Another nice audio *collage* by Virtual Renderings. Explores the wild promises made by proponents of civilian nuclear projects--and the very scary reality behind the propaganda--from 1950 through the meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979. Sound sources include old propaganda films, news reports, interviews from documentary films, and some music--all very nicely woven together.
