BBC Four Goes Nuclear

A season of programmes around the 70th anniversary of Hiroshima. The season leads with the one-off documentary, Britain’s Nuclear Secrets: Inside Sellafield, giving audiences unprecedented access to one of Britain’s most iconic nuclear facilities. Other programmes in the season include the film War Book, a chilling story of a war game between government officials, exposing the fragility of our everyday life and those who govern it in the face of nuclear attack; the documentary The Race For The World’s First Atomic Bomb: A Thousand Days Of Fear, which is an inside-the-barbed-wire story of the men and women who worked on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos; while Storyville explores the complexity of nuclear power - from Chernobyl to Fukishima, to X-Rays and MRI scans - and the dread and the promise it can bring.
