Hey everyone, my channel recently got screwed by a TH-cam glitch when the US Military forced me to take down a video. If you want to support my work, you can do so at patreon.com/azealvr so I can keep doing these videos 🧡
Thanks for letting me share my story I am glad to see that people find it interesting and I am super excited to see people that worked in similar enviroments with similar sanitary standards. Also fun drinking game: Take a shot everytime I say "like"
@@Sandlchi Hey I appreciate the compliment, no I do not live in the states however I use English all the time at work due to tour crew members not speaking any of the other languages I speak or my mother tounge which is Swiss.
Biggest thing with radiation sickness (from what I’ve heard/been told) hits for a bit, goes away, then hits hard. Good to hear he didn’t get hit like others have in history.
Yes, depends on the dose. If it is way more than the lethal amount it's gonna hit the first time. But the 12.8mSv are not even close to the minimum dose for symptoms to appear, which is about 500mSv and the lethal dose is between 5000 and 10000mSv or 5-10 Sv. If I remember the graph from my radiation safety training correctly.
@@Hoellenmann Yes -- my understanding is that radiation safety standards are ridiculously conservative. I remember studying Chemistry in college, and we had a day when a nuclear physicists came in to talk about nuclear science and radiation -- and he said "we nuclear scientists allow ourselves a much higher radiation level than the levels that the government typically allows, because we know what the real risks are, we know what the real dangers are, and we are okay with taking on the risks because we understand them." He was quite happy that the rules were highly conservative, but he also believed firmly that they were extremely cautious.
One way I've heard it described, if you start vomiting almost immediately after exposure, your basically guaranteed to die and fairly quickly. Ironically if your gonna die from radiation poisoning better to get as high a dose as possible because otherwise your death is gonna be very slow.
Person you're interviewing is basically a fantastic case study in safety consciousness and awareness. I work in control systems and instrumentation. As bad sounding as the incident is, I know it could have been much worse. Edit: I wanted to add to this. For those reading, I know it makes you thr uncool person, and it is hard to do when you're as young as the interviewee, I'm not trying to belittle them or the actions they took. If your work place can pose any sort of a risk, you NEED to take safety critically. It is the number one most important part of your job, no matter what your bosses or organization might say. Quota's can be missed, production deadlines can be pushed back, money CAN be lost. Your life, your health is never worth someone's profit. Check your safety equipment whenever you use it. If you have an alarming device, test the buzzer, read the display, look for signs of damage. Be aware of the possible hazards in an area. Ask questions, and don't be afraid to say to your more senior coworkers: "If I was an idiot, how could *point at thing you're worried about* THAT kill me / hurt me?" Tenporary humiliation is worth a lifetime of avoiding injury. It's really shit what happened to this person. 'Small dose' aside, this absolutely was an avoidable incident. 0 blame to them.
Thanks for the comment I really appreciate this was something that was talked about during my time at the nuclear power plant. I did check the dosimeter if it had any visual damage which it didnt. I mean all of em had scratches just because of them being used over the years but I didnt get any hints that it would malfunction on me. Theres not really any way to test it either since those dosimeters only have a button to light up the display which did work. These dosimeters basically were something youd slot in a machine for when you come in and put a code in so the dosimeter would get the proper limit on when it should start beeping and never during my time there I had one go off on me so. Thanks for the comment glad to see someone that worked in a environment that worked also with control systems or that route of work atleast.
@@BatzProject absolutely! I really didn't mean it as a "this wouldn't have happened if you'd just done x y or z" I do think you did everything right in this case. Those dosimetters sound interesting, I only know about the passive ones here in the states (they go opaque when exposed, and a light sensor gets obscured and turns the alarm on when it can't see through it anymore. They're easy to test because you can push down on a plastic slide and it blocks the sensor, so you can see if the alarm goes off) It really does suck what happened to you, and I hope that the plant becomes more strict so future incidents don't occur. I am juat glad you weren't exposed to even more radiation. I hope you have good luck in the jobs you do from here on! I know you might not be in industrial electricity and instrumentation, but I know you'll find success, whatever that might mean for you. I hope I wasn't coming off as blaming you in the post, I really really didn't mean it that way!
@@alexandera2509 Nonononono I understand what point you trying to make so dont worry I just wanted to give some input since you seem to be educated in this subject. The ones we had, the only button that was there was to light up the display I think we should have had a function to test it before we go to work with it.
I’m an occupational first aid attendant, and such a big part of my job was making sure the younger hires understood that going to see me would not get them in trouble. I had to convince a few that going to me for a burn (food processing) actually let me have a break so they were doing ME a favour.
As a radiation worker in the US I have up to 50mSv (5 REM) as a yearly allowable dose and have seen in excess of 10msv (1 REM) happen acutely for both routine work and on accident like your case couple of times during my career. In my experience the stress of unexpected contamination and the decon process often has equal or more impactful on someone's health than the recorded dose. All of the Health Physics people I've worked with take their job very seriously and generally tend to overestimate than underestimate what I would get through year. It's hard to properly convey how much fun it is to have to strip down into some tyvek (and possibly never get clothes, watch, wallet, shoes, etc returned) and get whisked to a shower where you clean yourself under the watchful eye of health physics. Did you get it all(?!?!?), nope (because you never get everything on the first go) back in the shower and focus HERE and HERE. Rinse repeat maybe get shaved if it was something that likes hair and won't come out, which totally never happened to me because Co-60 managed to get through the ducky suit and really liked the boxers I was wearing. While you're at it rub this extra long damp q-tip around in your nose like your digging for gold or covid to see what got up there. Oh was there airborne.. go "hug the pig" and we'll compare your current internal to your baseline. Oh JOY! It can stress out even someone who regularly works with loose surface contamination and practices decontamination protocols. The health effects of the stress are very real and in some cases can be worse than the actual dose.
Thank you for leaving this comment. I have mentioned the decontamination process during the interview however it has been cut down and I didn't go much into detail either. However I really can relate with your comment regarding the psychological toll it has on you, it's also great to see people in the comment section that are educated or have worked in this branch of work.
@@Polygonlinunfortunately yes ... this holds for small incidents as well as for the major events like e.g. Fukushima .... Radiation is so far outside of the dangers percieved naturally by humans, that you fear what is invisible, unsmellable, untasteable untouchable ... and that evolutionary response to fear of the unknown is also what makes nuclear such an easy topic to polarize people politically ...
@@Polygonlin can be. Excessive stress that isn't handled appropriately often translates into physical ailments. This is a growing field of study right now in healthcare.
I'm working in nuclear medicine and a dose of 12.8 mSv is high, but its a thing that you could get through a CT scan. Those can be up to ~10 mSv, but he didn't get any medical benefits through absorbing that high of a dose. They probably didn't let him work because he reached the yearly dose limit. My yearly limit ist 10000 uSv = 10 mSv although I'm only getting about 50 uSv per month. Edit: The limit where immediat symptoms would develop (red burned skin, nausea) is about .5 Sv or 500 mSv which is a lot higher than what he absorbed. But it could be that his dosimeter didn't record the dose properly and his real dose was much higher.
Hey thanks for the input it's great to see other people that are educated in this comment here. I have had that thought that my dose might have been higher but 12.8 is what we know that I took so if the dosimeter malfunction on the reading side of things it would not surprise me since that thing was faulty from the start.
@@BatzProject Did you have a backup dosimeter? I would have guessed that you also had multiple on you. At my company I have to wear 4, one digital with live readout, 2nd one as backup/redundant system, 3rd one is a finger ring dosimeter and the last one is an eye lense dosimeter. Although I don't wear the eye lense dosimeter, because it's so frickin annoying, I just put it in my lab coat pocket. Three of those are film dosimeters and the main one is digital.
@@Hoellenmann Okay so we only had 2 dosimeters your personal dosimeter that records only your background radiation and your regular dosimeter for when youre inside the radiation zones. We didnt have backup dosimeters the way we got them was through a machine. Basically we just grab a random dosimeter and slot them in a machine, held my keycard to it and punched the code in depending on what work we were doing so its set for a specific limit.
@@BatzProject We are using the Mirion DMC 3000. I dropped mine probably around 20-30 times and it still works, no problem. Although I hoped that the alarm would get a bit quieter through dropping it, but that didn't happen so my ears still hurt when the alarm goes off. But we probably have different ones, because I work in a QC-lab and I get roughly the same dose every day (1-6 uSv), depending on which product is getting made this day. So we don't have to reprogram our dose rate limits every day. Edit: I didn't drop it intentionally, I just hoped that the noise reduction would be a side effect.
@@BatzProject You may want to contact them again and see what they found during a survey. After an incident like yours they should be doing a survey of the area and recreating the incident in a safe manner to accurately calculate your possible dose. Do you know what a survey meter was reading at the location you were in?
Listened to the whole thing, it's always great hearing from other people who have been in the Nuclear industry as well! Hopefully the longterm ARS effects don't keep giving many issues.
Holy hell, loved this video so much, nothing too much to comment other than loved the insight into nuclear power plants since it's into my interests working into one in the future, but I'm just leaving my bit of help so the algorithm has better chances to pick your channel again, great video as always Azeal, you can pull it off.
Great video Azeal. you never fail to amaze me with every unique story you share with us. i hope you and BattleKau are doing well and i wish the best for you both in the future
I get it! Look, thats fucking the most advanced tech we have. We use primal forces that create matter to get energy so you can watch silly videos on youtube.
Fun fact about those RBMK reactors from a nuclear engineering student. Unlike standard PWR or BWR reactors as used in the U.S., France, or other countries, RBMK's have a highly positive void coefficient. This means their reactions speed up as they boil off more water, increasing the potential for run-away super-critical reactions.
How do you find time to do all these things? Everyday life, charity streams, and interviews on interesting persons on vrc. I can barely get out of bed to do simple stuff! You have my respect little guy.
Hey Azeal, for the guest on this one, a question? "Hey, have you written any songs about nuclear power? Like, love of it, how it was feeling the power? Would be cool to hear dude. Also, thanks for sharing, the realities are something more people need to hear."
Hey there simple answer is no, I have a tendency to not write songs about IRL things more focus on a vibe, a setting or a feeling. However I am planning on writing an album that's a bit more "charged" when it comes to the theme
@@BatzProject thanks for the reply, I figured it was a shot in the dark if I'd get a reply, and that's awesome to hear. See if can give it a listen at some point. Do you do promos for your work under the BattleKau handle?
okay first, I love your outro music, its so amazing and sounds beautiful and is so comforting and I want an extended version of it on some music site because its amazing. secondly, Azeal, I swear you're like the most amazing person ever. like I get you probably do act differently off screen, but you have the most honest and caring and genuine voice. I hear how invested and interested in each person's story you are, and its just amazing to hear, you're a perfect person to be doing this because I can hear it in your voice that you'll just listen, you just want to hear them. I found you sometime towards the end of cover and honestly the content you make is awesome, I wish I could support you but I don't have any real way to other than just interacting with the video sadly. One day I will though. You're a good person, and I know somebody random on the internet typing out some comment doesn't mean much, but I hope the algorithm starts working in your favor again soon! But on a side note, not to be all like "oh im so lonely and edgy and poetic and also so so sappy", but the chances of you seeing this are low even with it being only about 9 days since you posted, so if you do read this Azeal, I mean what I say, because if I didn't It'd be entirely pointless to write this. Thank you, for letting people tell their stories.
There are a lot of job rules in nuclaer engineering. Some people may just spent a lot of time servicing pipes and control panels- you don't really need a pHd in Nuclear Phycists, it's like this for a lot of "Impressive" jobs really.
In reference to the talk about Chernobyl, it's pretty much known that the plant management is to blame for what happened (well, to anyone that has taken accident courses). Originally, the goal of staff at Chernobyl was to re-run an experiment that had been run successfully before which was to keep powering the coolant pumps with the waste heat of the reactor after the reactor had been shutdown. The problem is multi-fold on what happened. First - Soviet era reactor designs are built with a positive reactivity coefficient with heat. This means that Soviet era reactors are very easy to control when at low power/low heat and a real PITA to control a high power/high heat (western designs are the exact opposite with a negative reactivity coefficient, so low power, harder to control, but when a full power, very easy to control). Second - They required a minimum of 8 hours of downtime before starting the experiment to make sure that the major neutron "poison", Xe 135, was decayed away (it has around a 1 hour half life). Xe 135 is a major neutron absorber and is actually used as a passive control of reactors, but the experiment was to be run with a very low amount of Xe 135 built up to control the reactor more easily. Third - They were coming up on one of the major holidays in Europe and especially for communist countries, May Day (May 1st). They scheduled the experiment to run on a Saturday night (figuring they wouldn't need much power at the time and May Day was still 4 1/2 days away as the experiment was to run at 8 PM local time on April 25th). Fourth - Staff during the experiment were the least trained to handle the reactor and were more set towards a lower power steady state (which is more easily controlled with Soviet era reactor designs). Fifth - Management thought they knew best (this is the key to the accident). Reactor 4 was scheduled to shutdown at Noon local time at April 25th in order to run the experiment at 8 PM local time. Due to power needs, Management order that Reactor 4 keep running at normal power to supply the needs of the grid at the time. At 8 PM, when the experiment was to start, Management continued to need power from Reactor 4 so it kept operating. Finally at midnight local time, now April 26th, Management stated that Reactor 4 could be brought down and was done so. Management then informed the scientists and engineers on staff to run the experiment at 12 AM. Scientists and engineers on staff protested stating they needed 8 hours of down time before running the experiment and stated it would be better to reschedule to a different date. Management informed them that it was not possible and that they would run the experiement as normal at 12 AM. Scientists and engineers again protested stating that there was not enough time to allow for a safe run of the experiment. Management then informed the staff that they would run the experiment or be replaced. Scientists and engineers protest, but move forward with the experiment. The rest is pretty much well known. Experiment started at midnight, due to the Xe 135 still in the fuel, power drop precipitously, to compensate they withdrew the control rods further than needed. When power spiked as the Xe 135 burned off, they tried to re-insert the control rods. The problem is, the control rods for the reactor design that was used at Chernobyl (and a number of other plants like Chernobyl) has graphite on the tips which will increase neutron moderation and can bring the reactor into a supercritical state (further spiking power) and with the increased heat, the water running through the steam tubes in the reactor flashed to steam causing a steam explosion that tore the reactor apart and was powerful enough to send the 30 ton reactor cap flying out of the building.
wow, I also work as an Instrument technician but at a papermill, the risk of dying or seriously injuring yourself at a papermill is very high if protocols are not followed. government pay is something i could only dream of at my current job.
Looking at the thumbnail title made me think this was a follow along tutorial to get 6 years of radiation in 30 min (about the length of this video coincidentally)
Thanks for sharing this with us. I wish there was more research done on the mental side of what being dosed with radiation in the like. I have mental fog and mental disabilities. And would just love for more research on all these types of topics.
Radiation, the nasty thing that can make a person literally decay, I have heard about so many nuclear incidents, that I’d literally not be able to work at a nuclear reactor or something like that.
Based on the fact that you could drink beer at lunch and the fact the “ th” sound isn’t pronounced. I can introduce that this took place in North Germany.
Imagine not being cool enough to not check out the week long livestream at 12AM EST that has two more days left. But you can help change this and help donate a few bucks while you're at it too!
Every instance of negligence in this story is absolutely enraging, as in my work environment that could kill someone, all of them could get you fired without question on the first mistake. (except the gum thing). There's a reason they didn't tell you who didn't do their job, cause most people would kick the shit out of them maybe even kill them.
"it was like a summer thing" Friend: "So what summer job you got?" Him: "Oh, I'm an instrument technician at a nuclear power plant." Friend: "What the fu-"
abit off topic but as a 5th gen fin person my great great grandpa was a blacksmith and later now a mechanic i now work at a mechanic shop, and the best in my town (wont say where for personal reasons) but its pretty cool family history
Whenever I watch videos like this, I automatically try to figure out what country hes from and what power plant he worked at, because the curiosity is just too much. But then stop myself because its dangerous and nozy 😅.
I'm gonna be honest I really like videos like this WAY more than the videos dealing with trans rights and the like. They just tend to bore me and I like military stuff like this anyways. Keep up the great work and I really enjoy this type of video.
If we could get a follow-up interview with this gentleman. I would like to hear more about the medical difficulties, the radiation sickness, and the care he needs to do, if any, for the condition. I expected him to say he now has partial or permanent vertigo*. What he did disclose sounds similar to the what the fbi and cia agents that got hit with microwave guns while in Russia have described. Originally the agents weren't believed to have medical issues because only they can experience the mental issues. Mustle reflexes and other medical tests will come up normal.
In regards to RBMK reactors, the designer also designed the reactor for the ill-fated submarine K-19. The only reason he still had a job was because he had friends in high places in the Soviet government.
Was anybody else trying to narrow down where this guy is from? I wasn't doing it maliciously, I was just intrigued by this story and wanted to learn more about the incident.
A dork further down in the comment seems to have narrowed it down to Sweden cause he mentioned sea water coolant, chewing tobacco and that his country had won several safety awards. I doubt it was someone trying to be an asshole it's just that more people are good at open source intelligence nowadays.
so to explain the mental shennanigans that he was talking about, radiation poisoning travels thru the body because its particles literally bouncing around inside people and not an actual disease... he said his head was rather close to the radiated material without any form of PPE, meaning said particles were bouncing around in his head also screwing shit over on that end... thankfully it wasnt too bad(it couldve been much worse from my understanding)...
Thanks for your input it was really hard to explain this during the interview since I am in no shape educated when it comes to the medical side of things.
@@BatzProject no worries man, i just know things from being way too curious when it comes to anatomy(mainly in the brain department) and some psychological phenomena... just felt that question was kinda hanging around in the comment section so i decided to explain it abit.
There's not really any real practical PPE that can fully protect you from radiation, only time and disatance- you can kind of get some limited protection from alpha and beta particles but gamma particles will pucnh through an inch of lead- I understand its general practice just to reduce exposure time and distance from radiation sources. The way radiation works causes other particles to eject more radiation- changing the chemical structure of whatever it hit- ie. DNA- it would work its way through your body over time until it reaches stable isotopes... Yes it could be much worse, for the reasons above if there is too much radiation it will just spread instead of stopping quickly- most cases I've heard of radiation exposure describe it as a feeling like "burning", or "my body is on fire". Which seems pretty apt. This is before cancer risk
Got this recommended in my feed underneath another video I think? Not subbed but I am now Shoutout to you 2, always love seeing these sorts of stories. Something cool to me that our tech has advanced so far that it lets people shoot the shit as fuckin cartoons. What a time to be alive huh?
He's going to get cancer down the road with a radiation that intense. It'll start off small like he's experiencing with the health issues, but it will get worse and worse over time. poor guy :(
There's a higher _chance_ of cancer, it's not 100% guaranteed. Also, due to his medical history of radiation exposure, doctors will likely know what to screen for. They can catch it early and begin treating it before he even has to worry.
This was 100% a complete failure of both protocol and procedure... This never should’ve happened and I can only hope this incident was reviewed extensively and things were revised or renewed to make sure this NEVER happens again... Best wishes from the U.S, I hope things turn out better for you in the future! ❤ Also...not in the nuclear field myself but love to see more people talk about how safe nuclear energy is! Always nice to see people trying to breed understanding of topics rather than fear of them.
Hi Chernobyl person here the only reason I was able to work there was because of 1 my family knew a company that was working for the power plant and 2 I was studying while working so when I finish studying I can work for the company fulltime immediately. Another thing is for the type of work I did I would argue that the type of work I was doing (The tasks themselves) wouldn't be something an installation electrician couldn't do but that's pretty much all I can really say about it without screwing myself over xD
radiation is a terrifying thing for me the fact this thing can just end someones life by exposure to it alone is terrifying not to mention its side effects
I had a neighbor growing up who died when I was in late middle school, I believe. But I remember her getting cancer and my mom telling me she was getting radiation treatment for it and my brain was just like *boom* "you can use something that causes cancer to get rid of cancer?!" She ended up making a full recovery and but died from other complications and old age and stuff my parents won't talk about with me.
Can confirm government jobs are great. You're either being paid a shitload or slightly above your industry's average salary but with much leaner work hours and other benefits for retirement. These jobs are so safe, you could hold them forever and be settled for life, especially if you get into the higher skill levels which usually require you to have a degree and / or several years of experience in the field.
^This thank you for giving your input! Hence why it was a hard decision to drop it due to it would settle you up for life. May I ask what you worked with that was Government orientated?
honestly one of the last points with following your true passions in a certain profession is such an important aspect of life. like friends, people and even family will tell one that you only work for money and no matter how shit its going you should still be going and basically be depressed and work like a slave (in my case its my roommates telling me indirectly to be a slave, telling me to go work construction which i cant because i have torn muscles from an accident in sports, same for my illness, he is one of those people that thinks illnesses are a lie but i literally have lymphoma and the smallest fever will put me face down on my bed and he literally told me that im such a pussy and that i should work like him and go even if i had covid or even ebola (actually something he said), so i literally took him to the surgeon and doc that did surgery on me, he gave me a scan image and examination of lymphoma and my muscles, to this day havent grown solid so i still cant run for example and that a basic illness is an increased chance of my literal death compared to others). yes that way you can make the most money while youre still young but heres the key thing, youre no longer young, possibly have a bad back, knee or other injuries or even get sick but hey you have 7 figures in your bank, whatre you gonna do now with that money get all baddies hell no youre at least 50 by then. To me finding work in an environment you will enjoy sets you up for a happier life, like over here a retail job pays good enough to get an apartment, car (not a porsche but a grocery getter) and some rest to spend on yourself. I see my roommate come home basically looking like a zombie cause he worked 14hours 6 days a week (construction life amirite) while i come home from being a food delivery guy (having worked 7hrs 4 days a week with only 1k less pay) like a happy little gremlin ready to go out again and do stuff with my friends. Yes he owns an AMG, he can only drive it properly when hes on holidays or when he goes to work. i can go for a drive in my stupid little modified car, eat out, talk to ppl irl or online and game a good amount, ill still have money left over to spend and set me up for retirement. this is just a note from me to you as a fellow young human being, if you wanna suffer so you can buy a car you cant do shit with go right ahead But as i said a fellow human being, take your mental and physical shape into consideration. if you wanna do well in life you gotta be well first. Go work the jobs you like, not where people tell you should. you like what you like, youre not them, you dont need to show off money and then cry yourself to sleep edit: i forgot to mention why i said all this, that roommate i was referencing tells me he wants to make music and make his living with said music, good and all right? nope, not once have i seen him finish his music by now, hes just too tired. people, watch your mental and physical health PLEASE
For anyone who jumps to conclusions about nuclear power its safe and it produces a lot of energy {WHEN HANDELED RIGHT!} however when poorly maintained there will be issues.

Those dosimetters sound interesting, I only know about the passive ones here in the states (they go opaque when exposed, and a light sensor gets obscured and turns the alarm on when it can't see through it anymore. They're easy to test because you can push down on a plastic slide and it blocks the sensor, so you can see if the alarm goes off)
It really does suck what happened to you, and I hope that the plant becomes more strict so future incidents don't occur. I am juat glad you weren't exposed to even more radiation. I hope you have good luck in the jobs you do from here on! I know you might not be in industrial electricity and instrumentation, but I know you'll find success, whatever that might mean for you.
I hope I wasn't coming off as blaming you in the post, I really really didn't mean it that way!
@@alexandera2509 Nonononono I understand what point you trying to make so dont worry I just wanted to give some input since you seem to be educated in this subject. The ones we had, the only button that was there was to light up the display I think we should have had a function to test it before we go to work with it.
Sure, being concerned about the safety of you and those around you might not be very cool. You or them dying is a whole lot less cool.
I’m an occupational first aid attendant, and such a big part of my job was making sure the younger hires understood that going to see me would not get them in trouble. I had to convince a few that going to me for a burn (food processing) actually let me have a break so they were doing ME a favour.
It’s so fitting that you did this interview on a Fallout New Vegas map.
Someone noticed!
Eyyyyy somebody got it.

@@Azeal🎶I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle🎶
As a radiation worker in the US I have up to 50mSv (5 REM) as a yearly allowable dose and have seen in excess of 10msv (1 REM) happen acutely for both routine work and on accident like your case couple of times during my career. In my experience the stress of unexpected contamination and the decon process often has equal or more impactful on someone's health than the recorded dose. All of the Health Physics people I've worked with take their job very seriously and generally tend to overestimate than underestimate what I would get through year.
It's hard to properly convey how much fun it is to have to strip down into some tyvek (and possibly never get clothes, watch, wallet, shoes, etc returned) and get whisked to a shower where you clean yourself under the watchful eye of health physics. Did you get it all(?!?!?), nope (because you never get everything on the first go) back in the shower and focus HERE and HERE. Rinse repeat maybe get shaved if it was something that likes hair and won't come out, which totally never happened to me because Co-60 managed to get through the ducky suit and really liked the boxers I was wearing. While you're at it rub this extra long damp q-tip around in your nose like your digging for gold or covid to see what got up there. Oh was there airborne.. go "hug the pig" and we'll compare your current internal to your baseline. Oh JOY!
It can stress out even someone who regularly works with loose surface contamination and practices decontamination protocols. The health effects of the stress are very real and in some cases can be worse than the actual dose.
Thank you for leaving this comment. I have mentioned the decontamination process during the interview however it has been cut down and I didn't go much into detail either. However I really can relate with your comment regarding the psychological toll it has on you, it's also great to see people in the comment section that are educated or have worked in this branch of work.
Wait. the Health Effects of the STRESS is in some cases worse than the Actual dose? o_o
@@Polygonlinunfortunately yes ... this holds for small incidents as well as for the major events like e.g. Fukushima ....
Radiation is so far outside of the dangers percieved naturally by humans, that you fear what is invisible, unsmellable, untasteable untouchable ... and that evolutionary response to fear of the unknown is also what makes nuclear such an easy topic to polarize people politically ...
@@Polygonlin can be. Excessive stress that isn't handled appropriately often translates into physical ailments. This is a growing field of study right now in healthcare.
I’m already stressed out just reading about it😂
Failure isn't the end of everything,
Nuclear Engineers honest reaction
Could have not said it better
Wellll a failure could be the end of everything with a big kaboom. But yeah you’re right failure may be a setback but it shouldn’t stop you.
I'm working in nuclear medicine and a dose of 12.8 mSv is high, but its a thing that you could get through a CT scan. Those can be up to ~10 mSv, but he didn't get any medical benefits through absorbing that high of a dose. They probably didn't let him work because he reached the yearly dose limit. My yearly limit ist 10000 uSv = 10 mSv although I'm only getting about 50 uSv per month.
Edit: The limit where immediat symptoms would develop (red burned skin, nausea) is about .5 Sv or 500 mSv which is a lot higher than what he absorbed. But it could be that his dosimeter didn't record the dose properly and his real dose was much higher.
Hey thanks for the input it's great to see other people that are educated in this comment here. I have had that thought that my dose might have been higher but 12.8 is what we know that I took so if the dosimeter malfunction on the reading side of things it would not surprise me since that thing was faulty from the start.
@@BatzProject Did you have a backup dosimeter? I would have guessed that you also had multiple on you. At my company I have to wear 4, one digital with live readout, 2nd one as backup/redundant system, 3rd one is a finger ring dosimeter and the last one is an eye lense dosimeter. Although I don't wear the eye lense dosimeter, because it's so frickin annoying, I just put it in my lab coat pocket. Three of those are film dosimeters and the main one is digital.
@@Hoellenmann Okay so we only had 2 dosimeters your personal dosimeter that records only your background radiation and your regular dosimeter for when youre inside the radiation zones. We didnt have backup dosimeters the way we got them was through a machine. Basically we just grab a random dosimeter and slot them in a machine, held my keycard to it and punched the code in depending on what work we were doing so its set for a specific limit.
@@BatzProject We are using the Mirion DMC 3000. I dropped mine probably around 20-30 times and it still works, no problem. Although I hoped that the alarm would get a bit quieter through dropping it, but that didn't happen so my ears still hurt when the alarm goes off.
But we probably have different ones, because I work in a QC-lab and I get roughly the same dose every day (1-6 uSv), depending on which product is getting made this day. So we don't have to reprogram our dose rate limits every day.
Edit: I didn't drop it intentionally, I just hoped that the noise reduction would be a side effect.
@@BatzProject You may want to contact them again and see what they found during a survey. After an incident like yours they should be doing a survey of the area and recreating the incident in a safe manner to accurately calculate your possible dose. Do you know what a survey meter was reading at the location you were in?
Listened to the whole thing, it's always great hearing from other people who have been in the Nuclear industry as well!
Hopefully the longterm ARS effects don't keep giving many issues.

Great video Azeal. you never fail to amaze me with every unique story you share with us. i hope you and BattleKau are doing well and i wish the best for you both in the future

Hey I appreciate it ;D
@@BatzProject you were great happy to see you on!
I get it! Look, thats fucking the most advanced tech we have. We use primal forces that create matter to get energy so you can watch silly videos on youtube.
Fun fact about those RBMK reactors from a nuclear engineering student. Unlike standard PWR or BWR reactors as used in the U.S., France, or other countries, RBMK's have a highly positive void coefficient. This means their reactions speed up as they boil off more water, increasing the potential for run-away super-critical reactions.
Also, when the water boil off happens, it creates a fucking vacuum which can dent those fuel channels so you can not drop the rods.

How do you find time to do all these things? Everyday life, charity streams, and interviews on interesting persons on vrc. I can barely get out of bed to do simple stuff! You have my respect little guy.
Hey Azeal, for the guest on this one, a question?
"Hey, have you written any songs about nuclear power? Like, love of it, how it was feeling the power? Would be cool to hear dude. Also, thanks for sharing, the realities are something more people need to hear."
Hey there simple answer is no, I have a tendency to not write songs about IRL things more focus on a vibe, a setting or a feeling. However I am planning on writing an album that's a bit more "charged" when it comes to the theme
@@BatzProject thanks for the reply, I figured it was a shot in the dark if I'd get a reply, and that's awesome to hear. See if can give it a listen at some point. Do you do promos for your work under the BattleKau handle?

Really hope to see them dj on the stream this week! Keep up the good work!
okay first, I love your outro music, its so amazing and sounds beautiful and is so comforting and I want an extended version of it on some music site because its amazing.
secondly, Azeal, I swear you're like the most amazing person ever. like I get you probably do act differently off screen, but you have the most honest and caring and genuine voice. I hear how invested and interested in each person's story you are, and its just amazing to hear, you're a perfect person to be doing this because I can hear it in your voice that you'll just listen, you just want to hear them. I found you sometime towards the end of cover and honestly the content you make is awesome, I wish I could support you but I don't have any real way to other than just interacting with the video sadly. One day I will though. You're a good person, and I know somebody random on the internet typing out some comment doesn't mean much, but I hope the algorithm starts working in your favor again soon! But on a side note, not to be all like "oh im so lonely and edgy and poetic and also so so sappy", but the chances of you seeing this are low even with it being only about 9 days since you posted, so if you do read this Azeal, I mean what I say, because if I didn't It'd be entirely pointless to write this. Thank you, for letting people tell their stories.

In summer, this man full on worked in a nuclear station
Hi. Was nice listening to your life even. Very fun guy to speak to. I hope you the best and stay creative ! Much love!
In reference to the talk about Chernobyl, it's pretty much known that the plant management is to blame for what happened (well, to anyone that has taken accident courses).
Originally, the goal of staff at Chernobyl was to re-run an experiment that had been run successfully before which was to keep powering the coolant pumps with the waste heat of the reactor after the reactor had been shutdown.
The problem is multi-fold on what happened.
First - Soviet era reactor designs are built with a positive reactivity coefficient with heat. This means that Soviet era reactors are very easy to control when at low power/low heat and a real PITA to control a high power/high heat (western designs are the exact opposite with a negative reactivity coefficient, so low power, harder to control, but when a full power, very easy to control).
Second - They required a minimum of 8 hours of downtime before starting the experiment to make sure that the major neutron "poison", Xe 135, was decayed away (it has around a 1 hour half life). Xe 135 is a major neutron absorber and is actually used as a passive control of reactors, but the experiment was to be run with a very low amount of Xe 135 built up to control the reactor more easily.
Third - They were coming up on one of the major holidays in Europe and especially for communist countries, May Day (May 1st). They scheduled the experiment to run on a Saturday night (figuring they wouldn't need much power at the time and May Day was still 4 1/2 days away as the experiment was to run at 8 PM local time on April 25th).
Fourth - Staff during the experiment were the least trained to handle the reactor and were more set towards a lower power steady state (which is more easily controlled with Soviet era reactor designs).
Fifth - Management thought they knew best (this is the key to the accident).
Reactor 4 was scheduled to shutdown at Noon local time at April 25th in order to run the experiment at 8 PM local time. Due to power needs, Management order that Reactor 4 keep running at normal power to supply the needs of the grid at the time. At 8 PM, when the experiment was to start, Management continued to need power from Reactor 4 so it kept operating. Finally at midnight local time, now April 26th, Management stated that Reactor 4 could be brought down and was done so.
Management then informed the scientists and engineers on staff to run the experiment at 12 AM. Scientists and engineers on staff protested stating they needed 8 hours of down time before running the experiment and stated it would be better to reschedule to a different date. Management informed them that it was not possible and that they would run the experiement as normal at 12 AM. Scientists and engineers again protested stating that there was not enough time to allow for a safe run of the experiment. Management then informed the staff that they would run the experiment or be replaced. Scientists and engineers protest, but move forward with the experiment.
The rest is pretty much well known. Experiment started at midnight, due to the Xe 135 still in the fuel, power drop precipitously, to compensate they withdrew the control rods further than needed. When power spiked as the Xe 135 burned off, they tried to re-insert the control rods. The problem is, the control rods for the reactor design that was used at Chernobyl (and a number of other plants like Chernobyl) has graphite on the tips which will increase neutron moderation and can bring the reactor into a supercritical state (further spiking power) and with the increased heat, the water running through the steam tubes in the reactor flashed to steam causing a steam explosion that tore the reactor apart and was powerful enough to send the 30 ton reactor cap flying out of the building.
Could have not explained it better I went into detail of it a bit during the interview but this explains it perfectly of what happened.
wow, I also work as an Instrument technician but at a papermill, the risk of dying or seriously injuring yourself at a papermill is very high if protocols are not followed. government pay is something i could only dream of at my current job.
Looking at the thumbnail title made me think this was a follow along tutorial to get 6 years of radiation in 30 min (about the length of this video coincidentally)

Every instance of negligence in this story is absolutely enraging, as in my work environment that could kill someone, all of them could get you fired without question on the first mistake.

If we could get a follow-up interview with this gentleman. I would like to hear more about the medical difficulties, the radiation sickness, and the care he needs to do, if any, for the condition. I expected him to say he now has partial or permanent vertigo*. What he did disclose sounds similar to the what the fbi and cia agents that got hit with microwave guns while in Russia have described. Originally the agents weren't believed to have medical issues because only they can experience the mental issues. Mustle reflexes and other medical tests will come up normal.

love your content
BRO THIS IS THE BEST STORY WHY NO MORE AZEAL CONTENT ON FOR YOU PAGE
That is actually really interesting.
oh hi you!
Bro the title is worrying me I gotta watch this lol
Was anybody else trying to narrow down where this guy is from? I wasn't doing it maliciously, I was just intrigued by this story and wanted to learn more about the incident.
Germany most likely
Either Germany or Sweden, but I wouldn't want to potentially out them either.
A dork further down in the comment seems to have narrowed it down to Sweden cause he mentioned sea water coolant, chewing tobacco and that his country had won several safety awards.
I doubt it was someone trying to be an asshole it's just that more people are good at open source intelligence nowadays.
so to explain the mental shennanigans that he was talking about, radiation poisoning travels thru the body because its particles literally bouncing around inside people and not an actual disease... he said his head was rather close to the radiated material without any form of PPE, meaning said particles were bouncing around in his head also screwing shit over on that end... thankfully it wasnt too bad(it couldve been much worse from my understanding)...
Thanks for your input it was really hard to explain this during the interview since I am in no shape educated when it comes to the medical side of things.
@@BatzProject no worries man, i just know things from being way too curious when it comes to anatomy(mainly in the brain department) and some psychological phenomena... just felt that question was kinda hanging around in the comment section so i decided to explain it abit.
@@crustybomb115 Hey I appreciate it thank you so much
There's not really any real practical PPE that can fully protect you from radiation, only time and disatance-
you can kind of get some limited protection from alpha and beta particles but gamma particles will pucnh through an inch of lead-
I understand its general practice just to reduce exposure time and distance from radiation sources.
The way radiation works causes other particles to eject more radiation- changing the chemical structure of whatever it hit-
ie. DNA- it would work its way through your body over time until it reaches stable isotopes...
Yes it could be much worse, for the reasons above if there is too much radiation it will just spread instead of stopping quickly-
most cases I've heard of radiation exposure describe it as a feeling like "burning", or "my body is on fire". Which seems pretty apt.
This is before cancer risk
here to keep your channel growing, fuck the algorithm
Got this recommended in my feed underneath another video I think?
Not subbed but I am now
Shoutout to you 2, always love seeing these sorts of stories. Something cool to me that our tech has advanced so far that it lets people shoot the shit as fuckin cartoons. What a time to be alive huh?
He's going to get cancer down the road with a radiation that intense. It'll start off small like he's experiencing with the health issues, but it will get worse and worse over time. poor guy :(
Theres no need for Sympathy I am alive I am well and I am going to be okay and that's all that matters :)
There's a higher _chance_ of cancer, it's not 100% guaranteed. Also, due to his medical history of radiation exposure, doctors will likely know what to screen for. They can catch it early and begin treating it before he even has to worry.
bruh, 45 milisiverts is the national advised dose for a reactor worker every year
gotta watch this quickly before it gets nuked
This was 100% a complete failure of both protocol and procedure... This never should’ve happened and I can only hope this incident was reviewed extensively and things were revised or renewed to make sure this NEVER happens again...
Best wishes from the U.S, I hope things turn out better for you in the future! ❤

There are no accidents. Only bad safety precautions.
Not your fault man! You're awesome!
god knows how he got to work at a nuclear plant at 21 when u normally need YEARS of experience to get into one of those
Hi Chernobyl person here the only reason I was able to work there was because of 1 my family knew a company that was working for the power plant and 2 I was studying while working so when I finish studying I can work for the company fulltime immediately. Another thing is for the type of work I did I would argue that the type of work I was doing (The tasks themselves) wouldn't be something an installation electrician couldn't do but that's pretty much all I can really say about it without screwing myself over xD
@@BatzProject i think casue ur an electritian its fine. Im a welder so for me to do any sort of welding there would be way more risky
radiation is a terrifying thing for me the fact this thing can just end someones life by exposure to it alone is terrifying not to mention its side effects
not so different to exposure to certain chemicals or biological agents, truly terrifying stuff.
I had a neighbor growing up who died when I was in late middle school, I believe. But I remember her getting cancer and my mom telling me she was getting radiation treatment for it and my brain was just like *boom* "you can use something that causes cancer to get rid of cancer?!" She ended up making a full recovery and but died from other complications and old age and stuff my parents won't talk about with me.

Can confirm government jobs are great. You're either being paid a shitload or slightly above your industry's average salary but with much leaner work hours and other benefits for retirement. These jobs are so safe, you could hold them forever and be settled for life, especially if you get into the higher skill levels which usually require you to have a degree and / or several years of experience in the field.
^This thank you for giving your input! Hence why it was a hard decision to drop it due to it would settle you up for life. May I ask what you worked with that was Government orientated?
unless they are teachers :((
@@Azeal very true, unfortunately...
honestly one of the last points with following your true passions in a certain profession is such an important aspect of life. like friends, people and even family will tell one that you only work for money and no matter how shit its going you should still be going and basically be depressed and work like a slave (in my case its my roommates telling me indirectly to be a slave, telling me to go work construction which i cant because i have torn muscles from an accident in sports, same for my illness, he is one of those people that thinks illnesses are a lie but i literally have lymphoma and the smallest fever will put me face down on my bed and he literally told me that im such a pussy and that i should work like him and go even if i had covid or even ebola (actually something he said), so i literally took him to the surgeon and doc that did surgery on me, he gave me a scan image and examination of lymphoma and my muscles, to this day havent grown solid so i still cant run for example and that a basic illness is an increased chance of my literal death compared to others). yes that way you can make the most money while youre still young but heres the key thing, youre no longer young, possibly have a bad back, knee or other injuries or even get sick but hey you have 7 figures in your bank, whatre you gonna do now with that money get all baddies hell no youre at least 50 by then. To me finding work in an environment you will enjoy sets you up for a happier life, like over here a retail job pays good enough to get an apartment, car (not a porsche but a grocery getter) and some rest to spend on yourself. I see my roommate come home basically looking like a zombie cause he worked 14hours 6 days a week (construction life amirite) while i come home from being a food delivery guy (having worked 7hrs 4 days a week with only 1k less pay) like a happy little gremlin ready to go out again and do stuff with my friends. Yes he owns an AMG, he can only drive it properly when hes on holidays or when he goes to work. i can go for a drive in my stupid little modified car, eat out, talk to ppl irl or online and game a good amount, ill still have money left over to spend and set me up for retirement.
this is just a note from me to you as a fellow young human being, if you wanna suffer so you can buy a car you cant do shit with go right ahead
But as i said a fellow human being, take your mental and physical shape into consideration. if you wanna do well in life you gotta be well first.
Go work the jobs you like, not where people tell you should. you like what you like, youre not them, you dont need to show off money and then cry yourself to sleep
edit: i forgot to mention why i said all this, that roommate i was referencing tells me he wants to make music and make his living with said music, good and all right? nope, not once have i seen him finish his music by now, hes just too tired. people, watch your mental and physical health PLEASE
Thing about nuclear power is if you have an accident at a desk job, you won't die of radiation disease.
I mean youre not wrong also its not a disease term your looking for is Acute Radiation Syndrome or ARS
Me finding out that the video that randomly loaded and me listening and enjoying it and finally looking and seeing two anime girls talk 😮😂
