AMERICA'S FIRST FATAL NUCLEAR REACTOR ACCIDENT

By Diane Orr

This chilling films uses recently declassified government film footage to re-create the true story of America's first nuclear accident, which took place in Idaho in 1961. The previously suppressed material indicates that the disaster may have been caused by the suicidal impulse of an individual technician. Filmed in a stark and formally challenging visual style, SL-1 explores the consequences of nuclear radiation while raising serious questions about human fallibility.

Reviews
  • "A powerful and poignant blend of journalism and drama, SL-1 is compelling viewing." - WEEKLY VARIETY

  • "...cuts through any complacency that might still be hidden in the mind of the viewer. Recommended viewing for anyone still foolish enough to believe that we can survive a nuclear war." - SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

    NUCLEAR COMEBACK, THE

    By Justin Pemberton

    In a world living in fear of climate change, the nuclear industry is now proposing itself as a solution. It claims that nuclear power generation produces zero carbon emissions... and people are listening. The result is the beginning of a global nuclear renaissance, with 27 nuclear power stations under construction, and another 136 to be commenced within the next decade.

    The world's electricity consumption is expected to double in the next 25 years and the nuclear industry claims that nuclear power is the only large-scale method of power production that can reliably replace coal, gas or oil-fired power plants. But many people have an inherent fear of nuclear power. Is it time we learned to love the split atom? Or is there a risk that we might be jumping out of the carbon frying pan and into the plutonium fire?

    THE NUCLEAR COMEBACK goes on a worldwide tour of the nuclear industry in search of answers. It visits some of the planet's most famous nuclear facilities, including the control room of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, it investigates the state of 'the grand old lady' of commercial nuclear power, the U.K.'s Calder Hall, and travels through a nuclear waste repository under the Baltic Sea, a uranium mine in Australia, and one of only two fuel recycling plants in the world.

    Despite nuclear power's new environmental benefits, detractors claim that it's producing a 100,000-year legacy of radioactive waste, for which there is not yet any permanent storage, that the power stations are known terrorist targets, and that the industry, in addition to its links to nuclear weapons, has a reputation for accidents and cover-ups.

    THE NUCLEAR COMEBACK thus poses the question of whether, by seriously considering the renewed development of nuclear power, we may now be gambling with the survival of our planet.

    Reviews
  • "A classy, informative and somewhat scary documentary¡K THE NUCLEAR COMEBACK garners a balanced array of viewpoints and information which allows the viewer to draw their own conclusion." - Blacklight Publishing Limited

  • "The industry sees climate change as its saviour, as a way of making the nuclear industry look environmentally friendly, which to be frank, it never has done." - Rob Edwards, Nuclear Correspondent, New Scientist

  • "We have absolutely no choice. We need to turn to nuclear energy because it is both clean, safe and abundant enough to ensure the survival of our civilization." - Bruno Comby, Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy

    ENERGY IN ACTION: NUCLEAR ENERGY

    Nuclear Energy, kids will discover the incredible power stored inside the tiny atom! The key concept is that huge amounts of energy can be released when the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together are disturbed. That can happen through fission, the splitting of an atom's nucleus or fusion, the combining of protons and neutrons from two different atoms. Pioneering scientists Lise Meitner and Marie Curie are introduced, and students learn how their research led to a greater understanding of the atom. Kids also learn that although nuclear energy is a clean, almost inexhaustible energy resource, there are safety issues that must be addressed. Includes an exciting hands-on demonstration to help explain nuclear chain reactions and the energy they release.

    Reviews
  • "…clearly explains a wide array of concepts?- School Library Journal

  • "The demonstration of a nuclear chain reaction is brilliant…and the vocabulary-related graphics are excellent. Women are depicted prominently and positively?- American Association for the Advancement of Science

  • "…very strongly recommended for all grade school science teachers and homeschooling parents…no elementary [or middle] school library should be without?[this] superbly produced and thoroughly "kid friendly" series?- Midwest Book Review (June 2006)

    PROMETHEUS PRINCIPLE, THE: PART 3 - NUCLEAR ENERGY: THE POWER OF THE ATOM

    In 1945, American planes wiped Hiroshima and Nagasaki off the face of the earth with two atomic bombs, killing over 200,000 people literally in a flash. It was a traumatic awakening for the world.

    German researchers had discovered nuclear fission in 1938, demonstrating to the world that untold quantities of energy were locked inside the atom. No other discovery in history has promised such blessings and yet been such a curse. Its potential was first tapped by the military, then, in the 1950s, by the civilian sector, as well. The new technology inspired high-flying visions as the worlds major powers jumped into its development and expansion in, among other things, nuclear power plants. The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 brought a rude awakening of another kind: it showed the world that the safety hazards inherent in this method of energy production had long been underestimated. Also the problems of safely disposing of nuclear waste are still far from being solved. Different views of the future of nuclear power are taken in different parts of the world.
