Most women don't know they're pregnant the moment it happens. It's usually around a month or two in average cases; a few women have even found out they were pregnant when they started giving birth.
Not the moment it happens, but if she missed her February cycle she could've checked then. The only cases I've seen of the women who didn't know they were pregnant were either lying or very stupid. Either way, the evidence points towards her knowing. It's timed too well otherwise.
That read almost as poorly as Baldrick's semi-autobiographical novel in the *Blackadder The Third* episode, Ink and Incapability: _"Once upon a time there was a lovely little sausage called Baldrick, and it lived happily ever after."_
It's fixed in the same sense that I cleaned my room by shoving everything into my closet and under my bed. True, one day somebody will open my closet and be buried under an avalanche of crap, but until then my room's spotless!
I had no idea there was ever a place that was more radioactive than Chernobyl. Damn, I actually learned something beneficial for once on TH-cam. Thanks!
I like how they use "we" instead of "the people in the soviet union". As in, we are all people and as earth is our only home, we all share the responsibility.
I remember one time back in the 70's they were talking about using rockets to put the radioactive waste in to outer space. The idea that a rocket failure as it was high up would be very bad ended it. So, now it is all kept on Earth.

It's weird to me how hard it is to find any information on Lake Kyzyltash, the lake they were initially open-cycling the plant with. All searches about it I could think of either just linked to talk about Lake Karachay (the one discussed here that's buried now) with barely mention of Kyzyltash being contaminated first and canals diverting water around it.
It's called letting the radioactive isotopes decay in a controlled environment. If we just moved it, we'd have a new *most radioactive location* pop up which is a little redundant, dont you think?
@@SonicGenerations1100 there needs to be some better way to deal with it than to bury it. Surely if it's giving off heat they could use it for something
@@burgersnchips unfortunately we as inhabitants of this planet can not "clean" radiation, so i would always be against nuclear energy, and against using in it in any way, until we(someone) in this world find a way to clean out radiation properly and not just cover it with cement.

As someone who's currently writing a report about the Chernobyl meltdown, you cant just "fix" radiation, theres no magic towel or soap you can use to remove it all
+Generic HESH Actually... matter *can* be created or destroyed. It just turns into energy. Example: Nuclear Bombs (E=MC^2). The problem here is the decay of a radio-active element into another releases radiation. We know the half-life of those elements, so we can calculate how long it would take to for the lake to be completely non-radioactive. It just takes an extreme long time in case of most elements. And they will be radioactive for all that time (reducing in strength, but still *hot*). On that note, there are probably some brilliant people researching remediation of radioactive sites, but I haven't read much about it yet. There seems to be some promise using some biological means (which, I assume, will concentrate the radioactive matter in their bodies and allow it to be relocated to a more secure location [like a deep salt mine] -- not perfect but better than an open air site). Long term, the "dream solution" would be reducing their half-life (which is probably nowhere near possible -- please correct me if I'm wrong, my physics is extremely rusty).
Wow! That was so interesting! It is so cool how we fixed it ( sort of) by filling it in with dirt and concrete! If only all of our problems could ( Sort of) be solved like that! Thanks for this video! DFTBA!
we could solve Islam then! let's bury Islamic countries in concrete and dirt, all the everything Islam with it, just keep adding more dirt and concrete on Islam. it'll be like a mound of dirt and concrete with bits of Islam scattered through it like a fruit cake. A big dusty Islam cake (and then we'd bury the name under some more concrete and dirt).
well obviously fukushima sadly, showing it's 2018 and we still didn't learn how dangerous radioactive elements are (btw last year we dumped the radioactive waste water back into the ocean legally since we ran out of space and tanks.. sounds familiar?)
"dumped the radioactive waste water back into the ocean legally since we ran out of space and tanks" that waste water is not radioactive enough to cause concern. only the dosage matters. the waste water won't even be a drop in the bucket compared to the naturally occurring radiation due to radioactive elements dissolved in the oceans.
Didnt explain HOW did they get all the concreting job when an hour was suposed to kill you, which would not be even a minute without breaching radiation worker safety limit. i doubt it was made by robots at that time. so, how?

we STILL haven't 'disposed of our waste safely', the US doesn't have a permanent nuclear waste storage facility. but the answer to 'how we fixed the most radioactive place on earth' being 'we buried it' should... not be that surprising, thinking about it
Problem with you ending. There is no "safe" way to store waste. As you said the mixture is very hot and radioactive. If we had the funding, build RTG facilities. That would solve the issue temporarily, I don't remember the complete decay chain for Caesium and Strontium and Technicium but i would assume it would take a bit of time to decay down to something safe.
What do you guys know and think about that nobel prize (I think the guy's name was Gérard Mourou) about a laser that should supposedly allow to decrease radioactive junk's lifespan by a million years? The research on this application hasn't even started yet so I'm expecting this claim to be tempered in the future, but other than that... is that at least possible in theory?
feel a bit disappointed, as there was 5 minutes foreplay description of the history and like 10 sec of actual ">How We Fixed< the Most Radioactive Place on Earth"
Uhm... How is the special cement controlling the heat? I don't get it. Secondly, was the lake boiling, considering the heat developed by the radioactive material?
"disposed of safely" haha good one. Is there actually any long term storage that is safe? I assume the bottom of the ocean, But I know that's illegal. Or Space, but thats dangerous, also illegal, and expensive.
"...but if we had just disposed of our waste safely, we could have avoided all this mess." I do not believe that it is possible to dispose of nuclear waste "safely". Re: Safe disposal of nuclear waste --- We have no right to make a decision which will affect people who will be born thousands of years from now. The height of arrogance, that.
It's interesting but the title is way too positive, from the 3rd most radioactive place to the 7th is not that big of a change after all. There was recently a radioactive incident of some sort with radioactive winds detected coming from that facility, never clarified AFAIK. So it's still bad, very bad.

4:50 That reminds me of what-if.xkcd.com/29/. Randall Munroe says that if you're treading water in a spent nuclear fuel pool, you might even get a lower dose of radiation than just walking around, because the water will block the radiation from the fuel and normal background radiation. But he concludes by saying that you would die before you even reached the pool.
"we?" You mean if Russia had just disposed of their waist properly. Other countries have procedures for disposing of radio active waist. Wait are you Russian, or this show? Dang i had no idea.
"But if we had just disposed of our waste safely, we could have avoided this whole mess." Your pronoun is misleading. Exactly who is the we you are referring to?
Video idea: Do you really need to wash your apples? I ask this because I am curious what sort of pathogens and chemicals might be on the surface of apples.
Well, pesticides. If you get non-organic apples, they have a decent chance of having detectable pesticide residue on them, and a slightly lesser chance if they're organic. Any of those levels are unlikely to be harmful, but removing most of the residue is still a good thing.
A reasonable video, but I feel it lacked visuals. It felt more like a lecture than a science show. Novels are good, but a few illustrations once in a while help to make it more enjoyable.
The most radioactive place is this place in Russia where this thing underground called the elephant foot and idk why they didnt make a video about that
it always confuses me as to why a substance that can boil off its coolant for many years on end is treated as waste? granted it wouldnt make A grade reactor fuel but you could still generate an awfull lot of energy from it!
My papa was a child when this accident happened. And basically, a lot people in Bali was anxious at that point. The news spread sooo fast that event people in the far kinda village knew about it.
I couldn’t help but notice the people that commented on Olivia’s “frog voice” not even realizing that every one of you probably speaks in a way that irritates the hell out of somebody too, but they were CONSIDERATE enough about your feelings not to point it out.
First, you're not being considerate enough about OUR feelings to claim that every one of us speaks in a way that irritates the hell out of somebody. You just hurt my sensitive feelings while not realizing you're being inconsiderate and hypocritical. Second, if everyone speaks in an annoying, irritating way as you claim, then no one would even notice her vocal habits, they would just be normal. But people do notice because they're not normal, they're irritating as f-ing hell. Third, maybe you should apologize to Olivia for repeating the claim she has a frog voice, and to the rest of us for saying we're all irritating to someone. Fourth, as Olivia would say, ribbit ribbit ribbit croak croak ribbit ribbit...🐸
"If WE had just disposed of our waste safely we could have avoided this whole mess." I'm very confused; it was the Soviet's mess and once WE knew of it, WE went in and helped ameliorate it. Right?
I don't think anyone other than Soviet Union then Russia was involved in mitigation of Kyshtym, the whole region around Mayak include city of Ozyorsk is entirely closed to foreigners.
I wonder if yt blocks this video in Russia? I then wonder if in Russia, they make videos about the leaking radioactive waste around the US nuclear weapon processing plants which yt then blocks in the US ??
I don't think much of anything gets blocked in the US. Now whether any English speaking American would actually want to watch a Russian science video, that is another story....
In Soviet Russia, lake pollutes you.

Wow I didn't know the SciShow guys went by themselves and fixed the most radioactive place on Earth
OOOOOooooo thats hot *_* get it, radiation is hot
So the way to fix a radioactive lake is to convert it into a concrete slab.
yeah, you really don't need some fancy solution to combat radiation. it's so painfully dull, which is probably for the best
Those Soviets never seemed to care for the environment around them.
You can actually see how the lake disappears on google earth.

once there was a radioacive lake it was so radioactive that everyone died the end

I think they meant "we" because the USA and Europe had to help "fix" it.
I meant whenever they refereed to the dumping and such, they usually said stuff like "we didn't learn" and such.
Always seems that the ones who cause toxic disasters rarely take the responsibility of cleaning them up afterwards!

oh my god, just leave the woman alone. who cares about the way she talks? just don’t watch the video if it’s so annoying.
Olivia is the best! Btw, why crop the pregnancy? Embrace it and be proud!
you keep saying WE although you or anyone other than the Mayak facility personnel had anything to do with this
it's strange if you think about it
We as a humanity. We all are sharing this same spaceship we call earth, you know?
Eugene InLaw it’s because you’re selfish that you didn’t understand this.
You say they should of correctly dispose of the waste, but even today it just done storing it some where semi safely.
So what is the correct way ?
I also solve all my problems by burying them under cinder blocks with a layer of rock and topsoil.
Humanity's answer to every f%#k up seems to be "let's just dump it in deep water, that'll fix it"
How's about a single picture of the lake during this vid? Crazy idea?
The most radioactive place is this place in Russia where this thing underground called the elephant foot and idk why they didnt make a video about that
Why does she talk like that??!! That weird throat thing you get towards the end of her sentence?? It’s annoying
it's kind of sad that when it comes to radiation "fixed" means covering it in concrete and forgetting about it
🎵Be a radiator just like you. Radiate it on me. Burn it all through!🎵 -FF5
it always confuses me as to why a substance that can boil off its coolant for many years on end is treated as waste? granted it wouldnt make A grade reactor fuel but you could still generate an awfull lot of energy from it!
My papa was a child when this accident happened.
And basically, a lot people in Bali was anxious at that point. The news spread sooo fast that event people in the far kinda village knew about it.

What are you talking about? They said it was kept secret
My father knew this news, and so do everyone at that ppint. So i dont know if my father was telling the truth. I kinda appreciate his story.
I couldn’t help but notice the people that commented on Olivia’s “frog voice” not even realizing that every one of you probably speaks in a way that irritates the hell out of somebody too, but they were CONSIDERATE enough about your feelings not to point it out.
First, you're not being considerate enough
about OUR feelings to
claim that every one of us speaks in a way that irritates the hell out of somebody. You just hurt my sensitive feelings while not realizing you're being inconsiderate and hypocritical.
Second, if everyone speaks in an annoying, irritating way as you claim, then no one would even notice her vocal habits, they would just be normal. But people do notice because they're not normal, they're irritating as f-ing hell. Third, maybe you should apologize to Olivia for repeating the claim she has a frog voice, and to the rest of us for saying we're all irritating to someone. Fourth, as Olivia would say, ribbit ribbit ribbit croak croak ribbit ribbit...🐸
"If WE had just disposed of our waste safely we could have avoided this whole mess." I'm very confused; it was the Soviet's mess and once WE knew of it, WE went in and helped ameliorate it. Right?
I don't think anyone other than Soviet Union then Russia was involved in mitigation of Kyshtym, the whole region around Mayak include city of Ozyorsk is entirely closed to foreigners.
I wonder if yt blocks this video in Russia?
I then wonder if in Russia, they make videos about the leaking radioactive waste around the US nuclear weapon processing plants which yt then blocks in the US ??
I don't think much of anything gets blocked in the US. Now whether any English speaking American would actually want to watch a Russian science video, that is another story....
The easiest way to stop it being the most radioactive place in earth would probably be to make somewhere else more radioactive than it.
I love your energy in this video, Olivia!
US funding to russia to stop radioactive solution😂,more like russia fixed it not we 😎
Ya know what i can't focus on what you're saying. I'm focussed way too much on some other things
