| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - Edward Bernays - Public relations PR industry historian Scott Cutlip describes Bernays as "perhaps public relations' most fabulous and fascinating individual, a man who was bright, articulate to excess, and most of all, an innovative thinker and philosopher of this vocation that was in its infancy when he opened his office in New York in June 1919." Much of Bernays's reputation today stems from his persistent public relations campaign to build his own reputation as "America's No. 1 Publicist." During his active years, many of his peers in the industry were offended by Bernay ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - The Power of Nightmares - Documentary The documentary consisted of three parts.
The Power of Nightmares - Part 1 – Baby It's Cold Outside.
In the 1950s Sayyid Qutb, an Egyptian civil servant turned revolutionary, and Leo Strauss, an American professor of political philosophy, both came to see western liberalism as corrosive to morality and to society. Qutb had been sent to the U.S. to learn about its public education system but was disgusted by what he saw of its society. They each argued that radical measures, including deception and (in Qu ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear meltdown - Sequence of events What happens when a reactor core melts is the subject of conjecture and some actual experience (see below).
Before the core of a nuclear reactor can melt, a number of events/failures must already have happened. Once the core melts, it will almost certainly destroy the fuel bundles and internal structures of the reactor vessel (although it may not penetrate the reactor vessel). [Note that the core at Three Mile Island did melt nearly completely but stayed within the reactor vessel.] If the melt drops into a pool of water (for example, ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - The Power of Nightmares - Distribution The Power of Nightmares was first broadcast on BBC Two in three hour-long parts on consecutive Wednesday evenings in the autumn of 2004. The series was rebroadcast in late January 2005 on three consecutive nights, with the final part updated to reflect the Law Lords ruling from the previous December that detaining foreign terrorist suspects without trial is illegal.
Although the series has not been shown on U.S. television, its three episodes were shown in succession on 26 February 2005 as part of the True/False Film Festival i ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear meltdown - Effects The effects of a nuclear meltdown depend on the safety features designed into a reactor. A modern reactor is designed both to make a meltdown exceedingly unlikely, and to contain one should it occur.
In a modern reactor, a nuclear meltdown, whether partial or total, will be contained inside the reactor's containment structure. Thus (in the unlikely event that no other disasters occur) while the meltdown will severely damage the reactor itself, possibly contaminating the whole structure with highly-radioactive material, a meltdown alone will generally not lead to significant radiation release or danger to the public. The effects ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear meltdown - Causes In pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors, RBMKs, and breeder reactors, the core can melt as a result of a loss of coolant accident (in which all emergency core cooling systems have failed). A similar circumstance is created should the steam generator secondary dry-out together with emergency system failure. A rapid loss of water from the reactor system naturally stops the chain reaction. Borated water is injected by the emergency systems and thus in the large-break accidents, control rod insertion is not needed to stop the fissi ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear meltdown - Reactor design Although pressurized water reactors are more susceptible to nuclear meltdown in the absence of active safety measures, this is not a universal feature of civilian nuclear reactors. Much of the research in civilian nuclear reactors is for designs with passive safety features that would be much less susceptible to meltdown, even if all emergency systems failed. For example, pebble bed reactors are designed so that complete loss of coolant for an indefinite period does not result in the reactor overheating. The General Electric ESBWR and Westingho ...

| | | | Adam Curtis: Encyclopedia II - Nuclear meltdown - Meltdowns A number of Russian nuclear submarines have experienced nuclear meltdowns. The only known large scale nuclear meltdowns at civilian nuclear power plants were in the Chernobyl accident at Chernobyl, Ukraine, in 1986, and Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania, USA, in 1979 although there have been several partial core meltdowns, including accidents at:
NRX, Ontario, Canada, in 1952
EBR-I, Idaho, USA, in 1955
Windscale, Sellafield, England, in 1957
Santa Susana Field Laboratory, Simi Hills, California, in 1959
