That place is still super dangerous. I’ve been watching the Chernobyl accident Documentary. Imagine being there in 86. Breathing 400 times that of Hiroshima. I can’t believe that they dropped boron on and over the destructive material. Which made it cave in and was worse.
Technically, 5 and 6 aren't even reactors, but unfinished buildings. The only dangers are the poor state of the buildings, the unfinished structure and the many holes you can fall into.
how this guy just get to the reactor so easy, shiey the illegal freedom guy have to walk like 40km to get to pripyat and even just barely close to reactor. i wanna go alone and have plan 3 night 2 day to get in and get out. can somebody help me for the route path
Chernobyl experts: "Never touch a dog, or any animal inside Chernobyl as it could be contaminated with radiation" This guy: *proceeds to pet dog like he's at a friend's house*
Chernobyl experts also set up the exclusion zone and rightly advice no one to go there, for the next several thousand years, since it's fucking radioactive. That's also exactly why people go there: they aren't supposed to.
@@spotlightartist1282how is it delusional ? ur not one of them delusional anti nuclear eco terrorists are you ? well seeing as reactors 1, 2, 3 all continued to run long after the accident, last one up until 2001 they could have just continued the building after the contamination and rads had dropped. that's why they put the metal up to try and keep radiation out in hope they would be able to continue construction later.
@@MrEddieG420 probably just a joke from HBO's Chernobyl when he dyatlov says they are delusional for saying the reactor exploded If it isnt a joke then your probably right about him /her being scared of reactors
EddieG I can see your point and I’m all for nuclear power being used it’s just it can be quite terrifying to me sometimes and I do hope that they can make nuclear power more accessible but only if it is done in the right way
yea but I still think it makes more sense to say reactor no. 5 than unfinished reactor no.5 or building 5. Either way, it was supposed to be a reactor. It's already stated that it's unfinished, y'know
A little disclaimer: cooling towers are not used to cool reactors. They are used to cool water condenser that turn steam that spins turbine into water that cools reactor.
@@ajackass5950 water in a reactor flows in a loop. Reactor turns it into steam, it goes to a turbine and from turbine it goes to a condenser. From the condenser it comes back to the reactor and the cycle repeats. The condenser also needs to be cooled and that's what the towers are used for.
@@misakapetanovic5356 When I was in Chernobyl, I saw some cute kittens. I pet them and they were very friendly, the video is on my channel. Maybe I'll see you there?
My thoughts exactly, I used to work in a power station, & carried dose meters ( victoreen) & always had dose badges on along with over shoes, rubber gloves, coveralls, taped at the wrists & ankles to keep dust out
the first rule of a irradiated zone " DO NOT TOUCH THE FREAKING WILDLIFE because they cross the hotspots of radiation " dude sees a dog and proceed to pet the dog: "i dont have any food" his brand new sixth finger on his hand: "me neither"
He did at 8:08. Hilarious that was. What's behind using a 'F' in place of the 'Th' sound? Dude said "Free times" instead of "Three times". Is that an example of infantilism? Where one still speaks like a baby even as an adult?
@@mt_gox masks aren’t supposed to be bullet proof for the virus, they’re supposed to reduce distance/ number of droplets/ particles in the air that you’re producing (used along with social distancing to be more effective since the mask is now reducing the distance of particles coming out of your respiratory tract from feet to a few inches away from your own face).
You're not even supposed to enter buildings, army/police walk around to make sure you don't, it so quiet there you can hear if someone is in a building, so yes they snook in
I'm sure that in most cases all those explorer guys have all the permits they need. If they get "caught" be guards, thats also all fake. I think a guard for a really boring, abandoned industrial building wouldn't say no to some action and fun. Think about it, they are about to post detailed proof to RU-vid, sometimes as a business they depend on, at least to finance the exploration hobby. Would they really risk it over such dumb shit? Don't think so. It's just more exciting for the audience this way.
@@VintageTechFan not in Chernobyl were you have to go through a radiation sensor before you can leave and if it goes off above normal you have to take a chemical shower and try again until you go through clean... also the sight has armed security upfront and you are only allowed in if authorized or with an authorized guide who knows the rules in place and the places that are deemed safe to go by those in charge of the area... also you are not supposed to touch ANYTHING and you are not supposed to dig into the ground (is the first things they tell you)
The incomplete reactor and cooling tower is so poignant, reminds you how much time, money and effort was put in the entire project and there were so many dreams and livelihoods resting on it. The fallen cranes and overgrowth, rusting reactor just shows that give it a few decades without human intervention and nature will take over. I absolutely love these series!
@@jamiekavanagh8841 Wow, so dangerous. Reactors 5 & 6 are build off a ways from reactors 1, 2, 3 & 4. And even if you were standing in front of exploded reactor 4 right now it gives you only about 1 µS/hr. You get about that much radiation flying in an airplane (being closer to the sun). Yes, he got more radiation on your plane ride to Chernobyl than in Chernobyl. You receive as much radiation as eating 35 bananas for each hour spent in front of reactor 4.
You can actually stay in the Zone for quite a long time...that reactor he's in was never used....you guys are acting like he's in reactor 4...but I have sneaking suspicion you all played Fallout the game. The whole area has become a wild life refuge animals that had disappear when humans moved in have now come back...wolves, bears there’s a large feral cat population that seems to be thriving
Hate to burst your bubble, but walking around the area for hours probably doesn’t expose you to much more radiation than you’d normally be exposed to in daily life. Heck, the facility supposedly has several hundred employees who monitor stuff, as far as I know, on a daily basis. If I am incorrect, feel free to correct me. :p
When you say "The Reactor" at Chernobyl, it usually means reactor number four. You went into the fifth, unfinished reactor. Which is still cool, but kind of click-bait.
When I went the other week, we were at the canteen near the power plant. One of the dogs approached a guy on our tour and his Geiger counter’s alarm went off 😅 Didn’t stop half of the group from touching them though!
@@Thecyclingexplorer so reactor nr 5 was never finished? Why would they build one more when the whole area was contaminated? When did all the powerplant stop producing power and where do Russia get their power from now when Tjernobyl is no more?
@@knutendreringhagen289 Knut Endre Ringhagen Reactor 2 was shutdown in 1991, reactor 1 in 1996 and finally reactor 3 (which is pretty much in the same building s reactor 4) in 2000. Then all of them on cooldown until 2015 and are now being decomissioned. Russia still gets power from about 36 reactors comprised of RBMK's and BN's but also more modern VVER's.
CoopGaming true but I seen a lot of shows on haw radiation is very harm fuel the part the he is in my not be danger but is he got closer to reacter 4 he would be in a lot of danger
gamer 37 clan gamer you clearly haven’t seen many shows then. You can stand right outside the building that houses reactor 4, like 50 meters an you are perfectly fine
@@Thecyclingexplorer The point is, dude, you're encouraging others.....inadvertently perhaps......, to do the same things you're doing. You know there is going to be someone watching this who would try it without a second's hesitation because you're making it seem like you're just exploring a haunted house. There is so much danger there, there is a reason no one lives in that area anymore. It's not a joke, it's not a tourist attraction, it's literally a death zone. And every minute you spend there, you're exposing yourself to something that could really harm you down the line. If you don't care about your own health, consider the viewers who help keep your channel going. If you're going to be an "influencer", be a responsible one who sets a safe example.
And guys ! Look guys, right guys, here we are at reactor 5 guys and one thing about reactor 5 is just how amazing it is. I mean seriously guys when were walking towards reactor number 5 I said to my mate I can't believe we're going to see inside reactor 5. Right guys here we are in reactor 5 and look there's a dog, how did you get into reactor number 5 hey, probably the same way we got into reactor number 5, anyway guys just look at that view guys, such an amazing view from the top of reactor number 5
@@dimitrispasvantis4143 Apart from one guy where they never found his body, he was standing in one of the rooms that got completely turned to rubble. Valery Khodemchuk RIP
Ooh. Here’s something that wasn’t finished being built, has been standing for 34+ years, is not structurally sound and in severe disrepair and could potentially collapse and kill us. Let’s go inside!
I was reading the numbers & stats earlier but the rate of cancer it caused in Ukraine Belarus etc was not extortionate although it did cause a lot but wasn’t massive and that was at the time , this is 30 odd years on he won’t get cancer lool
I mean ... smoking and panting all around Reactor 5 in Chernobyl ... without, at least, a dustmask. I'm just wandering about how much radioactive dust do you guys had just breathe ... good luck for the future! 👍🏻
Hmmmm, big thonk, big think, the 3 that stop a steam explosion torches died, hmmm, your torch died, coincidence, they had protecting, you didnt, yeah hes gunna die in the next few months, lol.
3 guys actually done that in November 2019 it's on you tube they even climbed the Russian radar near the town of pripyat that was built to detect American missiles and nearly got caught by the Russian military.
@@sttm1283 how did they manage to do it all without getting caught, up until the sattelite is all out of bounds unless you are with a tour guide, they swam through radioactive water and walked through miles of affected vegetation.
@@george-yz5fo not sure. in my imagination i think the ukraines would guard this place and its perimeters heavily, but i guess we are wrong. my knowledge about the guided tours are very small, so i guess going as a stalker would get you too see/visit more than you can as a tourist on a guided tour. but again. i have no clue what you can and cannot do on the tours. i myself is really faschinated by chernobyl and russia in general and would like to go there as well.
Journalists: "The entire area is going to be uninhabitable for tens of thousands of years." Some dude and a cell phone: "Yo, I took a selfie at reactor 5."
it's been almost 30 years, most of the areas other than inside reactor 4 are honestly really safe, some places have less radiation than what you would find on an airliner
@@xout1990 no, there are still some hot spots of radiation in Chernobyl, yes, however most of the radioactive soil has been buried, even standing in the reactor 4 control room will hive you the same amount of radiation as your every day jetliner. get some education.
@@felito21 When I was in Chernobyl, I saw some cute kittens. I pet them and they were very friendly, the video is on my channel. Maybe I'll see you there?
@@NoAwoo When I was in Chernobyl, I saw some cute kittens. I pet them and they were very friendly, the video is on my channel. Maybe I'll see you there?
as much as some folk wanna see this and yes it is interesting to an extent, just remember the tragic circumstances around what happened there :(. the lack of knowledge from this guy is quite an insult to be honest and rather tactless
It's still so mental to think this was only around 34 years ago... Just shows anything can happen and become a part of history. Would love to visit Chernobyl x
The area around the reactor was properly cleaned over the decades and the radiation levels are surprising low nowadays (about twice the daily dose), that's not considered lethal by any means since you won't stay there for weeks or months. The 2 flights he had to take exposed him to more radiation than the days he stayed in the tourism area inside Chernobyl 😉
I was on a school hiking trip to wales when the whole incident happened and there was a real worry that there would be radiation in the rain carried over from Russia. Scary times.
People worry all the time about things that can't happen or won't ever affect them. Stress can cause real health damage. I would advise people to be pragmatic and not worry about meaningless things. Unfortunately if everyone around you is panicking it will be hard time for you as well...
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge For someone in Wales it was absolutely meaningless. This beside the point that it obviously had an impact on the population in the power plant's vicinity.
You can easily detect radioactive particles from any radioactive release, worldwide. Even when there's just one particle per cubic meter, which is absolutely not a "valid concern", in terms of impact it's as if it literally wasn't there at all. But we're very good at detecting trace amounts of radioisotopes thanks to gamma spectroscopy and low-background measurement chambers.
It's the new Disneyland . Come ride the rusty rides , come slide the slimy slides , come feed floppy the six snouted snork . Next holiday , book it where you can cook it . I's all about the marketing .
