did you know that after the 1986
Chernobyl nuclear disaster at at reactor
number four that the other reactors on
that site were not shut down permanently
in fact they were kept running producing
electricity by workers who were brought
in by train every day to work on those
other reactors the last of which was
shut down around the year 2000 that is
just one of the many surprising facts I
found out while shooting a documentary
for TV which is called uranium twisting
the Dragon's Tail now while we were
shooting this documentary I would take
out my little camera and shoot small
pieces while they were setting up the
big camera this is
James lame but that's allowed me to make
some YouTube videos for you including uh
the most radioactive places on Earth and
I'll have a few more of those videos
coming out uh very soon but what I
wanted to show you was the trailer for
this documentary um I want you guys to

you think and I will put at the end of
the trailer the dates that this
documentary will be aired in your area

and in Europe so stay tuned to the end
of this trailer to check out when it'll

[Music]
dragon around the turn of the 20th
century uranium is almost unknown it is
basically worthless but then in 40 years
just a single generation it becomes the
most desirable and terrifying rock on
Earth this is uranium and as a physicist
I'm fascinated by its unique scientific
properties but even more so by how this
one rock has shaped the entire modern
world
uranium changes
everything uranium makes the modern
world uranium is a dream of clean
Limitless power or a nightmare of a
silent and poisoned earth oh it's hot
it's hot here it's really hard it's
overloaded come with me on a journey to
find the most
desirable this is a nuclear
reactor and the most hated rock on Earth
it's just that fear if it blows what's
going to happen is
how did we unleash the elemental Force
within
uranium what happened when we woke the
dragon this is the story of how a rock
changed the world
