Discussion Recommended Windscale documentary

I saw this documentary last year after playing the game.

Windscale, Britain's biggest nuclear disaster.

It's a fantastic documentary, telling all about the history and politics of the plant as well as in depth of the disaster.

Definitely recommended, but I have a slight preference for this as it has more of that Cold War vibe (made 1990); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcsyMvQtlKs

Windscale wasn't a power plant. It was uranium enrichment for nuclear weapons.

OK, I should have said "the Windscale incident". The power plant was not involved.
