Nuclear Physicist Reacts to Kyle Hill I Got Access to Chernobyl’s Deadliest Area 

hey kyle, i just wanted to say thank you for your videos, you're amazing

I always suggest your nuclear videos to everyone that would be interested

Thanks for the comment Kyle! You did a really great job. It's awesome to have people like you out in the world educating the public, especially about a location that is important but not properly represented. Keep up the great work! 👩🏽‍🔬☢

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist I just discovered both of your channels recently. It is awesome how RU-vidrs like this respect each other and actually review each other and sometimes collaborate. Even when they don't agree (LTT and Louis Rossman for example), they agree to meet, discuss, resolve, learn and end up friends that have let the science decide who is correct, incorrect or (more importantly) come up with more questions to answer. This is how people should act. Mainstream media, take notes, this is why your biased, greedy selves are losing ratings. Same thing goes for people as individuals. As I type this I am reviewing my behaviors and interactions with people.... Sorry for the therapy session I just gave myself...

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love this exchange so much. Y'all are both great, but you've each got your specialties, and when they overlap its great that you can appreciate the differences of opinion or depth of understanding. 🥂 Cheers, Στην υγειά σας(?), to you both!

Agreed! Kyle’s Demon Core video is the best I have seen on the subject

Are you like me and spent years learning Russian thinking you could use it when you got to Ukraine? 😅

@@jefforymitchell5697 Hey at least that'll open up a few job opportunities

It is very well known. Radiation damage to very sensitive low light astronomical cameras over time is a real problem, even in normal background radiation environments. A cosmic ray nails your camera, and now you have permanent dead pixels or hot pixels.

I would love to visit, but probably, I won't . Love the reaction ❤🤙

Are you here now?

I loved the video Elina.

@Elina Charatsidou Could you talk about the subject of LFTReactors? I've spent many hours on the subject but it would be fun to hear an unbiased but still knowledgable opinion on the subject. For me it seems like the future we missed 60 years ago and really should develop. Similar to how batteries were 10-20 years ago.

The folks who were allowed to only work for seconds or a minute were the "liquidators' who were doing the really crazy stuff such as shoveling the moderator graphic blocks and other radioactive debree from the roof of what was left of the raactor building back into the crater where the reactor core used to be. The folks were using what looks like military NBC protective gear with medical X-ray protective wear plus improvsed extra protection. Human liquidators were being used because available technology did fail due to the massive radiation. Eventually the some machinery to assist the cleanup efforts based on the Soviet Union's Lunokhod lunar exploration robots was being devised by the Lunokhod developers which were recalled from retirement. That worked because the Lunokhod was designed to work in presence of the cosmic radiation on the moon's surface. The construction workers for the sarcophagus were permitted to work well longer than the liquidators. All sorts of improvised radiation shielding was being used for example massive steel plates welded to the cabin of construction machines to make this safer. Yes, the camera sensors indeed do glitch due to gamma radiation. It's a known problem with image sensors in space. Th problem is quire pronounced on some older space imagery or of the elephant foot.

Thank you for noticing and for your kind words 👩🏽‍🔬☢️

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist as most credible people do. Top job! earned a sub

Glad you enjoyed it! Would love to do a collab in the future 👩🏽‍🔬☢️

I don’t understand the perspective that a disaster that happened almost 40 years ago, that 4,000 people are still managing to this day, that there is no permanent solution for in sight for could lead to the conclusion that nuclear energy is a lot safer than people think it is?

@@judelarkin2883 The design for the RBMK was flawed. There is no comparison of that, to the next gen reactors of today.

@@randyhavener1851 There was also a lot of incompetence involved on many levels. From the planning, construction, up to the operation of the plant.

@@randyhavener1851 Your logic is flawed too.

@@BTW... please explain what you mean? Why is my logic flawed?

for now there is the chernobyl vodka only

Glad you enjoyed it!👩🏽‍🔬☢️

Thank you ☢️👩🏽‍🔬

Thanks for the suggestion! Will look into it!☢️👩🏽‍🔬

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if there are more videos of his you’d like me to react to ☢️👩🏽‍🔬

They didn't mention it because it is absurd. The volume of that enclosure is enormous. What do you think would suddenly generate such a huge volume of gas?

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it👩🏽‍🔬☢️

What is fascinating about the three mile island incident is that there was a study done that estimated approximately 0.5 additional cancer cases due to the radiation. Not 0.5% additional cases but literally 1 or fewer expected cases.

When you are close to something that indeed has a risk, be it as small as bad nuclear accident in today's NPPs, safety and personal protection measures should indeed be taught to local populations.. One for NPP specifically is very simple: Stay inside, and airtight everything until further information or evacuation. Funny enough, i don't think communities downstream of dams have any idea how to deal with a collapse.... And remember, the deadliest energy related disaster was a dam collapsing.. 250000 people died.

Well, we managed to kill some of it.

@@stargazer7644 Nothing compared to the death and destruction renewables will do to the worlds environment.

The visibility of those sparkles also depends on the type of radiation. Alpha radiation (helium nuclei) won't make it through the lenses or the camera body since it is easily stopped by a sheet of paper. Beta radiation (electrons and positrons) are easily stopped by a thin sheet of metal, but I'm not sure how well glass and plastic stop beta rays. Gamma radiation, being photons, are able to travel further into materials. If your radiation source was an alpha emitter then the phone's will have stopped the radiation from hitting the sensor. Beta radiation has a better chance of making it to the sensor, and gamma radiation will definitely hit the sensor.

Thank you so much and best of luck. ☢️👩🏽‍🔬

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist I'd like to get in touch, maybe chat some time! I'll drop you a line via the form on your website. You do great work :-)

I studied color theory as graphic designer that green color is supposed to have calming effect on the human mind not surprising that it was utilized is an environment that would be such a stressful place to be working
