  • today, we're venturing into the "shelter object" via the "local zone"... for the last time before the area will be covered with the "new safe confinement". curious about the looks of the INTACT Chernobyl NPP control rooms? check my video including CR #3 here: • Inside Chernobyl ЧАЭС ...
    this trip was a joint venture with Carl Willis, be sure to check out his youtube channel for more Chernobyl & radiation-related videos: / thallium208

In that situation they knew damn well after it blew the levels they were exposed to meant certain death the moment that exploded they were dead dead in weeks. So for them staring into the reactor was nothing. They were dead but could save everyone else and choose to add water and stop the reactor from going into meltdown didn't have to but knew if the core is gone the explosion would affect belarus to germany.

The 90 seconds workers spent on the roof in a 12,000 Roentgen environment exposed them to 300 Roentgen. 300 Roentgen can cause acute gastrointestinal syndrome, meaning basically bloody flux for a week.
      90 seconds at this intensity is good enough to maybe kill you. 2 minutes will kill half of the people who go through it. 3 minutes is fatal to most. If someone gives you a choice between 4 minutes on the roof with the other liquidators or a death sentence in the United States or China, take the death sentence. Your odds of living six months are better on Death Row, even if your execution is scheduled for that time.
      Statistically, you have better odds of surviving a fall from the Golden Gate Bridge than of surviving 5 minutes at 12,000 Roentgen per hour. You are less likely to die if you are a pedestrian hit by a car going 30 mph. You are safer playing 10 rounds of Russian Roulette. It's more dangerous to stand on that reactor's roof for as long as it takes to sing the Barney the Dinosaur theme song than it is to board a passenger jet you know is going to crash.

Four days from now, I would have essentially zero white blood cells and my chromosomes would have recombined in random patterns. I would then slowly die as every single tissue in my body failed and all my skin flaked off. There is literally not a single thing any medical team on Earth could do to help me, except dope me up (while I can still absorb morphine) and then pipe CO2 into my air supply until I'm mercifully dead.

    For context on radiation: at 6:54, you can see 31.5 uSv/hr. This is about 10x that recieved while flying on an airplane (about 3uSv/hr, due to natural cosmic rays). So spending 1 hour at this location is equivalent to flying for 10 hours on an airplane. Do you smoke? If you smoke, you inhale about 1uSv per 20pack, meaning 1 hour at this location is equivalent to smoking about 30 packs of cigarettes. Spending 22 hours at this spot (700uSv) is equivalent to the radiation you'd get from working in a coal mine for a year (due to natural radon). I don't want to downplay the danger, but the diaster is a lot less scary when you understand the basics of it and compare it to other common sources. *Note that the way the dector reads radiation does require certain assumptions (which I suggest you investigate on your own), but it is a good rough estimate.

Yes there are SIGNIFICANTLY higher dose rate locations throughout that site but a lot of people have no concept of radiation so those counters squawking the entire time make people think that it was super dangerous in that room when in reality they were just set to the highest sensitivities (multiplier).
      As for the "radiation suit"... it depends on what you are trying to protect yourself from and the main sources emitting. A tyvex suit would protect against alpha particles (which is probably the majority of the radiation if i had to guess due to the uranium and the plutonium) and it would also help with the contamination, as for beta, you can get suits to protect against it if you need to but it tends to be easier to just limit exposure instead of shield, and gamma or neutron you aint stopping those with any type of suit.

    At around 7:20 in the video, you can see her meter is showing around ~30 microsieverts an hour of radiation. To put that into perspective, a typical person would receive around 10 microsieverts of radiation per day (it depends where you live, altitude, etc.). So standing there, she is receiving around 75 times more radiation that normal background radiation. That's actually less than I would have thought. Obviously, there are probably hot spots in that area, but walking around for a couple hours would have negligible effects on their long-term chances of increased cancer rates.
    However, if I heard the man correctly and the spot he was measuring was 12 millisieverts per hour, that's pretty hot. The total maximum allowed radiation for US radiation workers is 50 millisieverts PER YEAR. So the radiation from that little spot puts out that amount in around 4 hours.
    Again, being next to that and measuring it like he is doing for a minute or two won't really have any lasting health consequences -- but you wouldn't want to lick it.

      @@TylerL220 He thought steam ruptured pipes above the control room, causing the explosion. Everyone in the control room was very confused, they had no idea what happened. All of their warning equipment and censors were useless. Eventually when they figured it out it was worse, Dyatlov tried to get Akimov, Taptonov, and the rest to leave and avoid radiation. But they refused and kept trying to salvage the core from total meltdown, by going to the water pump directly adjacent to reactor 4, not understanding it was non-existent. This lead to their fatal dose of radiation. Dyatlov’s account was that he did the test directly according to the regulations for the reactor. He had no idea what could happen, and neither did anyone else in the control room. He said it was very quiet, he didn’t force anyone to do anything, and everyone was simply at their panels doing their work, Akimov/Toptonov pushed AZ-5 and a few seconds later alarms started going off and the reactor exploded. Akimov and Toptonov were talking about pushing AZ-5 just to scram the reactor at the end of the test, and do a cold restart due to the Xenon present. They didn’t think anything was wrong. This is all according to Dyatlov though, who knows if he was telling the truth. He said the only thing he feels responsible for, is sending 2 people to manually insert control rods into the reactor. He realized his mistake, but didn’t reach them before they tried to enter the reactor room. They died within 24 hours.

      It is kind of safe but going near the elephants foot is still going to kill you.

    2:50 you can hear that sound from the Chernobyl 2019 soundtrack. was this the sound that they used as an instrument for that piece?

      The soundtrack was composed mostly (if not entirely) of sounds sampled (recorded) in a nuclear reactor. Some of the sounds were presented as recorded, and some were processed, from what I can tell. It's a very innovative soundtrack, and I'll be discussing it with my students next year.

    I wouldn't feel safe or comfortable getting that close to reactor #4
