Special!

Thanks so much for taking us to this remote place, which I shall certainly never visit. The drone flights brought the enchantingness of the place so well into one's consciousness, that was a privilege. Also much better than hacking through the undergrowth with a knife (probably verboten anyway). I went to school in North Staffordshire and we boys used to play in the woods amongst the rhododendrons. They kill absolutely everything in the earth below them, so that the ground underneath them is bare. Probably 100 species of creepy crawlies gone to the wall. Your videos are such a blessing.

I miss that place🥲

Save the redwoods!!

Absolutely stunning footage! Fully watched, liked, and subscribed. I’m also working on similar projects and really appreciate your unique style!

Beautiful green ❤😊 please stay connected my new friend ❤😊

objection logged!

Did you not buy your house of the cement factory and you are well known to regular bonfires so much for protecting the planet 😂😂😂

Congratulations on an excellent and well balanced video, listing benefits and drawbacks to the development. Some points: 1. Surely Heidelberg should be including all the local trees (including the very efficacious Redwoods) in the CO2-capture calculations? I know of no CO2-capture technology as effective as a tree over hundreds of years. 2. Very sad to hear of the planned new haulage roads. Heidelberg has the immense advantage of an immediate connection to the railway, for which there even exist mid-term plans for electrification to handle the Felixstowe - West Midlands freight flows. Electric lorries are a pipe dream, and their CO2 production plus the CO2 REDUCTION inherent in rail haulage must be factored in to the planning process. 3. We need to be aware that Ketton, Barnack, Clipsham are the sources of some of the finest building stone in England. Together with the Dorset Portland stone (which lies on the same oolitic limestone stratum), it is responsible for most of the finest English architecture in London, Oxford, Cambridge, the Cotswold and Rutland villages which attract so much tourism, the cathedral cities and internal, weather-protected sculptures. When it's gone it's gone, and with it the preservation of the English Heritage. 4. Congrats also on the brilliant photography: if anybody is stressed after work, I thoroughly recommend them to click on Jay's Arran video, which is worth four visits to the doctor.

Please share the video with as many folks as you can, if we can collectively suggest reasonable changes to these plans by commenting on the application, there is a chance to change things for the better! Also, if any locals, in favour or opposition to the plans would be willing to conduct an interview with me I would love to talk to you.

The co2 emissions should not be a concern because if this place close the cemant will just be produced in another place that wont care about the emissions as the demand for cement is still there. The destruction of local nature is far more important than the co2. Lastly i would like to say i hope this channel can grow in the future because you do produce great content. Keep on trucking Jay.

I was touched on my shoulders in the ghost tunnel.. I was the only person in that tunnel.

One of the hill farmers said when they got paid out for the so called fallout from Chernobyl that the radiation was from Trawsfynydd not Chernobyl.

Wow. My sister and I swam in that lake regularly during the early 80's on camping trips. All good healthwise! It's a special place to me.

Do try to do some research on correct pronunciation of Welsh place-names please. They're not difficult to learn! Imagine what you'd think of me if I pronounced English place-names using my native Welsh phonetics!

Excellent synopsis, thanks

It makes one wonder if any Nuclear or Thorium power plants are possible?

Three Eyed Fish.

We have been working around the hydro station for many years. The hydro station was built in 1928. And is still operating. Some people seem to think the reservoir was built for the nuclear station🙄

About forty years ago, on a very hot summers day, I swam in the lake, to one of it's islands. When I was 30 yards from shore, the water got icy cold, and I finally heated up whilst sunbathing for an hour on the island. I did not look forward to my return trip..!

2:25 "Each reactor produced around 250 Megawatt electric." What? If your understanding of basic science is so poor, you shouldn't be making this sort of video,.

ChatGPT says: "Public Health Impact - To date, monitoring data have generally suggested that radiation exposure levels due to the plant's operations and subsequent contamination are low, within regulatory safety limits. Long-term health studies and environmental monitoring continue to ensure any potential risks are managed effectively." The standard of his research into the facts is about the same as his research into pronouncing the Welsh names. Zero. Dywed ChatGPT: "Effaith ar Iechyd y Cyhoedd - Hyd yn hyn, mae data monitro wedi awgrymu'n gyffredinol bod lefelau amlygiad ymbelydredd oherwydd gweithrediadau'r planhigyn a halogiad dilynol yn isel, o fewn terfynau diogelwch rheoleiddiol. Mae astudiaethau iechyd hirdymor a monitro amgylcheddol yn parhau i sicrhau unrhyw risgiau posibl yn cael eu rheoli’n effeithiol.” Mae safon ei ymchwil i’r ffeithiau tua’r un fath â’i ymchwil i ynganu’r enwau Cymraeg.

I used to work at Amersham International’s site in Cardiff. The site produced radioactive products used in medical diagnostic procedures and tests. As a nuclear site we were very well regulated and had excellent health physics facilities. Shortly after the Chernobyl accident our perimeter radiation alarms went off due to the rain bringing down fallout on the site. It was more radioactive on the grass lawns surrounding the buildings than it was in our “hot labs”.! The uplands in North Wales had a significant radioactive fallout, with a subsequent ban on selling Welsh lamb from that area. Our well equipped Health Physics laboratory was asked by UK Government to carry out periodic testing of lamb samples from the affected area to determine when the radioactive contamination had subsided enough so that the ban could be lifted. Each type of nuclear reactor produces a very characteristic pattern of radioactive byproducts - a fingerprint if you like. Our sophisticated sampling not only was capable of measuring overall radioactivity but also the fingerprint of the types of each radioactive isotopes. At the start of the testing, the results were cleat cut. The fingerprint of isotopes was entirely consistent with the Chernobyl RMK reactor type. After a few months as these short lived isotopes decayed, an underlying other fingerprint emerged which had been swamped out by the dominant Chernobyl fingerprint. This new fingerprint was entirely consistent with radioactive contamination from the Trawsfynedd Magnox reactor. As soon as this was communicated to the UK Government, we were told that all testing would now be transferred to UK Government laboratories, thus trying to put a lid on the fact that the Trawsfynedd reactor had been contaminating the environment for years. Not long afterwards the UK Government announced that the reactor was to be decommissioned.

What a load of tripe. Rarely has a KZbin video been produced with such a lack of research into such a wide range of subjects. I hereby sentence you to produce another video on a similar subject in Wales, this time the Wylfa NPS on Anglesey, but in Welsh.

I went past it some years ago there were monitors up on the telegraph poles in the past monitoring the area. That got the attention of the locals I was told.

WHO IS SHAGGING ALL THE SHEEP ?

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

This is gorgeous

Are you sure Hinckley Point is not 2 x 1.5 GW?

I once worked with a guy in the early 70s . He said he would go fishing near the plants out fall and would take the fish home to eat . I hope he is still ok to this date . He did say the fish at the out fall were very large . I have holidayed a lot with North Wales and I did hear talk the fuel was only half spent and taken out of the reactor . To supply the USA with bomb making material which was in short supply at the time . Making the plant uneconomic .

The lake was originally designed to supply tap water for Liverpool.

Lake Karachay is something else!

Dr Chris Busby may not be the most reliable source; he tried selling anti-radiation pills post-Fukushima (and even before so), and his Welsh cancer study was refuted by the Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit.

When I caught that three eyed fish that glowed in the dark. I did wonder about radioactive contamination.. 🐠 ⚛️

Strangely, the small hydro power stations built in the area have produced more electricity than the Nuclear power station. The turbines are still spinning while decommissioning continues.

As a teenager I spent many a time fishing in the lake!! A sample of the fish to be caught could be seen in the hot pool! ALL dead of course!! These were retrieved swiftly, to stop the spread of bad news!!😮

You being paid by Amazon!! what is this a Lord of the rings trailer

Well, God bless you for this. Quite lovely. I shall jolly well subscribe in the hope for more.

magnox - literally no one else uses it. Its a terrible idea. BNF spent £100s of millions to try to make work. It was an obvious dead end. However thats not how UK gov contracts work. since the 1960s molten salt designs were the obvious way to go. the uk as ever is about 30-50 years late on everything.

Thanks for Watching - Locations featured are as follows: 00:00 North Sannox 00:54 Thunderguy 01:20 Thunderguy Beach 01:58 Old Brodick Dock 02:30 Brodick Castle (Goat Fell in background) 03:00 Whitefarland Point 03:58 High above Coire-Fhionn Lochan 04:34 Coire-Fhionn Lochan 05:29 Brook on Thunderguy Beach 06:27 Between Catacol and Thunderguy 06:54 Lochranza Castle 08:20 Between Sannox and North Sannox There are countless other beautiful sites on the Isle, weather permitting I would try and capture more but this was all I managed on this recent trip. Well worth a visit!

Won’t be fully decommissioned till 2083, only ran for 24 years.

Been to Snowdonia countless times. Didn’t know bout the Magnos Power plant. Interesting stuff!

You should have asked a local how that's pronounced 😂

You could've ironed your shirt knowing that you were going to appear on camera. Dressing like you're in Antifa doesn't aid credibility and is far more offensive than dodgy pronunciation.

A necessary evil sorry to say.

Over dramatic, highly biased, hysterical Radiophobia

I grew up in Portmadoc (Porthmadog) in the 1960's. Your pronunciation of placenames is awful. A quick chat with the locals would have put you right. I did enjoy the historical overview. But you built the video around a nothing. Radioctive lake? Get real. And "Welsh rain forest"? Dhhhh.

not sure how the lake can become contaminated, the MAGNOX reactors were core-cooled by pressurised Carbon Dioxide, which was cooled by the steam circuit, which in turn was cooled by the lake water. The lake water did not come into contact with the core of the reactors.

the symbol for Wales is a Dragon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I had no idea there were also this monster in Wales 😳 a Brilliant exposure of this hidden hazard hiding in plain sight 🤔
