    since when is polonium used in nuclear weapons? never heard of that and polonium is found naturally in ore so why would we need to make it?. did the narrator mix up polonium and plutonium?

      Why does the production of atom bombs influence how you feel about atomic power stations? You can have one without the other.

    Efforts of epic level. But nuclear material is dirty liability to manage in long-run.

    The (unholy?) trinity of Los Alamos, Oak Ridge and Hanford is the "terrible resolve" the Sleeping Giant was awakened for; creating a juggernaut that the world had never known... for a price.

    Minor error in the narration: the xenon isotope that poisoned the reactor at first startup was xenon-135, not xenon-133.
