| Description: | Behind the scenes of the largest Plutonium producing plant of the world's third ranking atomic power, Britain. This is Rim Scale two separate atomic piles transmute enriched uranium raw material of the atomic bomb. Basic fuel of nuclear power. The process is not developed corporately by Anglo American scientist during WWII But today British research put the emphasis on developing power for the islands industry one large scale industrial heating plant is already been installed. The work here at Rim Scale is secrete in nature but experts observe that in science and technology Britain is second to none. In the age of the atom Britain still stands one of the leaders of science. Establishing shot - Rim Scale an atomic plant. MCUS - A worker in a radio active protective suit moving nuclear waste in barrels. CUS - Looks like a space man but he is actually a technician taking samples of radioactive waste material. CUS - Two technicians operating some kind of nuclear cylinder. CUS - More technicians in radioactive suits doing work on some kind of filtering system. MCUS - Technicians working with live electrical equipment. MCUS - Plant workers getting off work. MCUS - Technicians in a wash up area to make sure all atomic materials are off their skin. CUS - Final examination by a radioactive monitor. | |
