Yes, stanislav has been a long term worker of CHNPP. He has worked there since it was an operational plant. You will see him in many videos touring Chernobyl. Very knowledgable guide.
Videos and photos really don't do it justice. Just the enormity of the plant, like a city within itself. To think of the catastrophe which happened nearly 40 years ago and the results which are still presenting themselves to us now. An unfathomable amount of respect for those who still work and live there today, a thankless job.
Interesting, it seems so quiet and clean and safe, and yet at the end of the video we all see that massive radioactive tomb over that doomed 4th reactor and we are reminded of the horror that took place there less than 40 years ago and the terrible, toxic THING still burning deep under that sarcophagus.

@@tristanfaulkner6003 Sure it is, Tristan, but it's not coming to eat you in your sleep or steal your babies. It's not going to move, it has no malevolence in it. It's not a horror story.
I would love to go there and see Pripyat and inside the power plant for myself. It's an absolute tragedy, but I find it fascinating. I'd rather go somewhere like this than anywhere else on the planet. Even if just to pay my respects to those who gave so much in the immediate aftermath and during the clear-up operation. And sorry, but at 12:19 I had to laugh - at the no smoking sign! I'm sure there are worse things around there than cigarette smoke!!
rusty nuts Well ty, but what's the point of living, unless you actually live life? I'm sure it's ok. Loads of people go these days. It's not as if I'll actually be trying the firefighters uniforms on in the hospital basement. Although that's another bit I'd want to see.
The last reactor was only shut down in 2000. They still needed to run the other reactors throughout the disaster because power demands in the USSR were so high.

I always believe that this place is totally abandoned, No one there, it’s a ghost town and something like that...until I watch this video. It make me surprise that there are still so many people and workers working normally like their daily routine and the plant still look tidy. It also looks like the plan is still functioning as normal ???
also they can't shut down the plant immediately as certain processes continue for years to come so people have to observe and operate it for safety and shut down gradually. it took very long time for Ignalina to be decommissioned and that's without having a terrible disaster and also improved reactor (instead of rbmk 1000 it was operating a rbmk 1500)
They had to. Losing 1000 MW (reactor 4) is a pain, but 4000 MW (all 4) would be unsustainable long term. The other three reactors were off for some time while decontamination of the site was done and essential safety modifications were made and were brought on one by one. The last coming back on being unit 3 as that wasn't safe until the shelter object was completed. Not all the reactors kept running for 14 years. Unit 2 shut down only 5 years after the accident due to a fire in the turbine hall. Unit 1 shut down in 1996 leaving Unit 3 running until 2000.
Units 1,2,3 are Ok even if unit 3 is in the same building as the 4th there is a huge thick concrete wall that that built that separates unit 4 from the rest inside the plant
At 5:49 it is the leftmost rotary switch behind the red plastic cover under the 1 2 3 4 buttons. The sign identifies the panel as controlling the #3 reactor.
what is the purpose of people being there still? All i heard is that there is still 100's of tons of radioactive material and waste still active there so they need to maintain it in reactor number 3 i believe. Is what i said true at all?
The purpose of employees there is that the CHNPP is official still a reactivalable Power Plant. Most of the employees mark their time of work in my opinion. There is not so much to do in the plant inselfe excluded the employes who works at the new safe confinement. Youre right with your claim, that there is still a huge amount of melted radioactive material called corium in block 4, but the walls and entrance in the direction of B4 are covered with lead. After the disaster they decontaminated the inside of the Power plant, but there is still a higher background direction than normal.
Dokudealer, Thanks! Also, is chernobyl scary in your opinion? I don't know why but it always freaked me out that 50,000 people had to evacuate and pripyat won't be able to hold humans and crops for maybe a 1000 years due to high risk in cancer and ARS (acute radiation sickness).
They were in the process/still working on #5&6 when #4explosion occurred. They never went online. But the other 3 continued, and were shut down different years until year 2000 - Now there are still 3,800 employees of various functions. It was the worst man made disaster in world history. It can never just be walked away from by humans and forgotten about.
@@_DonnyFirdani no they can switch it on and off (only the control room I think) in the central control room. There is a video of unit 2 panels being out on test mode for a few seconds
Kaleb Lowe google it. there are several tourist agencies that are authorised to make travels to the zone. Since its under the goverment control you need a valid passport.
bormisha - there are no special requirements to get inside the plant. I’ve copied in the reply from solo east travel when I arranged my trip back to the zone and into the plant next year. “Dear Chris, The visit to ChNPP (Reactors #1 or #2) is possible but has some paculiarities that you should be aware of when booking: 1. You should be ready that it can be cancelled without any explanations even on the day of your tour. 2. There is extra fee for this excursion - $95 p/p. This fee is fully refundable in a case of cancellation. 3. Available only on MON-FRI and should be booked minimum 10 working day in advance. 4. There is a requirement of authorities that all visitors of the Power Plant should input into the development of the area which suffered from the disaster. For this reason in addition to the excursion of the ChNPP they offer an obligatory short tour of the Slavutych town with overnight stay there. So instead of overnight stay in Chernobyl town you will go by local train to Slavutych town. For further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us any time.”
When will people understand a joke. With your own brain do you actually think I’m getting radiation sickness form this? Or do you think I’m just joking.
Why do they cover their head with that kind of cover thing? Instead of wearing a hat? What is the idea? Is it made of ordinary cloth or is it a special fabric that would provide some kind of protection against radioactivity?Thanks a lot in advance.
Its feature is being cheap as I understand. So when leaving work, if your radiation contamination scan beeps positive, you can just throw that white clothing and go into decontamination without a second thought.
Can someone explain the uniforms and hats? They wore the same ones back in the 80s when the accident occurred. Was that specific to the USSR? Were they protective or practical in any way? Just curious.
There's been 2 major incidents and only 1 came with deaths. (plus the soviets were incredibly stubborn) I think more people have died from coal power in a span of 10 years than people died in chernobyl.

Thank you very much and greetings from Australia I will visit their one-day
I still don't understand how they just kept the other reactors running for 14 years, barely stopping for the incident
I was that or power outages throughout the soviet union.
why would they stop others?
If there had been a threat to them they would have had to. For a time they considered it.
