Nuclear waste is transported in the UK by train in specially constructed containers. They have been tested “to destrution” and this is one of the tests (and a bit of a publicity stunt). A wagon with one of these was placed on a test track and a unmanned train run into it at speed.
Jesus, that was depressing. How many people did we just watch die?
