Kraftwerk's 1975 album Radio-Activity celebrates 50 years with a brand-new Dolby Atmos mix created by Kraftwerk founder Ralf Hütter and engineer Fritz Hilpert from the original 16-track master tapes at their Kling Klang Studio. The Blu-Ray Audio disc also contains a 5.1 surround mix (rendered from the Dolby Atmos mix) and a Stereo mix of the band's 2009 remaster. Kraftwerk is unique, pristine, profound and beautiful, all at once. Decades may pass, but their streamlined synthetic symphonies stand outside time, as fresh as tomorrow, transcendent and sublime. Originally released in 1975, Kraftwerk's ethereal tribute to broadcast communications was the centerpiece in-between Autobahn and Trans Europe Express, a trilogy of masterworks that found the band at their artistic pinnacle. The sweeping synth melodies are in full futuristic force here and Radio-Activity is a pivotal and mesmerizing album in every way.

The film is about the discovery in 1962 by V. A. Karnaukhov, G. M. Ter-Akopyan, V. G. Subbotin, and L. A. Petrov of proton radioactivity. The detection of a new type of radioactive decay of atomic nuclei – proton emission – significantly expanded our understanding of the properties of nuclei and the limits of their possible existence in nature. A fundamentally important fact is that the theoretical analysis of proton radioactivity confirmed the validity of the models widely used in traditional nuclear physics and the possibility of describing new previously unknown phenomena based on them.

TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is the site of one of history's worst nuclear disasters: the meltdown of three nuclear reactors. The decommissioning program in Japan learns from the Three Mile Island decommissioning in the US after the nuclear plant accident in 1976 in Pennsylvania.
