Nice... I can't believe people living so close to the plant???

Why not?  There is no radiation from such a plant.

amazing video...

Awesome, that's been on my visit list for a while -- is it easy to access?

Neat, looks like it was abandoned during construction.

Nice work, great edits!

Very cool, great shots and nice edits

Yep, according to Wikipedia:

Hartsville Nuclear Plant

Nice, video, BTW.

It was abandoned during construction, never actually put into use.

Good...Happy for the people but sad for the rest of us... and we wonder where our tax money keeps disappearing to...

People better start grasping the idea of Nuke energy as it is the only way forward.  New plants all use passive emergency provisions now for any failure.

Efficiency is way up too.

Without getting into detail, these are not Fukashima's.

Great video! Good choice of music with it. Thanks for the share.

You have a radiactive Mavic.

You get more radiation if you live close to a coal plant.

Love those shots!

I hear you...Radioactive here, Coal there, chemical in between and antibiotic everywhere...

wow great video really cinematic

Cool! Love the shots, flying and transitions. I probably would've chosen a more gloomy soundtrack for such a dilapidated site, but yours is dramatic and powerful. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, great shots and great edit. The music suits it very well, and indeed a few interesting things to see. It's nice to see the reactor vessel under construction and the shots over the cooling tower are great! Nice choice of music too!

I don't want to start a side debate about the pros/cons of nuclear electricity, but I just have to said I would be much more concerned living close to a coal power plant (and you might have one close to you) than living close to a nuclear.

Facts:
-Coal burning subproducts are radioactive too and you breathe them.
-Background radiation in the surroundings of a nuclear plant are lower than on the surroundings of a coal plant.
-Cancer (specially lung cancer) happens more often on people living close to a coal power plant.
-No relation has been found between cancer and living close to a nuclear power plant.
-If a nuclear power plant blows up, it doesn't really matter if you're close or not.


By the way, the one on the video was never completely built, so... no radiation there (other than the natural background radiation)

Great video!

Awesome ---- Amazing how much money was wasted because it was never completed which is a +Plus+ for the surrounding people an inhabitants
         Parts of your Vid looked like from the Xmen movie --- Good Work
