@@isacchris1 did you know chernobyl is much more toxic then a atomic bomb? its still getting more toxic

@@DingDangg Bloody depressing eh... Sticking head in sand is more comfortable than facing what happened here :(

@@isacchris1 Yes, have has people saying ''just one person died''....

XD

Thts probably an even easier task now that the new shelter is in place. Simply slide another Layer on top. Eventually there will be a way found to neutralize the radiation.

@@ourawkfist 🙏

that's the basis of every military

They can't stop workers from being exposed now. The whole area is radiated.

Patrick LastName yeah but too many people with too many differences means nobody even listens to each other so it would be very hard for countries to get rid of nukes and resign their miltaries

Satan the devil aint going to let that happeen

If there’s global cooperation by now we would already have a so-called beginning of a Federation-like existence (Star Trek), where money and power no longer drives our lives... where all mankind live together in prosperity and peace... to better ourselves for the right reasons... to make better lives... to explore beyond our world, to explore new worlds, to seek out new lifeforms, to boldly go where no man has gone before...

Not possible unfortunately.

Well, think of Putin and the Chinese and ask yourself if you want to live under those regimes or under the freedom you currently have which is secured by the Military of the US Taxpayer. hmmmmmmmmmm... Trump is right, pay your NATO bills and then we can talk.

Your pancreas I think absorbs iodine and when radioactive fallout is coming down you don’t want your pancreas to absorb any of the radioactive stuff so you take in over amounts to make sure it is full while the radioactive fallout is hot. Could have helped tremendously is you being here now.

@@michaelszczys8316 Thyroid, not pancreas.

@@SzwarcuKX5 okay, one of those glands. Whichever absorbs iodine you make sure it is chock full before any radioactive iodine comes around if some is on the way from nuclear fallout so it doesn't take in any of the radioactive kind. Chernobyl was not fallout like ash from a bomb but more like just smoke so I don't really know how similar it worked.

Are you sure about that? In the last episode, it says that this structure is expected to last for only 100 years. Most probably it will still be a pretty radioactive place.

@@giulanoemrani1445 for centuries to come,

I had my best man recheck the rating with the meter that goes to 10... It maxed out.

LOOOL

You DIDN'T SEE THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE!

@Luca Viner that man is delusional.

I am pretty sure the working team there didnt do that for youtube viewes or likes,how do you think:)?

Now at 503,845 views, not great, not terrible.

It’ll be amazing if it actually last longer than a few decades. This problem will persist for centuries so it would be wise to ensure that the sarcophagus, especially at the cost, can stand the test of time.

@@vassilizaitsev924 To Vassilli Zaitsev, I heard you were a good Russian sniper during WW2 with over 250 German kills to your credit! They even made a movie about you called "Enemy at the Gate"!

@@vassilizaitsev924 i mean views = exposure and this sure deserves exposure

Oh shit. India has a lot of Nuclear Plants

Chris McKinney did you actually went over there?

Pawan Shrivastava Yes, I went there on 9th April 17. I’m hoping to go back this year if I can arrange a trip.

Apparently Russia, the biggest culprit in this disaster is not even one of the 5 biggest donors. According to the information at the end of the video.

Pity we can't say the same about fukashima .

The fact that this effort had to be made and that it is only the first step in protecting the world for the next 250,000 years from death and destruction is an indictment on nuclear energy

You can see it at 14.08 (top right corner)

It is just me or someone else see nothing at 14:08?

You can see radiation in the entire video

there was a live web cam feed awhile ago showing remote cranes dismantling the bits inside...

@@JulesD92 They are not going to be dismantling the reactor, too much radiation to make it a safe bet. They are talking about dismantling the old sarcophagus, which is the structure around the reactor. 😒

But they are planning to remove the old reactor fuel.

and are still dying because of this "accident."

Jack Fanning the accident was inevitable, was just a matter of time

@@calvin5541 It is inevitable that accidents will happen and massive health and economic consequences will occur if we use nuclear energy.

Jack Fanning coal kills more people every day than nuclear has killed ever. Chernobyl only killed 100 ish people. Get over it

@@joshdoeseverything4575 You don't know how many people radiation kills because of the latency period. Isn't that convenient for the power companies that are ripping us off and destroying the atmosphere.

Over used comment that we see on every home page video

It's ALWAYS time to watch this! Over and over again, because we have to remember what happened.

Shit... I get nightmares just seeing it on film. Absolutely haunting place. Even with no rads, I'd stay away. It's like visiting an old battle field from like ww1. You just get shivers in your bones

My brain can't even comprehend that it's only been 34 years... when I first learned about it it seemed like it happened way long ago. Crazy.

Indeed, well said

I noticed that too. You can really tell on the older films.

@@tamfuwing1 ok mr white knight

All reactors are critical during operation, that's how they produce energy. You meant supercritical. And yes, it did. That's what generated the heat that created the steam explosion.

Same here. It took me about two days to try and get an IKEA desk set up and even then it's shaky. Some of the screws are clearly in the wrong places but to dismantle the thing and start all over again is too much to bear.

Don't forget the technical challenge, it's harder than just sending a robot in there. It's probably still extremely hot. The radiation-emitting from the fuel causes all sorts of issues to electronic systems. In that short video of some of the melted fuel, you saw a lot of burst of static, that's due to gamma radiation hitting the photo-optic sensor overloading those pixels (Light is a form of radiation, and that gamma radiation is just really hot) which the computer registers as white. Even if you get an old film camera a lot of types of radiation has penetrating power. Same reason why you don't take film through an x-ray machine at an airport just scaled way up. Not to mention controlling any robot, they have sent them in before but the radiation can cause electrical surges in the wiring messing up data sent remotely through wire or wireless and on the circuit board itself. It's pretty difficult designing a board where random electrical pulses can happen anywhere on the board. You'll have to try and shield it from radiation and that means adding layers of Lead which makes the robot a lot heavier so designing something that can carry enough protection and move around is a super difficult challenge. Those white suits are only good for indirect exposure and keeping particles of radioactive dust off you. If the Geiger counter starts going off you need to run.

The black mess at the center of any shot of the ruins *IS* the reactor, unless you mean you want to dig through the radioactive rhubarb crumble. There are a few videos from within the sarcophagus and reactor, where do you think the "elephant's foot" is located? It's in the control rod assembly room directly below the reactor on one of the two formerly-flooded basement levels that divers had to un-fuck a few days after the accident.

Rob Fraser I’m talking about the top of the reactor and the lid.

kickassnetwork Do you know how it would compare to the elephant’s foot? It seems like they’ve been able to take pictures of that.

@@kickassnetwork Turns out somebody already did. I don't know how they could have survived. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NkwEfbIBnDU.html

They are building floating ones all over the world rn

It will stay, it would be stupid trying to build something that last longer than 100 years with how fast technology is changing right now. I mean compare this massive thing with a structure from 100 years ago.

I would say in 100 years the materials used to re-contain will be far more efficient and superior and then it will be a 1000yr facility.. In the end, keeping this stuff above ground and not burying it so water can be contaminated is the way to go, Perhaps they could disassemble and move into an underground salt mine.. They cant even burn the forests because the ASH is contaminated when the trees burn.

@@ourawkfist it's called lead.

makes a change not to fight but to fix a problem

The reactors were shut down from 1986 to 1988, you couldn't operate reactors 1 through 3 right next door to an ongoing radioactive fire while the site was strewn with lumps of radioactive space cake. They had to clean the site up before they could restart the other 3 reactors and it took 2 years.

Fukushima is well under controll, there is nothing that alarming about it.

@@ratreptile Oh yeah? I hope that was a sarcastic comment. Otherwise... What have they done. How is it fixed now? Any (robot) they send there just burns.

@@now_im_here3661 Lots of the ocean life has died off, and it is NOT safe to eat anything from the Pacific. So whoever thinks that Fukushima is contained is either delusional or a moron or both. So I concur with you 100%! Just the reports on rense.com is more than terrifying.

@@ratreptile You are wrong, plain and simple!

There's a lot of ignorance in this comment thread, Fukushima isn't even on the same scale as what happened at Chernobyl. Do you guys get a kick out of being outraged and making something sound worse than it is so that you can be even more outraged about it?

It shows how excellent a tv series is! It not only entertains like heck, but makes one genuinely curious about the subject of the show. We're here because we want more!
