Deadly Silent Cargo (part 1)

Every week trains carrying radioactive nuclear
waste travel from all over the UK to Sellafield. With the advent of new
reactors there will more trains carrying of raw nuclear fuel and waste
of much higher levels of radiation. And these pass close to where you
live. Sue Fairbanks follows the route from the Southwest to Sellafield.

@nikkinomad I would vote to ban it. When the queen opened, I think it was Hinkley.... she promised electricty so cheap it couldn't be measured in pence. The British public were sold a lie. It was all setup initially to make weapons, electricity was a dupe

@22ness0hayden the problems is that 'we' dont choose nuclear power it s chosen for us and the whole issue and technology is based in manifold flawed assumptions by the way you're right about the solution - banning nuclear technology completely...

I think this video is ridiculous. I have worked at a Magnox legacy Power Station for the past 5 years and my Father worked on the site for 31 years, and NEVER has there been a SINGLE nuclear accident, either at the Power Station, or on the railway as the spent fuel made it's journey to Sellafield. I think the whole documenary is laughable, and is centered wholly around bigotry, and misconceptions. I think the Greenpeace squad will view the energy debate differently when their lights go out!!

@tascouts120 they would not be able to withstand a ballistic missile, the explosion would create a dirty bomb

greenpeace are the biggest terrorists around we all know what what would happend a flask train crashed. greenpeace are so alarming. however i agree more security is needed

[22ness0hayden]

I think greenpeaces 'timetable' if anything would assist any would be terrorists

[22ness0hayden]

If you choose to have nuclear power then you have to transport the waste somehow. One day there will no doubt be an accident but I can't see a solution to the problem bar stopping with nuclear energy altogether.

[tascouts120]

On our way to school we cross over some tracks and those trains sometimes go past and I bet those flasks are al queda propf

message to mr dimulator... sorry dmulator, i bet you just keep your fingers crossed when in the hospital operating theatre that the wind keeps blowing eh ? we need all methods of providing power and if you disagree will you be the first to turn off your telly, computer, fridge, freezer, lights, microwave etc etc.?

[freekicking85]

the containers they are carried in are completely bomb proof and no radiation can be leaked out of them. Also, nobody has died or reported illnesses from being near the containers not even the drivers of the trains.. if they were dangerous nobody would dare drive the trains...
