  • CHERNOBYL was an horrific tragedy - but very little is truly known about how awful it was - or how it came about and the extent of the cover up. HBO's new series may answer some of these questions.
    Chernobyl is an upcoming historical drama television miniseries created by Craig Mazin. The series, a co-production between American cable network HBO and British television network Sky, is set to premiere in both the United States and the United Kingdom on May 6, 2019. The series depicts the Chernobyl disaster that occurred in Ukrainian SSR in 1986.
    Chernobyl dramatizes "the true story of one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history and tells of the brave men and women who sacrificed to save Europe from unimaginable disaster. The miniseries focuses on the heartbreaking scope of the nuclear plant disaster that occurred in Ukraine in April 1986, revealing how and why it happened and telling the shocking, remarkable stories of the heroes who fought and fell."

    The toxic cloud from Chernobyl covered the entire northern hemisphere and travelled round the globe twice. I'm originally from South Africa and I remember even in the early 90s it was accepted there that the northern hemisphere has higher rates of cancer because of Chernobyl.

      The core itself did not explode. That would suggest a nuclear explosion, which if that actually happened the entire city of Kiev would be a crater, with the amount of fuel that was at the reactor. When the heat from the core reached pressurized water the rate at which temperature increased caused over pressurization resulting containment failure. In laymens terms you would call this an explosion, but in the show when they say that the core itself exploded part of the reason why the operator said that would be impossible is because core explosion suggests a nuclear reaction, which if that had occurred everyone in that room and in 10 mile radius would've been vaporized immediately.

    • @Shunteration
      @Shunteration 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      What happened was that after the steam explosion literally blew the lid off the reactor, air began to leak into the now exposed core. A large portion of the core was made out of graphite bricks, which were used to keep the nuclear fission going in a stable, controlled way. However, these bricks were now grossly overheated, and due to the steam explosion, were exposed to air, and immediately caught fire as soon as the lid was blown off, resulting in a secondary "explosion" (or rather, a rapid inflammation). Thus, the combined steam and fire explosion blew away not only the top of the reactor, but also jettisoned a lot of internal material (mainly the graphite bricks) into the air, and spread it all around the area (which we now know as the Exclusion Zone).

    When the disaster happened, I was 11 years old. I live in Hungary. It is almost 700 miles from Chernobyl. According to my memories, the radioactive cloud reached Hungary 4 days later. There was news of the accident in the news, but there was a lot of secrecy at the time. Then, for a few days, my parents took out this plant from the vegetable garden and burned it. everything was replanted, and then they could only be eaten thoroughly. Then soon the whole thing was forgotten, no one talked about it.

    I’ve read that they had disasters in the 50s and 60s.
    “ In 1957 Mayak was the site of the Kyshtym disaster, one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. The Soviet regime kept this accident secret for about thirty years. The event was eventually rated at 6 on the seven-level INES scale, third in severity only to the disasters at Chernobyl in Ukraine and Fukushima in Japan.” Found that on Wikipedia 😔

My mother was probably the most kind hearted mother around, she never swore or even raised her voice, she also allowed me and my older brother a lot of levity. We were allowed to play on our own outside the house, and she always would call us gently usually for dinner or to go to bed.
    Now why do I say this?
    I vividly remember this exchange happening on the 30th April 1986, my mother stood out on the Balcony and shouted doiwn to us:
    " Rafal! Simon! Get in the house now it's going to rain!"
    "But we could use some cold rain mom-"
    "JUST DO WHAT I SAY YOU LITTLE SHITS!"

On the other hand the screenwriter has been responsible for some pretty bad films and doesn't inspire much confidence. So it could be excellent or awful!

So many people want to save our world but those with the power to do it won't. You guys didn't have to worry so much, you had your children when the world was blissfully unaware of how humanity has damaged it but it simply can't be ignored any longer nor can it be hidden from kids.

    Problem is that your voice in the video is very quiet. So I had to increase the volume all the way up when you were talking and all the way down when you watched the trailer. So the problem itself is at 6:53 , where you edited that very very disturbing sound that I just listened at max volume. My ears, even now after 3 mins as of typing this, are still tickling...

    About kids whatching the series and knowing about Chernobyl... When I was in a fourth grade (or ten years old in other words) our teacher told us about Chernobyl and we watched documentaries about it (not so severe of course, but there was quite a lot info about radiation sickness and the aftermath of the accident). Several years later during the physics classes we discussed the details of the catastrophe (how it happened, the major mistakes, how they could have been prevented and etc, also what safety issues and standards they have in modern nuclear power stations), some of us also visited the first nuclear power station in Russia (Kurchatovsky institute) that year. Now I study in the Uni and behind the nearest chucrh there is a monument for liquidators of nuclear accidents (there were many of them, but on the monuments are only 6 named (all of them occered on the territory of Russia and USSR) among them two major accidents: Chernobyl and Mayak). People should learn about such things since their childhood - that lesson would be learned for the whole life, reminding the consequences of negligence and probably will prevent future accidents.

    Over 30 years and the effects can still be seen over 700 miles away here in Finland. According to EU guidelines, food products offered for sale should not contain more than 600 becquerels per kilo (Bq/kg) of caesium-137. Mushrooms picked in Pälkäne south-central Finland last summer, had a reading of nearly 1,000 Bq/kg. Meanwhile those picked in Hyvinkää, some 60 km from the capital, contained 1,300 Bq/kg. That's all from the fallout, still here.

      At first - cut this number in half. It was not more than 2500 nuclear tests. Second (and most important) is the thing that (who might have guessed), Chernobyl and Fukushima were not created to transform nuclear energy into blast while all of nuclear bombs were, most of them were pretty "clear", meaning that most of their materials were fused and reacted during the explosion turning into a light and blast wave. So the level of pollution even between all 2500 nuclear devices and Fukushima+Chernobyl cannot be compared as the last ones were not designed to use the nuclear material for explosion.

      Fukushima 1 was nothing compared to Chernobyl. Its significance is totally blown out of proportion. The largest problem, by far, was the tsunami damage.
      Topsoil of Fukushima is removed because of radiophobia, not because it is dangerous. Citizens are convinced it's dangerous and are pushing the local officials to destroy valuable topsoil our of pure fear. You can check it out, it's really happening. Fear drives it.
      Radiophobia is what ruined the local society. Not the accident.
      Chernobyl is different. The reason why they're on the same level of INES scale is because the scale is very coarse at the top levels. Logarithmic approach.

    You can tour Chernobyl now, and even get to stand a few hundred meters from the infamous Reactor 4. In terms of radiation, the level in the majority of the area is so low that exposure won’t be harmful to you if you’re only there for a few days. However, it is estimated that the interior of the reactor will be inhabitable for the next 20,000 years. Just imagine that, Chernobyl would be 100% completely free of radiation after 20,000 years...

      Study after study in top scientific journals find that nuclear power plants are far and away the safest way to make reliable electricity. Occupational related deaths due to air pollution in the Coal and Petroleum industry are incomparably worse than in the Nuclear industry. What causes people to be so afraid of the latter is the government's overreaction to the disasters. In the peer-reviewed journal, Process Safety and Environmental Protection, scientists concluded that between five and ten times too many people were moved away from the Chernobyl area between 1986 and 1990. As for Fukushima, they found it difficult to justify moving anyone away from the plant on grounds of radiological protection.

      Let's address if solar power really holds an absolute edge over nuclear energy, other than its main component not being a health risk:
      Much has changed since the last nuclear power plant was constructed in the late twentieth century. New technology is available, efficient and safer methods of nuclear energy have been discovered. The last nuclear power plant was constructed in the late twentieth century. Since then, there have been no new projects to build more. However, despite no construction of new power plants, the technological innovations of nuclear energy continued forth. In the past twenty years, smaller, efficient, and safer nuclear reactors were engineered, but never used. If implemented, these new reactors would mean less space needed to build a power plant.
      In the past few years, nuclear recycling has become a major method in France for efficient energy production. This process would recycle nuclear waste as fuel for the power plant, making the waste less radioactive with each reuse, and would also resolve the problem of long-term storage.There are many safe areas known throughout the globe where there would be no issues of tsunamis, tornadoes, and other natural dangers. This lessens the potential threat of fallout from a natural disaster. In addition, new fail-safe technology is available in the event that a natural disaster may happen. Solar energy requires a lot of mining to produce materials needed for power, which can lead to potential water pollution, deforestation, and habitat loss. Solar power also requires a lot of space. Conversely, space usage is becoming a lesser issue with the new nuclear technology available. Additionally, solar panels need replacement every twenty years, which can lead to more pollution. This shows that nuclear is a better solution in this particular regard. Nuclear technology has advanced rapidly through the decades. The technology available today would be more efficient and renewable in comparison to solar power.
      The idea that solar power is undisputably better than nuclear has become a major fallacy that needs to be addressed.
