At the time we lived just south in Barrow. When it happened I hadn't been born but mum was carrying me. The milk supply was stopped for about 2 weeks, they said it was poured down the drain. Some of Barrows water supply came from Seathwaite tarn in the Duddon Valley. There was a reservoir keeper lived there. Dad had to visit for work (2 days after) and one of his stories was from the reservoir keeper.......the day after the accident the tarn was covered in a white powder. I've been told that the lake district is a hotspot for cancers. Like multiple myeloma . Dad died of multiple myeloma in 1998. We've been told one of the possible causes is radiation and it can take 40 years?
What a disastrous event that was! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can imagine it must have been difficult for people to talk about it back then, for various reasons.
Definitely - thanks to that book otherwise we would not have known a lot
@@JuberAhmedTravel And people have the gall to see the Nuclear energy industry has never deliberately dumped waste. They poisoned communities living on the Irish sea both sides of the sea. Dundalk and Drogheda had higher rates of developmental problems in children and cancer rates which was claimed but now disproven for 17 years. But still you never know what damage has been caused.
Nice little video, interesting fact, though then reactors were never used to generate electricity. They were used to make plutonium for the first atomic bomb for the UK. That’s why the reactors were air cooled and didn’t use water because they weren’t generating electricity.
Really good short documentary
It's crazy how much West bullies the Russians because of Chernobyl and doesn't talk about their Chernobyls lol.
Too right!
Apparently the Irish sea is badly affected by radiation poisoning.
I know about this because of a kraftwerk song
From my distant memories of this incident, I believe you are missing a vital component part of the story. It was in fact the project manager, who despite ridicule and mockery, insisted on the rather bizarre ‘boxes’ constructed on the top of piles. He was the only one who foresaw the danger of fire, and this ‘afterthought’ is what stopped the north of England and Scotland being turned into a wasteland. In fact, the ‘boxes’, in the years before the fire, where referred too as …………foley, never after the event though. He is the real hero of this sad affair. Also, despite having knowledge of the set of circumstances which led to the incident, the Americans deliberately failed to share this vital information, some say. The Americans came across relevant information from Nazi scientists some also say, same information that led to advances in ballistic missile technologies. Context is everything with these stories.
Ew imagine not being able to have milk 🥛 🥲🥲🥲
I know right :(
Wait why am I watching this
