@Rowdy Jr. There is no Pritpyat ! *QUARANTINED!* FOR MILLION YEARS. Why this is stupid to say the dose was low. They want to downplay Chernobyl to Cover-up how bad Fukushima Really Is.

Can't be diluted already being reduced to a lower form than the water it's in. That means it'll reduce the clean waters.
The one you just told, that at 12 cases of downs syndrome children born in Germany over 9 months were linked to this. There would have been an upsurge in countries closer to Ukraine, if that was the case. 12 is not a huge amount. I am guessing that they just had mothers who did not abort them which was encouraged.
@@jamara3330 Look to where the fallout fell. You think it only stayed in the Ukraine? It went all over the world But large concentrates fell All Over Europe. Germany Too. Another fact? The nuclear wastes dumped along the shores of Europe and the accidental releases of nuclear materials. You provided *Evidence Of European Radiation Contamination Of Young Children!*
Obviously the fall out was not just in the Ukraine. Unless lots of babies with downs syndrome occurred elsewhere, 12 in Germany is not conclusive evidence unlike the huge amount who got throat cancer.

1:27 highly inaccurate (even contradicts your previous video on the cause of the failure). That’s like saying the Challenger disaster happened because the Space Shuttle used rocket fuel. The fuel rods were inserted into the core well before the test began, you’re confusing them with the control rods. The RBMK-1000’s design flaw was its high positive void coefficient: in such a reactor coolant water acts both as a neutron moderator and absorber meaning that the reactivity of the reactor can increase exponentially as water turns into steam. Which can, and did, lead to a runaway situation. However, to get to that point during the infamous test; the relatively inexperienced crew of operators, made multiple operating errors, aggravated by poor communication and mismanagement, leading to them disregarding many security protocols and disabling the automatic safeguards which prevented getting to that critical point. The boron-carbide control rods which help regulate and shutdown the reaction if necessary were entirely removed before the reactor went critical, this should never have been the case. And as they were reinserted all at once in an effort to shut down the reactor, the graphite tips of these rods increased reactivity which caused power to surge and the channels to warp and rods to rupture under the extreme heat, thus causing many of the control rods to become stuck and unable to shut it down; two explosions followed. I’m oversimplifying a bit, as a proper explanation (with all the events and facts) would take too long here, also, I’m not an expert on the subject. I do worry that “pop-science” channels such as yours are actually doing us a disservice by giving inaccurate or false information in an effort to cover complex topics fast and in an excessively simplistic manner.
Thank you! I'm studying Nuclear Engineering. I know someone that has been wacthing "Chernobyl" and now thinks he is a expert on nuclear power...and insist I'm always wrong on this subject. I'll be sure to link your comment to this person. Again thank you!
The 20,000 year number is bogus too. That number refers to the molten core remnants(the elephant's foot). Which could remain radioactive for up to that long. That 20,000 year number does not include the surrounding area.
Also they where not shutting it down for maintance they acidentaly shut it down the test was to see if it can work normally if the power is cut and it must work of thr generators
Doctors were instructed by the Soviet government to classify deaths related to radiation exposure to something else. Though almost all doctors and nurses knew that patients who had gotten sick and/or died had similar symptoms, they continued to mark deaths to unrelated causes in fear of being dragged away and never seen again. In all Soviet radioactive contamination accidents, doctors were given the same orders to prevent the public and Western countries from knowing.
And also what about the liquidators? It has been proven that 60,000 of them died of cancer and other radiation related diseases. Green peace estimated the death rate to be 93,000 not to mention those affected by Chernobyl. Other estimates but the number above the thousands. Are they all wrong?
I'm from America, but I'm grateful for the suicide squad who helped save our planet pretty much. If they didnt do anything, who knows how far the radiation could have gone.
Thanks to the heroes of Chernobyl, risking their life for the sake of humankind. Thousand if not millions would have died of not for those heroes. My salutations for their bravery.
My grandfather was a liquidator at the Chernobyl ( he worked there for a week 1 year after the Chernobyl exploded) , he unfortunately lost both of his legs due to blood getting too thick - and none of his friends survived more than 40 years I think nuclear energy is the most self destructing time bomb we EVER created!
Perhaps, but it's still safer than any of the alternatives: the worst nuclear power disaster in history, and less than a hundred dead. Also, modern plants don't produce weapons grade materials.
@@player-ko3vy because disaster of Chernobyl left poisonous radioactive in town with high level radioactive as zone contaminated for 20,000 years. but if you want lived to ghost town contaminated when you get cancer or leukemia (leukemia was create "natural" by radioactive for few years like 3-15 years.) but it's better you can keep health and keep away from that nuclear disaster, as you don't go near zone contaminated and don't go inside zone dangerous. that's why keep safe for all.
@@wwechamp888 short, but still incorrect. And again, like in soviet system everyone then spreads misinformation. Even in another video the explanation is wrong.
Both of my parents lived close to the Ukrainian boarder in Poland when Chernobyl happened. they were exposed to radiation and consumed radio active foods for a long period of time. although they don't have any significant health conditions all 4 of their children ( including me) have "genetic" conditions that have not been previously noticed in both sides of the families. It is assumed that at some point the dna of my parents got mutated and as a result my siblings and I have several health issues and are probably at higher risk of cancer.
@@bigiecheese919 without dwelling too much into it , I for example have one side of my face completely paralysed among other chronic long term conditions.. I don't want to discuss my siblings health in too much detail but I will tell you this. My sisters eyes are undeveloped and one of them will go blind in the near future. my other sibling was born with kidney and bladder problems..
The HBO series episode 3 was horrific. What those guys went through with that Radiation sickness was just awful. The pain and suffering must have been just sick.
I came here from a documentary about babies born with birth defects in Belarus, so I’m not sure why you’re saying the radiation was unlikely to cause this... I’m gonna trust the BBC over this 🤷🏻♀️
This dude has his facts all wrong. There's two documentaries I watched even before the TV series came out specifically about the effects of the Chernobly disaster on children. Chernobly Heart and Children of Chernobly. Fair warning... they are horribly heartbreaking especially if you love kids.
Someone my mom knew was forced to go in the plant. He was there for 5 minutes and not even in the worst place. He was not the same when he came back and died in 3 months.
I visited this summer and it was crazy to see how nature has taken over. Trees grew out of 10th story windows and in the middle of school buildings. Most of the town and surrounding areas are no more radioactive than any city, but every now and then you walk by a patch of soul that's 1000x normal background radiation. Your skin is pretty good at stopping radiation. Even standing near a hotspot wouldn't have huge health effects, but if you breath in dust contaminated with cesium then your chance of cancer increases immensely.
My mom told me that in the summer of 86" she noticed that bees weren't yellow anymore. Instead of yellow they were gray only two days after the news announced that there has happened an accident in Chernobyl.
This is completely untrue. It was not planned shutdown, it was planned reduction of power output. Engineers made a mistake by lowering it below safe operating output and then tried to bring it up fast thus creating massive amount of heat in the core.
I was born in Moldova, a neighboring country, short after the explosion and I can do 50 pull-ups in one set without taking any steroids. Is this a side effect of the radiation?
You definitely downplayed the event. There were lots of people that died because of the radiation. People were literally falling apart in hospitals because of the radiation. One guys face look like it was rotting off and nurses/families had to see it unfold in front of them. Very sad what people had to go through
one thing i find interesting about the chernobyl disaster is that the ussr wasn't going to let anyone know it had happened! it was unbelievably down-played and actually kept secret for several weeks as though it was no big deal. it was only when a neighbouring country noticed a drastic spike in their own radiation and reasoned that it could only have come from the plant that, with some probing, the event was revealed.
the most crazy thing imo is how the environment adapted around it. Uranium is a man-made element and completely foreign to earth yet the environment finds a way to adapt,
The worst effect of the Chernobyl disaster was the effect it had on the opinions of the general public about nuclear power. That effect is still going on today and is causing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths every year because we have not managed to move away from fossil fuels. All because of the fear that another couple hundred to a few thousand people might die if we have another Chernobyl level nuclear disaster.
Nice video. Please also make a video on 'Bhopal Gas tragedy'.It was also a disaster caused by human negligence which killed many of innocent people living near the the Carbide plant.
One things that makes me sad is that my grandfather died from a disease caused by Chernobyl when my mom was around 14 years old. I never got to meet him. Btw most of this stuff is not true. My mother was living near where it happened and obviously knew everything what was going on and she watched this video and said many things were wrong.
Ugh what gets me is that every Chernobyl "documentary" is the same! What's going on now? I'm tired of hearing the same "facts" over and over again! I want to hear about how this radiation is affecting us NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. What a shit channel this is. Thanks for recycling everything that we already know you dickheads!
Nah. I'm most definitely not. I just don't like Russia's sudden invasions every Olympics. Not that America is a saint but Russia is has been disgusting.
It's highly disrespectful to not talk about the THOUSANDS of workers (firemen, engineers, military) who lost their lives at Chernobyl, and then question "was if really as terrible as we thought"? Really? It hurts to feel like someone can be that ignorant.. The only reason it seems like it wasn't was because people willingly gave up their lives and stopped the radiation from contaminating the main water supply underneath the power station.
My grandmas family lived in a small town called Khust , Ukraine which is more than 100 miles away from Chernobyl. 2 members of my family moved to Pripyat 2-3 days before the disaster . They got advanced type of cancer and died 6 months later .
I was born 5 months after this incident in eastern Poland near Belarusian border. Until now I'm free of any cancers, but I believe my grandma died from a cancer in her gallbladder after continuing to eat veggies from her (potentially contaminated) garden. We did drink milk from our cows during my infancy , which could have also been contaminated from the grass the cows fed on
tip: to increase your resistance to radiations when visiting theese places, listen to some blyatman's hardbass and wear some addidas tracksuit. (tested and approved by gopniks)
gamecube-king/ devon3 And get some of babushka‘s kompot. And some blin. And if you don’t have blin in the house, just go steal some from your neighbor Vadim‘s house. Boom, done!
I love this video. It’s so scientifically positive in a way. How it explains how incredible it is that we were able to sort of deal with the situation and learn more about the dangers of radiation.
"Mr Kruschev said we will protect you. I don't subscribe to his point of view. Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too."
They had no problems with the cooling system , the problem was the test which was made in an other power plant without any success , they done it again and boom
Because the US decided to fund and organize an Anti Russian coup in Ukraine in 2014 , prompting a Russian response in form of the reunification of Crimea with Russia and their support of eastern Ukranians.

one thing i find interesting about the chernobyl disaster is that the ussr wasn't going to let anyone know it had happened! it was unbelievably down-played and actually kept secret for several weeks as though it was no big deal. it was only when a neighbouring country noticed a drastic spike in their own radiation and reasoned that it could only have come from the plant that, with some probing, the event was revealed.
Notification Squad! Where ya at?
Here
I'm here
COJ is here! ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
Shut up
Kick Nrompton why do you have to hate? You shut up
"50 thousand people used to live in this place. Now it's a ghost town" - best game ever
@FireRam420 yes
80 miles north of Kiev, not 8.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
RADIOACTIVE ☢️
RADIOACTIVE ☢️
Man left it alone so mother nature took it back
🤣🤣🤣
man i remember watching news about this disaster back in the day....now i feel so old
Wow humans left but mother nature just lived with it and thrived...
Just how weak are we? XD
I wish this video would've talked about the hospital that they took the firefighters, what happened to their clothes, and the elephant's foot.
now imagine this 10x.
This guy would have got along great with Dyatlov, Fomin and Bryukhanov.
the most crazy thing imo is how the environment adapted around it. Uranium is a man-made element and completely foreign to earth yet the environment finds a way to adapt,
The worst effect of the Chernobyl disaster was the effect it had on the opinions of the general public about nuclear power. That effect is still going on today and is causing tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths every year because we have not managed to move away from fossil fuels. All because of the fear that another couple hundred to a few thousand people might die if we have another Chernobyl level nuclear disaster.
Nice video.
Please also make a video on 'Bhopal Gas tragedy'.It was also a disaster caused by human negligence which killed many of innocent people living near the the Carbide plant.
One things that makes me sad is that my grandfather died from a disease caused by Chernobyl when my mom was around 14 years old. I never got to meet him.
Btw most of this stuff is not true. My mother was living near where it happened and obviously knew everything what was going on and she watched this video and said many things were wrong.
Who is here after Chernobyl Miniseries?
Dude! You're spoiling the TV show.
Awesome video!
Don't call it "The Ukraine". When you call it that you are essentially saying it belongs to Russia. Ukraine is a sovereign nation.
I guess that explains why I have all the thumbs up, buddy.
Ugh what gets me is that every Chernobyl "documentary" is the same! What's going on now? I'm tired of hearing the same "facts" over and over again! I want to hear about how this radiation is affecting us NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. What a shit channel this is. Thanks for recycling everything that we already know you dickheads!
Are you Ukrainian?
Nah. I'm most definitely not. I just don't like Russia's sudden invasions every Olympics. Not that America is a saint but Russia is has been disgusting.
U have17 dawg stfu
It's highly disrespectful to not talk about the THOUSANDS of workers (firemen, engineers, military) who lost their lives at Chernobyl, and then question "was if really as terrible as we thought"? Really? It hurts to feel like someone can be that ignorant.. The only reason it seems like it wasn't was because people willingly gave up their lives and stopped the radiation from contaminating the main water supply underneath the power station.
Next video: our editor stayed at Chernobyl for a week
My grandmas family lived in a small town called Khust , Ukraine which is more than 100 miles away from Chernobyl. 2 members of my family moved to Pripyat 2-3 days before the disaster . They got advanced type of cancer and died 6 months later .
Do you taste metal?
*this man is clearly delusional*
I was born 5 months after this incident in eastern Poland near Belarusian border. Until now I'm free of any cancers, but I believe my grandma died from a cancer in her gallbladder after continuing to eat veggies from her (potentially contaminated) garden. We did drink milk from our cows during my infancy , which could have also been contaminated from the grass the cows fed on
tip: to increase your resistance to radiations when visiting theese places, listen to some blyatman's hardbass and wear some addidas tracksuit.
(tested and approved by gopniks)
gamecube-king/ devon3 And get some of babushka‘s kompot. And some blin. And if you don’t have blin in the house, just go steal some from your neighbor Vadim‘s house. Boom, done!
don't forget the mayonez and the semichki
(and remember: squat on toes break your bones, you need to squat on your entire feet, like boris does)
yes boii, Boris the true shashlik king
And remember your ushanka to keep head safe
My mom was 3 yrs old when reactor exploded... And my mom was born in Poland... HELP IM SCARED DAT I HAVE CANCER PLZZZ
Cannibal Island and Chernobyl. Infographics making Russia a scary place!
This is the Ukraine not Russia.
Chernobyl is in Ukraine, and Island is not in Russia.
I’m on Chernobyl spree after hbo show
These numbers are inaccurate I think. I’ve seen maaaaaany videos on Chernobyl and these numbers are far lower than all of the rest
they are protecting the nuke industry
Nice video 👍👍
You can argue about Crimea annexation, but back in 1986 it was definitely a part of Ukraine
2020: "allow me to introduce myself"
Who came here after HBO's Chernobyl?
Probably all of us.
8,39 milisievert ? Where ? Inside the reactor ? What's usually in the town is between 0,13 and 0,80
20.000?
can't wait to live there.
This is just ridiculous. How can you be poisoned by something that clearly isn't there.
What about all of the birth defects that are STILL occurring????
Beth Roesch what about them?
And then suddenly out of nowhere you hear ANU CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE
"30 thousand peoples use to lived here, now its a ghost town"
Answer: people died
I love this video. It’s so scientifically positive in a way. How it explains how incredible it is that we were able to sort of deal with the situation and learn more about the dangers of radiation.
The explanation given in this video for the cause of this accident is wrong.
And also, so many people died for mitigate the disaster. If a large part of europe isn't crawling in cancer is because of those forced heroes
"Mr Kruschev said we will protect you. I don't subscribe to his point of view. Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too."
They had no problems with the cooling system , the problem was the test which was made in an other power plant without any success , they done it again and boom
0:02 Crimea is Ukraine
Yeah I don’t know what they were trying to get at
Crimea is Russia!
"50.000 people used to live here... Now its a ghost town"
"Everything is under control.."
There is no cause for alarm....
But there probably will be,
Brain
I was born on April 26th 1986,crazy,just 2 hours after it exploded I was born at 3:30 am
Why is Crimea suddenly part of russia
Because the US decided to fund and organize an Anti Russian coup in Ukraine in 2014 , prompting a Russian response in form of the reunification of Crimea with Russia and their support of eastern Ukranians.
I remember after the accident there was a worldwide thyroid cancer scare, causing a run on iodine pills.
whose here because of the new series?
*mini series
Francisco Ceja Yh I got mistaken
Tell me How does a RBMK reactor explode 😡
Please do a video on behavioural psychology
I was there in Germany when Chernobyl blew up. This explains my health problems that I have been trying to figure out.
I find it ironic that life thrives better doused in radiation vs not being near humans
I was waiting for this 💖💖💖
2019 after the trailer ?
How is this not a BIG deal?!? it is guys come on!!
Crimea is Ukraine
go to tell that to the russians paratroopers !
@Marcel HuchwajdaKaliningrad is Könisberg :)
