Chernobyl

I always heard in documentaries that the three guys that went into the water had to dive. But in the show the water doesn't even reach their balls. I'd also heard in documentaries that they died and were considered heroes of the Soviet Union. Now I'm hearing they didn't even die.

What really happened? Did people just lie and exaggerate the story for drama?

>source: my ass

>The other 3 blocks were separate buildings
Oh OK just let it burn then.

They didn't die. When you read facebookshit-tier meme images at least double check the information.

No, the threat to Reactor 3 was very real as retarded commies coated their roof with (highly flammable) bitumen so unless the fire brigade put out the fire spreading to the roof, it could have easily fucked a second reactor up and then they'd be up shit's creek with no paddle.

Seriously, why coat the roof of an industrial building of any kind, let alone a fucking nuclear power plant, in BITUMEN????

Are there any scientists on here who could answer me?

All these posts and no corechan. Fucking kill yourselves

this isn't the general user
this is just a random thread

This is now a cursed Chernobyl images thread.

Why does everyone have a british accent?

Dyatlov was delusional to the point of denying the possibility that the core was exposed. As such, the firemen were told that only the roof was on fire.
Also, what else were you supposed to do? Let the fire spread? No amount of radio-protective equipment would protect the firemen from the radiation. They didn't really have much of a choice.

>aaagghhh

They thought it was just a fire not a nuclear disaster brainlet.

watch one of the documentaries, plebeian

The show even over dramatized it. Those guys didn't volunteer, there was no 400 ruble offer, it was just the guys on shift and they did their job. Apparently it was a cake walk and the water was barely knee high and none of them died from radiation. One died from a heart attack a few years back and the rest are still alive.

Also supposedly the 3-5 megaton explosion scenario was waaaaaay over the potential actual issue and the corium wasn't actually hot enough to cause such an explosion.

Don't disrespect my waifu

Can someone please post Core-chan's greatest hits? I'm new to these threads.

What is that nuclear ghost doing to him?

It would be nice to have a Chernobyl thread not filled with weeaboos jacking off to drawings

The amount of the misinformation in these threads are pretty painful. I lost it at the one poster who thought graphite was radioactive.

>>nuclear accident
>>send in the firefighters
Japan did this too.

They didn't know better, you have to remember that nobody thought that something like Chernobyl could happen.

How could a rbmk core even explode?

You're mistaken. It wasn't a nuclear accident. It was an accident that happened near a nuclear facility. The nuclears didn't even go above 3.6

It's easier to just give in

you mean the tv show LIED?

t. Vladimir Putin

it was (((6 million))) xrays

what dont you understand? they needed bodies. call in the day shift

But it's was just the roof getting on fire

Bitumen is great to get a roof to be watertproof

>Also supposedly the 3-5 megaton explosion scenario was waaaaaay over the potential actual issue and the corium wasn't actually hot enough to cause such an explosion.
This
Cores don't explode after all

If the molten core reached the water, why would explode? it would just cool down.

I believe this explosion was an exaggeration to add bravery and shit.

all of the water would instantly flash to steam. same thing that caused the initial explosion

you need water to moderate neutrons. fast neutrons emitted by uranium fission don't interact with other uranium nuclei until they shed some of that energy by interacting with the hydrogen atoms in water.

Tвoя цeль эдecь. Иди кo мнe

So you mean to say that the womyn scientist simply arrived to Chernobyl where everything was already under control and then proceeded to babble some bullshit about a 5 megaton steam explosion so that she could seem like she was actually relevant?

If the writers did this on purpose this will be the highest kino of 21st century.

the mixture was so hot it would evaporate the water extremely fast, since the steam would be contained within the tank it would explode because of the the extreme pressure

>Did people just lie and exaggerate the story for drama?
Yes. If you listen to the official podcast, the main guy in charge of the show basically says this multiple times.

Probably the huge pressure from generated steam inside the tank would hypercriticalize the corium and cause even greater heat output. After all, the tighter you pack uranium the more fission will occur.

Yes they did. Less than 2 weeks later they were all dead of radiation poisoning.
This is common knowledge. Retard

Where the hell can I stream episode 2 in Canada? There was a storm during the last episode and my satellite PVR went full retard

This is bait.

... right ?

>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]

the vessel would burst in a steam explosion before it built up enough pressure to shrink the corium. Use your head.

How come the guys didn't apologize to the one mustache dude who got his face irradiated because they told him to look at the core from the roof of the building?

this. OP is a retard that can't follow simple dialogue.

/thread

And let the fire spread to the other reactors? Are u serious?

I have not seen irradiated faces

To get a megaton steam explosion you still need to output megatons energy, the water is just a medium. And if your core output megatons over a few seconds the whole fucking plant would evaporate like if it was an ice cube on a stove, every second

they changed the default language settings to english (UK)

>it's not a good idea to get water to core

This man is delusional

> sorry for killing you comrade
Because then you admit you did something wrong and can get punished

> How in the fuck did anyone think this was a good idea
In the first hour the workers did not really understand what happened.
One of the workers actually looked into the reactor, he died of radiation sickness. Of course, there was no soldier there.
The director of nuclear power plant is still working in the Ukrainian nuclear industry.
Those three people who went to shut off the valves went there simply because they were replaced, they were not offered any incentives in the form of money. One of them died in 2005, the other two are still alive.

Only if he has proof that you admitted it. You can say sorry in private.

bump

>Even a middle school student who took a science class would know that this would solve nothing.
They would know it out of expirience learned from the real event only post-factum

Because it didn't matter, they were all dead and mustache dude just confirmed it
