on a research/ demo reactor sure, like you see a schools, but actual working reactors the only time you would see anything is during refueling, theres a Giant cap that covers and seals everything in when it's operating.

Unsurprising. But at the same time, kinda fair. If a coal plant burns down you get a fire. If a has plant burns down you get an explosion.

If a nuke plant burns down you get a multi-hundred-if-not-thousand acre area rendered effectively uninhabitable for humans.

They actually fucked things up by releasing the feed water into a reactor that no longer existed that then flooded the tanks and the basement

>um, you don't get to bring geiger counters

Is that a MWRAP?

The actual reactor part? Very rarely - the things are built to run until end of life (usually about 30 years unless extended) and if they break before that then there is a far greater underlying problem that's about to present itself.

So they're kinda kept to spec unless something major goes ahead in the world that requires immediate change. Its a major fault power stations have with parts and OEMs going obsolete making it very hard to repair

That wasn't the issue.

The issue is that the plant grounds were bathed in radiation in excess of 15,000 roentgen/hour. You'd take in a lethal dose in 8 minutes, and incur enough to permanently damage you much much faster than that.

They couldn't approach reactor 4 on the ground at ALL.

You have to remember the heat spike from the SCRAM is what panicked the Chernobyl operators more than they should have which ultimately lead to the reactor becoming too unstable.

This was my understanding as well. Supposedly this spike causes the heat to cross the breakdown threshold and crash the graphite fuel rod channels, which caused the control rods to jam in place.

This obviously made a meltdown all but inevitable.

That's one of the reasons I'm so fascinated with the Chernobyl disaster. It was an industrial accident that necessitated a military response. They needed a literal army to fight it.

It's almost like it was a beast, some sort of manmade dragon, and it took that much effort to corral it and trap it back in the pit from whence it came.

But commies are way less efficient when it comes to this. Their only answer to dealing with more skilled armies or bad situations is literally send more and more men into the grinder until the fight is won just like in

Yeah. Design flaws caused the reactor to be super unstable at low power. The test caused steam voids to occur in the water channels, causing a massive heat spike, which the engineers pushed into unrecoverable criticality when they initiated SCRAM.

Well there is also the fact that a slurry must by definition include a medium (such as water), and the core would have just vaporized the medium, ejecting it everywhere.

Would have just made a bigger mess

What would have been the best way to address this situation without pushing the off button? Slowly insert control rods in a sequence rather than all at once? Pump the core with a shit ton of water?

Unknown. Theoretically if the engineers had known about the graphite caps they could push in one control rod at a time, but the core may have already been son unstable that even one would cause it to blow.

Or perhaps the heat growth was so severe that even if one rod didn't tip the scales they couldn't have gotten them all inserted in time.

There were so many flaws crossing together that morning that by the time the operators realized something was wrong, the explosion may simply have been inevitable.

Well, probably not, but the slurry boiling off also means the sand and boron goes away too - instead of collecting on top of the pile it would flow down the sides. So you're not actually solving the problem.

anyone have a webm of the dude saying not great, not terrible?

Of the 600,000 total liquidators (only 240,000 were in action during '86 and '87; rest were maintainance later on or reserves), the estimated number of deaths is less than 10,000. Only 54 deaths are directly attributed to the accident, the rest are estimates based on the increased rates of cancer/other shit in the liquidator population.

Aside from the people whose job was directly involved with nuclear shit (engineers, scientists, etc.), the only non-military liquidators obligated to assist the clean-up were firemen and doctors. The vast, vast majority of cleanup was done by members of the armed forces. They were ordered to assist, but combating existential threats to the survival of the nation is what the army is for. Even so, it's not like their lives were thrown away. Almost all liquidators did not exceed their lifetime radiation tolerance because of careful procedures. For a slightly increased risk of cancer (far less than drinking vodka and smoking will get you) they were national heroes and received generous pensions. Of course, these pensions got fucked after the SU was destroyed but you can thank Yeltsin and friends for that.

Nuclear power plants are designed to be boring.

This is because when things at a nuclear power plant are NOT boring, they are extremely likely to kill you and most of the surrounding area.

So dumping it from 400 feet is better? direct injection would have quelled the fire faster and produced less emissions than just letting a a bunch of Mi-8 pilots shoot their cum on it.

Why couldn't they just catapult bags of sand and boron on the reactor?

Go get your fuckin shinebox

too short range and not invented in 83

Why didn't they just bomb the reactor into submission?

Oh wow can't believe I couldn't put the two together. Shit is funny.

uhhhhh, chernobyl happened in 86

giant led parachute too cover the core

Too close to NATO airbases, I thought to that myself just dump a nuke on a it and say it was "test ground"

Its so hot you need a lake to cool it.

whatever, dude. its just a telly show

>not catapulting the boron to another catapult in succession

They technically still have them and plenty still receive a pension but almost none of them got it from '91 to the mid-late '90s (because Russia/Ukraine/Belarus were literal mafia states with 3rd world life expectancy). A lot of the documentation got lost in that time so many liquidators either never got it back or had to go through a long and painful legal battle. And IIRC the pension has been cut/otherwise diminished because the oligarchs running the shitshow couldn't give a rat's ass about the men who saved Eurasia.

It's only a small part of the tragedy that was the breakup of the Soviet Union. I'm not a tankie but it's blatantly obvious that the people of the former SU (with the exception of the baltic states) would be better off. That's what its people thought then and, of the people who were alive back then, still think now as well.

ah, now i follow

>dry
Why not wet it then since the cores heat will evaporate water before it even touches the core?

>dumping it from 400 feet is better
YES, because dumping it means no fluid medium. A dry dump means the boron stays where it lands, sealing the core in.

Can't wait for the endless conveyor belt of people having to shovel graphite off the building and then getting told it doesn't exist.

Yeah the Soviets were well known for honest and accurate record keeping when it came to embarrassing figures. Chernobyl is the best known and researched, but the Soviets had dozens of serious nuclear fuckups (Kyshtym, Andreev, etc.) and even nuked one of their own secret cities by accident in the 90’s (Seversk/Tomsk). Not even to mention test sites like Semipalatinsk where they were actively using residents as human test subjects.

The Soviets were totally fucked, and russia is little better. We will never actually know how many people have been killed or hurt due to nuclear incidents there.

Seemed the most sensible option to be honest, the risk of 40 nukes going off over 1 I don't think it was worth the time the plan actually took, but they pulled it off I guess.

Ozyorsk accidentally nuked itself too, and is still a “closed” city.

Only true for delusional old farts who are just nostalgic for their younger life in general.

People didn't give a shit about Lenin and all the auxiliary crap infesting their private lives by the '80s. It's not like a free market democratic society was forced on them, there were anti-Soviet uprisings. Referendum for independence passed with 90% of Ukrainians in favor of it. In Romania they shot Ceausescu and his wife like a dog.

Estimated by the UN and outside observers. The direct deaths are universally understood to be minimal, the disagreement is over how much cancer rates increased. The differences of opinion are in large part due to shitty data collection in the 90's during the anarchy. Unless any of those other accidents happened in the 80's its outside the historical context im talking about.

Putin is all the bad shit with none of the good shit.

Bad shit under both:
>corruption and bureaucracy
>One party rule with quasi-democracy (late USSR was actually a more "full" democracy than Putin now)
>alcoholism (way worse now)
>autistic amounts of overspending on the military
>economic reliance on natural resources (only reason Putin's Russia was even slightly relevant was an enormous spike in oil prices that allowed him to pave over the worst effects of the collapse)
>commieblocks (yes they still build them)

Good shit the USSR had that modern Russia doesn't
>world-class scientific research
>higher life expectancy
>a e s t h e t i c s
>comprehensive social services
>world-class military (modern russian one is a shadow of its former self)
>best education system in the world (at least for the sciences)
>a sense of national purpose that wasn't built on being butthurt about losing the above
>social and cultural cohesion (SU was always conservative with its social norms and normalized relations with the Orthodox Church in the 80s)

Good shit the former USSR has now that it didn't then:

Point is there is no way to actually know because even today the Russians are incredibly secretive concerning nuke related incidents. They’ve had actual nuclear weapons detonate in and near “closed” cities and successfully covered it up.

“Difference of opinion” with regards to numbers of victims are due to the Soviets and now Russia actively hiding and covering up data related to nuclear incidents. There is no way to know how many deaths were directly resulting from the Chernobyl incident because there is no way to trust the Soviets/Russians.

Why does radiation poisoning cause you to throw up? Is it just because of the normal vomiting reaction to being poisoned?

Borderlands 1 Remastered
Radiation is an element in 3 so it's tangentially related, maybe you can take iodine to become immune to it

What radiation poisoning?

Nobody, there is no core

Slightly incorrect on that one; mortality has gone down to '80s levels in the past few years but for 20 years russia had the worst rates in the world

With regards to Chernobyl, the only deaths the SU could have covered up were those prior to international observers/aid workers arriving. While it's possible more did die, the scientists and engineers portrayed here, including dissidents like Legasov, did not say that the 54 direct death count is off significantly. The other thousands of deaths were years later from cancer and other radiation induced diseases. The soviet and russian governments did not have the resources to manually comb through individual medical records to scrub out tens of thousands of cancer deaths. I don't deny that in other cases the Russian/Soviet government has tried to hide their fuckups, but in the case of Chernobyl most of the uncertainty comes from a lack of reliable medical data on complex diseases during the 90's.

Your body interprets it as poisoning I suppose

reactoridle

Yes.
Your body knows something terribly wrong is penetrating you to your chromosomes and all it knows to do is “ f this shit, time to purge”. Diarrhea is also a common side effect but much less glamorous in television.

You're delusional, a core can't explode. Must be the feedwater.

I didn't realize it's just five episodes. I was wondering tho how they were gonna stretch it over one or multiple seasons
