Podcasts about windscale

Made with real British nuclear radiation!While it may be common to see games based on historical events, those events are usually surrounding some manner of military conflict. Not so for this alternate history action-survival game developed and published by Rebellion Developments which follows the fallout of the 1957 Windscale fire. When the government moves in and quarantines the facility and the surrounding area, eyebrows start getting raised. Five years after the fire, our amnesia-afflicted protagonist enters the fray and must discover what is going down behind those walls. Will our hosts learn some things about British history in the process of playing? Indubitably! Will the mystery make for a compelling story and keep them playing after the hour? Sorry, no spoilers in this blurb, you'll need to press play and listen to their experiences to find out for yourself!What do you think?

Fallout på dagpenge, eller lige dét du mangler? Atomfall er et førstepersons action-survival-spil, udgivet og udviklet af det britiske Rebellion Development – et studie, der særligt er kendt for Sniper Elite-serien.Rebellions britiske ophav ses tydeligt i Atomfall. Spillet er nemlig inspireret af en ægte atomulykke, der skete i Windscale i det nordlige England i 1957. Faktisk var det den værste atomulykke i Englands historie – en ulykke, som endte med at sprede radioaktivt affald ud over ikke bare England, men også resten af Europa.Spillet foregår i en alternativ tidslinje i 1960'erne, hvor du som spiller vågner op midt inde i zonen. Du ved ikke, hvordan du er havnet der, men du ved, at du skal ud. En mystisk stemme i en rød telefonboks tilbyder at hjælpe dig, men spørgsmålet er, om du kan stole på den. Kan du overhovedet stole på nogen herinde?Udviklerne bag Atomfall har selv nævnt Fallout: New Vegas som en inspiration til spillet. Men spørgsmålet er, om det kan nærme sig kvaliteterne herfra, om det kan stå på egne ben, og om det kan tilfredsstille den hunger efter mere Fallout, som mange har.Alt det – og meget mere – skal vi finde ud af nu.I denne episode medvirker Lau Eskildsen, Janus Hasseriis, Mads Lund og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=7559L'ARMA DELLA SINISTRA E' SEMPRE STATA LA PROPAGANDA di Rino CammilleriIl giacobinismo andò al potere grazie alla propaganda. Pennaruli e avvocaticchi come Robespierre inondarono di cahiers di lamentele gli Stati Generali. I quali erano stati convocati perché la Francia, la Potenza numero uno, aveva perso la Guerra dei Sette Anni contro quella numero due, l'Inghilterra. Lo Stato (non il Paese, si badi) aveva le casse esauste. Ogni municipalità rappresentata delegò, ovviamente, gente di lingua svelta. E questi erano imbevuti di Rousseau e Voltaire, anche perché il bibliotecario reale, Malesherbes, anziché censurarli li aveva diffusi per due motivi: uno, era dei loro; due, il re era un imbecille (non lo dico io, ma uno dei maggiori storici francesi, Pierre Chaunu).Sorsero come i funghi le «società di pensiero»: avete presenti le interminabili assemblee sessantottine? Le quali sporularono il frutto della nuova libertà di stampa. Che infatti non c'entrava nulla con le richieste del popolo agli Stati Generali. E tutti i rivoluzionari, da Marat in poi, quello facevano: i giornalisti. Era nata la propaganda politica, anzi ideologica. Da allora, ecco i monumenti ai giornalisti che null'altro facevano e null'altro sapevano fare: Mazzini, Marx, Lenin e compagnia parolaia. E ghigliottina per chi dissentiva, non a caso una macchina per moltiplicare le eliminazioni, fino al gulag e ai killing fields in attesa dell'AI. Ci si faccia caso con gli eredi nostrani del giacobinismo, i piddini. Tutta la loro forza sta nella propaganda. Non hanno altro.Quando comandano, mandano il Paese a ramengo, riempiono il popolo di chiacchiere e le galere per chi non le beve. Quando sono all'opposizione strepitano, additano le falle, demonizzano, inventano sempre nuovi slogan, capitaneggiano i nuovi poveri che loro stessi hanno creato. Qualunque inezia può essere utilizzata per cavalcarla dopo averla ingigantita ad arte. Propaganda, appunto. E sotto la propaganda, niente. Fa caldo d'estate? Emergenza climatica. C'è il covid? Tutti a casa, tutti vaccinati quattro, cinque volte, e pure dieci se il covid non li avesse fregati sparendo. Il covid è sparito? Merito dei vaccini. Ora, mi sono imbattuto in una notizia storica che mi ha fatto riflettere. E dove l'ho trovata? Sulla Settimana Enigmistica, il che testimonia della situazione orwelliana in cui ci hanno sprofondato. Il peggior disastro nucleare della storia? Chernobyl, lo sanno tutti. In subordine, Fukushima.Morti? Pochissimi, ma quel che conta è l'enfasi interessata di chi ha in mano i nostri cervelli. Avete mai sentito parlare di Windscale? No? Non mi stupisce. A Windscale, nel Cumberland, Inghilterra, si incendiò un reattore nucleare. Bruciò per sedici ore, lasciò una vasta zona contaminata (e lo è ancora oggi), provocò fino a 240 morti tra diretti e indiretti. Ma il governo minimizzò per non creare panico. Era il 1957 e i Verdi non c'erano ancora (cioè, non c'era ancora chi li finanziava), così il mondo non ne seppe nulla. Notare che non era affatto un segreto di Stato. Semplicemente, la notizia non era pompata come lo sarebbe oggi. Il che significa che l'importante non è la notizia ma la pompa.La catena è questa: chi ha i soldi decide di pompare qualcosa; se ne fanno carico i giornalisti. i quali fanno quello per cui sono pagati. Poiché per fare i giornalisti c'è la fila al punto che c'è chi lo fa anche gratis, la morale è questa: chi ha in mano la propaganda ha in mano il pianeta. La libertà di stampa? Seeeh! Non c'è bisogno di costringere nessuno, basta attentare allo stipendio. Guardate la guerra in Ucraina. La versione zelenskiana è vera, quella putiniana è falsa per definizione. Chi ha costretto l'Italia ad allinearsi entusiasta, compresi Rai e media? Chi ha in mano la pompa. O il bastone e la carota, se preferite.È con la propaganda che si ottiene l'obbedienza totale perché convinta: lo schiavo migliore è quello che crede di essere libero. [...]

Numera finns radioaktivitet överallt omkring oss. Kan den kontrolleras av oss människor? Anna Storm åker ner i underjorden och funderar på hur vi idag formar framtidens natur. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vi har passerat vägspärren, och vakten i sin kur har kontrollerat våra papper och id-handlingar. Framme på anläggningen är det ytterligare en kontroll; vi får låsa in våra saker i ett skåp och hänga en besöksbricka om halsen. I minibuss åker vi sedan längs en bred väg som sänker sig ned under marknivå, mot porten in i berget.Det kunde ha varit en gruva, en modern gruva med enorma vägsystem för stora fordon. Men här är det ingen som letar, spränger och forslar upp värdefulla mineraler till samhällsbygget ovan jord. Den här platsen handlar om att förvara de farliga rester som blivit över. Vi befinner oss i slutförvaret för kortlivat radioaktivt avfall, SFR, i Forsmark.SFR stod klart redan för fyrtio år sedan och består av tunnlar och schakt, utsprängda i berggrunden i Östersjöns botten. Här förvaras sådant som filter, verktyg och skyddsutrustning. Alltså ganska vardagliga föremål som blivit radioaktivt kontaminerade. Strax intill SFR ska ytterligare ett slutförvar byggas. Det ska ta hand om det allra farligaste och mest långlivade radioaktiva avfallet: det uttjänta bränslet från reaktorerna vid våra kärnkraftverk.I den industrialiserade västvärlden finns en stark föreställning om att det radioaktiva avfallet kan inneslutas på ett säkert sätt. Att det kan kontrolleras och begränsas, med hjälp av tekniska lösningar och välfungerande samhällsinstitutioner. Det stämmer till viss del, men det är inte hela sanningen.Sedan den första atomsprängningen 1945 har uppskattningsvis drygt 2000 detonationer skett i världen. Mycket få som aktiva krigshandlingar, desto fler som testsprängningar. På grund av sprängningarna, och på grund av olyckor inom den civila kärnkraften, med namn som Mayak, Windscale, Tjernobyl och Fukushima, och faktiskt också medvetna utsläpp från olika kärntekniska anläggningar, har vi skapat ett läge där radioaktiva partiklar sprids över hela jorden på ett sätt som inte går att hejda. Spridningen sker via luften, vattnet, marken, växter, djur och våra egna kroppar, och den fortgår, den är inget som tillhör det förflutna utan en del av vår samtid, och framtid.Historikern Kate Brown har kallat den globala utbredningen av radioaktivitet för ”den stora Tjernobyl-accelerationen”, just för att betona att det är något som fortsätter. Konsekvenserna minskar inte med tiden, utan ökar, accelererar.Men, kan man undra, är det så väldigt illa? Radioaktivitet finns ju faktiskt naturligt omkring oss. Vi utsätts för bakgrundsstrålning från marken, och annan strålning när vi går till tandläkaren och när vi flyger. Inom till exempel vården har radioaktiviteten många avgörande förtjänster. Är farligheten överdriven? Borde vi i själva verket betrakta radioaktiviteten som något helt naturligt?Vad betyder ens natur och naturligt i det här sammanhanget? Människans påverkan på jorden har idag nått ut till dess mest avlägsna hörn. Det finns inte längre någon fullständig vildmark, något orört landskap eller ekosystem. Så om vi tänker på natur som något ursprungligt och skilt ifrån människan ligger det nära till hands att se ett ”naturens slut”, att det inte längre existerar någonting som vi kan kalla 'naturligt'.Filosofen Kate Soper lyfter fram en annan förståelse av natur, där natur är alla de strukturer och processer som är oberoende av mänsklig aktivitet, men som samtidigt villkorar människans tillvaro. Ur detta synsätt kan naturen inte ”ta slut”, eftersom den, som Soper skriver, ”kommer att fortsätta verka också mitt i ett atomkrig eller i en brinnande asteroidkrock”. Naturen är alltså en del av vår tids klimatförändringar, en flora och fauna i förvandling, och den ökade spridningen av radioaktivitet. Naturen påverkas av människan, men förändras också oberoende av oss, och är i den meningen fortsatt något naturligt.Ett cyniskt exempel på när radioaktiviteten betraktas som något naturligt och samtidigt möjligt att innesluta – det hittar vi i den ryska kärnenergiindustrin. Där har man under lång tid pumpat flytande radioaktivt avfall djupt ned i berggrunden, förmodat långt bort och avskilt från människan. Tillvägagångssättet beskrivs just som ett försök att efterlikna naturen, genom att återföra till underjorden det som en gång hämtades upp därifrån i form av brytning av uran.Tillbaka i Sverige och Forsmark stannar minibussen och vi kliver ur i SFR:s underjordiska besöksdel. Genom ett litet fönster med tjockt glas kan vi titta på det radioaktiva avfallet som ligger förpackat i stora boxar, täckta av ett lager betong i ett bergrum med välvt tak. Det är märkligt anonymt, och det är främst fönstrets litenhet och tjocklek som förmedlar att det här inte är vilket avfallslager som helst. Strax intill finns information om den teknik som utvecklats för att i framtiden förvara det uttjänta kärnbränslet. Den bygger på ett antal barriärer som ska innesluta det starkt radioaktiva materialet – barriärer av gjutjärn, koppar, lera och berggrund.Här finns också en dricksvattenfontän i sten och betong och med ett enkelt plaströr ur vilket det rinner lite vatten. Den ser aningen malplacerad ut. Guiden berättar, med ett litet skratt, att här kan vi pröva hur 7000 år gammalt vatten smakar. Vattnet samlas nämligen inifrån berget, och där ska det finnas fickor med vatten från Littorinahavet, som föregick dagens Östersjön. Hon tillägger att det kanske inte smakar så gott, eftersom det är rätt salt.I valet att dricka vattnet eller inte ställs vår tillit till inneslutningen av det radioaktiva avfallet på sin spets. Smakar vattnet bara av salt och sten, och möjligen stora tidsdjup, eller finns där något annat också? Det har ju trots allt runnit genom berget där radioaktivt avfall förvaras, och radioaktivitet kan inte uppfattas med våra sinnen: det syns inte, hörs inte, smakar, luktar och känns inte. Utan tekniska hjälpmedel kan vi inte avgöra om radioaktiviteten just här och just nu är innesluten och kontrollerad, eller om vi är på väg att dricka den.Vi människor står mellan hoppet att kunna kontrollera det farliga avfallet och insikten att radioaktiviteten har blivit, så att säga, naturlig. Vi måste leva med radioaktiviteten, med fortsatt tilltro till samhällsinstitutioner och tekniska lösningar, men kanske också med lite större ödmjukhet inför deras begränsningar.Med rätt instrument är det lätt att mäta nivån av eventuell radioaktivitet i vattnet från dricksvattenfontänen i SFR i Forsmark. Mer osäkert är om det i framtiden kommer att finnas förutsättningar för drickbart vatten. Vår livsmiljö är för alltid påverkad av radioaktivitet, och frågan vi bör ställa oss är nog inte främst om radioaktivitet ska betraktas som något naturligt, utan om naturens verkningar framöver formar en beboelig planet. Med andra ord, om det som är 'naturligt' i framtiden rymmer en livsmiljö för människan som art.Anna Storm, professor i teknik och social förändring vid Linköpings universitet

Der erste große Reaktorunfall ereignete sich nicht in Harrisburg, Tschernobyl oder Fukushima – sondern im britischen Windscale, heute bekannt als Sellafield. Die britische Regierung versuchte den massiven Störfall zu vertuschen.

Der erste große Reaktorunfall ereignete sich nicht in Harrisburg, Tschernobyl oder Fukushima - sondern im britischen Windscale, heute bekannt als Sellafield. Doch die britische Regierung versuchte den massiven Störfall zu vertuschen und zu verharmlosen, so dass die Beinah-Katastrophe bis in die 1990er Jahre praktisch unbekannt blieb...

Serhii Plokhy is a professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard University and a leading authority on the Cold War and nuclear history. He's written a number of books on the subject, including Chernobyl: History of a Tragedy. Serhii Plokhy is the pre-eminent historian of that event, and the book is a definitive history of the world's worst nuclear disaster. His new book Atoms and Ashes: From Bikini Atoll to Fukushima is a history of the nuclear age, told through six of the biggest disasters; Bikini Atoll, Kystym, Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. Professor Plokhy tells Kathryn how the spectre of nuclear accidents still remains today, now more so than ever. Another nuclear disaster could be unfolding in Serhii Plokhy's own hometown; Zaporizhia, after Russian soldiers invaded Ukraine and occupied the nuclear power plant in February.

In 2011, a 43-foot-high tsunami crashed into a nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan. In the following days, explosions would rip buildings apart, three reactors would go into nuclear meltdown, and the surrounding area would be swamped in radioactive water. It is now considered one of the costliest nuclear disasters ever. But Fukushima was not the first, and it was not the worst.Acclaimed historian Serhii Plokhy returns to the podcast. Serhii joins Dan to tell the tale of some of the nuclear disasters that shook the world. From the 1957 fire at the Windscale facility in Cumbria which burned for three days and released radioactive fallout, to the 1986 crisis at Chernobyl, Serhii shows how the same story of nuclear ambition, often clouded by political and economic motives, is tragically repeated time and again.Produced by Hannah WardMixed and Mastered by Dougal PatmoreIf you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!

'The Conversation' To celebrate the first year of the podcast series 'Are We Nearly There Yet?' we have a special conversation between one of the nuclear industry's newest recruits and one of it's earliest pioneers. Dr Tim Gregory is a geologist who did a PhD in cosmochemistry. He became a meteorite scientist at the University of Bristol and the British Geological Survey until 2020 when he joined the National Nuclear Laboratory at Sellafield Ltd as a nuclear analytical chemist.  He published his popular science book, ‘Meteorite' in 2020.  Tim is a scientist, an author and a speaker having appeared on television and radio.  His own episode of 'Are We Nearly There Yet?' can be found here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-gkez5-105b3cf Professor Juan Matthews joined the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell in 1962 as a Scientific Assistant in the Metallurgy Division. He pioneered uranium fuel for the UK's prototype Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor at Windscale before doing a physics degree at Surrey. He has worked on plutonium fuels for the UK's Fast Reactor programme.  He became Programme Manager for General Nuclear Safety and Fast Reactors.  He was Regional Director for Asia Pacific for AEA Technology plc, based in Japan with operations also in South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Singapore. This is a fascinating conversation. For more information about Dr Tim Gregory and his book, ‘Meteorite', see: https://www.tim-gregory.co.uk/ For more information about Prof. Juan Matthews see: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-matthews-518313/

Professor Philip Thomas has extensive experience in the chemical and nuclear industries, with over 20 years experience at Imperial Chemical Industries and the UK Atomic Energy Authority where he managed the green-field decommissioning of the Windscale advanced gas-cooled reactor.  He moved into academia in 2000, taking up a chair in Engineering Development at City, University of London.  The University of Bristol appointed him Professor of Risk Management in 2015.  He is a Freeman of the City of London and Junior Warden of the Worshipful Company of Scientific Instrument Makers, a City of London guild.  He has published over 130 journal and conference papers on control, instrumentation, nuclear decommissioning, risk assessment, economics and law.  His book, Simulation of Industrial Processes for Control Engineers, was published in 1999. Philip Thomas researches risk management, where he has developed the Judgement- or J-value (http://jvalue.co.uk/overview.php ) , a framework that enables objective decisions to be taken on expenditure to protect humans and the environment.  He recently led a team applying the J-value and complementary techniques to gauge how best to cope with a big nuclear accident such as Chernobyl or Fukushima.  The results of the multi-university study (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/process-safety-and-environmental-protection/vol/112/part/PA ) were reported by the national and international press.  His J-value insights on managing the current coronavirus pandemic have attracted similar press coverage. He has written extensively on Covid-19 measurement and control strategies for The Spectator, the UK's longest-running news journal (https://www.spectator.co.uk/writer/philip-thomas ) and the measurements of key epidemic parameters for England, made with the PCCF measurement filter he derived, are updated daily on The Spectator Covid-19 Data Tracker (https://data.spectator.co.uk/ ).

A nuclear and radiation accident is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as "an event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility." Examples include lethal effects to individuals, radioactive isotope to the environment, or reactor core melt." The prime example of a "major nuclear accident" is one in which a reactor core is damaged and significant amounts of radioactive isotopes are released, such as in the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The impact of nuclear accidents has been a topic of debate since the first nuclear reactors were constructed in 1954, and has been a key factor in public concern about nuclear facilities. Technical measures to reduce the risk of accidents or to minimize the amount of radioactivity released to the environment have been adopted, however human error remains, and "there have been many accidents with varying impacts as well near misses and incidents". As of 2014, there have been more than 100 serious nuclear accidents and incidents from the use of nuclear power. Fifty-seven accidents have occurred since the Chernobyl disaster, and about 60% of all nuclear-related accidents have occurred in the USA. Serious nuclear power plant accidents include the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (2011), Chernobyl disaster (1986), Three Mile Island accident (1979), and the SL-1 accident (1961). Nuclear power accidents can involve loss of life and large monetary costs for remediation work. Nuclear-powered submarine accidents include the K-19 (1961), K-11 (1965), K-27 (1968), K-140 (1968), K-429 (1970), K-222 (1980), and K-431 (1985). Serious radiation incidents/accidents include the Kyshtym disaster, Windscale fire, radiotherapy accident in Costa Rica,[15] radiotherapy accident in Zaragoza, radiation accident in Morocco, Goiania accident,[18] radiation accident in Mexico City, radiotherapy unit accident in Thailand, and the Mayapuri radiological accident in India.
