Been there before the tourism boom from the TV series. It is quite interesting. I recommend it. However, I get the feeling it isn't really possible to do UrbX there anymore. When I went, already some years ago, it was already quite regulated and controlled. Most guides (obligatory) came with buses, big groups and you aren't allowed to go anywhere. We had the chance to have a guide that would keep security "busy" a few more adventurous people from our group could walk around. Until part of a building's rotten floor nearly collapsed that is :)

It was not a "routine test" as the narrator said. The operators were performing a first-time evolution to experiment if they could achieve the necessary power required to maintain the primary equipment for core cooling in service from the power solely generated from the rolling turbine (after the plant's main power was shut off). They were testing to see if the spinning turbine could continue to cool the core during a loss of off-site power event, prior to needing to run the emergency diesel generators. So no, this was not a routine test and it was not properly planned for.
Nope, it was not the first time. It was the fourth time. And they were testing capability that was supposed to be part of the reactor's overall design. Also your characterization of the test is incorrect. The RBMK was already provided with backup power in the event of a blackout condition. Upon loss of off-site power the inertia from the main circulation pumps' counterweights would provide enough voltage to bridge the gap to diesel generator startup. The turbine inertia rundown procedure was needed ONLY if a blackout coincided with the rupture of a 900mm coolant pipe (a design-basis accident). This is an important distinction, because it meant that according to regulations, a failure of the test did not threaten any interruption in coolant supply. Unfortunately for them, the reactor did not at all resemble the reactor described in the regulations. Seems like only a few dozen people in the West understand any of this, which goes to show the dreadful state of public knowledge on the subject.
I really don't want to sound unintelligent. But I've pondered this for several minutes now. What do you mean? Could you please elaborate? Thanks for your time
Hello Vice. You should interview Kreosan. They know everything about Pripyat town... hidden places, interesting abandoned place, secret military research facilities, even how to be a stalker. They also had swim in reactor no.5
What I learned: 1: They went there to check for radioactivity, but were only allowed to fly in areas already known not to be radioactive. 2: Despite seeing the drone's light reflecting on the water in the cooling pool, they were able to confirm the pool to be "completely empty". Neat.
Regarding the second point it seems that he was referring to the pool being empty but only from a point of containing radioactive material not whether it had water in it
This video is very misleading. This is not the actual nuclear plant, let alone the exploded reactor. This is an unfinished reactor building not even connected to the Chernobyl plant. The building is just a concrete construction site. No danger for short visits. Tourists go to that building all the time.
If I’m not mistaken he states that initially they were there to perform a technical test on an outlying building, but when they arrived they were asked to image reactor 5 (which as you mention was not completed) as to prove that radioactive material had not been stored there and I assume to allow the pilot the opportunity to gather a better understanding of the terrain for potential future inspections of the destroyed reactors.
This was a very interesting video, albeit very short. Vice should consider doing an in-depth video with this drone pilot to provide the viewer with more information about Chernobyl Nuclear plant: I am certain that it would make for a very interesting documentary.
If you want an in-depth documentary about the power plant... a drone operator isn't your guy. He just got hired to fly a drone around the place. He's not a nuclear engineer. Or a historian. He knows how to fly drones.
Yeah, I remember how scary the kids' program 'Sendung mit der Maus' was, when they had their radiation special. Parts of Germany, mainly the South, still have higher levels of radiation.
doing sewer inspections usually with a camera driving in it but those drones are kind of a new technology for us aswell. in fact those are the same ones we are using for doing that. nice to see it can withstand radioactivity
Vice never stopped making this kind of content. I don’t get why people act like they’re docs stopped being in the original vein of Vice. Most stuff they put out is always boots on ground
As part of a private tour we were “allowed” to explore unit 5 for a few hours. This is really weird to watch, seeing the drone fly down into chambers that we climbed through.
@@Guydude8888 lol. Pretty sure many drone free people explore the unfinished unit everyday still, there are enough videos online, or least they climb its stairs to get the awesome view of the rest of the plant. Biggest danger there is probably falling down one of the many deep holes in the concrete rather than any radiation.
@@fettsack4544 I don't speak sputnik brother 😬, unless you're asking me if I visited Nevada in that case I guess you're right I have been to the moon landing
One thing no one ever brings up is the few hundred people that stayed behind in Chernobyl. I believe there's still a few there now that they couldn't force to leave.
I wanted to say it's ridiculous clowning level where they try to make it sound like they needed the drone because of safety when you can just walk into the abandoned Reactor 5 buildings that they explored here.
@@zolikoff I guess not all of the Reactor 5 building can be accessed easily - while the main hall can be entered, the structures below it might be a bit complicated. So, although the drone might have been needed and the building itself is in no doubt contaminated at some places, it is unclear for me too why this level of hype was needed.
@@ajurjans True, drone can be useful to look into some tighter spaces, but all the more reason to go into the building yourself and ensure you have a good close connection to your drone at all times, maybe even a wire so you can fish it back out if it loses signal or battery or anything.
I want to see more about that exploration in Greenland. I wonder how the drone needs to be modified if at all to fly in such low temperatures. Is the battery life just shorter? Obviously I want to know about the data that was collected there too.
I must say that that's awesome. the technology that has occurred in my lifetime has been so much more than i expected. I knew when i got my first computer that the world around me would change quickly and that i would embrace it........ and i have. congratulations future generations.......you'll get to see what i've only dreamed about but I'm starting to see it in my lifetime and i like it. God luck from an old hippy. Thanks.................
I was kind of hoping to hear more information about what is inside Chernobyl, rather than the drone and how cool it is. It's cool that the drone is robust enough to handle it, but they repeated it so many times rather than talking about what information was found inside of Chernobyl.
it wasn't a routine test. They were testing if they could run the pumps with inertia in the event of a power grid failure and the time when the generators came on
Anyone else notice the drone shots in the begging are the same as one of call of duty MW2019 that was in the loading screen? like a couple months ago(last year)
Wonder if they spotted any Monolith Forces converging near Radar or the CNPP and Jupiter. Anyone looking for work hit up the 100 Rads bar and Sidorivich is paying top rubble for any captured Military Drones 😆 Stay Frosty out there my fellow S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S.
I need this job! I already try to explore on my own but with hiking. That caged drone is so useful, Holly crap, you can study so many situations that otherwise would need a expedition crew.
To think az-5 (aka scram button or the emergency shutdown switch) which seems to be an ordinary button under normal circumstances could cause a 20,000 year long nuclear disaster. An entire area of almost 20 miles will remain a time capsule that no man can go and touch or remove.
Is there any way we can see how reactor 4 looks from the inside, like the place where the explosion happened and maybe the Elephant's Foot and the roof with graphite debris? Maybe some drone good enough to capture all those highly radioactive areas.
I would have liked to see the corium, the 'elephants foot', it's basically a huge mass of melted nuclear fuel along with anything else it picks up along it's path straight down. There's been one pic that I know of, got a copy of that. not sure exactly when it was taken, surely not more than a couple years after the accident. It would be interesting to compare the data gathered then and now, IE the size, shape, location, radioactivity, etc. Any plans to visit Fukashima plant?
@@jimsagubigula7337 nah not anymore you can go there for 2 minutes or smt and go out unscathed but a few hours and you get a deadly dose but going there is forbidden unless you are a nuclear scientist and have a very good reason to go there
These people and those firefighters from the time are hero’s. If it hadn’t been contained originally it would have effected the whole world. I’m from Wales and we got effected with radioactive rain and also our livestock (especially sheep) became very sick
“People haven’t been there for years,” I don’t think they’ve been at the bottom of the glacier at all. That would be, beyond insane, I’d say 25% chance of returning alive or dead for that matter.
People who think Chernobyl is still a problem and that you’ll get another finger need to actually go there and see that it’s much better after nearly 40 years.
I think small pockets still have extremely high radiation, but the vast majority of land is relatively safe. This is evident by the numerous trips filmed by people who go on tours to Chernobyl, or those who sneak into the area to explore. There are even people who have returned to their homes or moved into abandoned homes relatively close to Chernobyl.
Was on a tour there almost 10 years ago now. Interesting place. Still remember the two French guys who thought it wise to touch every thing and sit on the farris wheel. They probably have 3 headed babies already.
I wish he expanded more (or was more truthful) regarding the communication protocol of the drone and the effective range. Apart from roof reflection, you wouldn’t expect to have a usable signal through multiple concrete walls that thick…
Not once did you really mention you did not really get into the broken reactor, but the 4th building that was still being bnuilt around 2 km away from units 1, 2 and 3 (the kaboomi one)
Yea those buildings are a kilometer or more away from the main plant so have very minor radiation levels I don't get what they are so worried about,you can even go there by yourself with a privet guided tour
Hopefully you would be able to fly it at the very heart of the Chernobyl Disaster itself: Reactor No. 4... But that might be detrimental to the drone since Chernobyl Radiation has acquired EMP Properties deemed deadly to most machines, especially drones
That drones gonna come out of there with an extra rotor.

missed opportunity, you should have sent Taji there for: worst reviewed S.T.A.L.K.E.R in Chenobyl
Such is the life in the zone

Charles has a remarkable resemblance to the French cinemaphile in "Cigarette Burns."
To think az-5 (aka scram button or the emergency shutdown switch) which seems to be an ordinary button under normal circumstances could cause a 20,000 year long nuclear disaster. An entire area of almost 20 miles will remain a time capsule that no man can go and touch or remove.
I randomly got to go to Chernobyl in 2019. The guide told me "Vodka is helpful for radiation exposure". Welcome to the Ukraine I guess.
Who was your guide, because I think it may have been the same guide that I had jaja
@@castillogrande8926 I forget her name, but she was very beautiful. She'd also end every sentence with "my friend"
@@michaelolson571 Nevermind, my guide was male. Guess Ukrainians are really just in agreement about how good Vodka is lol
Is there any way we can see how reactor 4 looks from the inside, like the place where the explosion happened and maybe the Elephant's Foot and the roof with graphite debris? Maybe some drone good enough to capture all those highly radioactive areas.
The hbo mini series is one of the best it’s so accurate too I loved that
Isnt the music at 1:42 from the NHL be a pro mode when a player or coach is talking to you? 😂
I would have liked to see the corium, the 'elephants foot', it's basically a huge mass of melted nuclear fuel along with anything else it picks up along it's path straight down. There's been one pic that I know of, got a copy of that. not sure exactly when it was taken, surely not more than a couple years after the accident. It would be interesting to compare the data gathered then and now, IE the size, shape, location, radioactivity, etc.
Any plans to visit Fukashima plant?
No one can go there. It is extremely radioactive and it will kill you in minutes.
@@jimsagubigula7337 nah not anymore you can go there for 2 minutes or smt and go out unscathed but a few hours and you get a deadly dose but going there is forbidden unless you are a nuclear scientist and have a very good reason to go there
The elephant's foot is just one small piece of corium, less than 5% of the total. And it's in a totally different building complex.
Very fascinating - awesome video.
They flew not in Chernobyl reactor 4, they fly at unfinished plant near.
Everyone gangster until the control rod started jumping
These people and those firefighters from the time are hero’s. If it hadn’t been contained originally it would have effected the whole world. I’m from Wales and we got effected with radioactive rain and also our livestock (especially sheep) became very sick
“People haven’t been there for years,” I don’t think they’ve been at the bottom of the glacier at all. That would be, beyond insane, I’d say 25% chance of returning alive or dead for that matter.
If they wanted to know what was inside there all they had to do was ask Shiey. He could have given them a guided tour! 😂😂😂
The comment i was looking for 😂
50 thousand people used to live here, now it’s a ghost town.
Hear me out. Call of Duty: Chernobyl
Radioactive zombies, dope ass multiplayer maps. Someone send this to activision. This weed is good
They just dropped a game called Chernobyl I think
You can play the free game Survarium if you want multiplayer, but the 3 Metro games are great for single player Chernobyl vibes.
Did someone call me?
Stalker is already a thing you know.
@@mxkinist zoomers don't know about stalker
Nice drone ad!
My uncle was a nuclear physicist for the government. When this happened they sent him over there to study the effects.
Rasel and Jennifer seem to love you...
@@bravo2_0 This makes me so happy! And to be honest even a little bit jealous but that's okay!
@@bravo2_0 😂😆 bots and snap hoes love us all
Notice how he didn't show us the Wish Granter.
People who think Chernobyl is still a problem and that you’ll get another finger need to actually go there and see that it’s much better after nearly 40 years.
I think small pockets still have extremely high radiation, but the vast majority of land is relatively safe. This is evident by the numerous trips filmed by people who go on tours to Chernobyl, or those who sneak into the area to explore.
There are even people who have returned to their homes or moved into abandoned homes relatively close to Chernobyl.
@@pauliewalnuts240eh a group went inside the reactor hall back in the 90s and radiation was at around 100 rem from the fuel rods
That's why you use other smaller drones as a repeater for the signal.
Was on a tour there almost 10 years ago now. Interesting place. Still remember the two French guys who thought it wise to touch every thing and sit on the farris wheel. They probably have 3 headed babies already.
Or immune to covid, but that's generally most people on earth.
@@replynotificationsdisabled what?
Eh I doubt it
@@replynotificationsdisabled Take your covid BS somewhere else.
Where can we watch these inspections y’all have completed in whole?
finally something awsome
I wish he expanded more (or was more truthful) regarding the communication protocol of the drone and the effective range. Apart from roof reflection, you wouldn’t expect to have a usable signal through multiple concrete walls that thick…
I just wasted 6:30 of my life
Not once did you really mention you did not really get into the broken reactor, but the 4th building that was still being bnuilt around 2 km away from units 1, 2 and 3 (the kaboomi one)
this is reactor 5, who cares about how that looks when it was reactor 4 that exploted?
Yea those buildings are a kilometer or more away from the main plant so have very minor radiation levels I don't get what they are so worried about,you can even go there by yourself with a privet guided tour
They wanted to know if they moved something there to the cooling pools and also because the reactor 5 was the same as number 4 just updated a little.
This is very interesting good video
Hopefully you would be able to fly it at the very heart of the Chernobyl Disaster itself:
Reactor No. 4...
But that might be detrimental to the drone since Chernobyl Radiation has acquired EMP Properties deemed deadly to most machines, especially drones

Vice: Here we see the Chernobyl Reactor.
Shiey: Hold my beer......
We love shiey
Some guys have done a lot more there than shiey on TH-cam lol
Damn, a day ago. Way to go VICE.
The world could look like an abandon city at any moment
Just take somebody to f up
