What happened to the big dome that was there during WINDSCALE

I kind of wish I'd worked there myself after watching this

everybody in nice cloths talks about the diver, but the diver is not interviewt

“clean and green energy” Orwellian double-think

Commercials in your vids?

When a society creates a liability that their descendants will have to shoulder.....

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯🥇🔝

I can confirm it definitely was her job, my dad cousin 😃

👏👏👏👏👍💯🔝🥇

Strange claim that a cheaper facility with thinner walls is a good thing. Wonder what happens after the interim facility closes?

Great insight into the work going on!

Wait till they have to start disposing of the toxins in EV batteries!

“A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit”. Respect!

12 minutes of my life wasted

Excellent stuff - well done!

No trust in the nuclear industry after all the lies they have told in the past

Good to know the clean-up is progressing. I would find it interesting to know how you plan to deal with the sludge in the pond. Presumably you need to separate the solids from the liquid and then treat the remaining liquid waste? Will the solid waste from the sludge also be stored in these new containers?

Pump the water out.

Very fancy scaffolding ..

Sellafield just dropped the coldest edit 🤧 🥶 🥶🥶🥶🧊, and didnt even give us a blanket. 😪😪😪

Ryan is getting a sunburn from the camera lights

those guys are amazing but there will be several thousand people getting paid on the back of this for doing next to nothing because its sellafield!

lol cumbria

Bet the waters always nice and warm.... :)

The cladding is zirconium contaminated with a little bit of nuclear materials. Easiest solution would be to disolve the nuclear materials into an acid bath then recycle the zirconium to make new fuel pins. The slight amount of radiation added would not be a problem. Then the acid bath can be distilled off to yeild a much smaller volume of high level solid nuclear waste.

power too cheap to be metered, lol, that qoute didn't age well

I don't care how much those guys get paid, its not enough.

@4:55 the counts are tiny! ive had more outside on a beach, and hundreds more on a flight! a HUGE testament to the Nuclear Safety Systems and controls they have in place!

What about all the lies Sellafield has told about repeated nuclear material leaks ? Sellafield have proved they are untrustworthy

1:40 he's not, uh, vacuuming up spent fuel that leaked. No way. There's no way a human would try that, too dangerous... 4:31 talking about multiple Sieverts...Holy Sh...yep, they are vacuuming up spent fuel! My word the people who ran Sellafield in the past were criminally irresponsible!

When he says "quality" does he mean high quality or poor quality.

Is this foolish video a joke?

They already have made robot master slave system to work in this type of environment, why risk human lives when you can send in a humanoid robot controlled by human in 1 to 1 ratio...

I read about this in the Grasmere Gazette. That fella's name is Farouk, and he only started there as a minimum wage cleaner about two weeks previous. Pretty tight of them to chuck him in the pond to sweep up. They could have just got him a broom with a longer handle.

Bet that divers making some of the best money you can.

Doesnt even have dry gloves, just builders latex coated work gloves. The power of water to protect from radiation. Wow.

Guess it’s own own fault we’re having to clean our own dirty mess,

Apparently the chap who dived into the pond in the 1950s is still alive and living in Seascale He is a very elderly gentleman

The dial wasn’t connected to anything it was fake it came out later along with other things mentioned below

It's a fascinating point that the water provides strong shielding from the remaining radioactivity compared to air; in hindsight this is obvious, but I had not previously considered it. I wonder if there are other scenarios where deliberately flooding a radiation-affected area would make it easier to get either robotic or human workers in the space to remediate. Obviously the tricky part is ensuring the water stays contained in spaces that may not have been designed for it (unlike these ponds) but perhaps is a worthwhile design consideration for future plants; ensure they're encased in a watertight tub so that they can be flooded if necessary both for cooling and to ease access.

What I've seen is clearly a task of robots! In Germany unbelievable!!!

Wow! A job I would not like to do 😮 Credit to the professionalism of the team!

so a dose per dive of 0.1mSV means up to 100 dives per year 0.1 mSv = 1 chest x-ray = 10 days exposure to (average) background radiation ALARP at work!

They paid $35 hr

Whatever we do do

That's a great achievement under complex and challenging circumstances. I'd like to see a report on the clean-up of B30, which must be one of the world's most dangerous legacy facilities.

What exactly is this waste, it looks like possibly fuel rod/element pieces and random scrap metal????

One day, power will come from a ZeroPointModule like that from the TV show Stargate, wouldn't that be great, no waste or worry, just power.

...and what did they do with the waste? how radioactive was the pond? how many more ponds need decontaminating? what is Carl's surname, and why wasn't it included? This video prompts more questions than it answers.

Why does the aerial view have a blurred area?
