The Trawsfynydd nuclear power station is the UK's only inland nuclear reactor, and resides beside Wales' second largest lake, Llyn Trawsfynydd. The site has a fascinating history and remains a centre of activity and pioneering practices in nuclear decomissioning. The site has been responsible for significant radioactive contamination, employment, power and may have a future role in more modern nuclear technologies. My documentary focuses on these issues as well as the issues that face local people in terms of their health, work, leisure and indeed their future.

Disclaimer - I will admit this video is quite dramatic. It is likely that any risk to visitors is negligible, though the long term effect of frequent and prolonged exposure to the site may have some risks. These risks need to be evaluated with further good quality study and cannot be accurately estimated at this time. I encourage you to research yourself.
