/RBMK/ Chernobyl - Episode 3 in 3,6 hours

Kursha-2 was a bad fire made worse by idiots in the local Soviet, killing about a thousand, since it was 1936 it was mostly covered up so they could just make shit up

why did the flashlights stop working?

Soviet tech.

radiation fried all electric stuff

BORON? PFFFT SURE YOU WOULD DUMBASS

THOSE WHITE CISHET M*LES AT PRIPYAT CAN'T DO SHIT WITHOUT MY HELP

YOYOYO LEGASOV U MADE LAVA STEAM GO BOOM YOU EGGHEAD BIGOT

YOU AINT SHIT YOU AINT SHIT

DAS RIGHT GORBIE IMMA STRONG SMART WOMAN HEAR ME RAWR

calm down user, it was only 3.6 roentgens

Pripyat probably would have been as clean as it is portrayed, the city itself was less than 20 years old and everything was new, that's one of the biggest tragedies of Chernobyl, a comparatively brand new city was abandoned

shouldn't we all take iodine pills?
with the amount of radiations and what not we are exposed daily...

Why did I see graphite in the last thread?

You get it from salt.

1. RBMK reactors cannot explode.
2. The Soviets told me this and they would not lie or make mistakes.
3. The radiation level is only 3.6 rot, nothing to worry about.
4. That man is delusional.

it only works against radiation from ingesting iodine 131 by displacing it in your thyroid

Don't be ridiculous. Of course you will.

Why the fuck did Legasov feel the need to correct Gorbachev over 50m people? It adds nothing to the point that was being made and merely made the super-boss man himself look bad.

Seriously he's lucky he wasn't shot for that. Tyrants have executed people for less.

Big reveal: Legasov was a closet homo.

I'm from Poland and while nothing much happened in my country because of Chernobyl some things did happen.
My mom told me she was working in the garden and suddenly a huge swarm of mosquitoes and other flying insects swarmed Warsaw and we're smashing at windows and randomly dying all around even causing car crashes. They were essentially forced to stay indoors for 2 days due to insects and various animals going crazy. The animals at the zoo kept killing themselves and each other, lots of crazy stories.

Yah Gorbachev was pretty chill compared to his predecessors. Imagine if someone like Stalin was in charge during Chernobyl. He'd force people to kamikaze into the core holding bags of boron and sand.

Don't feed the retard, user. Let him alone with his miserable ignorance. It's funnier that way.

yes, completely in the dark

guys, guys, radiation doesn't even anything those 3 guys who go down into the water LIVE! 2 of them are still alive today!

this proves for a fact that radiation is totally harmless and this is all just another liberal conspiracy.

NEVER HAPPENED IRL

SMOKE WAS WHITE

Would they have been able to take lit torches down there? Wouldn't they know beforehand that the radiation would fry the flashlights? I'm a brainlet, forgive me.

Fucks up batteries and overall electicity i guess.

But what possible meter?

Highly energized particles strike bits of the wire and mess with its chemistry and lattice structure, this continues until the material's chemical properties have been altered enough that they no longer function properly.

So some worker doesn't disapear it and pawn it off on the black market.
Real reason is probably because they are precise tools and need adequate storage

Because it didn't really happen. IRL it was a cakewalk and all of them made it out alive and lived their natural lives.
Although the scene was cool and all - it was suspence for suspence's sake.

They survived and lived for decades, it wasn't that dangerous actually

Wouldn't the initial explosions in this scenario have caused the dreaded third explosion much faster by blasting the roof off the reactor and dumping the above water on the reactor?

It seemed very dangerous when they were volunteering for it. They just got lucky that the water level was much lower than expected.

The big problem with women scientist isn't that she's there - fine, they wanted a stronk womyn to act as composite character for other scientists.

It was rather the introduction that was stupid. shows up halfway the disaster, in her own car, is escorted in by security, and immediately points out what is wrong with the plan. This is ridiculous.

In stead they should have introduced her in the scene where Legasov was waiting to enter the politburo meeting, as a second scientist they put on the committee. Then have them investigate things together or whatever.

Fukushima had 3 meltdowns due to emergency cooling being taken offline. Chernobyl only had 1. But Fukushima was contained at least.

All memes aside, scientists do have a tendency to over-state the worst case outcomes in just about every disaster scenario, so the fictional woman's behaviour is probably pretty spot-on. I wonder why that is.

It was.
>12 years after the disaster, the then Ukrainian president, Leonid Kuchma, complained that his country was still waiting for international help.
>chernobyl arch was fully paid for by the EBRD, so basically France and Germany

One of the few benefits of an authoritarian regime is the fact that would be hooligans, street criminals and graffiti "artists" would get their heads bashed in and their bones broken by the milicija (commie police). Rights? Criminals don't get that.

uranium heats water, turning it to steam to spin turbines. that's it

Based communism

1. radioactive material is hot
2. run water over the radioactive material to make steam
3. use the steam to turn a turbine
4. connect the turbine to an electrical generator
5. interrupt the radioactive decay rate using control rods when necessary

>Fukushima had 3 meltdowns due to emergency cooling being taken offline. Chernobyl only had 1.
Yes, and?
Who gives a shit about such a random number, consequences of these meltdowns are all that matter, it's just sensationalism for sweet sweet clicks

I would assume that it encourages some sense of urgency. That's what I would do.

Yep this. There's no victim culture in Russia. If you act like a fool, you get beat like one. It's a very effective form of punishment to keep people in line. Plus you know, there's no dindus constantly rebelling against muh racist popo.

Because overestimating the danger tends to have better outcomes than if you underestimate it.

What does a nuclear reactor even do? How does the energy it generates help people and power their shit?

well i'm personally glad you lodged a valid criticism instead of just saying "le reddit xD"

this man is delusional

brb making a nuclear reactor in my kitchen

You use oil and electricity to boil water.

Did you even watch the second episode?

And?

generates steam to spin a turbine. it's how most power plants work; they all just use different sources of energy to make a turbine spin.

>What happened next runs contrary to every English-language account ever written prior to 2016, which all said these men died. After a daring mission to drain Chernobyl's flooded basement by firemen, three of Chernobyl's staff donned wetsuits, strapped two dosimeters to each man and ventured into the depths of the plant. Radioactive water came up to their knees in places. Pictured is one of them, Alexei Ananenko (right, with the walking stick), in April 2018 receiving a medal for his bravery from Ukraine's Prime Minster. The group found the valves they were searching for amongst the tangle of pipes and successfully drained the pressure suppression pool. All three survived their ordeal and continued to work at the plant and lived for decades. Above is a photograph of Ananenko at Chernobyl in April 2018 receiving a medal for bravery from Ukraine's Prime Minister.

Are you stupid? The steam generated from them pushes turbines, which then generate electricity. Electricity goes into people's houses. Nigga do you even critical thinking?

Oh

that's not a bad idea so that's why its cleaner than coal?

>no source at all

This is actually a pretty good idea. With today's engineering surely we could think of a modern well aiming trebuchet?

Yes but if you were in a position of leadership without real knowledge of what's going on, you would want the most accurate assessment, not some doomsday scenario.

Case in point with Chernobyl. It was pretty bad sure, but the direct death toll from the disaster is in the mid-30s. Quite a ways shy from Legasov's claim that "the entire continent is going to die".

I don't see any reason why not.

Isn't this a stupid design? I doubt these guys would work any harder then the people at Chernobyl. Neither wanted an incident and did their best to prevent it. At any rate, if the reactor melts down and the core gets exposed, they'd still have to leave the station and go outside where they'd get hit with a strong enough radiation shower to die days later.

I saw that one nuclear plant design a few threads ago that had a runway into a concrete casket basement to contain the lava which I think is the best and smartest design yet. Your priority should be contain the radiation in the event of an accident, not punish the guys who made the mistake. ....that comes later.

Why is this thread swarmed by retards? We had such nice Chernobyl threads before. Did the GoT fags jump shit?

Where do the bullets come in?

>That absolute MAD LAD helicopter falling out the sky

Did that actually happen?

Well they have their own containment republic, and unlike negroes they are above shitting where they live.

look up nuclear fission. it's the same reason atomic bombs work except you DONT want them to explode like an atomic bomb. you want them to explode really slowly. hence the use of graphite control rods.

well, cleaner in that you're not pouring a crapload of carbon and other particulates into the air from the burning process

but there is spent fuel left afterwards, which you can't just throw in the regular trash

Eat a dick. He tracked them down. Two are still alive and one died at 65 from heart failure. Dyaltov also died of heart failure but some suspect his heart stopped due to radiation.

try again m8. you can do this i'm rooting for you.

I honestly thought a nuclear reactor takes energy from the fission process and directly converts it into electricity.

Steam and turbines? How incredibly gay and underwhelming. Totally destroyed my wonder

>le ebic delusonal infirmary teehee amirite guis
reddit is thatta way

some book author did the research. Them dying seems to be popular due to a BBC documentary from the early 2000s

>Quite a ways shy from Legasov's claim
Because they prevented it??? retard

No, the helicopter is still alive today.

Are you paying attention? Crops in Poland were fucked up for the year. I'm sure there's people in Britain that got hit with a minor dose that was strong enough to cause early onset forms of cancer 30 years later. There's no accurate way of measuring that though - whether the cancer was genetic or environmental.

IM IN CHARGE HERE

Dyatlov received a fatal dose, so yes, it did damage his health. It was surprising he lived as long as he did.

>some book author did the research
well that convinces me

Yeah, essentially its a metal rod that gets insanely hot. No smoke, no dust, just energy.
The whole danger is when the metal rod is NOT inside the specially designed containment cell (the graphite).
We've actually got a new evolution of nuclear reactor on our hands which uses thorium, which iirc is much safer than uranium. Dunno where they are with the prototypes, im not sure any thorium reactors exist yet.

m8 it's in the wiki page about the disaster

>The bubbler pool could be drained by opening its sluice gates. However, the valves controlling it were underwater, located in a flooded corridor in the basement. So volunteers in wetsuits and respirators (for protection against radioactive aerosols) and equipped with dosimeters, entered the knee-deep radioactive water and managed to open the valves.[86][87] These were the engineers Alexei Ananenko and Valeri Bezpalov (who knew where the valves were), accompanied by the shift supervisor Boris Baranov.[88][89][90] Upon succeeding and emerging from the water, according to many English language news articles, books and the prominent BBC docudrama Surviving Disaster – Chernobyl Nuclear, the three knew it was a suicide-mission and began suffering from radiation sickness and died soon after.[91] Some sources also incorrectly claimed that they died there in the plant.[90] However, research by Andrew Leatherbarrow, author of the 2016 book Chernobyl 01:23:40,[86] determined that the frequently recounted story is a gross exaggeration. Alexei Ananenko continues to work in the nuclear energy industry, and rebuffs the growth of the Chernobyl media sensationalism surrounding him.[92] While Valeri Bezpalov was found to still be alive by Leatherbarrow, the 65-year-old Baranov had lived until 2005 and had died of heart failure.[93]

yeah but it wasn't the first, it happened months later , in october and there wasn't that huge column of smoke anymore, vid related

One of those guys was awarded a medal last year and he'd given several interviews over the years.

i'm told its just one, so if any of you have been missing your doctors appointments...

Water hitting the reactor causing a huge ass fucking explosion was conjecture that was later disproved

To be fair, we know the history of countries that actually matter. Like a million deaths in some eastern Europe shithole doesn't even constitute a single letter in a respectable history book.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core
>dishes out lethal doses of radiation in literal seconds
kinda makes core chan look like a bitch honestly

If he had received a fatal dose he would have died of radiation poisoning. He received a high dose and it affected his health. It was actually the second time it happened. He received a smaller dose while working on a nuclear sub. His son died of leukemia.

So in real life, did they even tell the three dudes they were most likely gonna die in a week? Or is that just added on in the series (thinking they were gonna die in a week)?

NEW: NEW: NEW: NEW:

People will claim they are affected by radiation (5% of the entire population of Ukraine claimed gibmedats for Chernobly at one point), but the fact you cannot prove statistically the cancer rate was higher as a result of radiation means the risk was greatly overstated.

Also in the immediate aftermath they made it out like the entire exclusion zone was basically dead and will be dead for hundreds of years if not more. But as it turns out today wildlife is actually florishing again and you could visit or even live in the less contaminated parts of it.

So lemme get this straight:

Dyatlov's decision to flood the reactor and sacrifice two of his staff helped create the doomsday scenario they're facing in episode 2? And the poor firefighters didn't help either?

For the same reason as in the show: the blades hit the construction crane wire nearby.

go back to The Jetsons

Because he did the research and tracked them down? What the fuck is this? Pics or it didn't happen?

Last time the writer went off about how covering up Chernobyl is the same as Trump labeling CNN fake news. I'm sure the next one is him talking about how proud he is of his fictional woman hero character.

>well it doesn't count because I don't know the author, I haven't read his book which is far from obscure, and I can't criticize him whatsoever but I choose to believe he's obviously lying because reasons
BRAVO SKEPTICISM

He was right, an RBMK can't explode when operated properly. They did a test totally outside of safe parameters.

That feel when I never had holocoaster class like most of my burger peers seem to have had

>That evacuation scene

Fucking hell lads

This kind of mentality towards history leads to the guarentee it will repeat.

I've seent the episode two times and have yet to watch it. So far it's pretty good. When I done watch't it I'm sure I'll really like it.

i should this more often

When a source is given to you, either you have valid ciritcisms of that source, or you shut the fuck up

How would you convert it without irradiating the shit out of and breaking said equipment?

Of course it's safe, wtf, you think they just threw this together over the weekend.

B T F O FUCKING JAPS NOW GO DRAW ME MORE CARTOONS WITH BIG TIDDIES

Ukrainian guy is in the thread. I will explain all shit. The core made bada boom cuz gay team were making some gay tests with it and GREAT USSR designer fucked it with it(if u have a question i will explain). Heli in 2 episode really fall down but it was on 2nd October 86. About those 3 mens , one of them has died, other 2 is still alive. All firemens who were hospitalized died in Moscow probably it was some radiation tests, cuz cold war and other shit. Those who were hospitalized in Kiev lived longer. Sorry for my bad English language.

Dyatlov received 3.9 Sv, which kills 50% of the cases within a month. But yes, it was actually his second dose as well.

I should also that

I apologize, must be the feedwater
