anti-nuke propaganda just in time for DOE funding announcements for Gen IV/Molten Salt and new fuel approvals
It's dead.
Third for teamwork
communism
best ways to up my daily roentgen intake?
Take a few million chest X-Rays
bannanas
I dont think my insurance would cover it. I was thinking of just buying some fiestaware and eating off it everyday. Stuff like that.
Molten salts you say?
Eat bananas while taking x-rays in the plane at 30000 feet
Who’s ready for Ulana to give her big speech in front of all those stuffy and mean Soviet men about the dangers of nuclear power? I know I am!
>"To think that's what we put on the moon"
>"Well not that one"
>"I know not that one"
who was in the wrong here?
Legasov for assuming his friend and partner is a retard.
where we find out that the real danger wasn't nuclear reactors at all, but actually heterosexual white men and the patriarchy? yeah I cant wait
By the way in some of the real footage you can see they removed the middle pair of wheels.
>let this tragedy be a warning of the dangers of men and their power
>she looks to the camera
>camera slowly pans to a photo of a young donald trump on the wall
>fades to black
Oh I am prepared to see all those dumb men hang their heads in shame as the powerful women grills into them with slow and meticulous words, and then an ambient screeching industrial sound will transition the scene to a panning wideshot of the Chernobyl plant with a dead leaf blowing in the wind. Powerful...

Honestly I’d be more worried about your fellow generalposters
Why do I see the tripfag in literally every single thread I open?
FUCK THIS WESTKEK PROPAGANDA SHIT YOU FUCKING NIGS GET BACK TO WAKANDA AND LEAVE THE SLAVS
Decided to watch this show bc all of hype. It's great in many aspects, even with all historical incorrectness, but language is bother me the most.
Everybody talk so British/American, so fucking soulless, that i can't believe that characters from USSR. Also, why tf actors can't pronounce their names? Why i hear Дьйaтлoв instead of Дятлoв?
i'm gonna stop by the reactor hall, you guys need anything?
>Considering the show is about the dangers of crafting a narrative detached from the reality for the sake of political agenda, the current US administration fits well into that theme and many parallels can be drawn between the two.
Schichirarbi being pretty smart and friendly was a nice touch.
Iodine QT get dis off of me.
she's not good looking
how do they pick up the control rods? with magnets?
Friendly reminder
I SAID I WASN'T GONNA LOSE MY GRAPHITE
BUT THEN POP
GOES MY REACTOR
They use a big crane.
This, Legasov is that pretentious nerd who thinks everyone besides him is an idiot
Is it me or does he look a bit like early Tony Soprano? I mean before he gained all the extra weight.
scared of arguments that hurt his case
but how do they grab hold of them? they're smooth and all tightly stacked.
SHUT UP YOU FUCKING DORK
>young
he'd be in his 40s wudint he

You can sorta see little slots on some of the caps.
Not Chernobyl but still kino for me.

Not necessarily. He just comes off as an autist with no filter and ability to read into cues and subtext of the conversation.
Was it rape?
Is series that good or just everything else is so bad. I cant tell.

The KGB will hear about this!

Prohibition wasn't total, and they could've snuck in some of their personal reserve.
so a small wall of plastic is all you need for protection against a plutonium core? lol
Everything is fine. Don't worry.

Fiesta ware is perfectly safe to eat from. The problem is when the stuff breaks and you suddenly have radioactive dust floating around and getting into your lungs.
It was a different time.
Most of it is automated these days.
why do we keep pretending there are any non-russian posters in this thread?
isn't that water dangerous? why is it open?
I'm not Russian and I just posted that pic. I can't read what it says but I know what that document is.
where can I buy authentic ukranian 1980's crocs?
Almost all of the radiation from the reactor is absorbed by the water, just don't go in the water
It's completely safe. You'd get a smaller dose of radiation in the water than out of it.
What amount of Roentgen would you say is quite significant?
Sure thing Ivan
How you holding up, /chern/?
lazy
*spits*
Smoking,sunbathing.
smoking just gives you tar, you bloated fucktoy
But doesn't the water itself become radioactive?
Nah, most areas of your average nuclear plant is about as radioactive as your house. The fuel rods are also shielded, so you could take a swim in that pool and you'd be fine.
So I used to work at a university that did research with very dangerous chemicals. I didn't work with them, but I was well informed about them.
One day I was sitting in an empty storage room when I heard a very loud boom sound, then a few seconds later a buzzing klaxon began to sound. I went out into the hall and saw the emergency doors automatically closing and the emergency lights were on. There were no emergency doors between me and the front exit of the building, so I just ran at flat-out speed through the doors and kept going until I was at the nearby university library about a 1/4 mile away. Then I called my boss to see what had happened.
Some canister of gas had exploded in the basement, and two people were seriously injured.
I recall at the time this occurred most of the people in the building just meandered slowly out the front doors as i watched from afar, and later on were seen joking around and carrying on right in from of the building as if no big deal, when any number of extremely deadly substances (including samples of every kind of radioactive substance you can think of) stored in that same building could have been infiltrating their bodies at that moment.
*ptooey*
bye
Radioactive wolves roaming the countryside. Lovely.
Note how the filename is in English.
*are about
You wouldn't be fine down the bottom
Iff it really were that bad they'd be already dead anyway
>7 years of college to stick a rod in a pool and write down what the rod says.
only pity
sounds comfy
please report to the local party headquarters
I don't know why you're trying to prove anything to me desu
slavs don't care. they even pressured europe to build the new sarcophagus. they just don't give a shit
that's exactly what my boss said when I brought it up
>You mind telling me how we didn't spot a 767 redirecting toward New York
No, you'd drown haahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Sure, if you have no ambition or drive.
Well no, but you'd be fine most of the way down.

Kino jumping caps confirmed.
what's the absolute fastest ARS could kill you? if one were to just stand in front of a nuclear reactor how long would it take to boil your brains into putty?
I circled a few of them as best I could
>tfw you report to Gulag and it's a step up.
go socialism!
God damn even the real one was cute in a different way. Who was his wife?
Something that triggered me in ep 1 was all the guards at the Party HQ were wearing soviet army insignia (red) when they should have been KGB (blue)
Ep 2 fixed this at least
>but how do they grab hold of them? they're smooth and all tightly stacked.
the channel caps have a hole in the middle, presumably the refueling machine grabs the caps by that and removes them. after that replacing rods is all done by machine. the channels are all hermetically sealed and the machine goes through a bunch of steps where it has to be lined up, cap is removed, unsealing the channel, the fuel/control assembly is grabbed and removed, fresh assembly is put in, channel is resealed, and the cap is put back on.
On your pic you can see many of them are totally smooth (center of pic) How do you retrieve these?
le 3.6 xd
There are headcrabs in the vents.
>The fuel rods are also shielded, so you could take a swim in that pool and you'd be fine.
You wouldn't get irradiated, but radiation isn't the only danger in a power plant.
Dunno. Guess they have a latch to keep a nice smooth lid but because it's the USSR they don't care to close them for a few? I mean really this is the last place you should be asking these questions.
Those aren't fuel rods.
God, you're so consieted.
SO WHAT ARE THEY THEN FFS V
Arent those inert graphite rods and you kinda stick few fuel rods inbetween?
Wasn't the meeting in ep1 just in some room of the power plant?
youtube.com
have we heard this in the show yet? looking forward to it
also ive got a weird rash i cant explain breaking out on my body and im pretending it's radiation
ama
Seething commies are what makes these threads great. They just accept reality
They must have had some real shitty paint back then.
>inert graphite
I don't even know what you're referring so whatever
based
General Lannister?
>not fuel
Yeah, im fine with calling it inert
Thought the commies liked the show?
Thanks for laying the foundations to this thread's demise you dumb cunt
The entrance looks like it was literally just peeled out of the building.
I just said it to see if you'd consolidate.
I've seen hundreds of commieblocks in my life, but never this bad. Where is the image from
If you stood in front of very strong source of radiation, you would lose consciousness in a minute or two; death would take a few days. There are radiation sources that could kill you instantly, but you won't find them on Earth.
slavland
>Seething commies
literally where
Google Search says Kamchatka.
gettyimages.com
That was the supposed title of the final episode.
So, tomorrow
Sounds believable then
Absolute K I N O lad
Christ. I'm no the floor thanking God I don't live in this hellscape. Hope socialism is eradicated soon.
Pray for earth.
Both. It's an instant classic, but it seems impossibly good when compared to most modern TV.
So not great, not terrible.
>what's the absolute fastest ARS could kill you?
nanoseconds if you were close enough to the sun
>if one were to just stand in front of a nuclear reactor how long would it take to boil your brains into putty?
if it were one of the high powered research reactors pretty much instantly
Pirpyat was a closed military city of the USSR and nuclear power plants were guarded by the KGB. It was a high-priority area and would have KGB guards instead of random army conscripts
>Kamchatka
No surprises then. Though I heard tourists go there for surfing.
He's done because he's done, or he's done because he's done ?
You've never seen them look this good kek
he means dead. he's dead
Socialism is long gone, yet it echoes in post-Soviet countries, with most of their leadership and oligarchy being ex-party members, who got to their posts through nepotism and corruption.
Nah hes done, because hes done.
>I'm no the floor thanking God I don't live in this hellscape.
It's not a hellscape. Yeah yeah it ain't the Holiday Inn but there were many much worse places to live in the world.
gay
*spits in your mouth*
So this is the communism with a human face they were talking about?
Worse? it's like they tried to make it look as shit as possible?
Have some green ones.
Oh no, I've seen them look like that. Plenty of new ones too. They're still shit, but painted with silly colours, with a muh modern design. And they take the soul from the grim gray monoliths Soviets used to build.
extreme capitalisim is essentially the same situation
Good one bro.
People consolidate power regardless of the society. Chinks literally got "princelings" that took over their daddy posts and ex-commie countries are mix between nepotism and standard western country corporate money waving.
I've been hearing people complain about new apartment blocs because they use too much dry wall and aren't as sturdy as the commie ones.
It was ok.
Well yeah, the photographer probably picked the ugliest building for dramatic effect, then the photo go popularized for the same reason.
Life in commie blocks wasn't glamourous, but it wasn't worse than a lot of people living in trailer parks in the USA right now. Do you think those people live in a hellscape?
bros when will get a HBkinO set in Norilsk?
No it isn't, you goddamn idiot. Soviet Union couldn't feed itself, and was forced to buy grain in the West. This is the country which used to be one of the biggest grain exporters in the beginning of the 20th century, and became one again in the 21st.
maybe they use this
True, you could be living in Norilsk. It's both dystopian and actively dangerous for your health.
>The Blacksmith Institute once included Norilsk in its list of the ten most polluted places on Earth. The list cites air pollution by particulates, including radioisotopes strontium-90, and caesium-137 and the metals nickel, copper, cobalt, lead and selenium; and by gases (such as nitrogen and carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, phenols and hydrogen sulfide. The Institute estimates four million tons of cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, arsenic, selenium and zinc are released into the air every year.[26]
Can you please give your weird role-playing a rest? Just converse like a normal person when there is an actual interesting topic here to talk about.
Society just doesn't give a shit about these people. I live in Norway and we don't treat citizens like unwanted weeds.
explain before I call you a fag
I myself live in Khrushchev era commie block when I'm for uni, inside is is renovated, but outside it has that blocky look due to way it was built. Not as ugly as grey brick ones though.
i'v been working on the ITER construction site no more neet life
do a bing search for norilsk you nerd
Yeah sure lets lift the half a ton, fuel rod with a suction cup rated for 30kgs.
>With one hand.
I miss when these generals were full of /sci/ fags posting interesting complex shit about radiation and factchecking episodes, now it's just unfunny zoomers posting memes and reaction faces
Werent commie blocks made with aerial bombings in mind?
Good.
I'd be more worried about lead in the water. People went on about Flint, but places like this are worse.
Depends on the blocks, but they're generally very shitty, even shittier than the original ones, in almost every way.
>Just converse like a normal person
eeer, here?
that fucking section captured the immense sense of utter terror really well, was sitting at the edge of my seat the whole time, holy shit

Bold claim.
DAE feel to smart to have fun with regular people?
Unfortunate that the producer had to start replying to things on twitter to give the /pol/tards something to shitpost and cry about.
This always happens, comrade. The days of the first episodes are comfy and meme-tier, then the outside people resentful of the notoreity and call it "overrated" start to swarm in, looking for a fight.
ikr? he's such a sperge
I'm just memein' mate.
So did you guys discuss the old KINO that HBO heavily borrowed from?
Discovery sure hated Dyatlov
>Big guy from the first episode that held the door is still alive and kicking
>and became one again in the 21st.
Yeah by selling grain for cattle to inner market
come to Norway, people don't live like wild animals here.
Here's something that you might find interesting. Dyatlov worked at a submarine facility and was exposed to radiation and then worked at Chernobyl and got exposed to radiation. Both of those places had a woodpecker nearby.
>they're one floor beneath where moustache man was forced to go out on the roof

There was a good thread a while back where we just talked about various incidents like the Goiânia accident.
wtf how did he even survived after all the radiations he took?
post more pics of it. what is it?
Norilsk water has pretty much everything in it. But no worries, comrades, it's all perfectly fine.
>And some point to the metals plant as the likely culprit, ABC News reports. Norilsk Nickel has denied any wrongdoing. In an email to The Verge, the company wrote that the color of the Daldykan river shows "its natural tone."

Not anymore. Yuvchenko died in 2008, at the age of 47.

>After graduation, he worked in a shipbuilding plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, installing reactors into submarines. During a nuclear accident there, Dyatlov received a radiation dose of 200 rem, a dose which typically causes mild radiation sickness, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue and reduction in resistance to infections.
>On April 26, 1986, Dyatlov supervised a test at Reactor 4 of the nuclear plant, which resulted in the worst nuclear plant accident in history. During the accident, Dyatlov was exposed to a radiation dose of 390 rem (3.9 Sv), which causes death in 50% of affected persons after 30 days. However, he survived.
He got lucky.

some say it was used as a mind control device that uses low frequencies, there even was a nbc presenter in 1981 that said so, tried to find something on him but nothing came up .

I have a camera lens which is radioactive. I carelessly fucked around with it for quite a while before I knew that and now it worries me.
it's just shooting bullets and boiling water

It was a widespread myth that alcohol helps to remove radionuclide.

you're done
autists will kill the planet
Why was it radioactive?
tfw I used to steal smoke alarms (UK) with Americium in them and take it out and put it in people's lockers Ididn't like at school
Old vintage lenses contain .01 mrem/hr
While a human yearly radiation dose is 630 mrem/hr
You need to spend thousands of hours with your lens if it were to harm you
Pretty sure programmers in the 70s got dosed with a decent amount of radiation over long periods from working in labs with dozens of high-power, poorly shielded CRTs and computers. They were all bald by 30 and needed coke bottle glasses.
There are plenty of nice places in former Soviet Union.

Are there any household objects that have radiation containment?
Like smoke detectors have some
well that was an emotional rollercoaster
what happens if you microwave americium
fine, i'll give you snippets from the wiki
>wife of scrapyard owner Devair Ferreira, became sick about three days after coming into contact with the substance. Her condition worsened, and she developed hair loss and internal bleeding, especially of the limbs, eyes, and digestive tract. She suffered mental confusion, diarrhea, and acute renal insufficiency before also dying on October 23, 1987, of "septicemia and generalized infection", about a month after exposure.
the daughter:
>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.

no
He was sentenced to 10 years, so no.
I always think of that MDE sketch when I think of Dyatlov. Even with all the proof, it was just "nope, didn't happen. nope, not me".
Im not memeing, this is something we used for hundreds of years.

okay, cool.
he even wrote a book about how it wasn't his fault but everyone else's

Why did he kill himself? Couldn't he have emigrated to the West?

he didn't. KGB strangle him, dressed him up, and then 'hanged' him. dude was exposing state secrets and threatening to work with foreign powers. don't know what he expected

Is that what happened to Scherbina as well? Is that why the cause of death is "unknown"?
Traumatized, horrified with the knowledge that thousands of people are doomed to die from cancer and their children will be malformed, short lived creatures and that the system he serves let the culprits get scott-free and nothing changed.
The radiations behave like light except light can be blocked by something much thinner.
>Nuclear reactor expert emigrates to west
>USSR has different reactor tech that they kept obfuscated for decades
Hey, what could go wrong
>The radiations
They didn't release the cause of death for high ranking party men.
It was policy in the USSR to not disclose the cause of an officials death, but it was rumored to be a heart attack.
the soviet union doesn't look so bad in the series
sure the drafting sucks but americucks did worse
>6666
fuck it must be true
I updated it a while back with what happened to spicy rock guy IRL.
He was sentenced to the ten years. The opening narration also tells you that he was a convenient scapegoat.
except he recorded his suicide note on tape instead of writing it, they couldn't fake that
you're a funny guy
Shcherbina was known to be in poor health a year or two before his death, so it didn't come as a surprise.
i didn't watch all the clips
>The Valley of the Drums is a 23-acre (9.3 hectare) toxic waste site in northern Bullitt County, Kentucky, near Louisville, named after the waste-containing drums strewn across the area. After it had been collecting waste since the 1960s, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) analyzed the property and creek in 1979, finding high levels of heavy metal, polychlorinated biphenyls, and some 140 other chemical substances
His suicide was a message in itself about the seriousness of the event, something that words wouldn't be enough to convey.
>Shcherbina
which is that?
>Of those, 250 were indeed found to be contaminated — some with radioactive residue still on their skin — through the use of Geiger counters.
I doubt 250 people handled this and got dust on them. Instead, these people had exposed themselves to some -other- radioactive source in their environment that was strong enough to be detectable.
More radiation out there, especially in shitty 3rd world countries, than you want to think about.
Checked
new thread, chomos
NEW
>More radiation out there, especially in shitty 3rd world countries, than you want to think about.
I don't doubt it. I think at most it might have been around 50 people though, considering that it didn't take much of that stuff to cause a reading.
Ranch me brotendo.
I know where there is another Valley of Drums in KY, and I would estimate there are probably hundreds across the state. Not as big as the famous one, but still several acres each. Still just sitting there poisoning everything.
He already tried to kill himself before it, was saved by medics
>Are there any household objects that have radiation containment?
Vintage watches often have radium paint so that they would glow in the dark. Be careful with Grandpa's old Rolex after he dies. Unlike smoke detectors or other regular stuff you actually are at risk for getting significant radiation exposure if you either open the back or somehow shatter the glass.
>emigrate to disclose the criminal fuckery that killed hundreds or thousands of people
>get served polonium tea anyway
god damn hues
It's not lead, it material to reflect the neutrons and increase the rate of chain reactions in the core. The actual accident had the guy drop one of those bricks on the core making it go critical and releasing a massive amount of radiation.
I have 6 CRT monitors in the house
