Fukushima is far worse as continues to spew radiation into our sky and seas. There has been nearly a media black out on this horrifying reality aside from a handful of scientists determined to tell the truth. Do not settle for lies , do your own research and continue to dig past the main stream media whom perpetuates the illusion of safety about this apocoliptic technology.

"It's a stark reminder of the danger inherent in nuclear power." This bothered me through this whole video. The reactor built at Chernobyl is a RBMK reactor, which was never built by any country outside the USSR because it had characteristics that were rejected everywhere outside the Soviet Union. Chief among these was its inherent instability, especially on startup and shutdown. Because of the way the reactor used graphite where American reactors use water, when Soviet operators tried to reduce power the RBMK had a tendency to sharply increase power production instead. As overheating became more severe, power increased even more.Also the Chernobyl plant did not have the fortified containment structure common to most nuclear power plants elsewhere in the world. Without this protection, radioactive material escaped into the environment. Used correctly and properly, nuclear power is safe. There has even been new improvements developed to make nuclear even safer. Cutting corners and a horrendous design is what made this site a disaster waiting to happen. This is not inevitable in every case. I found this to be misleading and scientifically inaccurate. The reporter seems to be banking on visual theatrics instead of actually reporting why this happened. Throwing the baby out with the proverbial bathwater.
Nuclear Power is not safe at all, The spent fuel needs thousands of years + to stop being harmfull plus all the safety protocols and backup Will not be able to withstand natural disasters which Will become more and more common in the near future.
The way you worded your comment shows clearly that you're a logical, smart person. This makes you different than the rest of the population. Different than the people who design, build, oversee and run nuclear reactors. I'm sure I don't have to exemplify it for you. While the sentence you quoted doesn't explain where the danger comes from, it is correct: people are responsible for the safety of these reactors, and they aren't competent. So there is an inherent danger in everything they do, and hence, in the reactors, which do have the potential to do a lot of damage. That said, of course, more dangerous is the short-sighted policy of fossil fuel reliance. Then, we have the policy of dumb-assed, gratuitous wasting of energy and resources which blows up the quantity of energy and resources that need to be produced, so that they could be wasted.
I must say that recently VICE have really had me looking more and more on your videos. They are coming back to the good old content and roots again. Well done!
The radioactivity levels there now are lower than those on a commercial flight. The main issue that prevents people from living there is not radioactivity but metal toxicity. Isotopes that are highly radioactive decay quickly, like iodine was a big concern for the first few weeks. Now the main source of radioactivity is Cesium-137 and it has a 30 year half life. The issue is that the end decay products of the radioactive pollutants are mostly toxic metals like barium, lead and mercury.
The Chernobyl power station was still operating until 2000. The Ukraine could not afford to lose that much of its electricity production. Just imagine working at a power station that 1/4 of which had blown up!
Sent a guy to Ukraine, organised fascinating people to interview and access to limited access areas and you come up with a 7 minute video from it.... FFS

Nuclear power is not dangerous, it’s only dangerous when safety features are put in second place because of cost, when personnel are not trained properly because of cost, but when handed properly, nuclear power is the cleanest, safest way to make huge amounts of energy On the other hand, solar panels and wind turbines, produce small amounts of energy even when a large area is covered in them, and, the sun is not always out and it’s not always windy. Nuclear power is the safest when handed properly. Nuclear power is the best option until we solve climate change or find a cleaner better way to produce energy.
I've been to Chernobyl and Pripyat three times, once in CoD: Modern Warfare, once in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and once in real life last year. It's safe to say that seeing it in real life was the best time.
It's one of the cleanest but not the safest if you look at the scale of potential damage if another accident was to occur, but yeah because of Chernobyl safety regulations on Nuclear Power changed drastically, no one wants another explosion.

And since he sells stock. He have to pay taxes, fees, insurance, etc... Thats alot of damage, not include his position in the company will be weaken

VICE please do a piece on new Belarus power plant that is being built carelessly by russia and it's near to our border and a major city here in Lithuania.
Uhm, Chelyabinsk where they detected that, is the site of where Russia has dumped tons of nuclear waste into lakes and the open air. As they mentioned: The Mayak facility. The Urals are nowhere near the Lithuanian border. It's completely unrelated to what Vaggiz said.
The areas outside the new confinement are now all ok to walk around however the ground, objects, flora and fauna still has some contamination and will so for many thousands of years. There are even some micro bits of the graphite and nuclear fuel still around the plant. (Search youtube) Belarus which took most of the impact of radiation spent hundreds of billions of $ to decontaminate towns and nearby areas but outside of that there's still higher radioactivity. Inside the reactor there are areas where you can still die from radioactivity with just an hours dosage; other areas are ok for up to a month per year before it's deemed unsafe. (Google how ionizing radiation affects body and dosage) Most of the work however will be done in nearly complete safety of control rooms and external areas and done with robotic cranes and equipment requiring only minor time present by people inside the sarcophagus let alone near the corium and reactor components. It's estimated to take all this century (ie till 2100) to completely clean the site. Well done to all those who worked on this and the taxpayers of the countries who financed the confinement.
The area is very much uninhabitable. Radiation is a numbers game, its all about your dosage with regards to time. Exposure to a higher than normal doses for a short period of time carries a relatively low risk - for example having a chest x-ray. Visiting the site now carries a low enough risk, given the time you spend there is short but you absolutely could not live there. The prolonged radiation dosage would kill you. Oddly enough, despite reactor 4 exploding, reactors 1-3 were still operating. The Ukraine was so dependant on its power that the Chernobyl power station didn't shut down until 2000. That being said, I wouldn't want to work there...
I met a guy who was present at some special operations group during the evacuation. He is now a heavy drinker and smoker and says he regrets everything they did during the evacuation. Should've asked what is it that they did over there exactly.
I wonder if water from the area of plant is still contaminated, I watched other videos and vlogs on this theme and nobody says something about that and also how they managed to extinguish the core of the nuclear reactor, is not burning even today?
I loved how when the worker was asked on the train. What do you think about Ukraine taking over the site do you think they are ready he responds with yes I think WE are. I think it shows a level of comradery that is not always felt or seen in that region.
Workers are facing some of the highest levels of radiation they've encountered so far.

Hope someone can take a photograph of the reactor after the Sarcophagus is taken apart.
Union Pacific 4432 Yeah i want to see that too.
There's a lot of footage of workers walking inside there on youtube
Chernobyl: I was the world's worst nuclear disaster
The kyshtym disaster: I'm boutta end this whole disaster's career
5:54 windows error - first thought... its happen again!!!
THIS WAS GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS AND THIS JUST CAME TO ALL OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
Cost 1.8 billion. Imagine, Jeff Bezos can do this 75 times with his own money, and Ex President Mubarek 330 times!!! (with stolen money btw...)
If he does, he have to find the liquidation in his own stock. Shorting 1.8mil $ worth of stock once may trigger a recession in price and he have to sell more to have enough 1.8 mil (may be he have to sell 2.4 2.5 mil $ worth of stock to have 1.8 in cash)
And then he have to convert it in EUR which further lower his liquidation and dillute his cash.
And since he sells stock. He have to pay taxes, fees, insurance, etc...
Thats alot of damage, not include his position in the company will be weaken
@@anvutrong6870 Dude Bloomberg spent $600M of his own money no problem.. why is this delusion still around
@@griffin8062 proof?

@@griffin8062 okay,so Bloomberg net worth is come mostly from his self-made company, which is still a private company, so we cant legitimately know how much cash he have, or how much he had sold
And we are talking about Jeff, Amazon, which is a JSC, much difference, you know?
Wait a min, he went underneath that goliath of a building and he seems oblivious to the fact that there is a lot of radiation there... How???
You can be there for a few minutes each day, after all the reactor itself it's inside the concrete layer they built shortly after the meltdown.
It looks so small from the inside shots but then you see it outside and it looks just fucking massive
VICE please do a piece on new Belarus power plant that is being built carelessly by russia and it's near to our border and a major city here in Lithuania.
You're right to be worried. www.yahoo.com/news/russia-confirms-extremely-high-readings-radioactive-pollution-184627359.html

Uhm, Chelyabinsk where they detected that, is the site of where Russia has dumped tons of nuclear waste into lakes and the open air. As they mentioned: The Mayak facility.
The Urals are nowhere near the Lithuanian border.
It's completely unrelated to what Vaggiz said.
Good update Vice. Clean up of contaminated material will take a generation. But it has to be done.
How are they walking around near the ground zero without any protection? I'm confused, I thought 1000sqm was inhabitable.
this make me confused too
The areas outside the new confinement are now all ok to walk around however the ground, objects, flora and fauna still has some contamination and will so for many thousands of years. There are even some micro bits of the graphite and nuclear fuel still around the plant. (Search youtube) Belarus which took most of the impact of radiation spent hundreds of billions of $ to decontaminate towns and nearby areas but outside of that there's still higher radioactivity. Inside the reactor there are areas where you can still die from radioactivity with just an hours dosage; other areas are ok for up to a month per year before it's deemed unsafe. (Google how ionizing radiation affects body and dosage) Most of the work however will be done in nearly complete safety of control rooms and external areas and done with robotic cranes and equipment requiring only minor time present by people inside the sarcophagus let alone near the corium and reactor components. It's estimated to take all this century (ie till 2100) to completely clean the site. Well done to all those who worked on this and the taxpayers of the countries who financed the confinement.
@@AusWoodsy thank u for that info😁 it still throws me off when ppl actually know what their talking about n u definatly know ur shit my friend👍
The area is very much uninhabitable. Radiation is a numbers game, its all about your dosage with regards to time. Exposure to a higher than normal doses for a short period of time carries a relatively low risk - for example having a chest x-ray. Visiting the site now carries a low enough risk, given the time you spend there is short but you absolutely could not live there. The prolonged radiation dosage would kill you.
Oddly enough, despite reactor 4 exploding, reactors 1-3 were still operating. The Ukraine was so dependant on its power that the Chernobyl power station didn't shut down until 2000. That being said, I wouldn't want to work there...
Check out Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higgenbotham
In the beginning I thought he was gonna say “30000 people use to live here, now it’s a ghost town”
Why did I get ad about why we should use nuclear energy?
43 thousand people uses to live here, now it’s a ghost town.
Get out of here Stalker!
Digital Thor can’t wait for his game. He’s always watching
I’m here after the Chernobyl trailer for HBO.
43,000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town
I feel special because I noticed that the crane from metro 2033 in the d6 bunker is the same as the one in Chernobyl.
50,000 people used to live there you know, now its a ghost town
I met a guy who was present at some special operations group during the evacuation. He is now a heavy drinker and smoker and says he regrets everything they did during the evacuation. Should've asked what is it that they did over there exactly.
What are they going to do with the debris and/or remains of the exploded reactor #4 ??
They threw the debris into the core
Interesting. I'll adlmit to being ignorant about this; I never realized it was such an ongoing process. Fascinating.
I wonder if water from the area of plant is still contaminated, I watched other videos and vlogs on this theme and nobody says something about that and also how they managed to extinguish the core of the nuclear reactor, is not burning even today?
Anyone else here from bald and bankrupt’s vlog?
I came here after he bought Kolya some groceries.
The worst nuclear accident before Chernobyl was in the UK at windscale in the 50s...
Imran Zakhaev joined the group.
Quick shoot his arm off and get chased by a helicopter
He is in shock, give him a medic!
I feel like the show has been everyone a nuclear physicist or an engineer, espeically when you have watched the final episode.
Huh... Lots of Lithuanians were taking there as "volunteers", most of them died out..
Not only lithuanians, all of us eastern europians had the piece of the pie.
I loved how when the worker was asked on the train. What do you think about Ukraine taking over the site do you think they are ready he responds with yes I think WE are. I think it shows a level of comradery that is not always felt or seen in that region.
Did everyone forget about Fukashima ?
5:22 reminds me of that one scene from THX 1138
