Résumé:
''This is Toronto 50 years ago, 52 years had passed since 1918, the end of the first World War and 1970 the first year of these pictures. And since the last of the photos were made in 1972, another 50 years have passed. The appearance of people has changed little, smoking is not as common, there were no computers. The cars and phones are greater visual cues. But it is a very different world we live in today.'' - TB Tony Bock is a British-born photographer who emigrated to Canada with his parents in 1952. His photographs provide a glimpse into the changing social and cultural fabric of Toronto during a time of significant transformation. Bock worked as photographer for the Toronto Star for over 30 years.

Résumé:
Sellafield, Europe's largest nuclear site, began being decommissioned in 2022. Its primary purpose was to produce weapons-grade plutonium for the UK's nuclear weapons programme, but they also generated electrical power for the National Grid from 1956-2003 and reprocessed nuclear fuel from 1952 to 2022. In 1985, Barry Lewis photographed part of the plant for The Sunday Times Magazine after reports found an increased incidence of leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children and young adults under 25 years of age living in Seascale, a village near Sellafield on the west coast of Cumbria. A government report suggested that these spikes were unlikely to have been caused by radiation exposure though the causes of these clusters of leukaemia around Sellafield was still not clear. 100Kg of plutonium had been pumped out of Sellafield into the Irish sea during the previous 40 years and 60Kg was unaccounted for. Any plutonium dust that is washed inshore, and when the tide goes out, could dry and blow inland. A single speck of plutonium inhaled is enough to trigger cancer. Sellafield is now a sprawling rubbish dump on the Cumbrian coast, with the world's largest store of plutonium that stores and treats decades of nuclear waste from atomic power generation and weapons programmes.The buildings are expected to be finally torn down by 2125 at a cost of approaching £100 billion and have its nuclear waste buried deep underground at a location still undecided.
