Boron and sand: Boron is a semi-metallic material that neutrons/radiation finds it difficult to get through, so it's sometimes used in nuclear shielding; if you had something large and radioactive exposed in the open, one way you could try to contain it would be to dump a bunch of boron and sand on it, however this wouldn't work if the radioactive thing is an active reaction that's worsening - this would be like putting a road flare in an insulated container, it will just get hotter.
The pile of clothes you see the nurses adding to at the start of this episode is still there to this very day, in the now long-abandoned hospital in the Exclusion Zone.
Mate, Boron is a nonmetal. Not a metalloid
They sealed it off . Because too many tourists were going down there and standing next rabaibed clothing
The professor has a line which was something to the effect of "Please allow me to express my concerns as respectfully and calmly as I can." I was really hoping that he would've taken a couple of seconds and then just starting shouting "WE ARE F**KED! WE ARE ALL F**KED!" Then taken another couple of seconds and said "That's as calmly as I can put it."
Radiation causes the breakdown of DNA, which is the template for all protein, which is needed for every cell/tissue in a body as well as the enzymes and hormones which regulate all processes in a body.
We are all exposed to small amounts of background radiation all of the time, which is a major cause of death through old age. But too much radiation exposure leads to a dramatic loss in a bodies ability to function, too much radiation can lead to the all functions of the body ceasing, in extreme examples within days.
Radiation or radioactive decay is the name given to sub atomic particles or energy which can escape from certain unstable or radioactive atoms. A piece of radioactive material may contain many trillions of radioactive atoms which may take 100's of years to _decay_ , this is known as the materials half life.
its not really radiation...its aerobic respiration which can produce some cellular damage over time.
@@cobrazaxIt took me a little while to understand what you were getting at, I think you're correcting me on the ageing process.
Hmm, okay if that's the case thanks, I thought it was just low level radiation, but I guess I could have been wrong on that!
It would be ironic that one of the very processes we need to be alive is also the one that kills us, then that isn't the only irony in life I guess.
@@carlhartwell7978
yes...we need oxygen but its slowly killing us...
we do pay for the extra energy
@@cobrazax your both wrong - it is chemical burns.
I kidd. I kidd.
That council were the very leaders of the Soviet Union, including the pretty much dictator... I didn't expect anyone to call them "only paper pushers". ^^
fission reactions happen when uranium or plutonium atoms split into lesser elements, releasing neutrons which can split more uranium or plutonium, thus releasing radiation in the form of infrared radiation or heat, which heats water to create steam which at enough pressure spins a turbine, which is a copper mass interacting with magnets leading to the generation of electricity.
Of course I'm sorry, but I can't keep silent. Lady, I live in this country and Chernobyl is no laughing matter, in any context. The series certainly does not reliably show everything, but a lot. It is a terrible disaster and many, many people have died. Please be more human.
There was no exaggeration here, this is how people in the USSR had to behave because it's how the system worked. Saying the best thing was much more important than saying the true thing.
Actually the Radiation Cloud came across the USA. I remember them warning us to not spend a lot of time outside when it went over. My son was 4 years old at the time and couldn't understand why I wouldn't let him play outside. How can you explain something like that to a 4 year old? I just had to distract him. It was pretty miserable for both of us. lol
Same why they are doing this today. Telling children they can't go to birthday parties or have them. Tell them they can't hug their grandparents. One day we will talk about the pandemic in the same way.
That's unbelievable...in France our own government lied to te people by telling them that the radiation cloud would stop at our borders. So we had increased cancer, in the eastern part of France over several years. It became kinda of a meme here in France to say "It'll stop at our borders".
I was in Western Europe and Downwind of this when it happened. We couldn't eat or drink any dairy or eggs from the Economy. We drank a lot of powdered milk and ate powdered eggs for a good six months. Chernobyl was not the only Soviet Nuclear Accident and not the worst Soviet Nuclear Accident. Since 1950 the Soviet Union had 57 land based Nuclear Accidents. The worst of which more than doubled the release of Chernobyl. These, for the most part, were in desolate places and closed cities in Siberia and Kazakhstan and not reported. One accident was in Leningrad/ St. Petersburg! They also had releases of weaponized anthrax, among other things, that wiped whole villages off the map. I strongly recommend you watch a documentary called "The Russian Woodpecker" that shows Chernobyl was not an accident but a deliberate sabotage by the Soviets. Welcome to Socialism.
@@loganinkosovo Are the Russian still making version where it's the CIA caused the explosion.
@@Dularr yup....
on a TV miniseries called "Days that shook the world" there's a double episode which shows the creation of the first Nuclear Fission Pile Reactor by Enrico Fermi in 1940s and later in the episode it goes into what happened on the day of the reactor in Chernobyl blowing in 1986, through a way of making sense by explaining the nuclear pile from the 1940s.
The sand was to stop the fire and additional releases of radioactive material; the boron was to prevent additional nuclear reactions. ... The Soviet government also cut down and buried about a square mile of pine forest near the plant to reduce radioactive contamination at and near the site.
My advise is try not to web search for answers just yet. Please wait until you see all 5 episodes.
There are some inaccurate liberties taken to present the context as a TV show, but questions will be answered in time. You will learn more about the science, the politics, and the unsung heroes surrounding this very real disaster that still affects humanity today.
The science is wrong and the heroes are wrong. The politics are fine, though.
Don't listen to the haters. You guys are great! I love your reactions
They’ll tell you about the divers watch the epilogue at the end.
I rarely comment and you're the sweetest ppl on TH-cam, how the heck can someone come here and complain about your awesome reactions! Anyway, this show is so awesome ❤️
Конечно извините, но не могу смолчать. Леди, я живу в этой стране и Чернобыль это не повод для смеха, в любом контексте. Сериал конечно не все достоверно показывает, но очень многое. Это ужасная катастрофа и погибло много-много людей. Пожалуйста, будьте человечней.
Успокойся. Не нравится не смотри.
At one of the most important and emotional moments of the show Valery tells Boris he will be dead in 5 years, you chose to make it in to a joke, that he is old and would be dead soon anyway? Totally missing the crucial dialogue that made Boris aware, that no matter what propaganda people around him said, he was in fact sacrificing his life. This isn't a joke kind of show, it is many great things, which I guess you would never understand.
@Heather Stephens maybe stop being those typical “ignorant American” 🙄
Once again: Everyone, please keep the Politics out of the comments. The ladies are watching it for the first time and if they have no knowledge of the complete story, there is no need to be ugly about it.~Mod
8:00 It's never been a new thing - remember the mayor in Jaws pretended everything was fine and reopened the beaches for the tourist economy's sake, and he was still the mayor in Jaws 2.
This is really your only point of reference in the whole of history, putting out a lie to hide the truth? Really? Jaws? Seriously man, you need to get a better education.
Actually the URSS never updated the amount of dead people. And after this happened many more people died because of cancer. This was so serious the consequences are still affecting the place.
You guys are so funny. When your mom said “is that truck melting” i died😂😂😂😂😂
Actually the real events were much worse. One of the changes for dramatic effect was the helicopter. It didn't crash due to radiation, it happened much later and hit a construction cable.
You can see some of the blades snap when it hits the cable.
I didn't know that radiation could cause burn too. I mean not a lot of people know what radiation actually does. Since this serie I learned more about ut
I can not get over how fucking badass the general is
"even with sheilding it may not be enough"
"... then i'll do it myself"
Fucking legend!
"So funny series" lol
Hey there, good work reviewing this. Don't be afraid to ask questions, far better to challenge yourself, ask questions, learn than try to stay silent and pretend you know the facts. (That's what those two smug managers of Chernobyl did, and look where it got them!) You'll never know something until you've heard about it, and people don't tell you then what can you do? In Britain and Europe we all knew about it because the cloud of radiation threatened us, though the effects for our country in the end were happily relatively minimal. But I remember my mum and dad talking about it at the breakfast table when I was a kid, how the government were having to kill the sheep and lambs on the hills in Wales because they'd become contaminated by radiation through eating the grass that had being rained on by the Chernobyl cloud. Freaky stuff.
And yeah, it is kind of a horror movie. Erk. Radiation basically makes objects and particles radioactive, which in turn emit radiation. It can cause burns not unlike severe sunburn, and much, much worse.You also really don't want to breathe in dust that's contaminated by radiation - that's a good way to get lung cancer real quick - hence the gas masks with filters. However getting burns doesn't automatically mean you're going to die... you can heal if you remove yourself from the area... but you are likely to develop cancer in the future. Radiation can also cause batteries to fail (such as in the torches) disorientate people (the helicopter pilot who crashed) and have odd effects like your mouth suddenly tasting metal. All in all, not fun stuff. Though if Leatherface can come at you with a chainsaw through all of that, my hat goes off to him! (And my head, probably.)
The thermal explosion they talk about is a super-scary worse-case scenario as basically it would mean that the super-hot contents of the reactor would eat through the ground, hit the water that's flooded the vast basement and cause an instantaneous explosion that would engulf the neighbouring reactors and cause a nuclear detonation. You'd be talking millions dead and a good chunk of Russia and Europe uninhabitable for a century at least. Anyway, I prescribe reading some Calvin & Hobbes after each episode, or watching cartoons or something because blimey it's grim!
This radiation can heal but it’s in fazes 1st faze is like having flew 2nd you feel fine and think your getting better 4th stage it will start to decompose and get blisters and bleed 5th stage death or recover
The helicopter crash is one of the liberties that they took with the story. Yes, a helicopter did crash while working on the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster, but it didn't happen a few days after the explosion it happened a few weeks after the explosion and it wasn't due to radiation exposure like the show makes it seem. It happened because the tail of the helicopter clipped a crane. Other than that and a few other things, the show is pretty accurate.
It does clip a crane winch line in the show. You can see the block(hook) fall as the helicopter hits the line.
@@TheHoser82 Yes, but it's implied that the pilot fucked up due to the radiation.
The reason I knew a bit about radiation before watching this is because the idea of World War III was interesting to me. So I looked into what might happen, and what the effects would be if it did happen. When this reactor blows up I figure it's the same as a small nuclear explosion in terms of effects on people and the environment. When the civilians in the show look at that nuclear plant burning, they have no way of knowing it isn't a conventional explosion and fire. The creepy thing is that the Cbernobyl disaster wasn't the last time a government tried to tell its people that the threat was under control when in fact people were getting sick and dying.
An open power plant is nothing like a small nuklear explosion. A nuklear bomb is build to have the biggest explosion possible with the minimum radiation as possible. If you bomb an enemy, you want to devastate the enemys military, by still being able to walk the ground with your military with minimal protection gear.
Nuklear power plants are different. You don’t want any explosive component at all in it, but as much radiation as possible to generate heat and power. So most power plants aren’t even able to explode, but when one actually does, the explosion isn’t bigger then a tank explosion or something similar. But the radiation emitted is like hundreds of nuklear bombs worth.
who is the troll? I want their name now
GIVE ME THEIR NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually like if people know less about the incident and about how the stuff works cause you have a lot more genuine reactions and this is why the show was made anyway. Great reactions, keep it going!
But unfortunately, with them not knowing how things works will make them to assuming the wrong things and might lead other people who watch they video to assume the same wrong things
The mask he was wearing is a special sniper issue gas mask. Normal soviet style gas masks have the glass eyes side ways and you cant look into a sniper scope with it on properly. The mask he wears here is the sniper version and the eye holes are flat making it simple to look through a scope.
After completing Chernobyl you guys should react to "Dark" from Netflix on Mondays
if you like nuclear based films, you might like The China Syndrome from 1978, with Jane Foster, Michael Douglass and Jack Lemmon. A very good nuclear war film is the 1984 film Threads, but it would seem like a horror movie in today's world, and it was pretty scary because an event like nuclear war which happened in Threads could have happened in the past and can still happen in the future.
Yeah, it isn't like everyone is an expert on everything. I mention stuff in the same way I would with folks watching this for the first time. BTW, no one knows precisely how many died. Tens of thousands at least. The show takes a few dramatic liberties to be sure.
04:40 Radiation burns can heal. It depends on how much radiation, and how much medical attention they can receive. Some folks startlingly close to the disaster in the end recovered. Others just died, quickly, which was often a mercy. Others died less horribly, but more slowly, taking years (mostly from cancer).
06:33 It was beautiful. All the witnesses said as much. But hardly anyone in the general population knew much about radiation then. What a terrible, terrible tragedy... :(
07:25 At the heart of any dictatorship is a fundamental stupidity. Everyone has to pretend to be infallible, more or less, and tell those above them what they want to hear.
08:24 This was the exact moment when I began to respect, even like Boris.
10:56 Again, I really respected that Boris just turned around and went to get what was needed.
11:05 This DID happen, but several months later (took a long time to put that fire out). Also, the radiation did not cause the crash. If you look carefully you can see the copter hit a part of a chain dangling from a crane. However, the entire crew of the copter died of radiation poisoning. This worked more dramatically, though.
11:22 God, the look on Boris' face. As it hits him. He just received a death sentence.
13:24 This story is full of heroes. Thousands and thousands and thousands of them.
Both of you seem so sweet and pure. Thanks for your honest reactions.
Well to be fair. If you were in the United States you really didn't know much about this. The Soviet Union kept this fairly quiet. The United States didn't want to panic everyone. The only comparison is Three Mile Island, which wasn't even close to this disaster.
I was 13 when this happened and believe me, it was on tv all the time.
Fukushima isn't even close to this disaster
Oh my god are people actually getting mad cause you said radiation screw them I love watching you guys your guys reactions are the best I love how close you and your mom are I lost my mom years ago we we’re close also this is actually a good show it’s crazy what happened there
Do you know what punctuation is?
Just a fair warning from now on this show gets pretty graphic lol. Plus one episode that is really hard to watch.
Surface radiation can cause burn like lesions yes, that shows how highly radioactive those clothes were. Depending on the dose and type of exposure, recovery is possible. For ex the guy from the first ep, who held the door open for those other 2 who went to look at the core, and who then was shown bleeding through his clothes...he survived because the dose he got was not as high as the dose others got and while he suffered severe poisoning, with treatment he had a chance and recovered. The firemen themselves were exposed to thousands of Roentgen and if 100REM/h = 1 sievert and 8 sieverts causes certain fatal radiation poisoning ..u can imagine. I'm not an expert but the gist of it is ionizing radiation affects DNA in high enough doses all at once or over a period of time, causing it to break down. There is ways to protect yourself from alpha and beta particles, which don't penetrate (unless ingested) if your body is covered(alpha particles don't penetrate past the epidermis anyway) but gamma particles go right through you and that's the worst.
How late at night do you do these reviews? It looks like past bed time. 🤣 can't wait for yall to get to episode 4. I was obsessed with this show when it came out.
Amazing series
Can the mom stop yawning in every video?
Megan, you can use any term you want. People need to get over trying to "Correct" everyone on the details.~Mod
Please don’t listen to the haters. Love your videos. People tend to hate more and more now because they been inside more.
boron is a chemical element
Fun fact. Sweden just detected radiation coming from the Baltics this month (6/2020). Similar to what happened in 1986.
Norway and Finland also. But it was not from the Baltics (as in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) but from around the Baltic sea area generally. Nothing serious though.
I cant wait till they see the epilogue at the end one of the best shows ive ever seen
This miniseries was very well made, dramatic and harrowing. However, it should not be viewed as an accurate portrayal of historical events. Here is a link to a letter written by Dr. Robert Peter Gale (who treated many of the Chernobyl victims who suffered from Acute Radiation Sickness) pointing out some of the errors in the show: cancerletter.com/filmtv/20190524_3/
Some people are just haters. Don't worry about them.
You guys are great. I really enjoy your reactions :) congratulations on your channels success.
Really, all of the technical or scientific information you need to understand what's going on is presented in the series itself. Obviously, it's somewhat simplified and some of it isn't explained until the very end, but it's all there.
Pay no attention to trolls. This show was made to be watched by a lay audience, not an audience of experts in nuclear energy. You're doing fine.
That is such a cute dog in your picture
I get a funny feeling that anyone who comments on their flippant, disrespectful reaction, gets quickly removed. Funny that, as that is exactly how this tragedy happened. But then I suppose you won't get to see my comments as only positive reactions get to stay.
Don’t apologize. We love your reactions! Trolls are losers
And here you are being a loser for buying into their ignorance, the old one especially. I've been reading that negative comments are being deleted sounds about right for a soviet head buried in the sand communist channel. No doubt they worship their own flag on the hour every hour
You think they are over dramatizing. Lol. You should consider reading Soviet history. It is quite fascinating.
Sons of Anarchy?
Unfortunately I wish a lot of these were over dramatizations but this in many cases was quite literally what it was like, which is why the situation got as bad as it is today
They actually watered it down for the series. They didnt think a television audience could handle the true terror of what happened
A lot of it IS overdramatized, though. It's not a documentary, it's a TV drama. The female scientist is completely fictitious, for example.
Thank You!
Is It so funny , ladies ?!
9:50 Note to Self: Never, ever ever ever ...approach Judy in the woods.
21:21 Re-Read earlier note to self.
Still waiting for you to watch Predator
that pilot definitely got shot after disobeying the order
Better than the alternative
That falling helicopter is taken from an actual video of the event. By the time it hit the ground, both the helicopter itself and everyone inside basically had the structural integrity of water balloons after the point-blank blast of gamma radiation.

not the worst Soviet Nuclear Accident. Since 1950 the Soviet Union had 57 land

I don’t see anything funny in there. Have some respect for those who sacrificed ladies!
You speak spanish?
Paper pushers hehee😊
I gave you guys a chance, but I'm frankly disgusted with your reactions. This was nothing to laugh about. Your lack of knowledge of the basic ideas presented tells me you only did these reactions for views and money. I see those midroll ads, shame on you for profiting off of this tragedy.
please watch ghostbusters (2016)
Can you guys please think about watching Money Heist?
