Chernobyl/Kinobyl

Fuck off tripfag

false. it will take days before any real physical damage occurs

the rock wasnt hot. also, plently of people in the first episode got open wounds all over their bodies from the radiation.

I finally watched it. I liked how understated the soundtrack was. It really blended well with everything else that was going on on screen and felt like a natural part of the background, it didnt draw too much attention to itself but still was able the amp up the intensity of scenes when it needed to. It works especially well with the nature of the radiation amd the way in which its treat is presented to us.
The bit with the slow pulsing noise that happens when the onlookers play in the ash which i think cuts to a guy heading to one of the more dangerous areas made my stomach turn

>false. it will take days before any real physical damage occurs
Lmao what? Where is this coming from?

31 people from 3.6R/h? Sounds about right.

The rest only died 20-30 years earlier than they should have.

check it out yourself. radiation wont make wounds appear as fast as they show on the telly

i got btfo by some nerd who did research a few threads ago
turns out the maximum radioactivity of a piece of core material was only around 1/5th of the radioactivity required for (near) instant wounds

Not the kind of show to watch while eating if you're squeamish. What food btw

How does radiation damage you exactly? Its particles shooting through you right? How do symptoms stick around and slowly kill?

>should i watch?
It is unequivocally the best TV show made within the past 5 years so, nah, you can skip it.

Such a thing had never happened before in our modern history. That’s why it’s more than just a mere explosion or accident

what the fuck are you talking about. he picked it up like it was nothing. it was implied that it was so radioactive it fucked his hand up

didn't some people get instant wounds?

It's like being struck by lightning, but more insidious. The particles are mostly photons, specifically gamma rays, which have enough energy to shake apart the molecules in your cells. Your body has no insulation for gamma rays, so you develop burns inside and out.

different radiation does different things, alpha doesnt penetrate skin (but causes terrible damage if ingested, which a lot of the liquidators inadvertently did) beta has shallow penetration which causes sunburn like symptoms, gamma punches right though and damages cells on a molecular level

>this glowing rock from the uranium mine is really cool!

your dna is constantly replenishing/repairing it's cells, making little machines called proteins to do this, also just operating in general

imagine if the instructions that tell it how to do this are destroyed

Can I touch it?

I would love to see a source for that, and the methodology by which it was determined.

yeah, aparently the low iq guy didn't make the mental connection between a shinny rock and a uranium mine

cell = building with construction/renovation
dna = blueprints
proteins = construction equipment
radiation = blasting blueprints and construction equipment with explosives and machine guns

Cherenkov radiation would never last that long/far outside the reactor

No. A handful of raw uranium ore has about as much radiation as 10 bananas.

there is no tripfag here, you're delusional comrade

I feel my cells fear everytime i look at this

Radiation in the form of photons knocks electrons out of the air. This electron-knocking is the same mechanism by which lightning becomes visible.

no, it was ironization of the air. the radiation was so intense at the burning core that it was literally tearing air molecules apart. cherenkov really IS mild.

fake news
uranium ore extracted from the ground would never be anywhere close to this potent

GET WATER INTO IT

so geologist in fake story was being a retard like i thought

radiation fucks up your DNA. Our cells are programmed to reconstruct ourselves and keep us together, when radiation is involved it deprograms the cells and they no longer know what the fuck is a human and start destroying you from the inside out.

too much power somehow got diverted into reactor 4 and it exploded (water was sublimated into hydrogen) the core then went into uncontrollable fission (meltdown)
it can
the water they use to cool the core and generate steam to turn the turbines, they incorrectly assume the tank which cycles water exploded rather than the core itself

the water pumped in from the pripyat river to cool the reactor. NPPs need a constant source of cool water to cool the core down thats why they are always on rivers/lakes/the ocean

The issue is that the amount of radiation needed to cause instantaneous third/fourth degree burns through a glove would've turbo-fucked everyone nearby within minutes anyways, AND it would've been immediately felt. There's no scenario where the dude picks up a chunk of radioactive material, holds it for several seconds, puts it down, and then a few minutes later has his hand falling apart.

He “suicide” was a huge fucking deal in the Soviet Union

Probably, but

After everything settles down, he turns on the Russian population and helps the government cover up the incident. He's exposed and his life is ruined, so he khs.

I'm taking the liberty to assume feeding the hole with more water is a mistake, right?

toppest kino. you could see every irradiated pore on his face

They said, "There's nothing there." They went to their deaths to pump water into a ditch.

these sound like very trivial nitpicks for the most part, which means the show has been very diligent about getting things right

it's not that adding water will make things worse, it probably just won't do anything at all

>The KGB monitors Legasov at night. Exaggeration. In 1988, the KGB was no longer up to Legasov. In the USSR, destructive processes began, which then led to the disintegration of the country, so nobody would be engaged in round-the-clock surveillance of some scientist who could write something in his memoirs. During the perestroika in the newspapers of those times it was already possible to write anything, including about Chernobyl.

this was explained in the podcast - Legasov's tapes went public IRL but nobody knew how they were leaked, so they invented a subplot about someone (the agent) finding his tapes

>1) Why did it explode?

* Test to see if latent steam in turbines could power water pumps in the 45s gap between grid power loss and diesel generator takeover.
* The test required a specific power output.
* They were supposed to power down the reactor to test levels slowly.
* Electrical grid needed power so they kept it running high, then dropped it fast to stay on schedule.
* The result was Xenon poisoning and the power output dropped way too low.
* Rather than abort the test they disabled safeties and pulled nearly all the control rods.
* RBMK reactors have a positive coefficient of reactivity. This means water coolant is a control and as water is lost reactivity increases.
* They cut grid power to the pumps.
* Water pumps spinning but slowing down.
* Steam voids forming in core as water flow decreases.
* Feedback loop: Reactivity increases > Xenon burn and more steam > reactivity increases.
* Somebody scrams the reactor.
* RBMK reactors have graphite tips on the control rods. Graphite is a moderator. So when you scram a RBMK reactor until the control rods are in place there's actually a spike in reactivity.
* There's enough heat to deform the control rod channels so they stop 1/3rd of the way.
* Xenon burned off, there's nothing but steam in the core, and graphite is stuck a third of the way in = literal fission bomb.
* There were two explosions. Evidence indicates that one was literally a fissile event. The core blew itself apart, blew the top biological shield off, and once oxygen rushed in anything that could burn did burn.

>2) Why can't it explode?
It can.

>3) What's the Feedwater? A term they used a lot in the episode but I didn't quite get what the fuck were they talking about.
Coolant water that's contaminated because it circulates around a fucking nuclear reactor core.

Literally just needs some water

>tfw we get to see what happens to Khodemchuk

Explain how a RBMK reactor explodes you fucking retard, I swear to God half the people on this board are braindead delusional mental imps

Nothing. Their deaths were meaningless. They were pumping water into a ditch, like mustache said.

Sounds like capitalist lies to me

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster#Experiment_and_explosion

ok but did you lower the contol rods or not?

Dyatlov did nothing wrong, it was the KGB for holding back critical information about RBMK reactors

But water is a good shield against radiation right? So could you in theory have a suit that was surrounded by water and stand near a radioactive source and not get hit much?

I can't wait to see The Elephant's Foot in 4k, also to watch the guy in a radioactive gear still die by radiation after looking at it.

I don't know what the suit's for, but you might need a lot of water.

I don't know why people in this thread are assuming that something that cannot explode, actually exploded. Doesn't make much sense to me.

No, see, that's where they all went wrong. Reactors don't want water. Reactors need Brawndo. It has what reactors crave.

I can make things a lot worse for you user. Now get to the roof and tell me what you see.

So you did your dissertation and got yourself published in the uni library? Nice.

No I mean say a magical suit that had water around it. Or say u were in the bottom of a pool next to the reactor. How deep does the pool need to be in order for the radiation to lot affect you? It's almost 7 in the morning and I'm tired so I'm very stupid atm.

Our great advances in technology allow our citizens to tan even on the most overcast days! FUCK capitalism!

tl;dr - 7cm of water cuts radiation level in half. (Gamma rays since Alpha won't penetrate paper and Beta won't get far in water.) You need 2.5m to reduce fuel rod radiation to sub natural background radiation levels.

it's not meaningless. i got internet shut off for a week once. next time it's off for good. been torrenting for a decade at this address, so they eventually got me.

used a vpn for the last 2 years but it apparently shut off for a second long enough for my isp to detect it. fucking sucks.

Are you seeding?

Thanks. This was interesting. I can't be bothered looking uo that lord of the rings Eagles photo, but why don't they build the reactor inside a huge squared room, that in case of an accident can be filled with water.

Filling it with water just means contaminating something that can leak out. Every reactor needs a concrete dome like most western reactors have. Three Mile Island was a nothingburger precisely because the dome contained everything except a minor leak through a ventilation system.

That's interesting. Thanks for actually answering my dumb question in a good way. Based user.

You're welcome. And it wasn't a dumb question. We use pools to safely store spent rods so it's natural to wonder if that could work for the core itself.

And it would except when something has gone wrong you can expect fission products and damage that can lead to leaking. Which is why concrete works better there.
