Visited the site on Wednesday, and the Lodge ... we wondered about Ormlie Lodge because of the number of identical grey coaches outside - we assumed it was a secret society, but this makes it all a lot clearer. The hotel still looks the same, except more shrubbery and a front wall.
13:55 we all know, how well the coastline has been protected from radioactivity on the Cumbrian coast at Sellafield ☠️ Nevertheless, thank you for uploading this historical documentary.
! Fact is that the Dounreay facility was one of the UK's worst decisions. What with Monju disaster in Japan, using solid Plutonium fuel rods and Sodium coolant, what with radiation hazard and Plutonium's relatively unstable characteristics at criticality, it is a recipe for disaster. What should have been investigated was molten Plutonium salt reactors, but now it is too late. Some ill-informed political leaders at the time, and naive scientist just focused on pushing technology without considering decommissioning and nuclear waste, have lead to degradation of the environment at Dounreay with hot particles and a hugely expensive decommissioning task. In comparison, Danish politicians in year 1986 took a holistic approach and decided against nuclear power because of the nuclear waste issue and turned to wind turbines instead. Now renewables are much cheaper than nuclear, and without the nuclear waste problems. We have idiots in UK government promoting Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C that will turn into disaster projects. Hinkley Point C will have a major failure around year 2030 and will contaminate most of Somerset, just like Fukushima Dai'ichi accident has ruined Fukushima prefecture for next 100000 years; mark my words here, I have insights into the future.
I love how what started as a somewhat intelligent and articulate comment just went right off the fucking deep end towards the end. Hahaha. You have my kind of madness, sir!
Why is this narrated as if the narrator just learned how construction works. Ridiculous. All day long the pouring went on, what, everybody works all day. Lazy Englishmen.
This is how all documentaries were back then. The first documentaries were written for idiots, then around the 70's they started making documentaries aimed at adults/humans, then around the year 2000 they reverted back to making documentaries for dunces again. Also most of the men would obviously be Scottish, they wouldn't have needed to import labourers from England.
Dounreay was ahead of its time. Pioneering design and engineering work!

Dounrey! Dounrey! Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah! *to be sung to the Stingray theme*
17:12 "speeded up"? Is it not "sped up"?
They used the same opening music as Plan 9, the Ed Wood film.
Why is the narrator saying ‘liquor’ store ? @13:14, 13:19, 13:29 ?
Liquor in this context meaning the liquid from a chemical process; it is more common in UK English and in older contexts.
Which is where we get the word liquor from seeing as we get strong alcohol from ethanol.

Yeah. Isn't hindsight a b!tch.
No
@@dotslashsatan Nonsense.
He is right, the British aren’t an advanced enough society to have nuclear power

When I worked as a crane operator I was chilling 90% of my work day
Hahaha you slave😀
