This photo shows a nuclear power plant in Germany . It was taken with an Olympus OMD EM 10. The lens is a 45mm Olympus M. 1.8.
At the time, my aim was to get a shot (for work) of the nuclear plant of Cattenom/France from the town of Remerchen in Luxembourg which is only 12 km away. Initially, it was planned to build a plant in Remerchen but this was successfully prevented by environmental activists.
While on site, my boy who starts to enjoy photography, decided to document my work! Since this was a crop field, I told him to only walk the lines, that did not have any plants in order not to damage the farmer's property! I think showing respect for others and their belongings is essential in photography - and life for that matter!

I've been trying to work out a process for shooting against a brilliant background... just learning in baby steps.
Before 1995 some reactors in mainland Europe dispatched their irradiated nuclear fuel to Sellafield by rail, crossing the channel (and in some cases the North Sea) by rail ferry. After the Channel Tunnel was opened in 1994, rail ferries were no longer viable but nuclear cargo was excluded from the tunnel, leading to all that traffic going by sea to the Port of Barrow-in-Furness.
One of the Ferry-wagons utilised for flask traffic from the continent is seen here marshalled into an ordinary freight in July 1995, 6F47 the 1234 Workington to Warrington, Arpley sidings powered by 47308, passing Seascale Golf course. The wagon is not carrying nuclear material and has just been “cut into” the consist at Sellafield to return it to the continent via rail ferry.
Type: Boiling Water Reactor, 4 Turbines (1 high pressure turbine, 3 coupled low pressure turbines)
Total reactor area: 60 acres
The building complex has over 1,000 rooms that were constructed by up to three meters of steel-enforced concrete).
The same type of nuclear reactors are in operation in Germany (Isar 1 and Philippsburg 1)
Diameter of the reactor core: 6.5 meters; 20 meters high
Cooling pool with 60 tons of heavy surface shell
When operational, the pressure container was to be filled to two thirds capacity with pre-heated water. The Uranium Dioxide fuel rods, enriched by up to 4.02 percent Uranium 235 would have been subject to atomic fusion, creating sufficient heat to boil the water and producing steam, which then would have driven the turbines. After passing through the turbines, the steam (about 7000 tons per hour) would have been returned to a fluid state by the action of the cooling water in the condenser and reintegrated into the cycle. The steam in such a reactor reaches a temperature of 270 degrees Celsius and the pressure would have been 80 Bar in order to operate the four turbines. The reactor was conceived to provide 732 megawatts of electricity – enough for 1.8 million households.
After the bombs went off...after the world was plunged into war...after the missiles were fired...all that remains is the Wall. The last border to protect the Russian people from the Allied onslaught. Something had gotten into the Allied leaders. They were filled with hatred for all Eastern peoples. Russia, China, Japan, and India united in a Coalition against the Allied monsters. India fell first. Then Japan. China was the third to succumb to the Allied war machine. But Russia endured. For fifteen years we have fought, hoped, defended. Now it seems as if there is no escape from the enemy.

Something a little different for you guys. Want to see more of this storyline?
Replaced photo because I was displeased with it.

This is the Enrico Fermi nuclear power plant on the shore of Lake Erie near Monroe, Michigan. Fermi 1, constructed in 1963, suffered a partial melt-down in 1966 due to a blockage in the cooling tower. Officially, no radioactive particles were released. It was shutdown in 1972, and in 1988 was replaced by Fermi 2 which operates today. It produces a significant portion of the electricity used in Michigan. The white gas released from the towers is essentially steam (water).
After the disasterous events in Japan following an earthquake and tsunami, many people question the efficacy of building new nuclear power plants. Yet others point to the advantage of relatively clean (at least compared to burning fossil fuels) electricity production.

Regan West (in Danish "Regan Vest") is a nuclear-protected bunker located 60 meters underground in Rold Skov. It was to be a civilian place of work and residence for the Danish government, royal house, etc. in a military emergency. From here, the civilian crisis management of Denmark would take place. Areas for the plot where the bunker was to be located were purchased in 1961, and the finished bunker was taken into use in 1969. In 2012, it was removed from the emergency services.
The use of Cinestill DoubleX film can really change the mood of a landscape completely. Here, I took a photo of these barren trees in Winter. The ground was still golden brown without any green. The result looks just like the aftermath of a nuclear blast.
Film: Cinestill BwXX
Camera: Contax IIa
Lens: Voigtlander SC Skopar 35mm F2.5
La centrale nucléaire de Nogent-sur-Seine donne un joli spectacle de lumière en pleine nuit. La vapeur avec un temps d'exposition assez conséquent nous offre un joli voile de coton. Paysage certes relativement industriel... mais regardons le un moment d'une autre façon.

DRS class 68s, 68016 "Fearless" and 68017 "Hornet", catch a bit of sun as they pass Mostyn at the mouth of the Dee Estuary with the 07.36 Crewe Coal Sidings - Valley Nuclear Electric flasks (6D43).
I was scouting the area for the first time en route to Holyhead and figured this was the best place, given the track alignment, to at least get a bit of side glint from the early morning sun. Sadly got depressed by the vegetation tunnel that seems to envelop this part of the route, but will return to check out some other options over the next few of weeks.
I presume the signal box just about visible is Mostyn. The industrial complex on the left lies within the restricted port area and, just to the left of the signal box, is an area devoted to the North Wales Resignalling Project.
I did take the standard close-in shot as the train approached, but..........

Nuclear Colorado Controversy

Almost got it, saw it happening but about half of a second late with shutter release. Oh well, another one that got away. Saw a video about always being ready for the next capture and my tendency is to slower shutter speeds, but I'm "slowly" (ha) adapting faster speeds. On hindsight though, maybe iso 800 and 1/3200s is a bit high?
After a long drive up for 37401 I literally only just arrived in time to get this, 37612 & 37610 on the 6K74 0849 Sellafield - Crewe Coal sidings nuclear flask train seen here at Lowca 8/8/15.
MOC WARS! DESTROY! Fellowship Of The Brick!
My attempt at destroying W. Navarre's Nuclear Sunrise, his entry to the Variety Pack category on behalf of his team: Tim and the Imps.
The idea being that the moment of awe and beauty he created is destroyed by the passing of time, leaving behind a dull landscape of fire and death.
No, Saskatchewan does not have any nuclear weapons testing ranges, but sometimes the clouds look that way.

Nuclear 1 Power Plant just came back online this week and it was my first chance to get a sunset picture of it.
Its sunburn all round as 37610 'T.S.(Ted) Cassady 14.5.61 - 6.4.08' and 'heavyweight' 37716 catch the rays as they head to Sellafield with 6M60 Seaton-on-Tees to Sellafield on the 23rd February. Sunshine was in just the right place I think!
A long journey for a very short train!
Ever since it started occasionally running I had thought that if a good weather forecast and a free afternoon coincided with the 6Z95 low level nuclear waste train from Winfrith, I ought to head out into Dorset to photograph it.
Today could have been that day, but unfortunately the cloud did not clear as expected and scuppered the departure shot.
Fortunately, west of Winfrith you do get a second chance when the train returns after reversing at Dorchester South.
Running with just two PFA wagons today, 68002 and 68003 are in charge of the 15:51 Winfrith Sidings - Crew (for onward transport to Drigg) now heading away from the camera and about to pass their point of origin.
A small gap in a large cloud fortuitously opening up right at the last minute took the photographers by surprise, but did mean that I didn't come home completely empty handed.
Methamphetamines
Fanatical President
Irrational decision
A button pressed
Hell Unleashed
In the 1960’s the world was on the brink of nuclear war. John F Kennedy was the man with the finger on the button. Very few people knew that President Kennedy was taking methamphetamines. Thankfully the Russian leader Chairman Khrushchev had the sense to back down at the 11th hour. If Russia had not backed down, no doubt the drugged President Kennedy would have unleashed a nuclear Armageddon upon the world.
US Marine Corps Grumman EA-6B Prowler BuAerNo. 163527 starts engines to depart from Charleston International Airport, South Carolina
That 'Nuclear trefoil' marking on her nose is a legacy from when both the lighter two-seater A-6 Intruders and these heavier four-man EA-6B Prowlers operated from Carriers. With a similar nose profile between the two it was used to confirm the latter type's identity when 'dialing up' the correct weights for both the Catapult and arrestor gear by the Deck Crews
Departing from the General Aviation ramp as the sun slipped away she must be one of the last Prowlers still active and being devoid of any markings save a stylised Eagle's Head along her side she may well be heading to the Bone Yard in the near future
