These are very very rough estimates and conversions but hopefully it will help people understand that it's not "that bad" Also he switches between Gamma and Alpha detectors and contacts surfaces with them several time so the accuracy of the readings may not be the best.

@@thehulkamaniabrother2.089 It's the most relevant in this situation, since gamma can travel quite far, and go through minor obstables like gloves and PPE. It can come up from under the water as well. It can even pass right through a human, causing molecular damage as it goes. Beta wasn't mentioned, but again that's only very dangerous if it is ingested/inhaled. However beta can go through the skin/thin gloves into the body, but from close range only - handling something that emits beta for example. Alpha and Beta would be very dangerous in a dust form. But since everything in that lab is saturated with water, there's very little dust.

Boxes contain firemen/liquidator clothes. Strong radioactivity is because the boots have mud that has small particles of reactor core graphite. Also other clothes have lots of dirty particles.
19:30 there is a hinge on that box and it’s filled with sand that’s a moderator and shield of radiation the fire mans boot is supposed to be Buried in the sand and the box closed.
to be fair: at the time of the release of this video, the radiation levels in the zone have decreased by approximately 97% in most areas. really, the only incredibly dangerous no-go zones where life is physicaly impossible is around reactor 4; around reactor 4 the nuclear decay of the melted down reactor itself is causing constant gamma radiation exposure. dust in some of the areas around zone 4 will actualy kill you almost imediatly if you inhale it... actualy, radiation usualy takes months or years to kill someone after exposure. once you intake a lethal amount of radiation you are dead... its just a matter of time.
@@harbselectronicslab3551 not exactly. Radiation also affects semiconductors (thus image sensors). Usually the glass lens shield, but what we saw here meant that there was extremely high radiation.
This is 36 years later and the boot is still at 1 roentgen. And like you said, you could SEE high energy particles impacting the sensor. Keep in mind, too, it takes a lot to do that to a modern camera sensor - a lot of the flashes seen on '86 era cameras recording the disaster wouldn't have shown up on a modern one. How radioactive must that have been when the firefighter wearing that stepped into it when it was fresh? Hard to tell with half-lives and all the different elements that were thrown off, but to be that high almost four decades later I imagine the person who wore that boot when it was new didn't make it a month. Guessing 1,000 - 5,000 r/hr or more. When they measured Chernobyl near the reactor at 15,000 that was a few days later and the nastiest stuff has a half life hours/days...but the fire fighters were there within hours. I imagine the within a few hundred square feet of where they measured 15,000 you could find two, four, sixteen times that 15,000 right after the lid popped. Makes me think that boot belonged to one of the more celebrated heroes of this tragedy. His name is probably known and he went down in history as one of the first to perish from his efforts to get the disaster under control.
@@angry_zergling scary thing is his dosimeter only went upto 1 because thats all the machine reads. it is likely much higher id imagine! There was another channel i forget the name of but she actually open the boxes and dug around reading everything with better equipment , she was actually the one who put the boot up there 10 years earlier! it was on top of the metal cabinet before that :/ but weird to see so much time past and see it again on another channel as it was just about
Its all fake. Those glass vials and containers are all new, clean and have no grime or mold on them. The radiation in those labs would be negligible at this point and their dosimeters use CPM readouts and 400 cpm is nothing. You need about 3000cpm to reach chest xray levels. This entire channel is over hyping an area that while still radioactive, is no longer "hot" and can be explored without suits. The only area that needs consistent monitoring for radiation absorption levels and accumulation is coming within 400m of reactor 4. Everywhere else is just above safe levels but would takes years of exposure to affect you.
I've never seen anything like this, absolutely crazy that it is just left open like that. How exciting. Very dangerous with all those leaked chemicals and radioactive materials spilled into the water, you couldn't possibly predict the corrosive properties.

It's apparently Alpha radiation that fails at even penetrating human skin. But ingested would be a problem. Also, knowing how CCD's (camera sensors) work, it's sick. It's basically a charged-particle visualizer :o
The speckles randomly all over the image are from the radiation hitting the camera sensor pixels. The original footage at the power plant has the same effect so you know you are in a hot spot when you see random pixel flashes on screen.
@22:08 , the 'artifacts' are the white dots that appear on the screen. These are radioactive atoms hitting the camera sensor and registering the hit as a point of light. I.E. The many white dots visible when the camera is close.
@@pootersnacks Over the long term, probably. Most of the team is different now, but a while ago they were experimenting with an x-ray device too.. someone's going to get cancer in a few decades because of that
Guys, that was dangerous. Next time use proper FFP3 masks and make sure they fit properly. They are but a few bucks more expensive than the FFP1 stuff you've been wearing and hopefully adequate if you expect to encounter very dangerous dust like radioactive waste.
@@tonypuertollano9375 that's not how it's done, but it could work. As a bare minimum you can use FFP3 mask, gloves and these white costumes. The gloves don't need to be thick, they just need to keep the particles from touching the skin. To manipulate radioactive material, you need to use these 0.5meter long pliers (really dangerous operation especially if you have no clue, my advice is don't even go near radioactive material) and a Geiger counter with long probe- or one on a stick if a proper one is unavailable. All PPE needs to be removed and disposed properly as it is radioactive. At the very least it needs to be removed properly as not to contaminate them.
"It is forbidden to eat in the room where the work is carried out with radiation, don't forget to keep your hands and work cloths clean." WOW, this is really interesting and scary, thank you love you :)
"The paper is not glowing, turn out the light" *Turns off light* it's not working, meanwhile..... you can see the camera picking up the radiation at 20:59 pause the video and you can see the pin-pricks of blue, green, purple, and yellow that looks like it is static, but is the light censor trying to make sense of the high energy light particles of alpha and gamma radiation hitting it. Also, look for the same effect when we get a close-up of the boot, at 22:03 . This shows even brighter pin-pricks some are now even white in color meaning they are higher energy.
Another TH-camr named bionerd23 put that boot there and was digging through that same sand with a shovel 10 years ago. There was no water on the floor at the time. I do feel her crew took somewhat better precautions, but this is more entertaining with better cameras, lighting, and radiation meters. Never thought I'd see all that same stuff in another video again!
At 22:10 you can very clearly see artefacts from radiation on the phone camera as small white dots. That's some creepy and dangerous stuff. I'm glad I can watch this savely from my home.
Guys, you are legends. In my younger days I would have loved to get my hands on those chemicals to experiment with. I did things like boiling car battery acid until it was like treacle and experimenting with it, which sometimes gave a violent reaction. No safety goggles - the foolishness of youth. So glad I survived with eyes intact.
Howdy from Texas! It would be cool to go back to Jupiter lab and collect that paper. I'd heard stories on how irradiated the firefighter's clothing was, that was absolutely crazy. Hope y'all are ok, that was a big risk.
1:30 - that is a heat exchanger. A cooling fluid is circulated through radiators that are exposed to moving air. The goal is to transfer heat from the cooling fluid to the air. The rate of heat exchange is determined by the relative rates of coolant flow, air flow and how many cooling fans are recruited at a given time. Usually those fans are implemented in an all up condition, then shut down, depending upon wanted temperature changes to the coolant. In some sophisticated systems the fans are turned on and off to spare wear and tear. This is known as "cycling". Other systems use Variable Frequency devices (aka Adjustable Speed devices) to vary the speed of the fan itself. The Soviets probably don't use such systems. They are not that commonly used today.
for this instance, the only thing that would work is a full face respirator fitted to be air tight. there would either need to be an enclosed air supply, or filters rated for Nucler Biological Radiolical and Chemical. you would also need to wear disposable clothes, a white suit with head cover, and a full rubber suit. no dust particles can come in contact with your skin at any point. this place is radiocative... but not that bad.
i hope the apartment is being looked after and if they have been mean you leave a note and tell them off because mean people don't deserve a nice place.. you worked hard on that for many people as well as yourself some people just mean ,, these videos are good and scary to some and cool to others you all do a good job thanks for the videos and keep up the good work
Comrade is so knowledgeable about everything it seems! Whether it be chemicals, what things are used for, machinery, history, what places used to be e ct ect seems like a good man to keep round
Some facts: (Sv = Sievert / mSv = milliSievert / µSv = microSievert) 4-5 Sv is the dose required to kill a human with a 50% risk within 30 days (LD50/30), if the dose is received over a very short duration. 1 Sv: Maximum allowed radiation exposure for NASA astronauts over their career 670 mSv: Highest dose received by a worker responding to the Fukushima emergency 80 mSv: 6-month stay on the International Space Station 10-30 mSv: Single full-body CT scan 6.2 mSv/a: The average annual radiation dose per person in the U.S. 2.4 mSv/a: (270 nSv/h avg) Human exposure to natural background radiation, global average 5-10 μSv: One set of dental radiographs Exposure to 100 mSv a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer risk is clearly evident. A cumulative 1,000 mSv (1 Sievert) would probably cause a fatal cancer many years later in five out of every 100 persons exposed to it. Bananas are radioactive! They contain tiny quantities of naturally occurring Potassium-40, as do Brazil nuts, which also contain Radium-226. A bag of Brazil nuts has a dose of about 10 microsieverts. Don't worry, you'd need to eat many thousands to get sick.
It was an unused block of graphite. The dosimeter Alex is carrying would have been going crazy if this was a block from the NPP. Also it's intact so almost 100% sure it is not from the NPP.
Search youtube for (chernobyl 2012 II: radioactive secrets of the zone - the plutonium laboratory) it's a more thorough walk through and shows the graphite block etc.
at 22:03 and after it you see those white dots appearing in the dark area's, these show that the boot is actually rally radioactive, because those white dots you see are actually collisions from the radioactive radiation, you can also see them with your eye, more easily even. filming right into a active reactor in the same room as the beam also made the camera show those dots really clearly.
Soil samples were sent from here in the UK and even Ireland because the contamination of the explosion was felt across Europe and in the spirit of cooperation Britain allowed the Russians to take samples from high and low ground and also access to radiology tables that record background radiations here.
I think one important critical option to protection was eye wear moisture & dust easily enters eye lids almost makes me think that all the other protective gear is basically unhelpful I believe our eyes absorb air chemical particles the quickest and easiest

if you are caught taking something from the exclusion zone the punishments are far more severe if you get caught just "stalking" you will probably get off lightly but if you have something from inside you are in big trouble
Even more than that boot, I'd be afraid of those rusty chemical shelves collapsing while I stood there and spilling all kinds of stuff in the water and air.
The box with the individual boxes inside would be radioactive samples of known reactivity and extremely long half life intended for calibrating the radiation detection equipment, geiger counters, friskers etc.
At first, I thought it said 'secret Jupiter PLANET', and I was impressed that you had made it to another planet, especially one with such high gravity. There's an idea for your next video.
13:10 it's powdered licorice root. I wonder what use they had it for? 18:07 these gloves won't protect you from radioactive particles, but they'll keep the contaminated materials out (provided they von't break). I'd don them before touching anything in the zone.
Altdough the place is in a terrible condition, it probably isn't near as dangerous and mystic as it looks. From the lab equipments shown, it appears to be a laboratory for enviromental analytic chemistry and has no synthetic or radiological research purpose. The high amount of mainly inorganic materials you can see on the shelfs are all used for classical chemical analysis of soil samples. Nowdays it requiers less chemicals, because the LC-MS, GC-MS, ICP-MS or AAS/AES instruments are make the whole process much easyer. Back in the 70s and 80s, when this lab was active, they had to run trough the samples on a variety of reactions to measure the quantity of ecah elements in intrest. After all, it interesting to see, that they tried to monitor the emmissions of the power plant, even before the accident.
Hmm. I didn't think the radiation would affect digital cameras, I always thought that was more of a film issue, but when touched the phone right to the boot, boy oh boy was there static 😬 great video guys, stay safe, and many thank yous!
It does affect digital sensors as well. Its the actual particals impaxting the sensor. So each little particle is ejected from the object and recorded like light impacting the sensor. Too many will irrepairably damage the sensor.
if you taste metal in your mouth LEAVE IMMEDIATELY its because of the radiation (and the dosimeter was litterally breaking when you brought it near the boot)
Lol when you guys pulled out the condenser for wet chemistry. Those bad boys get attached to flasks and have separate layers so you can run cold water through the outer part of the tube, while your reaction takes place in the middle of the tube. No telling what chemicals were actually in that lab if it looks like that.
Well now I know where I need to go next time I visit the zone ;) strange how the boots in the hospital basement weren’t nearly as radioactive as that one.
6:00 Bruh, that's a graphite block directly from an RMBK reactor's fuel and control rods, wtf. 25:37 How many X-Rays did you do today? An X-Ray is 0.1msv, 1000msv=1sv. You subjected yourselves to about 1 Roentgen's worth of radiation, which is equivalent to about 107.19sv. Considering all that, I say you easily met your radiation quota for the year. I'll let the mathematicians in the comments figure out the exact math. But on the wrongful assumption you were around it for about an hour, it would be over a 1,000.
@@Pakkotehdataapska yes at that spot if they stood there an hour it would be 1Sv. But they were there very shortly. Also at the other places it wasn't really that dangerous. They're fine.
That's scary. I can't believe you kept going when the alarm on your meter was going off and the numbers were so high. 😱 How close were you to a fatal dose?
@@800ismyluckynumber No, the meter that was reading super high with the red number was detecting alpha particles. Alpha is the least penetrating radiation. It can be stopped by a sheet of paper, or human skin. So only really dangerous if they were to eat some of that boot. If alpha emitters get inside of you, then you do have a problem.

Also, look for the same effect when we get a close-up of the boot, at 22:03 . This shows even brighter pin-pricks some are now even white in color meaning they are higher energy.
As a chemist.... this is terrifying.
It really is they could have Cheronobly Part 2 with one flick of a flame
As a human, this is terrifying lol
I thought you'd find it exciting as a chemist. Clearly you run by the books. Not a backyard scientist, eh?
Sulfurous anhydride that is what oleum is made from. Do not drop.
Right
Another TH-camr named bionerd23 put that boot there and was digging through that same sand with a shovel 10 years ago. There was no water on the floor at the time. I do feel her crew took somewhat better precautions, but this is more entertaining with better cameras, lighting, and radiation meters. Never thought I'd see all that same stuff in another video again!
Any idea what happened to Bionerd? I made her a small lithium iodide neutron counter probe that fits ludlum or eberline counters way back in 2014.
@@christopherleubner6633 it looked like she had some kind of serious cancer, I don't think she's alive anymore
You can even see the interference spots due to the radiation in minute 22, amazing!!!
I feel like I got radiation sickness watching this lol, fricken nuts
At 22:10 you can very clearly see artefacts from radiation on the phone camera as small white dots.
That's some creepy and dangerous stuff. I'm glad I can watch this savely from my home.
"why do I taste metal" is a way more bone chilling statement than people realize
Are these different voices again? Just when I get used to the new ones
Lol @ "It's better than 2M"
0:42 But you guys went there once with vadim and Anton you know the swimming mushroom and the graphite block. LüL
That car door will offer superior protection.
Guys, you are legends. In my younger days I would have loved to get my hands on those chemicals to experiment with. I did things like boiling car battery acid until it was like treacle and experimenting with it, which sometimes gave a violent reaction. No safety goggles - the foolishness of youth. So glad I survived with eyes intact.
Howdy from Texas! It would be cool to go back to Jupiter lab and collect that paper. I'd heard stories on how irradiated the firefighter's clothing was, that was absolutely crazy. Hope y'all are ok, that was a big risk.
What part of Texas? I’m in Galveston!
@@rcnitrodude999 Brenham, home of Blue Bell Ice Cream!
It's not irradiated, it's contaminated. Irradiating something does not make it radioactive unless it's neutrons and that's not a thing there.
1:30 - that is a heat exchanger. A cooling fluid is circulated through radiators that are exposed to moving air. The goal is to transfer heat from the cooling fluid to the air.
The rate of heat exchange is determined by the relative rates of coolant flow, air flow and how many cooling fans are recruited at a given time. Usually those fans are implemented in an all up condition, then shut down, depending upon wanted temperature changes to the coolant.
In some sophisticated systems the fans are turned on and off to spare wear and tear. This is known as "cycling".
Other systems use Variable Frequency devices (aka Adjustable Speed devices) to vary the speed of the fan itself. The Soviets probably don't use such systems. They are not that commonly used today.
Yes, indeed 3M is superior to 2M ... but you should try 4M for max protection ... :-)
for this instance, the only thing that would work is a full face respirator fitted to be air tight. there would either need to be an enclosed air supply, or filters rated for Nucler Biological Radiolical and Chemical.
you would also need to wear disposable clothes, a white suit with head cover, and a full rubber suit.
no dust particles can come in contact with your skin at any point.
this place is radiocative... but not that bad.
We should take time to appreciate the voice over work of all these characters, most channels would not take the time to do this
I would have preferred subtitles over the tiktok voiceovers tbh
i hope the apartment is being looked after and if they have been mean you leave a note and tell them off because mean people don't deserve a nice place.. you worked hard on that for many people as well as yourself some people just mean ,, these videos are good and scary to some and cool to others you all do a good job thanks for the videos and keep up the good work
its all good fun cool scaRy stuff :)
It was a whole hard work from true heart of Dima and Anton. But now it is totally destroyed.
Comrade is so knowledgeable about everything it seems! Whether it be chemicals, what things are used for, machinery, history, what places used to be e ct ect seems like a good man to keep round
true but sometimes he is just bullshitting for jokes
No gloves, no suits and a car door as a shield... Safety culture hasn't changed I see
Some facts:
(Sv = Sievert / mSv = milliSievert / µSv = microSievert)
4-5 Sv is the dose required to kill a human with a 50% risk within 30 days (LD50/30), if the dose is received over a very short duration.
1 Sv: Maximum allowed radiation exposure for NASA astronauts over their career
670 mSv: Highest dose received by a worker responding to the Fukushima emergency
80 mSv: 6-month stay on the International Space Station
10-30 mSv: Single full-body CT scan
6.2 mSv/a: The average annual radiation dose per person in the U.S.
2.4 mSv/a: (270 nSv/h avg) Human exposure to natural background radiation, global average
5-10 μSv: One set of dental radiographs
Exposure to 100 mSv a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer risk is clearly evident. A cumulative 1,000 mSv (1 Sievert) would probably cause a fatal cancer many years later in five out of every 100 persons exposed to it.
Bananas are radioactive!
They contain tiny quantities of naturally occurring Potassium-40, as do Brazil nuts, which also contain Radium-226. A bag of Brazil nuts has a dose of about 10 microsieverts.
Don't worry, you'd need to eat many thousands to get sick.
18:30 that was crazy!
14:29 "last time sasha created antimatter here but it exploded" lmao
Guys, would you please get back there and measure the radiation on that graphite block? That would be really interesting imho.
Love your videos!
Wasn't graphite i think, or they won't be able to upload the video or exit that basement
It was an unused block of graphite. The dosimeter Alex is carrying would have been going crazy if this was a block from the NPP. Also it's intact so almost 100% sure it is not from the NPP.
The graphite block was around 0.7msv/h
Search youtube for (chernobyl 2012 II: radioactive secrets of the zone - the plutonium laboratory) it's a more thorough walk through and shows the graphite block etc.
@@NakiNinja5000 Its not freaking 0.7 mSv
23:22 the famous line that is used in the Chernobyl series that ended bad for people lol 👀
I want the OG voice actors back 😑
23:22 Tasting metal is normal when you are near to enormous radiation
Normal but not good lol
You could see the camera image was sparkling when it was near the radioactive boot. The radiation was affecting the cameras image sensor... 22:11
I would rather vacation as a stalker than as a tourist.
I plan to go in summer
Stalkers ar tourist in a different way 😅
23:22 "Why do I taste metal in my mouth"
You are crazy xD
imagining those stands rotting away and all those chemicals ending up in the water..
at 22:03 and after it you see those white dots appearing in the dark area's, these show that the boot is actually rally radioactive, because those white dots you see are actually collisions from the radioactive radiation, you can also see them with your eye, more easily even. filming right into a active reactor in the same room as the beam also made the camera show those dots really clearly.
Soil samples were sent from here in the UK and even Ireland because the contamination of the explosion was felt across Europe and in the spirit of cooperation Britain allowed the Russians to take samples from high and low ground and also access to radiology tables that record background radiations here.
I think one important critical option to protection was eye wear moisture & dust easily enters eye lids almost makes me think that all the other protective gear is basically unhelpful I believe our eyes absorb air chemical particles the quickest and easiest
I hope you guys live a happy and long life considering the fact you guys went this far for us
Between the exclusion zone and that x-ray emitter they were playing with a while ago, Alex better hope he's not sterile, going to get cancer, or both
Thank you Kreosan for your great videos and great ideas. Please more!!! Great respect from Jan/ Germany

these dudes are some of my favorite youtubers, kinda question how real some of it sometimes but i mean. shits legendary. ide be willing to pay for one of those business cards. honestly ide buy almost any souvenir from Chernobyl you guys pick up lol
Yeah same there’s some money to be made here
I’ve wondered for a long time why they don’t sell some of these treasures. But they are doing the right thing to preserve it I guess.
It's supposed to stop radioactive items being sold and harming people. I love these guys but they are foolish and could spread contamination..,😊❤️
if you are caught taking something from the exclusion zone the punishments are far more severe if you get caught just "stalking" you will probably get off lightly but if you have something from inside you are in big trouble
Even more than that boot, I'd be afraid of those rusty chemical shelves collapsing while I stood there and spilling all kinds of stuff in the water and air.
“It’s okay. It’s radiation!”- sums up these guys pretty well.
I wouldn’t go down in there for no amount of money. Those were some scary radiation readings.
I would lick the boot for 50$ XD
Meanwhile I’m kinda bummed I didn’t check this out while I was there haha. I’ve seen higher readings so I wouldn’t mind it there.
I’ll go for free. Just sponsor my trip and i drink a bottle of chemicals at you choice
The box with the individual boxes inside would be radioactive samples of known reactivity and extremely long half life intended for calibrating the radiation detection equipment, geiger counters, friskers etc.
At first, I thought it said 'secret Jupiter PLANET', and I was impressed that you had made it to another planet, especially one with such high gravity. There's an idea for your next video.
22:11 you can see pov camera played slow. the radiation particuls . thousands of white dots if you look at the close up
definitely lost 5-10 years on this one
13:10 it's powdered licorice root. I wonder what use they had it for?
18:07 these gloves won't protect you from radioactive particles, but they'll keep the contaminated materials out (provided they von't break). I'd don them before touching anything in the zone.
Wow the chemicals in that laboratory are so incredible and potentially toxic. That is really an entire chemistry lab 😳
"Look! 1 rotgen!"
"Why do I taste metal?"
lmao
The car door is handy, if you get hot you can always wind down the window.
Altdough the place is in a terrible condition, it probably isn't near as dangerous and mystic as it looks. From the lab equipments shown, it appears to be a laboratory for enviromental analytic chemistry and has no synthetic or radiological research purpose. The high amount of mainly inorganic materials you can see on the shelfs are all used for classical chemical analysis of soil samples. Nowdays it requiers less chemicals, because the LC-MS, GC-MS, ICP-MS or AAS/AES instruments are make the whole process much easyer. Back in the 70s and 80s, when this lab was active, they had to run trough the samples on a variety of reactions to measure the quantity of ecah elements in intrest.
After all, it interesting to see, that they tried to monitor the emmissions of the power plant, even before the accident.
Hmm. I didn't think the radiation would affect digital cameras, I always thought that was more of a film issue, but when touched the phone right to the boot, boy oh boy was there static 😬
great video guys, stay safe, and many thank yous!
The image radiation interference is real and scary
It does affect digital sensors as well. Its the actual particals impaxting the sensor. So each little particle is ejected from the object and recorded like light impacting the sensor. Too many will irrepairably damage the sensor.
You can look up video of robots that went inside fukashima and see how it effects digital cameras
That wasnt static mate that was the cameras sensor getting smashed in with particles.
@@JtagSheep right... visually representing itself in the form of static on the video.
For the phone catch radiation you need to turn off all light to see it
That's some exposure! They'll be glowing by the end of the month, guarantee it.
There's still a ban on sheep meat on a Welsh farm in Wales uk from fallout of Chernobyl contaminating the grass
You guys are CRAZY 👊
especially @22:10
if you taste metal in your mouth LEAVE IMMEDIATELY its because of the radiation (and the dosimeter was litterally breaking when you brought it near the boot)
This is probably the first time I ever seen them wear any sort of protection wow
Lol when you guys pulled out the condenser for wet chemistry. Those bad boys get attached to flasks and have separate layers so you can run cold water through the outer part of the tube, while your reaction takes place in the middle of the tube. No telling what chemicals were actually in that lab if it looks like that.
If that shelf of chemicals fell in the water, it would make for interesting times. Good video guys!
22:03 Thats super cool the camera detects radiation.
18:55 You can use that boot to give electricity power in a whole town 😛
Wht is ur pfp
Nice video, u lot are crazy 😜
Amazing to see the fireman’s boot!
Can’t believe the apartment was 2 years ago…
These guys are going to start to glow
Well now I know where I need to go next time I visit the zone ;) strange how the boots in the hospital basement weren’t nearly as radioactive as that one.
13:09 That's not Polish, it's in Latin. In Polish it means "Korzeń lukrecji sproszkowany" :)
“Holly Molly” is my new favorite exclamation😂
I'm glad the previous voice changed... that one was an absolute disaster lol, still miss the original one though
22:14 omg the camera sensor starts to burn out by the radiation levels i had heard of this now i see it in practice
u can see white dots on screen damn guys o.0
that's a hell guys
"Guys, last time we made anti-matter here, but we can't show you", righttttt I believe you, lol you need a particle collider for that, lol
You guys are great! 3M, better than 2M! I have been binge watching all your videos, 💙 Alex get out of there! Don't get radioactive! Brave!
Yes, I thought the 3M is better than 2M comment was hilarious 🤪
them little white dots on the camera is the scariest thing i have seen them do
6:00 Bruh, that's a graphite block directly from an RMBK reactor's fuel and control rods, wtf.
25:37 How many X-Rays did you do today? An X-Ray is 0.1msv, 1000msv=1sv. You subjected yourselves to about 1 Roentgen's worth of radiation, which is equivalent to about 107.19sv. Considering all that, I say you easily met your radiation quota for the year. I'll let the mathematicians in the comments figure out the exact math. But on the wrongful assumption you were around it for about an hour, it would be over a 1,000.
Bruh didn't have that much radiation.
@@willemgijs3803 based on what?
If you're tasting metal, you're getting a lot.
@@CerberusProject they like to exaggerate a lot.
Your math isn't correct. 107.19 Sv would be a very fatal dose.
@@Pakkotehdataapska yes at that spot if they stood there an hour it would be 1Sv. But they were there very shortly. Also at the other places it wasn't really that dangerous. They're fine.
Omfg that graphite block was probably super killer radioactive
love seeing these videos when they pop up, they're so interesting..keep up the good work
When the fireman's boot filled my entire tv screen i felt anxious for a second or two 😅
I dont know much about radiation, but this seems incredibly stupid. :/ Very interesting, but Ive heard radiation sickness and death is quite awful.
you new here?
@@Tlavite lmao
this is the best narrating you have had yet. Nice video. Keep up the good work and be safe.
That's scary. I can't believe you kept going when the alarm on your meter was going off and the numbers were so high. 😱 How close were you to a fatal dose?
Probably way over than the lethal dose already lol
@@800ismyluckynumber No, the meter that was reading super high with the red number was detecting alpha particles. Alpha is the least penetrating radiation. It can be stopped by a sheet of paper, or human skin. So only really dangerous if they were to eat some of that boot. If alpha emitters get inside of you, then you do have a problem.
@@blackhawks81H That's true, but the gamma reading was also very high, so it was still quite dangerous.
Wow now seeing the artifacts on the camera from the fireman’s boot you guys are crazier than I even thought
Im suprised that these guys dont glow in dark! :D
It was in milli for gamma. It was reading 78 on the bottom of the shoe at 24:20. That’s almost 5 CT scans per hour. So it’s really not safe.
