Morgan Smith people were just unaware of the dangers and hazards of radiation. Look no further than Marie Curie who discovered plutonium only to die of exposure early in her life.
The reason I know about Chelyabinsk 40 and Lake Karachay is because of this one novel, The Last Oracle by James Rollins. Several characters are imprisoned within the compound and must escape via Lake Karachay, except... Staying one hour on the lake's shore is deadly. Let alone on the water.
mastermaniac1911 no It's not exploitative to make a living, especially after so much effort has clearly gone into the video itself. Creators need to eat.
Uranium not plutonium in the video. You can handle raw uranium. It’s dirt with more uranium than typical dirt (yes it’s everywhere in small amounts). Plutonium comes out of a reactor, so very radioactive and toxic to boot.
Funny enough I'm in one of those houses you see in the video haha. 4:02 (kinda on the left) Even went to the highschool here where our mascott is a mushroom cloud, we are called the Richland Bombers and we chanted, "Nuke 'em till they glow!" Was real fun sneaking off into the Nuclear bunker under the school. Most kids would just go there to smoke pot or have sex tho lol. Fun fact too; Hanford is a larger ecological disaster than Chernobyl. Unlike Chernobyl tho, Hanford's town, Richland, was placed 15 miles away from the plant. 9:50 had Hanford's waste spills into the Columbia River been more well known, and if the town was built closer, you'd be talking about Fukishima and Hanford instead of Chernobyl. 70% of the people employed here are a part of the cleanup. This is a pretty well kept secret that only people who have seen the site know. Go ahead and try to test the soil at the shoreline of the Hanford site, you'll be met by guards with MP5s and a 50 cal that take your samples and tell you to leave.
Two points: none of the old movie shots were taken in Richland-those are the construction camps set up near the towns of Hanford and White Bluffs, two towns closer to the reactors, that were evacuated before construction began. Richland was repurposed and enlarged to house workers working on “The Project” continuing after initial construction (Hanford and White Bluffs were dismantled after construction ceased). Second, having grown up in Richland since the 50’s, I have to say I never heard “Nuke ’em ‘til they glow” until the Iran hostage crisis of ‘78-‘80, when some people wanted to go to war over the situation. It was gradually applied more broadly, but wasn’t used early on in the Cold War, AFAIK. PS: it’s actually closer to 25 mi from Richland to the nearest of the old U/Pu production facilities and the reactors themselves were more like 35 mi away.
This will probably get lost in the comments still I have to say, congratz with how much work you put in the videos. I love the content. This diserves a lot more subs. Kind regards, from Belgium.

You have to admit that the SECURING work the soviets did on that small drying radioactive lake was just incredible (10000 blocks of concrete to CONTAIN the water and sediments), just to PROTECT the populations around the SECRET exclusion zone.

Someone reviewed one of the lakes. This is what they commented: Ozero Kyzyltash Ozersk, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia - ★★★★★ 7 months ago Went out crab fishing on a 40ft pontoon with a slide and had a great time. But my son and I got sick from eating crabs from this lake.
It does sound like fallout, hidden cities that are underground and called vaults? City 40 wasn't underground but how in the US people had bomb shelters just in case to maybe try and live through it, maybe Soviets had underground vaults too and well forgot about them. 1000 years later someone will walk out vault-40 wondering whats been going on as the underground city been sitting there unnoticed for generations.
Yep, pretty real. Welcome to Soviet Union, where the government does not care about your life. There were many similar incidents, with nothing being told by Soviet government to most of populace.
I liked the video a lot. I am from the village in southern Urals. My best friend since childhood, who was my neighbor at that time, is from family relocated to our village during Kyshtim disaster. Her grandparents lived in one of those evacuated villages. My mother sais that when these evacuated people were transported to our village, all the evacuated children were brought together and they were dressed in similar scrub type of clothing. There are actually several families in our village originated from those villages near Kyshtim
+Dmitry Tabakerov (Azazeo) very interesting! Since this is such a unique story, you should make a video about your childhood! I think it would be very cool!
My father owned a large circuit board shop in Garland, TX from the 70's thru 90's..sometime in the early 90's he was approached by a group with an opportunity to either construct and/or operate another board shop in some "secret city around the Urals". He never did go, telling me it basically just creeped him out, especially with the iron curtain having so recently fallen. That whole thing was just so interesting...
That was a great and very informative mini documentary. Lots of information that wasn't stretched out to make a longer video. Loved it. I can really feel for those poor people. The picture with the different things pointed out really brought it home on how bad it still is. I plan to check out your other videos too. And thanks for telling us about the brilliant website. I may try that to learn enough algebra to finally pass my GED.
Fun fact, Chernobyl would have also been hidden from the public had environmental chemists at nuclear power plants in Scandinavia started noticing that they were getting odd radiation levels in their samples. The environmental chemists all talked to one another and finally figured out that the radiation was coming from Chernobyl.
Well, none of the incidents really are surprising considering the commies also managed to fuck up something as simple as FARMING and at the same time felt less responsible for keeping their own people in the loop than the fucking CIA. People shit their pants about nuclear power when in reality, half of our nuclear disasters were trademark communism at play. And if you think their nuclear disasters are bad wait until you see their agricultural projects. Who the fuck builds a nuclear reactor without a secondary containment? The same people that think killing all the productive farmers is a good idea. Who blows it up in a test? You guessed it, commies. Who doesn´t tell anyone about a fuckup worthy of the history books? The first comrade to guess it actually gets food.
Sir Castic how do you even manage to fuck up farming, something humanity had mastered 12,000 years ago. I knew communism was infamous for it's fuck-ups but this takes shit to a whole new level.
They also somehow managed to fuck up an entire ecosystem, along with the accompanying economic system, by basically turning a huge, beautiful sweet water lake into a toxic desert (Aral Sea). Other countries also had their share of ecological disasters, but the commies took the whole thing to a whole nother level.
When I was taking a class on contemporary Soviet History in college way back in 1976, we had a guest speaker from Ukraine that mentioned that there was about a 35 mile stretch of highway through the Urals where there were signs posted in Russian that said: "Keep your windows rolled up, do not stop for any reason and drive as fast as possible". He said there were rumors that there had been a nuclear accident or an accident involving Anthrax, but that most people believed that a Nuclear Accident was the reason. Most of his talk was about a plastics factory that he had worked at that made low quality plastic containers in the morning for the official Political Soviet manager, who always left by 2pm and that they made high-quality containers that were sold on the black market in the afternoons and evenings. He said the workers were paid almost double their official wages for the black market containers by the actual Ukrainian factory manager.
Wow. More oral history like this needs to be recorded and maintained online so humanity will understand in the future that what you experience is still more important than what you’re told you experience. No mention is made about the death toll but it’s probably a horrifyingly large number. Also TIL that there is a black market for plastic containers.
I doubt Soviet scientists had that gap in the knowledge about nuclear physics you were talking about, there were many Soviet physicists who were internationally influential/famous and many of them received Nobel prizes. All those decisions how to handle, how to store nuclear waste were most liekly made by authorities, mostly military folk, who never cared about such minor issues such as "contamination", they had orders from the general secretary to catch up with the US when it comes to nuclear weaponry and caring about muh safety was their least concern. Back then few coutries cared about such issues, lead poisoning was blatant; just a few decades ago in the US itself there had been that case of the so called Radium Girls et cetera
"When, not long afterward, the new People’s Commissar of Railroads, Comrade Kaganovich, ordered that average loads [on trains] should be increased, and even doubled and tripled them (and for this discovery received the Order of Lenin)-the malicious engineers who protested became known as limiters. They raised the outcry that this was too much, and would result in the breakdown of the rolling stock, and they were rightly shot for their lack of faith in the possibilities of socialist transport." -- Gulag Archipelago
I was born and raised in Richland, and recently the Hanford Nuclear site has been leaking tons of waste into the Columbia river. It was so bad they banned eating fish out of it.
inertjohnjunk Richland is all Communities and nice homes. It really is like a place of dreams, it has cheap taxes, tons of food, parks, the Columbia river(I think 2 biggest river in US), lots of events to do, and good people. It WAS like a dream, then people started getting sick from swimming and eating local crops. Radioactive dust started to reach far away places making people sick. Crops used water from the river, so the crops(only some not all) were not safe to eat. And fish from the river were the worst of all, eat one bite of a fish and you would be sick 30 minutes later. So I moved.

Uranium not plutonium in the video. You can handle raw uranium. It’s dirt with more uranium than typical dirt (yes it’s everywhere in small amounts). Plutonium comes out of a reactor, so very radioactive and toxic to boot.

Even went to the highschool here where our mascott is a mushroom cloud, we are called the Richland Bombers and we chanted, "Nuke 'em till they glow!"
Was real fun sneaking off into the Nuclear bunker under the school.
Most kids would just go there to smoke pot or have sex tho lol.
Fun fact too;
Hanford is a larger ecological disaster than Chernobyl. Unlike Chernobyl tho, Hanford's town, Richland, was placed 15 miles away from the plant.
9:50 had Hanford's waste spills into the Columbia River been more well known, and if the town was built closer, you'd be talking about Fukishima and Hanford instead of Chernobyl.
70% of the people employed here are a part of the cleanup.
This is a pretty well kept secret that only people who have seen the site know.
Go ahead and try to test the soil at the shoreline of the Hanford site, you'll be met by guards with MP5s and a 50 cal that take your samples and tell you to leave.

Two points: none of the old movie shots were taken in Richland-those are the construction camps set up near the towns of Hanford and White Bluffs, two towns closer to the reactors, that were evacuated before construction began. Richland was repurposed and enlarged to house workers working on “The Project” continuing after initial construction (Hanford and White Bluffs were dismantled after construction ceased).
Second, having grown up in Richland since the 50’s, I have to say I never heard “Nuke ’em ‘til they glow” until the Iran hostage crisis of ‘78-‘80, when some people wanted to go to war over the situation. It was gradually applied more broadly, but wasn’t used early on in the Cold War, AFAIK.
PS: it’s actually closer to 25 mi from Richland to the nearest of the old U/Pu production facilities and the reactors themselves were more like 35 mi away.

I liked the video a lot. I am from the village in southern Urals. My best friend since childhood, who was my neighbor at that time, is from family relocated to our village during Kyshtim disaster. Her grandparents lived in one of those evacuated villages. My mother sais that when these evacuated people were transported to our village, all the evacuated children were brought together and they were dressed in similar scrub type of clothing. There are actually several families in our village originated from those villages near Kyshtim

Fun fact, Chernobyl would have also been hidden from the public had environmental chemists at nuclear power plants in Scandinavia started noticing that they were getting odd radiation levels in their samples. The environmental chemists all talked to one another and finally figured out that the radiation was coming from Chernobyl.
Well, none of the incidents really are surprising considering the commies also managed to fuck up something as simple as FARMING and at the same time felt less responsible for keeping their own people in the loop than the fucking CIA.
People shit their pants about nuclear power when in reality, half of our nuclear disasters were trademark communism at play. And if you think their nuclear disasters are bad wait until you see their agricultural projects. Who the fuck builds a nuclear reactor without a secondary containment? The same people that think killing all the productive farmers is a good idea. Who blows it up in a test? You guessed it, commies. Who doesn´t tell anyone about a fuckup worthy of the history books? The first comrade to guess it actually gets food.
Sir Castic how do you even manage to fuck up farming, something humanity had mastered 12,000 years ago. I knew communism was infamous for it's fuck-ups but this takes shit to a whole new level.
Sir Castic I assume you're talking about the Great Famine?
They also somehow managed to fuck up an entire ecosystem, along with the accompanying economic system, by basically turning a huge, beautiful sweet water lake into a toxic desert (Aral Sea).
Other countries also had their share of ecological disasters, but the commies took the whole thing to a whole nother level.

When I was taking a class on contemporary Soviet History in college way back in 1976, we had a guest speaker from Ukraine that mentioned that there was about a 35 mile stretch of highway through the Urals where there were signs posted in Russian that said: "Keep your windows rolled up, do not stop for any reason and drive as fast as possible". He said there were rumors that there had been a nuclear accident or an accident involving Anthrax, but that most people believed that a Nuclear Accident was the reason. Most of his talk was about a plastics factory that he had worked at that made low quality plastic containers in the morning for the official Political Soviet manager, who always left by 2pm and that they made high-quality containers that were sold on the black market in the afternoons and evenings. He said the workers were paid almost double their official wages for the black market containers by the actual Ukrainian factory manager.
Wow. More oral history like this needs to be recorded and maintained online so humanity will understand in the future that what you experience is still more important than what you’re told you experience. No mention is made about the death toll but it’s probably a horrifyingly large number.
Also TIL that there is a black market for plastic containers.

I doubt Soviet scientists had that gap in the knowledge about nuclear physics you were talking about, there were many Soviet physicists who were internationally influential/famous and many of them received Nobel prizes. All those decisions how to handle, how to store nuclear waste were most liekly made by authorities, mostly military folk, who never cared about such minor issues such as "contamination", they had orders from the general secretary to catch up with the US when it comes to nuclear weaponry and caring about muh safety was their least concern. Back then few coutries cared about such issues, lead poisoning was blatant; just a few decades ago in the US itself there had been that case of the so called Radium Girls et cetera
Finally! thank you dear sir
The people who had the knowledge would be executed for sabotage if they voiced their opposition to the procedures. That's just how communists roll.

"When, not long afterward, the new People’s Commissar of Railroads, Comrade Kaganovich, ordered that average loads [on trains] should be increased, and even doubled and tripled them (and for this discovery received the Order of Lenin)-the malicious engineers who protested became known as limiters.

I was born and raised in Richland, and recently the Hanford Nuclear site has been leaking tons of waste into the Columbia river. It was so bad they banned eating fish out of it.
Richland sounds like the name of some kind of fictional capitalist dreamscape.
Heck, stay safe.
inertjohnjunk Or a land full of many natural resources, and much fertile.
inertjohnjunk Richland is all Communities and nice homes. It really is like a place of dreams, it has cheap taxes, tons of food, parks, the Columbia river(I think 2 biggest river in US), lots of events to do, and good people. It WAS like a dream, then people started getting sick from swimming and eating local crops. Radioactive dust started to reach far away places making people sick. Crops used water from the river, so the crops(only some not all) were not safe to eat. And fish from the river were the worst of all, eat one bite of a fish and you would be sick 30 minutes later. So I moved.
