“It had a deep blue light, and thought it looked cool, so he decided to take the capsule home.” What a sentence lol
he should eat it cuz it looks cool so it's probably delicious too
@@markradvanszki5659 his daughter ate some of it, and became a literal walking source of radiation.
After her inevitable death, she was buried in a lead coffin to avoid radiation leaks.
People put the blame in the child and her family, and in her "funeral" people threw things at her coffin.
Some people do things like this due to not knowing what is what. As a nuclear power plant worker, I, just as others, had to go throught many different educations.. In one class we have been told and showed what people without "education" can do. Just briefly - man found a radioactive piece and took it even though he knew it was RA. He simoly thought it good for them, that it can heal.. So he and his entiry family used that piece to rub it over the "problematic parts" of their bodies to heal. It really didnt heal.
I can imagine the "Ohh man, I will become a superheroe" thought hahaha
@@archenemeis6969 Basically, if less serious, the same thing happens when I studied IT security, you need to know how people with different levels of educations will react against an attack from hackers, the most vulnerable part of a system is people, and if data is leaked, there is a invisible potential of harm (at social levels), just like radiation at physical levels
The guy who looked into the Windscale burning reactor also said that he wasnt afraid of radiations but rather falling into it because the concrete roof he was standing was weakend by the heat !
What a madlad !

reactors can be scary but it is one of the most green and effective energy source there is and we definitely need to keep using it.
Yep, GO NUCLEAR! 💪🏼
Hell yea
Nuclear has an EROI of 14:1, and this is without considering the cost of dismantling, storing radioactive waste, and more. Building an actually safe nuclear power plant costs a lot too, and soon we won't have safe places to store nuclear waste. Already there are places where nuclear waste is stored that are in danger of water leaks or other issues, and they require constant maintenance. Hydroelectric power has an EROI of 84:1, wind has an EROI of 18:1 or 20:1 according to some sources, and photovoltaic has an EROI of 10:1 (and this is counting also older data, while photovoltaic technology is quickly improving and getting much more efficient). Considering also the risks of nuclear power, it doesn't seem like that great of an option.
If it is done well it is better than everything else
Yeah, very green.Trust...
I salute to the workers so heroically died while saving us.

Two facts about Kyshtym disaster:
- There's at least one person (maybe he's still alive) who witnessed the disaster as a boy while visiting his grandparents and then became a worker at Chernobyl plant and witnessed the disaster there
- In 2015 the authorities of Chelyabinsk (yes, that Chelyabinsk), the city nearby Mayak plant where the disaster took place, announced that the city's radiation level finally returned to normal. It took 58 years.

"There are no accidents."
Oogway
"Still not as radioactive as your breath in the morning"
Haha
Yes
Haha
That should have been the ending text.
Notice the fact that the most serious accidents were caused by the military use of nuclear power, in Sellafield the fire was in a reactor built for producing plutonium for bombs, Kyshtym was a soviet laboratory for their militar atomic project and Chernobyl was without roof because the fuel had to be changed every 5 days to get plutonium for nuclear weapons.
So I think that the real problems come when we use such a beautiful technology to harm and n ot for peaceful purposes.
You dont made plutonium by swaping rods every 5 days,... RBMK was scaled up reactor that was originaly used to made plutonium, but that does not mean it coudnt have contaiment,.. it would just be expansive, and sice every fuel rod had its own cooling what could go wrong? right?
*looks at graphite tipped rods*
"You don't see any Plutonium because it's not there"
3.6, not great, not terrible
well chernobyl was kind of save tho... the only reason why chernobyl went into a disaster is comenicing a test when they should have aborted it... and not mentioning the flaw of the AZ-5 button that it would first increase power and can make it worse when a situation is allready bad...
The sound of dosimeter is the most frightening sound one can hear.
This being because of the dramatic method of display, how radiation is be demonized, I don't think workers who use them for prospecting uranium ore find the sound frightening a bit, for them it's like spotting some gold in the bottom of that pan. They want to make a dramatic video that is entertaining, this means it's the opposite of objective which is boring and gets no views.

One of those exposed to radiation in the accident in Goiânia who survived, had spoken of the glow of the cesium 137 capsule, said:
"I fell in love with the glow of death"
Edit: eu não sabia que tinha tanto BR nesse canal hauahauahauahau caralho
Just a correction here:
The "thieves" in the Goiânia incident wasn't thieves; they were scavengers looking for junk to sell to nearby scrapyards.
And adding some facts in the Goiânia accident:
There was the case of the girl who was buried in a lead coffin (Leide das Neves Ferreira, age 6 at the time). She ate some cesium powder and died some time later. Her burial (and the burial of the another 3 who died; (1) her aunt and the (3,4) two workers of the scrapyard) was violent, with people throwing rocks and another things in the cranes who lifted the lead coffins into their graves.
The coffins weighted a half ton and the grave was filled with tons of concrete, to avoid radioactive transmission.
Sad history (forgive me for my spelling errors)
That's a thief

A addendum, in Goiânia, the people that found the radioactive thing weren't thieves, they were scrappers, looking for scraps.
visited chernobyl once on a tour thing for urbexing/urbex photography purposes, got lots of great snaps but shame so many had to die or be evicted from there. interesting place for sure
I've read about Tokaimura nuclear accident and the worst victim that was closed to the radiation is Hisashi Ouchi. You can check it out how he was look like during the treatment in hospital, 83 days fighting with death.
At thr exact moment of the accident, death had already occurred.
he's technically already dead but his soul refuse to move until 83 day later

@@echoofdawn7209 his family wouldn't sign a DNR, That was why
damn the last one was scary af dude, it gives me chills
its because of the sensationalist editing, if you look at how the fukushima reactors were designed you can see that there was very little risk of a "chernobyl-style" disaster. It took both an earthquake AND a fucking tsunami hitting those reactor buildings but because they were built to such strict safety standards a grant total of 0 people died from radiation
I love your videos. The font, the background footages, the eerie music, the final sarcasm.
Can't find final sarcasm here!
the level 5 story of the medical equipment is very similar to one that happened here on mexico long time ago, but with some radioactive variant of Cobalt.
Era Cobalto-60
And CONASUPO distributors sold radioactive milk from Ireland (where Chernobyl smoke had reached) and affected the Mexican population in 1986
You know its a good day when MRSLAV uploaded a new video😆
Yo those accidents are rad asf💀
why the fuck did this crack me up 💀
I see what you did there
Getting a job at Sellafield is like putting your name in the death note.
Reactors is dangerous but when its done right, its the greatest power source
However scientists are trying to build the first nuclear fusion
I heard its greener than reactor
By the way, respect for fukushima workers, because they saved the whole city from getting abandoned
Yes, fusion reactors are not only greener, they are the most safest energy source and produce way less amounts of waste than nuclear reactors. And the amounts of energy they produce are huge. I wonder why we dont just put everything into research of these.
@@heavvy2245 nuclear fission produces so little waste its practically a non issue anyway, although you are absolutely right
@@b4UDeanoidInnit The amount isnt the problem, it's the waste and old rods that have to be stored somewhere. Those bunkers wont last forever and the barrels are leaking at some time, poisoning the ground at some point because of the long half life most isotopes have
@@heavvy2245 The barrels an drods litterally cant leak they are solid metsl the only way they woudl leak is if they were ripped apart exploded or melted. And the radiactive waste that stops being radioactive is the most dangr while the ones that lasts centurries and millenia are lesss dangerus than the suns rays- And you also have to think of the future tech is advancing faster and faster and the waste simply does ot matter because we will be much to advanced for it to be able to become a problem before we became advanced
@@stagnant-name5851 oh boy it took me a while to read that
but let me tell you something
the half-life of most of these isotopes are of at least 50000 years and are very radioactive
and also
can you tell me how you came to the conclusion that the uv light and infrared rays from the sun which is 143 million kilometers away is more dangerous that literal gamma rays being emitted in the earth
and as for your statement that “barrels and rods can’t leak”
what do you even think radiation is
its energy leaking in form of high energy photons (both are very small)

Man Japan and Russia really don't have the greatest track record when it comes to nuclear power
What an apocalyptic music from level 7, very good video nice job
Here to explain about the worldwide famous Chernobyl incident :
In 1986, in Chernobyl Nuclear power plant aka "Lenin I" it was minutes before midnight, workers were supposed to do a reactor endurance test. The rules for the test were that the energy levels must be 700, before beeing put to the test. The current energy level of reactor was 1600, so they needed to lower it. When they were at en. level 800, the energy started to fall fast, not by 1, but by 10 or 20. The energy was now below 700, thus leading to one of the workers pressing the famous AZ-5 button, aka the SCRAM button wich surpresses any reaction that is happening in the reactor. Unfortunately, the AZ-5 was supposed to lower the rods of the reactor, but the tips of the rods were made out of Graphite, which makes the reactions multiply and accelarate. The rods of the reactor were jumping up and down, unnable to reach the core, leading to the explosion of the core it self which made the reactor top fly out of the roof because of the ammount of energy released. The Uranium particles came in contact with oxygen, making them ionized wich lead to approximately 180.000 deaths of people from Prypyat.
So just to be correct. Before the test they lowered their power output to 30 MW instead of 700 MW. There is then build-up of neutron poisons, in this case Cesium-135, coming from Xe-135, I-135 and Te-135 (poisons are fission -or decay products with a high cross-section for neutron absorption). Because they had such low power they started pulling up the control rods, to raise power (rodheight is in relation with the effective multiplier coefficient k(eff) which is the result of "fast fission factor", "resonance escape probability", "thermal use-factor", "reproduction factor", "fast retention factor", and "thermal retention factor"). Then with the increasing power they started the test where they would start the waterpumps, water absorbs neutrons, so power goes down again. They then proceed to pull up more rods (just 6 left over in core instead of 26, which is a violation of the operating limit). An automatic emergency stop then begins, so at 01u23: steam shutdown to turbine, waterflow lowers, water temperature rises, less absorption of neutrons in water, more power, creation of voids (neutrons can travel in voids without interacting, so no moderating aka slowing down, losing energy), more power, neutron poisons burn, more power. Then the SCRAM button was pressed at 01u23.45, all of the rods became stuck at 1/3 of their cours due to the first explosion causes by the voids. Chain reaction could not be stopped, power increases, melting of the fuels, pressure increases, which lead to steam explosion, which blew off the 1000 ton cover. Making the fuel and their decay products in contact with the outside world. Contact with oxygen makes the graphite moderator burn. The flaw in their design is the relative lack in protection, and the positive moderator temperature coefficient. For safety reasons you are required to work with an under moderated reactor, with negative fast reactivity coefficient, these are the moderator temperature coefficient and the void-fraction coefficient.

Those in the L5 Goiania Incident were not thieves, they collected disposed reclyclyng material to sell them to make money. They found this radiotherapy machine in a demolished and abandoned building which was obviously disposed in an absolutely innapropriate way. Those people who brought the glowing material home were totally clueless about what they got in their hands and the following events were tragic. I recommend Kyle Hill video about the Goiania Incient.

Nice video! Thanks
So I’m guessing/ supposing that Chernobyl was actually the worst.
It spread the most radiation and spread it further.
Not only has the plant never restarted, But the area is still highly contaminated to this day.
Number of people who eventually died due to diseases stemming from radiation poisoning is possibly in the tens of thousands I’m guessing.
Anyone have estimates on that ?
according to the UN and the WHO, the effective death count of the Chernobyl disaster does not exceed 4'000 casualties, although that number has been esteemed to be too high. And yeah, it is in no way comparable to Fukushima, since only one person there died to ARS, while the other victims died because of evacuation stress (most of them were elderly).
1 the planet has recovered 2. only certain areas are highly contaminated. 3. the spread was not as serious as people actually believe it was. it did not really spread around the world that much. and i don't know exact numbers of casualties but there where not that many of the liquidators that died from it. most of them killed themselves by thinking they where already gona die so they stopped taking care of themselves and just lived very day to the fullest. and a alcoholic in USA is just like the average Russian who drinks so you can imagine how much a Russian alcoholic can drink. i myself am from Estonia and know how damn much eastern European people can drink when they are not already thinking they are gona die
@@rampage3337 I'll call BS on that. Radiation was detected as far as eastern Europe & even nordic countries. Infact , some years back we had reports in our country regarding contamination of mushrooms & meats due to chernobyl. The problem is , we cannot place a certain number on death toll, because in most cases radiation causes spike in cancer rates. We can only get estimates after analyzing the deaths directly due to disaster.

What if we reutilize the nuclear waste like plutonium and transforming into a nuclear battery? Or instead using uranium we can use thorium instead. Some of you can tell me why we can't?
So Plutonium actually is not just waste. For instance a reactor fueled by natural uranium (0,7% U-235 and 99,3% U-238) has little fissile U-235. This is the isotope of Uranium that is used for fission (U-233 can also be used but therefore there needs to be neutron absorption in Th-232). U can see almost everything 99,3% is fertile U-238, fertile meaning it can not be used by fission, only if get a neutron absorbing reaction it can become fissile. U-238 absorbs a neutron, becoming fissile Plutonium-239. This is used as fuel, so not waste. I know that Pu-238, Pu-240 are fertile. Nuclear waste is mainly the fission products which then decay further and are Te-135, I-135, Xe-135, Cs-135, Ba-135, Sr-90. U can look up the relative yield of fission products in function of their atomic number, this graph has almost no dependency of the incoming neutron energy and the nuclide which is used in fission. So the fission products are always around these elements.
For the second part u are talking about Molten Salt Reactors I think? So I don't know that much about them but I know that they use the fertile isotope of Thorium, Th-232 as fuel to absorb a neutron to become U-233. So technically u can call them U-233 reactors. Also with the hot salts in MSR's your components of the reactor are harder to manufacture due to the corrosion that it causes, currently there is no such components that can withstand these, if I am not mistaking.
@@larsxrymenants OK thanks for the information bro, but i was questioning why we can't use radioactive waste as a nuclear battery like plutonium batteries as a example.
