I watch it with fellow visitors two German TV crews. The video hits a tone of sensible downtoearth pragmatism. Dont get separated from the group. In an emergency follow your guides instructions. Its an active construction site so watch out for vehicles and machines. If theres a fire follow your guide to the nearest shelter calmly walking into a fireproof pod with its own oxygen supply.
Once inside their guide hands everybody a bottle of water. It all looks very organised. Have you ever been in an emergency down there I ask one of our guides Johanna Hansen research and development coordinator at Posiva. Only one Mobile App Development Service but it was a false alarm she replies with a smile. I feel a moment of dread Im standing at a spot where starting from no human should set foot for years Next were asked to don our safety gear a bright yellow highvisibility jacket waterproof boots a helmet with a visor and a belt with a torch.
Were each handed a small pack containing an escape hood that will protect us from firerelated gases for minutes. Im relieved to hear that the helmets have a tracking device so people in the control room above the ground will always know where I am in the tunnels. With that reassuring thought I walk through the turnstile at a security gate under the blazing midday sun and get into a car.
