Dear friends,
In this video I tell you the story of three technicians of an Uranium enrichment plant.
In 1999, a criticality event occurred in a small town in Japan inside a building where Uranium was enriched for an experimental nuclear power plant.
I'm about to tell you about the Tokaimura incident!
