Terres nucléaires, une histoire du plutonium
From the Hanford site in the United States—where Manhattan Project scientists worked in 1943—to the plutonium reprocessing plant at La Hague in France, and finally to Rokkasho in northern Japan (a nuclear site built atop seismic fault lines), the film traces the origins and uses of plutonium. It examines the transition from military to civil nuclear power, revealing the associated scientific, industrial, and geopolitical stakes.
