Windscale Britain's Biggest Nuclear Disaster: Windscale: Britain�s Biggest Nuclear Disaster is a 2007 BBC documentary which investigates the history of the first British nuclear facility and its role in the development of nuclear weapons. The documentary features interviews with key scientists and plant operators, such as Tom Tuohy, who was the deputy general manager of Windscale. The documentary suggests that the Windscale fire of 1957 - the first fire in any nuclear facility - was caused by the relaxation of safety measures, as a result of pressure from the British government to quickly produce bomb-making material.
