- On 26 April 1986, it was decided at Chernobyl to take advantage of reactor number four's downtime by carrying out a safety test on an emergency core cooling feature.
At 1.24 am, an engineer recorded in his diary that the protective system was not working. At the same moment, a huge and catastrophic surge in power caused two explosions.
As fires raged, the core of reactor number four was destroyed. A huge cloud rose into the sky, spreading large amounts of radioactive fuel and materials into the atmosphere.

Don't like ur own comments it's sad

MAAM CAN I GO THERE FOR VISIT🙂
A moment of silence for the fire fighters that thought it was just a fire.
yes😥😥
Rip
:(
F
I knew it wasn't a fire they only thought that at first but then they found granite on the ground
It’s not that the fire fighters weren’t properly equipped, they weren’t properly informed like the rest of prypiat about the radiation levels
Josh true, they were hiding everything for the sake of hiding it, and it obviously didn’t work out too well.
All the sudden everyone is an expert after watching the new hbo series
They didn't know enough about necular energy to be properly equipped
Its news. Newscasters has minimum knowledge too you know. `~`
I get what you are saying But it was 1986
Chernobyl explosion portrayed by 1 sentence:
"Technician turns a normal city into a wasteland."
Not one technician. A whole culture.
no "GHOST TOWN".

It's really sad that they wouldn't let surrounding areas know when Chernobyl blew up at the time when it happened . There would have been a lot less loss of life and I actually remember hearing about it at that time I was like 11 years old after it became public.
Sounds like covid.

@@Ravenf00t i know you aren't apologizing to me, but you dont need to apologize, assuming they were 11 when Chernobyl happed, they'd be about 48 now :)

I feel deeply sorry for all victims including you. People didnt deserve this! Hope it's not too bad and you can still enjoy life! Love you sister, stay strong! A German brother

So theres gonna be a movie about this
Ohhh man great
Paul he cant see the future you know? **Lmao you replied to him 7 years later**
Yeah it’s awesome nd acknowledged by residents on IMDB
@Paul They're actually talking about Chernobyl Diaries from 2012
And HBO here we goes
Broooooooooo sickk
If those firefighter's didnt pump water out of the reactor's cooling tanks as well as the three men that climbed into the tanks and shut the vavles. It would have caused a reaction with the core "as it was melting into the concrete right above the tanks" it would have resulted in a large nuclear explosion "steam and debree" that would have made much of europe uninhabitable for years.
I'd say theres still much that we dont know about that fateful day.
Not technically a nuclear explosion, but on the same scale nonetheless.
At 1.24 am, an engineer recorded in his diary that the protective system was not working. At the same moment, a huge and catastrophic surge in power caused two explosions.
the way that all of us came after russian invaded chernobyl's ukraine

No it was not that building had a name on the top and there was an opening
The fact you can actually see the core on its side at 0:53 onward. Just sitting there on sideways with the fuel rods on the end glowing red hot.
That's not a fire down there. Those are the Fuel rods melting down
I worry about the people that even filmed it .
That’s not the core. The glow is from the core. The “coin” shaped object you see on its side is the reactor lid. It weighed about 2000 tons and was tossed up way into the air like a flipped quarter and it landed back like that on its side.
To add to my previous reply, the core is actually quite deep in the debris.

Chernobyl is the example of why communism and authoritarianism in general is and always will be a fairytale

Chernobyl Reactor number 4 ‘hold my graphite rods’
It’s sad that nobody knows the real truth and what really went on inside Chernobyl
My guess is someone thought they knew what they were doing and made a very bad move
no, you're wrong.
@@casnarrator4043 NO ur dumb!
Moral Of the story: Dont Press The AZ-5 Button
ok
And don’t try to save money by not perfecting the reactor
The AZ-5 button is for the test they had to use it, if they did spend the money on the plant to make it perfect intend of saving money, it would have never happend
@@anamikaanamika517 the AZ-5 button is used for a total reactor shutdown by activating all control rods at once, that wasn’t part of the test it was used as a fail safe after testing went wrong, how is everyone so misinformed
It wasn't that button's fault
If anyone wants to understand the human side of what happened, I strongly recommend Svetlana Alexievitch's "Chernobyl Prayer". She won a Nobel Laureate in part because of this book.
Thx
Okay first they dropped boron and sand not lead
Second they were not "Ukranian authorities" they were Soviet Union's Ukranian authorities.

It was not a test on an emergency cooling system. Its was a turbine rundown test. It was to see how long the turbines, both TG 7 and TG 8, could keep spinning for until the backup diesel generators would kick in and take over from the turbines pumping water through the core. The test had been delayed for months. Unit 4 had been in commercial operation for just over 3 years at the time if the accident and the test should have been done way before when it was completed in 1983.
Mista was right number 4 is dangerous...

I've never seen this footage... is that real, where you can see in red colours (I guess at night) how the reactor seems to be burning? Was this moment really recorded in the very night of the accident?
it is true, you can even search up 'chernobyl' and you'll see pictures of the fallen structures and buildings, and evem the theme park that was probably there. you can also see a picture of a baby, that's head is bigger. due to radioactive air near.
@@great_flames That wasn't my question. I only asked about the scenes where you can see the fire / reactor burning which seems to be in the very night that the accident happened. But I don't think that this was recorded. No fireman takes cameras with him in case of an emergency like that.

To everyone wandering: it was not a nuclear explosion like a bomb, it was a normal explosion, that caused radiation to leak and other explosions
Who came here after HBO CHERNOBYL
Don't be scared Peppercorn, that's how"open"they were. The Russia wanted free slaves from united states. Like super expensive slav3s right awayso they lost the US slaves
This video will get more views after Russia taking control, pray for Ukraine tho
DUDE MY STARTING AD WAS ABOUT EAR WAX
Ok please explain how an RBMK reactor explodes?
Very loudly
it is known to have design defects, the most notable is the positive void coefficient (read up on it its worth it)
secondly given the poor operational usage by the men in charge, leaving the rods out of coolant so long they became warped and wouldnt move under heat/stress.
false readings from inside the core led operators to leave rods out for longer than required,
power dropped way below expected and acceptable levels,
then spiked rapidly.
by this time it was self sustaining and a bomb waiting to happen
the rest is as you probably already know
hope this helps
You're delusional RBMK reactors don't explode
@Kailas K thank you for your explanation, very helpful 😂😂😂

its been sneaking in slowly
i just realized that this happened on my birthday
The incident occurred few weeks before my birth
A friendly reminder, the roof of the reactor weighted over 2000 tons and got flipped like a coin.
This is sad
I'm very sad for people who left they're town and the one who died

You are showing the map of Ukraine and talking about "Ukrainianian authorities tried to hide the disaster".. How can you show responsible a nation and a country for the wrong decisions of the Soviet Union while they were not independent? + It was not lead what they dropped but boron and sand. Lead was used for giving some protection for the likvidators against radiation. Please take more care as journalists to be historically and scientifically correct. Thank you!

So, I’m on my monthly time right now and watched an episode of Chernobyl. At the end of the episode, a bird died from the radiation, so I started crying thinking of all the dogs that died because of Chernobyl. I’m a sensitive little girl, and it just broke my heart. 😂 like, imagine adopting a new puppy the day of the explosion and then it having to be killed because it’s now radioactive. Oh no... I’m doing it again. Okay bye.

How many died??
