>The Goiânia accident was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on September 13, 1987, in Goiânia, in the Brazilian state of Goiás, after a forgotten radiotherapy source was taken from an abandoned hospital site in the city. It was subsequently handled by many people, resulting in four deaths. About 112,000 people were examined for radioactive contamination and 249 were found to have significant levels of radioactive material in or on their bodies.

>The Instituto Goiano de Radioterapia (IGR), a private radiotherapy institute in Goiânia,[1] was just 1 km (0.6 mi) northwest of Praça Cívica, the administrative center of the city. It moved to its new premises in 1985, leaving behind a caesium-137-based teletherapy unit that had been purchased in 1977.[5] The fate of the abandoned site was disputed in court between IGR and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, then owner of the premises.[6] On September 11, 1986, the Court of Goiás stated it had knowledge of the abandoned radioactive material in the building.[6]

>Four months before the theft, on May 4, 1987, Saura Taniguti, then director of Ipasgo, the institute of insurance for civil servants, used police force to prevent one of the owners of IGR, Carlos Figueiredo Bezerril, from removing the objects that were left behind.[6] Figueiredo then warned the president of Ipasgo, Lício Teixeira Borges, that he should take responsibility "for what would happen with the caesium bomb".[6]

>The court posted a security guard to protect the hazardous abandoned equipment.[7] Meanwhile, the owners of IGR wrote several letters to the National Nuclear Energy Commission, warning them about the danger of keeping a teletherapy unit at an abandoned site, but they could not remove the equipment by themselves once a court order prevented them from doing so.[6][7]

There is no problem. Head to the roof comrade

His problem is retarded subordinates causing a steam explosion and them running around like headless chickens whinging about how "the reactor is gone" and "the core is exposed" and what not when everyone with more than a 3rd grade education on nuclear physics KNOWS that RBMK reactors CAN NOT EXPLODE.

I'd be brusque as well if I was him.

>On September 13, 1987, taking advantage of the absence of the guard,[7] Roberto dos Santos Alves and Wagner Mota Pereira illegally entered the partially demolished facility. They partially disassembled the teletherapy unit, and placed the source assembly – which they thought might have some scrap value – in a wheelbarrow, taking it to Alves's home.[1] There, they began dismantling the equipment. That same evening, they both began to vomit. Nevertheless, they continued in their efforts. The following day, Pereira began to experience diarrhea and dizziness, and his left hand began to swell.

>...On September 16, Alves succeeded in puncturing the capsule's aperture window with a screwdriver, allowing him to see a deep blue light coming from the tiny opening he had created.[1] He inserted the screwdriver and successfully scooped out some of the glowing substance. Thinking it was perhaps a type of gunpowder, he tried to light it, but the powder would not ignite...

>On September 18, Alves sold the items to a nearby scrapyard. That night, Devair Alves Ferreira (the owner of the scrapyard) noticed the blue glow from the punctured capsule. Thinking the capsule's contents were valuable or even supernatural, he immediately brought it into his house. Over the next three days, he invited friends and family to view the strange glowing substance.

>On September 21 at the scrapyard, one of Ferreira's friends (given as EF1 in the IAEA report) succeeded in freeing several rice-sized grains of the glowing material from the capsule using a screwdriver. Alves Ferreira began to share some of them with various friends and family members. That same day, his wife, 37 year-old Gabriela Maria Ferreira, began to fall ill. On September 25, 1987, Devair Alves Ferreira sold the scrap metal to a second scrapyard.

That last scene was probably the biggest NOPE moment of my entire life.

People volunteered for that.

>The day before the sale to the second scrapyard, on September 24, Ivo, Devair's brother, successfully scraped some additional dust out of the source and took it to his house a short distance away. There he spread some of it on the concrete floor. His six-year-old daughter, Leide das Neves Ferreira, later ate a sandwich while sitting on this floor. She was also fascinated by the blue glow of the powder, applying it to her body and showing it off to her mother. Dust from the powder fell on the sandwich she was consuming; she eventually absorbed 1.0 GBq and received a total dose of 6.0 Gy, more than a fatal dose even with treatment.

Water. These are main circulation pumps.

it seems that dumping five thousand tons of poopoo and peepee on the tripfag was the right call, comrades but now we have a different problem

looks like the molten down remains of the tripfag mixed with human waste and urin and the remnants of his chair and computer have now fused into a highly cancerous mass of material we call 'cringium'

if we do nothing it will seep into the groundwater and turn all the men into incels and all the frogs into faggots

>Yuvchenko, now 42, recalls what happened that terrible night 18 years ago. He is a bear of a man, 6ft 5in tall, and a former Soviet champion rower. You can't help but notice his left arm, which is half the size of his right and shiny with scar tissue. His wife, Natasha, sits nervously on the edge of her seat.

>"There was a heavy thud," he says. "A couple of seconds later, I felt a wave come through the room. The thick concrete walls were bent like rubber. I thought war had broken out. We started to look for Khodemchuk (his colleague) but he had been by the pumps and had been vaporised. Steam wrapped around everything; it was dark and there was a horrible hissing noise. There was no ceiling, only sky; a sky full of stars." A stream of ionising radiation was shooting starwards, like a laser beam. "I remember thinking how beautiful it was."

>Yuvchenko went with a party of men to recce the damaged reactor hall. He stayed outside, propping the heavy reactor hall door open with his shoulder. The three men who went in all died within two weeks. "You don't feel anything at the time," he explains. "We had no idea there was so much radiation. We met a guy with a doseometer and the needle was just off the dial. But even then, we were still only thinking 'Rats, this means the end of our careers in the nuclear industry. We all thought, 'We've been exposed now, this has happened on our watch' and set about doing what we could. After about an hour, I started to vomit uncontrollably. My throat was very sore."

A made up character.

>On 21 May 1946, with seven colleagues watching, Slotin performed an experiment that involved the creation of one of the first steps of a fission reaction by placing two half-spheres of beryllium (a neutron reflector) around a 3.5-inch-diameter (89 mm) plutonium core. The experiment used the same 6.2-kilogram (13.7 lb) plutonium core that had irradiated Harry Daghlian, later called the "demon core" for its role in the two accidents. Slotin grasped the upper 228.6 mm (9-inch) beryllium hemisphere with his left hand through a thumb hole at the top while he maintained the separation of the half-spheres using the blade of a screwdriver with his right hand, having removed the shims normally used. Using a screwdriver was not a normal part of the experimental protocol.

>At 3:20 p.m., the screwdriver slipped and the upper beryllium hemisphere fell, causing a "prompt critical" reaction and a burst of hard radiation. At the time, the scientists in the room observed the blue glow of air ionization and felt a heat wave. Slotin experienced a sour taste in his mouth and an intense burning sensation in his left hand. He jerked his left hand upward, lifting the upper beryllium hemisphere and dropping it to the floor, ending the reaction. He had already been exposed to a lethal dose of neutron radiation.

>Over the next four days, Slotin suffered an "agonizing sequence of radiation-induced traumas", including severe diarrhea, reduced urine output, swollen hands, erythema, "massive blisters on his hands and forearms", intestinal paralysis, and gangrene. He had internal radiation burns throughout his body, which one medical expert described as a "three-dimensional sunburn." By the seventh day, he was experiencing periods of "mental confusion." His lips turned blue and he was put in an oxygen tent. He ultimately experienced "a total disintegration of bodily functions" and slipped into a coma. Slotin died at 11 a.m. on 30 May

I had no idea that Chernobyl was almost an apocalypse for most of Europe. They came so close to those other reactors going up. I am on board with the people that say we should have more nuclear reactors but holy Fuck does it give you second thoughts after hearing about how close we have come to doomsday with these fucking things.

>How do you dramatize a great big mess? The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster is a subject full of gripping detail and historical and scientific import. But as a story, it’s hard to get your arms around — sprawling and repetitious, dependent on arcane particulars of physics and engineering, marked by failures to act and by large-scale action that accomplishes nothing.

>“Chernobyl,” a five-part mini-series starting Monday on HBO (in coproduction with the British network Sky), takes what you could call a Soviet approach to telling the tale. This is incongruous, since one of the messages of the program is that Soviet approaches don’t work. But there it is: the imposition of a simple narrative on history, the twisting of events to create one-dimensional heroes and villains, the broad-brush symbolism.

Ohhhh god it's real. twitter.com/jcwilliams_/with_replies

That scene did not happened irl. The commission was in Chernobyl, it was not gathered in Moscow.
"The pool-bubbler will make a steam explosion" was Ryzhkov's concern when the heat signature of the "lava" disappeared from the thermal imager mounted on the heli on 2nd May. Ryzhkov ordered 30km zone evacuation as well as draining of corridor 001 by pumps, so people would be able to access pool-bubbler's valves which was done on 5th May.

so, will season two be about fukushima?

It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth, the real danger is that if we hear enough lies then we no longer recognize the truth at all.

>The standard protocol was to use shims between the halves, as allowing them to close completely could result in the instantaneous formation of a critical mass and a lethal power excursion. Under Slotin's own unapproved protocol, the shims were not used and the only thing preventing the closure was the blade of a standard straight screwdriver manipulated in Slotin's other hand. Slotin, who was given to bravado, became the local expert, performing the test on almost a dozen occasions, often in his trademark blue jeans and cowboy boots, in front of a roomful of observers. Enrico Fermi reportedly told Slotin and others they would be "dead within a year" if they continued performing the test in that manner.[12] Scientists referred to this flirting with the possibility of a nuclear chain reaction as "tickling the dragon's tail", based on a remark by physicist Richard Feynman, who compared the experiments to "tickling the tail of a sleeping dragon".[13][14]

I dont know if I understand why this core was fine after criticality but e.g. reactor fuel is fine to handle before use but once critical is split into nightmare demons and unsafe for humans.
Why didn't the core become dangerous, I guess it didn't decay into more dangerous isotopes or something?
The best part is when some guy was explaining it weeks later with the same fucking core and set it critical again. What a dope.
Legit terrifying, so is the one where they put a source in a woman's asshole and accidentally left it there and then ignored all the warning alarms and took her home before it fell out and anyone realised.

When the power drops too low, at least in the case of this reactor (which allegedly had some faults in it's design), the reactor has a chance to shut down - not unlike a car stalling. If the reactor stops completely, not only does it look bad on you and everyone else on the staff, you have to go through the process of getting it started again. And repeat the test. So you need power low, but not so low that the stability of the reactions is compromised.

It has to do with how RBMK reactors work. When you attempt to lower the power it actually spikes it. This is part of why the reactor exploded when coupled with shutting down the diesel power keeping the cooling water going. It was an attempt to self sustain the reactor cooling on its own power, IIRC. But instead, it exploded, because of this critical RBMK flaw.

:(

Core is controlled by rods inserted from the top to absorb radiation and stop chain reaction. Low power means rods are far in and radiation/heat/power is all at the bottom, instead of the middle.
Also, low power doesn't burn off xenon produced by the fission, which interferes with the reaction. That's why they had to pull the rods wholly out to get it going again, which is bad.

>Workers at Forsmark reported the case to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, which determined that the radiation had originated elsewhere. That day, the Swedish government contacted the Soviet government to inquire about whether there had been a nuclear accident in the Soviet Union. The Soviet government initially denied it, and it was only after the Swedish government suggested they were about to file an official alert with the IAEA, that the Soviet government admitted an accident took place at Chernobyl.

That's the point. In the show "the west knows" made Shcherbina start evacuation which is a blatant lie.

Really stupid to make one woman represent all the scientists. Was it really that hard to write like three scientists, all working in different fields, discovering separately that something was wrong. Instead we get le omniscient smart wamen shoehorned in.

Why is this show so terrifying, lads? I get this uneasy feeling through the episodes.

Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station in New Brunswick:

In 1990, assistant plant operator Daniel George Maston was charged after he took a sample of heavy water, contaminated with tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, from the moderator system and loaded it into a cafeteria drink dispenser.[13] Eight employees drank some of the contaminated water.[14] One individual who was engaged in heat stress work, requiring alternating work, rest, and re-hydration periods consumed significantly more than the others. The incident was discovered when employees began leaving bio-assay urine samples with elevated tritium levels, one with particularly unusually high levels. The quantities involved were well below levels which could induce heavy water toxicity, but several employees received elevated radiation doses from the tritium and activated chemicals in the water. It is believed that Maston intended the exposure to be a practical joke, whereby the affected employees would be required to give urine samples daily for an extended length of time.[15]

Fucking based

She's smug and condescending.

>Your bones will rot, forever destroying your ability to create new blood cells. As you near the end, your immune system will completely collapse, your lungs, heart and other internal organs will begin to disintegrate, and you’ll cough them up. Your skin will eventually break down entirely, all but guaranteeing infection. One man from Chernobyl reported that when he stood up his skin slipped down off his leg like a sock. At high doses, radiation will change the very fabric of your DNA, turning you quite literally into a person other than the one you were before. And then you’ll die, in agony.

I can't recall how big those tanks were but imagine a couple thousand gallons of water instantly vaporizing. Th explosion would have been gigantic and taken out the other reactors with it. Doomsday scenario.

Fuck him, spineless retard. He is one of the main reasons the Union collapsed.

So basically just shoot me?

Or maybe the Soviets were ill-prepared to handle their war gains for more than a century.

thought that giving people rights (glasnost) and introducing free market (perestroika) would make the people happy, end the Cold War (since the Ruskies were economically exhausted and couldn't keep up with the US, especially with Reagan in charge) and save the economy from meltdown.

Instead, all it did was let people openly talk about how shit the USSR was and how they'd be better off without it. And the economy melted down anyways.

It was mainly Ryzhkov's concern. In reality corium never reached the pool-bubbler.

Yes but with a billion million trillion bullets

damn, almost half of the planet died then

IT'S JUST A PRANK, BRO, WHY ARE YOU MAD?

Who's reinstalling stalker?

by war gains, he means Eastern Europe

I wish this picture had him vomiting blood into the cup. Please lads, make my dream come true.

The 2-5 MT figure is based on a report by an actual soviet nuclear physicist. It's likely he was bullshitting to get people to take the disaster more seriously, or he was doing the 'atmosphere on fire' level of worst-case estimation (nuclear physics has very wierd margins of error).

The rest of the figures are completely legit, however - the tertiary explosion would have destroyed reactors 1-3, adding more fuel to the fire, and then their coolant systems likely would have undergone similar catastrophic failure, releasing the whole smash into the atmosphere and with it enough radiation to kill most of Eastern Europe.

how about u fGS get me anew thread?

user, you have to go to the roof

Not that big hugs its difficult to know just how bad it would have got.50 million people dead, most of eastern Europe uninhabitable, then dealing with how far the radioactive debris and ash cloud etc etc etc. It would have spread so far a clean up would have been impossible.

Him flipping that page made the whole scene hilarious. It was so fucking loud and dramatic meanwhile everyone around him is freaking out.

next ep when? the imdb page is confusing

how about both of you go take a look at the graphite on the roof, and stay there.

Tuesday night US east coast.

>he thinks eastern block = USSR
At this point you might say NATO=US.

>Thinking it was perhaps a type of gunpowder, he tried to light it
folks are dumb

The only benefit from having Eastern block was bigger market for USSR cuz western countries embargoed it.

I think I know why it's so wierdly scary.

Because it's real. The dialogue may not be, the characters might not be, the events might be a bit switched around (the heli crash happened several months after the disaster, not on day 3) but the danger is very, very real.

The melted mass of concrete, uranium and graphite is still there, entombed in the belly of the plant. It will still kill you if you look at it wrong. And it will still be there, and STILL be hot as hellfire, when you are dead and dust.

It's a manmade monster, like some dragon or demonic beast, sealed away, never to be disturbed again. But it's trying to get out. Always, every minute of every day. And it will outlast the tomb. It outlasted the first, it will outlast the second, and I think it will outlast the third.

It is patient. It is deadly. And it still will be deadly long after every man alive today is dust.
