Guys I think this whole series is made just to boost tourism money for ukraine. Imagine the amount of normies that now want to visit the “Holy Grail” its not even bait at this point atleast before only COD neckbeards knew of cherynobyl (or S.T.A.L.K.E.R fans)

Feel free to add more content, frens.
I just compiled all you see in that original post but it were you Yea Forums that plastered it here over the course of these 5 weeks. I think I stay more time here, learning, watching and reading the stuff posted on /rbmk/ on a daily basis than actually watching the HBO series.
>get fatal dose of radiation >skin starts dying and falling off >muscles detach from bones >blood is seeping through the walls of my arteries like tissue paper >bloody diarrhoea is constantly flowing out of my asshole >can't even have morphine administered to me to dull the pain >doctors decide to try skin grafts and stem cell therapy to keep me alive so I can experience an agonizingly slow and painful death Wtf? Just kill me if I ever end up in that situation.
were the channel caps really 350 kilo each like zero hour says? because that's a _fuckload_ of weight when you add up all the amount caps and only adds to the immense power of the explosion to force that much weight along with the ubs. but something tells me its probably a lost in translation error when the tv show was compiling their research.
Carson Foster
iirc some teenager built one in his mom's basement and threw the nuclear waste in the trash
They were fucking around with Uranium, mixed too much of it in a steel case and it reached critical mass, bombarding with Gamma radiation, the type that supremely fucks you up.
They kept him alive mainly for research sake, the outside story might have been of course that they were trying to help him, but suffering such a severe ARS meant they just wanted to research the extents of damage gamma radiation would cause on a person, taking into consideration victims of ARS are rare, if you ever got exposed to deadly amounts of radiations chances are you'd end up as a lab rat too.

I live in a town in La Mancha, in Spain, it takes a while to get here regardless of where you may live.
If radiation is such an invincible force of the universe then how come it isn't used more often in media to solve their problems? I don't want to frodopost but why don't the good guys just throw radioactive material at the bad guys?

>. Imagine the amount of normies that now want to visit the “Holy Grail” its not even bait at this point at least before only COD neckbeards knew of cherynobyl (or S.T.A.L.K.E.R fans) all the stalker fans already were there a decade ago. there's no point to go there anymore since the nsc is in place and all you'd be doing is going there to look at a big metal dome.

i mean if that's the real number then great, but a million tons of caps on the reactor face seems pretty significant. but maybe that adds to integrity of the reactor somehow, im way too brainlet to grasp it all, it just seems like a lot of weight.

>“The first time we came, the dogs were running around near their houses, guarding them, waiting for people to come back”, recounted Viktor Verzhikovskiy, Chairman of the Khoyniki Society of Volunteer Hunters and Fishermen. “They were happy to see us, they ran toward our voices. We shot them in the houses, and the barns, in the yards. We’d drag them out onto the street and load them onto the dump truck. It wasn’t very nice. They couldn’t understand: why are we killing them? They were easy to kill, they were household pets. They didn’t fear guns or people.” Couldn't they hose them down with boron water or something
>tfw Nuclear Boy scout died at 39 and although he served in the Navy, he never got to be a Nuclear Sub operator feels sad man
Daniel Hill
The core didn’t explode at TMI though
Parker Walker
Also keep in mind that most Western reactors are designed to be a lot safer than RBMKs. Russia has modified existing RBMKs to fix some of the flaws that caused Chernobyl
Exactly, because non-Soviet reactors have negative void coefficients, this means that they cannot overpressure. They can meltdown, but they literally cannot explode, unlike the RBMK's positive void coefficient, which is literally so dangerous its not allowed in western reactors.
Andrew Scott

Xavier Allen
>Why did they keep him alive For science. He was begging to die, but doctors refused, since they wanted to see how long can a man being kept alive before all his cells burst. How ironic. Americans did similar things to the Japs after WWII: people burned at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were studied to see the effects of radiation and the nuke on a human body. Never trust doctors, Yea Forums. They are fucked up psychopaths that consider humans as premium guinea pigs. The whole "saving lives" is fucking bullshit.
The only American mistake was not dropping more bombs on Japan and not creating more nuclear power plants because of nukophobic treehuggers t. live 30 miles from San Onofre
So he had women problem. Not good, but not terrible.

Answer to the user from previous thread: >where does uranium occur naturaly? Literally everywhere, the ground itself contains traces of Uranium. Before the radioactivity was discovered Uranium was considered one of those useless elements in the ground that can't be used for anything. Before the 20s, Uranium was dirt cheap, and was used for glass tableware, since it gave glass a really nice green color. This glass has some epic glove in UV light >is it radioactive on it's own Yes, but it's not that dangerous. Bananas are also radioactive, since they contain an unstable version of Potassium. You are also subjected to radiation from nature, but it's only minimal. Sunlight itself also radiates, since the Sun is pretty much a giant nuclear reactor. When you shoot neutrons at the atom, you start a chain reaction and you release far more energy and radiation than normal.
This thread is going so fast no one will notice i'm actually 14 years old.

A control rod blasted into the air and spiked a dude into the ceiling. The entry point was in his groin, so owie. Years later, when they exchanged the fuel rods they discovered that a bunch of them had melted. I think the safety of the situation was somewhat downplayed... but the damage was already done and the incident made americans very fucking nervous about nucular energy.

Ah yes, never been there, Cuenca instead is just comfy, cold winters and pleasant summers. A former frontier of Al Andalus though, the whole old town area was basically built by placing churches on top of mosques, mosques on top of churches and so on until the muslims finally left.

Casualties during anti-nuclear protests include:
On 9 December 1982, Norman Mayer, an American anti–nuclear weapons activist, was shot and killed by the United States Park Police after threatening to blow up the Washington Monument, Washington, D.C., unless a national dialogue on the threat of nuclear weapons was seriously undertaken. On 10 July 1985, the flagship of Greenpeace, Rainbow Warrior, was sunk by French agents in New Zealand waters, and a Greenpeace photographer was killed. The ship was involved in protests against nuclear weapons testing at Mururoa Atoll. The French Government initially denied any involvement with the sinking but eventually admitted its guilt in October 1985. Two French agents pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter, and the French Government paid $7 million in damages.[203] In 1990, two pylons holding high-voltage power lines connecting the French and Italian grid were blown up by Italian eco-terrorists, and the attack is believed to have been directly in opposition against the Superphénix.[204] In 2004, activist Sébastien Briat, who had tied himself to train tracks in front of a shipment of reprocessed nuclear waste, was run over by the wheels of the train. The event happened in Avricourt, France, and the fuel (totaling 12 containers) was from a German plant, on its way to be reprocessed >the last one
You've never heard of Al-Andalus? The mudslimes covered half of the peninsula for seven hundreds years until the end of the 15th century, they're still around in their countries but they could have potentially infestated Europe more than 500 years ago.
That was an experimental reactor on some army base, not TMI, and not on anything like a commercial scale site close to a population center.
Landon Clark
>Only COD neckbeards knew of cherynobyl God, what kind of stupid education you had? I learnt about the Chernobyl accident in elementary school while studying the types of energies.

Chase Rodriguez
Just one question, we doing same as last week, streaming the episode one hour after it airs or is there a planned stream as it goes?
Cameron Howard
it gets better >Afterward, it was reported that Briat had violated a number of key safety rules that protesters normally followed. It was reported among others that "Briat had chained himself shortly after a curve in the track, behind a hill, near a forest, which made it impossible for the conductor to see him in time to stop. In addition, Briat did not wait for the train to stop before chaining himself to the track. Finally, Briat did not have other protesters stationed further down the tracks to alert the conductor with smoke signals. More experienced protesters normally take safety precautions to avoid these mistakes. oof

>On August 1, 2007, Hahn was charged with larceny in Clinton Township, Michigan for allegedly removing a number of smoke detectors from the halls of his apartment building.[10][11] His intention was to obtain americium from them. In his mug shot, his face is covered with sores which investigators believe could possibly be from exposure to radioactive materials, from Psoriasis, or from possible drug use.[12] During a Circuit Court hearing, Hahn pleaded guilty to attempted larceny of a building. The court’s online docket said prosecutors recommended that he be sentenced to time served and enter an inpatient treatment facility. Under terms of the plea, the original charge of larceny of a building would be dismissed at sentencing, scheduled for October 4.[13] He was sentenced to 90 days in jail for attempted larceny. Court records stated that his sentence would be delayed by six months while Hahn underwent medical treatment in the psychiatric unit of Macomb County Jail.[14]

I would highly recommend the Wikipedia page on SL-1 it’s a fun read. Some highlights: >reactor explodes, control rod pins operator to ceiling >emergency crew walks in and finds all three of them soaked in radioactive water, two of them still living and in extreme pain on the floor >there is speculation that it was purposeful sabotage due to one of the operators fucking the other’s wife
They did their job by the book and it blew up. Its equal when you press a hard break and your car doesnt slow down at all.
Jordan Morales
Was it the core the firefighters were pouring water on? If so why were they allowed so close to it? Was it the only possible way to stop the fire?
Oliver Murphy
They mean the reactor. They meant "We did everything right to shut it down!", IE, they pressed the SCRAM button and they don't understand why it exploded anyways.

>the fireman dies
n-no
Gabriel Davis
Because you can't sense it. Fire, poison, acids. With most of them, the body will warn you that something is wrong. Not with radiation. If you can feel it, you're already dead.
Jordan Barnes
You can't see it, hear it, or smell it, and you can only taste it after you've been given a dangerous dose.
>Was it the core the firefighters were pouring water on? guess they were just doing standard firefighter protocol and focusing on all the primary sources of fire. >If so why were they allowed so close to it? because them niggas dumb >Was it the only possible way to stop the fire? B I O R O B O T S
How did the dude in the door survive for 22 years if the people who went to the basement to turn the pipes died? Also in the show does the door guy not die?
Levi Lee
Experimental reactors are built with a metal grate platform around the top, the blood drip (if they were even looking for one) would have been about 30ft below the entry.

Graphite is from the top of the reactor shielding which blew up.
Ayden Wright
That's crazy how both Yuvchenko and Stolyarchuk pretty much survived after that scene in the first episode which made them seem doomed.
Jaxon Rodriguez
it means the reactor exploded
Aiden Wright
there's only one place in the entire complex where you would see graphite. And it's in the core. If you see graphite on the roof or outside of the building, that means that the core has fucking exploded.
Dyatlov is a Grandmaster of denial. His denial jutsu is so strong that for a while there Chernobyl existed in a state of quantum flux; being both exploded and not at the same time.
Crazy how different it looks on google earth compared to when it was new.
Samuel Fisher
I feel bad for Bryukhanov. He was asleep for God's sake. Now Fomin, that little rat should have been sent naked to the roof to pick up graphite and toss it over the railing by hand

Parker Taylor
Fomin unironically did nothing wrong. If Dyatlov followed the test that Fomin outlined, then the incident would likely not have happened.
Samuel Moore
his denial is so powerful that, for a short moment, it convinced the universe that the core was fine and that there was no radiation
that short moment was all that was needed to avoid the burst of gamma radiation
>If Dyatlov followed the test that Fomin outlined, then the incident would likely not have happened. Yeah, but Dyatlov wasn't told WHY the guidelines had to be followed. There could have been any number of reasons not to power-down below 700MW before starting the test, including anything from accelerated wear, all the way up to meltdown.
Dyatlov was competent enough to be told the faults in the reactor design, but he wasn't, and hence assumed they didn't exist.
Connor Cook
RBMK threads do not autosage user
Aaron Young
According to the book I'm reading, Midnight in Chernobyl, he was a little more than that. He was effectively running the station as well as Pripyat in a mayor-type role. Hard worker who stayed working late consistently. Started out very ambitious and idealistic, but became complacent over the years.
Levi Rivera
He disobeyed orders.
David Roberts
I'm not doing it. Tried earlier and got double troubled
Dyatlov was a nuclear engineer for decades and he was irradiated once before. He knew how dangerous it was and ignored it for big dick points.
Owen Johnson
As plant director, he was always under enormous pressure from party bosses in Moscow and Kiev to meet tight building deadlines and production quotas. Got an excerpt from Serhii Plokhy's recent book:
>Briukhanov vividly remembered the launch of every successive unit. He was often critical of the construction crews. >At a meeting of the party committee for the city of Prypiat, he chastised them, saying, “Incompetence in production, that is, in the plant workshops, makes itself felt on construction sites in poor-quality parts and poor work. >Take something as simple as calculating corners. Crooked openings for doors and windows, crookedly nailed finishing elements, wrong angles in the installation of plumbing.” >Briukhanov was in a difficult position. He was the one who had to sign papers attesting to the satisfactory completion of the work. >The bosses, for their part, wanted to report the fulfillment of plans, and the construction workers wanted their bonuses, but Briukhanov was responsible for the operational soundness and safety of the units. >The problem was that the government was at once contractor and client. The plant and the construction directorate both reported to the same bosses at party headquarters in Kyiv and Moscow. >If Briukhanov complained too much about problems with the work done by the construction directorate, he could easily lose his job.
Jose Wood
Huh,i wonder if this will be addressed at the trial. There was that line on the start that many people were at fault.

>He knew how dangerous it was Yeah, he knew how dangerous radiation was, but he didn't know how dangerous the design of his reactor was.
He was convinced, by people who were withholding information of a similar accident from him, that his reactor was safe.
