Guys, I think I have a handle on why this show is so damn scary.

With fiction, it's the fear of the unknown that gets you. You don't KNOW where the alien is. You don't KNOW what the monster is going to do to you. You don't KNOW how the evil curse is going to ruin your life.

But here you do know.

You know EXACTLY where the enemy is - it's all around you, in the dust in the air and the water in the puddles and the tik-tik-tik of your Geiger counter as it silently pounds into you, shaving time off your life until you have none left.

You know EXACT:Y what it will do to you - it will chew through your body, melting your cells and organs from the inside out, damaging you in ways your body cannot repair, so that you will die, slowly and painfully, as bits of you fall apart.

You know EXACTLY how it will ruin your life - it will ruin your life so thoroughly and casually you will beg for death right up until they bury you in concrete in a coffin made of lead.

And worst of all? It's absolutely real. And it's still there.

Entombed in the ruins of the plant, under two layers of lead and concrete, wrapped in a blanket of melted boron and sand...it's still there, hot as hellfire. It's a man-made horror, patient and unrelenting, trying every minute of every day to squirm its way out of confinement and look for new flesh to poison.

It is patient. It is powerful. It blew open its first prison, and outlasted its second. It will almost certainly outlast the third. And it will still be deadly when every man alive today is so much dust in the ground.

Sorry pseud, but that's not why it's scary, everybody knows what radiation will do to you.

Reminder you can't amputate the limb of someone with radiation poisoning because it will never stop bleeding until they're dead.

Somebody go on /x/ and tell them that the pyramids at Giza and are really entombed failed nuclear reactors from an era millennia before glory days of ancient Egypt. By the time the Egyptians started living there the radioactive material had thousands of years to cool off. The Egyptians then refurbished the outside of them, dug little ant-like tunnels, and wrote a great big lie about building them.
Seems plausible enough.

lovecraftian, but like irl
At least people have more of a clue what to do today, Fukushima was handled quite well wasn't it?

If the Pyramids were nuclear reactors that had Chernobyl-level problems they would STILL be radioactive, five thousand years later.

The plant grounds will not be inhabitable for twenty thousand years. It may in fact be the most permanent edifice of mankind on the face of this planet.

They were lying to themselves because they didn't want to be responsible for what happened, didn't you watch the show?

fomin and bryukhanov were just having a laugh

They probably legitimately had no idea just how bad the situation truly was, and hoped they could simply pretend things were fine and correct whatever was wrong with the resources at their own disposal so their reputation and/or jobs wouldn't be at risk.

Fukushima was handled as well as it could have been.

The Fukushima disaster was an interesting case - one where the meltdown was not caused by mismanagement but by entirely external forces. The plants were built to take an earthquake - the subsequent 15 metre tsunami was the issue.

STALKER might not be, but TV shows about the game certainly are.

Attached: 1557840584216.png (600x792, 455K)

IRL they did not lie, the fact that the core was exposed was known before the governmental commission arrived to Chernobyl. Bryukhanov was in such shock that he could only stutter. Fomin had no idea what to do with the open core.

Dyatlov saw the graphite on the ground. He knew from day one, he just refused to admit it.

He didn't see graphite on the ground.

delusion powered by fear. They feared the state above all else, literally more than a exploded nuclear core. When they were dragged away by the military in episode 2 it was not the radiation they feared, but the punishment from the state.

Yes, and he pretty much projected his own denial onto Fomin and the other guy, who simply opted to go along with it.

If you were actually a fan of the games, and not just a insecure fanlet desperately trying to prove his love for the series to himself, you'd remember what the last attempt at making a STALKER tv show was and why it's for retards instead of taking negative said about STALKER as a personal affront.

Scary to think this is only a toe dip technology wise. Just imagine the dangers related to reactors made out of things much more powerful or a catastrophic failure at an eventual fusion reactor.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

yup, the Americans and British are just bullying the Soviet Union. sad, I cried desu

It's not 100% accurate, but it's not supposed to be a straight documentary. It's accurate enough where it counts though, and very compelling to watch.

Irl they did lie about how much radiation was leaking

The power of Soviet doublethink. The eyes can see one thing, the brain another. He looked at the graphite fuel channels and said 'no, that's just debris'. But he knew.

He knew.

This wasn't ouchi. Actually this probably isn't even radiation related.

It would be no harder to presenr this fact as it was. If you preted you do not understand the intent of the authors you are only making yourself out an idiot, as it is obious. The show is filled with deliberate malcontent, this being a mayor and easily depicted one.

I'm guessing Acute Radiation Sickness

We know it wasn't there though, are you stupid?

Fusion reactors are much safer and cleaner. If one were to explode somehow there might be some tritium released but there would be no runaway chain reaction.
The contamination would be tiny compared to a fission reactor meltdown, and the half life of tritium is only about 13 years.

Acute Radiation Syndrome. Specifically, where the immediate effects of radiation (the hemmorhaging, the diahhrea, the burns, et cetera) kill you instead of the numerous side effects (immune system weakness, blood problems, thyroid problems, infection, literally every type of cancer under the sun).

Because global warming will do it faster if we don't.

Safer does not = completely safe. I'm not going to read bout how hypothetically safe a hypothetical reactor is.

>"At the Pripyat Hospital later that morning, she could barely recognize her 25-year-old love, Vasily Ignatenko. He was bloated, his eyes swallowed by flesh.

She still didn’t know the nuclear reactor had exploded during a routine maintenance check, spewing uranium fuel and radioactive graphite. But she knew something was terribly wrong. Over the next two weeks, she watched her beloved die a grotesque death.

“Every day I met a brand-new person,” she told Ukrainian journalist Svetlana Alexievitch 10 years later. (Her story is captured in Alexievitch’s wounding book, Voices from Chernobyl.)

Lesions broke out on his precious lips and cheeks, and then peeled off in white film. His body turned blue, red, grey-brown. The skin cracked on his arms and legs. Boils swelled into place. His hair fell out in clumps.

“He was producing stool 25 to 30 times a day. With blood and mucus,” she recounted.

“The last two days in the hospital — pieces of his lungs, of his liver, were coming out of his mouth. He was choking on his internal organs. I’d wrap my hand in a bandage and put it in his mouth, take out all that stuff.”

Honestly that was my first thought.

Army engineers can easily assemble something that can deliver payloads like that and you can pretty much launch one "bag" every like minute or so.

Nuclear is green energy

The burns on the outside were nothing compared to his internal organs literally liquidating and being coughed/shit/bled out. Radiation poisoning at those levels basically makes your body forget how to be a body. I think I'd rather burn to death.

>we required uranium reactors to produce nuclear weapons.
That's not how nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons work user. Thorium reactors use a mix of thorium and spent fuel rods that wouldn't get hot enough to continue boiling water on their own. If anything a thorium reactor needs a conventional reactor to produce spent rods to turn into thorium fuel rods. Nuclear weapons require completely different isotopes that are much more refined, far more unstable, and most importantly - completely removed and independent from nuclear reactors.

I already wrote a resopnse for you here

That's called cross-contamination. It's a serious hazard when it comes to dealing with ARS, but it's distinct from contagiousness.

Regarding Pikalov's death. It's not released either. They don't publish it for military staff.

The byproducts of civilian reactors (most notably : Plutonium) are highly coveted as raw materials for making military fissile materials. Why do you think civilian power plants are a highly sensitive subject and under severe scrutiny by the international community in countries like Iran ?

Reactors using Thorium, and in particular molten salts reactors, have a plethora of advantages when it comes to producing electricity, but are terrible when it comes to providing materials for military usage, which is why we are stuck with the current solid fuel / uranium technologies.

Why the fuck did they use helicopters in the first place? just buy some drones and send them with buckets of sand and boron.

Just learn Russian and start reading.

if I literally saved an entire continent by swimming through radiation you better give me cunny slaves for the rest of my life, not some shitty medal

Why didn't they put plows on the fronts of motorcycles and then drive the graphite and debris off the roof?

It was also built (like many big infrastructure projects) to withstand natural disasters upto the range of a 1 in 100 year event. It was hit by a disaster on a scale of a 1 in 1000 year or so event, and overall withstood that pretty well (no major radiation releases)

I am not Russian. I am Yugoslav. Again, despite your firm false belifs. Everythnig you belive about socialist states is the opposite of truth. You have been constantly fed for decaes of vile propaganda. The truth is opposite of what you think it is. Take it from a +35 yo Yugoslav with iq>150 who has seen socialism and capitalism alike.

>That's not how nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons work user. Thorium reactors use a mix of thorium and spent fuel rods that wouldn't get hot enough to continue boiling water on their own. If anything a thorium reactor needs a conventional reactor to produce spent rods to turn into thorium fuel rods.
With a thorium reactor you need an initial neutron source. That can be rods from another reactor type, but that doesn't mean you have to keep an equal number of classic reactors online.

>Nuclear weapons require completely different isotopes that are much more refined, far more unstable, and most importantly - completely removed and independent from nuclear reactors.
Pu-239 can be made in any commercial reactor that uses uranium. Modern US LWRs tend to "burn it up" but even they can produce it given a short fuel cycle.

We literally went uranium for power because of overlap with military use.

That about sums up your intelect. :P

Oil is basically not used for electricity in the U.S. with the exception of maybe one or two plants. The oil industry in the U.S. would have literally no reason to oppose nuclear.

Shitlibs are the ones which fight nuclear. And as much as I like this miniseries, physicist Mary Sue claiming Chernobyl could have exploded with 2-4Mt of force or rendered all of eastern Europe a wasteland...things that could have NEVER happened even if ALL the reactors blew...doesn't help the situation.

Are you retarded? The whole "diving operation" happend on May 5th. Firemen started pumping water out of the corridor on May 2nd. The whole plant's personnel was still working.

Communism was shit. Only good thing is I got a young polish wife due to it.

>let's just ignore Plutonium alltogether
>let's just ignore that the technology is not just the power plant themselves, but also the whole chain of supply, including the fuel-processing and enrichment technology, which can then be used to make military-grade fuel, whereas the technology for Thorium and molten salts power plants would require completely different processes and knowledges which couldn't be diverted to also make military fuel.

Uh, smoking ia bad for your health. Step out and get some fresh air :^)

And two people (at lest) are telling you that you're wrong. The reasons why we went uranium rather than thorium for civilian power are fucking documented historical facts.

Yes and no.

I am a civilian and have worked in reactors that use HEU (Safari-1), and some civilian power plants (Shippingport most famously) used HEU.

As for plutonium it depends on the type of reactor.

A graphite or heavy water moderated reactor has a neutron economy that is good to produce plutonium. That is why the nuclear powers used such reactors to make bombs.

PWR and BWR (the main civilian reactor designs) really cannot be used to make weapon material, however high enrichment allows much longer use before reloading the reactor. a PWR with HEU can go 10+ years before needing to shut down (such as many naval reactors)

yeah ok

Explain Comrade.

*crashes

Why cause a panic? Let them enjoy what little time they had left. At that point he probably thought most of europe was doomed as was his own country and very life.

The issue with Thorium is two fold.

It melts at REALLY high temperatures (1,750°C compared to 1,132°C for uranium) which makes producing fuel for it a hard thing to do (thus many thorium reactors are unusual reactors to skip this step.)

Secondly they need to be fast neutron reactors (breeder reactors) and not the slow neutron reactors that most power plants operate as.

Thirdly you need MOX or reasonably enriched U-235 to start the reactor as it needs a solid source of neutrons before it starts the thorium cycle.

But noone is making new bombs, at least according to regulations.

Memes aside, the first explosion was a steam explosion, they still debate what the 2nd explosion was.

The mining for uranium for civilian reactors probably has nothing to do with acquiring the same uranium for weapons grade production. Probably.

Sand is not a liquid like concrete. You can not pump it through a tube.

Of course people are making new bombs.

Russia is making new bombs, (they decommission old ones and are building new ones) India and Pakistan are making new bombs. Dimona is most likely still in operation in Israel.

Totally nothing, user. Who would try to make weapons of mass-destruction in post-Cold War era? Not Americans for sure.

Nowadays, where the Nuclear Sekrit Club countries have their stockpiles set already, and their own dedicated military facilities for renewing them, yes, there's a clear division between civilian and military nuclear facilities.

But that's missing the initial point of the discussion, which was that during the development years of the atomic era, the choice to go with the current technologies instead of the superior thorium and/or molten salts ones was clearly dictated by the demand for bomb-compatible materials which could be bred in the former type of civilian power plants and not the latter, killing two birds with one stone and reducing the costs.
This is still a thing in wannabe nuclear powers like Iran.

user, are you saying those evil Russians are disobeying the International law?

that's not the point i'm making. You're talking about the current state of affairs as of 2019 whereas i'm talking about the history of how and why we got there

Not Really user, there is some major technical issues with the Thorium cycle.

India has been trying to push the Thorium side since the 1970s (since they have it by the ton) and they are still having serious issues getting a working thorium cycle, and this is a nation with advanced nuclear technology for 45+ years.

>Nikolai Fomin has been a Chernobyl tour guide since 2009 and has over 500 tours under his belt. In his opinion, nature recovers here and even takes over not because of lack of radiation, but because of lack of people. Pripyat looks more like a jungle than a town now.

>“People coming back don’t recognize the place,” Fomin says. “They give me their old addresses and ask me to take them there. They all cry.”

he's still alive

The RBMK reactor has a fatal flaw - the control rods are tipped with graphite so that when they're fully withdrawn they won't act as neutron absorbers. This has the unintentional side effect of meaning that when the rods are inserted, they momentarily cause a power SPIKE instead of a power DROP.

This on its own wouldn't be an issue, but the reactor had been mistreated in multiple ways in the early hours of the morning. Running it at very low power resulted in xenon poisoning in the core, which depressed power output. To deal with this, they pulled almost all of the control rods out, but didn't bother to run the reactor hot to clean the poisoning.

Then, they started the test. The test involved temporarily turning the power to the water pumps off and letting the turbine generator feed them directly under the extremely low power. This was supposed to hold for about 45 seconds, until the diesel generators running the pumps kicked in - a test to make sure the power plant could avoid meltdown in the event of external power loss.

But the pressure was too low. steam pockets formed in the core, MUCH lower than they're supposed to - this caused a heat pocket to develop, which spiked the pressure back up and caused the reactor to double in wattage every few seconds.

Realizing something was wrong, the engineers activated the SCRAM procedure, forcing in all the control rods at once - but the control rods were capped with graphite. The heat spiked even higher, and the graphite fuel rod channels cracked, jamming the control rods in place.

At this point the reactor was in meltdown. The heat increased until the entire core mass melted together, and the water still being pumped into it boiled into steam - this was the cause of the first explosion. The second explosion was due to the steam fusing into hydrogen under the immense heat, and then reacting with the oxygen in the air when the reactor lid breached under the immense pressure.

So it actually exploded twice.

where all my black russians at?

International law does not prohibit Russia from making nuclear weapons user.

France, UK, China (Mainland), Russia, and the US are allowed to maintain and build nuclear weapons without issue.

Israel, Pakistan, and India are allowed since they never agreed to the NPT. South Africa was allowed till the 1990s when they signed on to the NPT,

Oh I know there are major technological and industrial issues for making thorium work.
But let's not compare apples and oranges, shall we?
There were also major issues to be solved in the early years of uranium-based power plants, and the technology now has more than half a century of research, innovation, and budget, across many countries in the world.
Let's assume similar resources and efforts shoved in the Thorium technology before we compare its worth for civilian purpose to what we currently have.

My point was that civilian nuclear reactors were instituted over thorium reactors (we had that tech at the time as as known to be safer) was entirely based around helping the nuclear arms race by having a constant supply of uranium.

Yep, if the test was operated at 700 MW and not the 200 MW after falling to 50MW and having Xenon issues the remaining pressure in the system would have kept the disaster from happening.

Running the test in such a state combined with the flawed control rods meant a double boom.

They had a successfully operating small scale thorium reactor in the 1960s when they were debating which reactors to make for civilian purposes. Maybe India is full of idiots

The simple fact is this.

Thorium has had 50 years of hard core research by a major nuclear power and is still not working.

Uranium power plants work since all you need is pure graphite, natural uranium, and a coolant to make work. The technical challenges of Thorium is two fold.

1) You have to build up your uranium infrastructure first. You cannot have a thorium cycle without a Uranium cycle.

2. Then it develop a whole 2nd set of technologies to make thorium work, and maintain two very different systems.

Also the fuel costs is one of the smallest parts of a civilian nuclear reactor. It all the up front costs that is the killer.

Also, we need new bread.

Yes, the idea been around forever.

The reasons why it was dropped is simple.

1. No one has figured out how to reprocess it in a effective manner at a industrial scale. (Nothing like PUREX)

2. Its very hard and expensive to make the fuel assemblies if you are using a traditional reactor.

3. The cost of maintaining two cycles is cost prohibitive. (and Thorium cycle needs the Uranium cycle, but not vice versa.)

There has been designs to try to avoid the traditional designs, but they have there own issues like the LFTR type reactors.
