So what's the verdict on the finale?

Guys legit question
in Episode 4, who was Shcherbina referring to when he said that he knew 'they' were listening?
KGB?
NATO spies?

Unfortunately this. There's a reproducibility crisis in peer reviewed articles at the moment.

And when I say crisis: some group will try to reproduce a number of experiments from published articles and maybe 50% will succeed. The problem is that we've allowed peer review to replace experiments repeated by many different scientists.

There's less of a problem in 'hard' fields like physics, and a much greater problem in 'soft' fields like psychology.

tl;dr - don't put your faith in people or ideas. Look at evidence.

Scherbina was perfectly cast. He felt like the ultimate stubborn dumb-headed Soviet official.

Those are the cooling pumps to the reactor. Absent the giant fucking hole in the roof, the fact that they were wrecked was very bad news.

There was no core explosion.

Those were the drums that were supposed to have exploded under the hydrogen theory the plant staff were working under at the time.

Explosion occurs at :48 seconds (or later), :45 was the time AZ-5 was pressed.

I'm not saying he wasn't. He still fit the stereotype very well.

Cheers anons

would this plot and pacing work with HBO's The Titanic?

Not far from the truth. It was Chernobyl that taught the entire World the terror of Radiation. If it hadn't happened we would still be thinking that it's not such a big deal and maybe have 10 times more nuclear power plants than we do now.

How much knowledge would the average Soviet citizen even have about the dangers of radiation at the time, though?

Almost all are men, zero surprise.

Overall good series with the potential to be kino, if it wasn't obstructed by that Mary Sue feminist power fantasy the leftie queer director insterted into the series because of his political views. Sadly, it was not as good as the Terror.

>doesn't believe in
*doesn't know about

The Soviet Union took great pains to not tell those who didn't need to know about the potential hazards of splitting the atom. According to the Soviets, nuclear power was intrinsically safe. You had to get training in something at least tangentally relevant to nuclear power before it became common parlance that radiation was dangerous. And Lyudmilla Ignatenko didn't get anything higher than a high school diploma, so she had no real exposure to the hazards of radiation before the plant blew up.

top kek

And here is how /RMBK/ works and how it maintained a stable balance for over 5 weeks. A perfect balance of hot memes balanced out by cooling factors of discussion among others. It's truly the perfect thread design that will see no equal. But I'm afraid the fuel for /RBMK/ doesn't last long. After all the episodes are used up the chain reaction of memes will gradually decrease, but we will all keep the memories and friends we made along the way. I serve the Soviet Union.

Ahh, the invisible dance...It's beautiful.

Khodemchuk is buried somewhere in that mess.

The fact she was even there at all was the problem.

Something I didn't understand: In the second episode, on the plane to Chernobyl, Legasov explains to Scherbina that the graphite is used in the core to regulate (reduce) the Flux, that is the speed of the neutrons, lower the reactivity. In episode 5, at the trial, he says that Boron is used for that purpouse, in the control rods, but being the tips of the control rods made out of graphite, it had the opposite effect, a spike in reactivity, thus power.

Are you sure? She single-handedly prevented a. nuclear explosion by warning Legasov about the water and she single-handedly convinced Legasov to testify against the Soviet Union, thereby setting the chain of events that followed leading to his death and the RBMK reactors retrofitting. She had impeccable morals throughout the show that were never put into question. Her character is a joke and it totally took me out of the show every time she appeared on the screen.

Imagine being such an absolute brainlet you go into a thread about a tv show that explicitly tells you it's not that nuclear power is inherently unsafe, it's people being greedy that caused the disaster and typing up that comment.

The fault was discovered long before but was covered up because muh soviet union. The head of the plant signed a document saying all tests had been ran when in fact they weren't. The chief of operations disregarded protocol because he wanted to brownnose his higher-ups and get a promotion. The people in charge of power distribution for Ukraine sabotaged the test because they had their own quotas to look after. The entire series shoves the fact it was the political system rather than the nuclear reactor that caused the meltdown and yet you managed to completely miss it.

Maybe the corium was meant to hit the groundwater after all.

Was it? I thought they looked similar. Never mind.

and the world would be better off for it since radiation really isn't a big deal.

the graphite stack in the core is what slows down (moderates) neutrons to facilitate more fission reactions. the slower neutrons move the more chances they can crash into uranium. boron control rods stop the reaction all together because they absorb neutrons so they cannot crash into urnaium and fission.

Spying in late USSR was a piece of cake.

The scientific community has always bowed down to cultural norms. In the middle ages it was the church, now it's PC culture.

Was there a need for her to represent any scientists though? They could have quite easily replaced her scenes with those of a few scientists giving advice to Legasov while he was doing shit in Chernobyl. Even then - they could have just not added scientists at all and just made Legasov the spokeperson. And don't give me that "we honor their sacrifice bullshit". You don't honor them by injecting a fictional Mary Sue that had no relation to the accident at all. Actually, what you do is make a mockery of the people that gave their lives. Of the real Legasov who fought for justice without the need of some oh so righteous woman whispering in his ear. Her character was absolute shit and had no place in the setting. I don't understand how anyone can defend this.

You're the fucking brainlet here who can't see the big picture. We had Chernobyl and yet we still ended up with Fukushima. Humans are retarded because they trip over the same stone twice or as many times as necessary. And there will always be human error as long as we exist, the difference being that playing with nuclear power the consequences can cause the apocalypse.

Nuclear energy might be cheap and clean but still is dangerous as hell because it gives a false sense of security to morons like you, who sometimes are in charge of things.

Where the fuck did you get this?
The grid operators are not to blame. They had to make sure power is supplied to the factories that were doing overtime to fulfill the quotas - and another power station went offline, so they told Chernobyl Power Plant that they need to postpone the test. They did their job, which was making sure that the power grid satisfies the demand.

Dumbasses put the emergency generators in the basement

Don't push it. The Terror was good. then got fucked into pushing modern narratives. Vampires ruin what could have been.

Yeah, but the power plant was still "unprepared" for an earthquake of that magnitude. Could be management problem since it's a private company.

Because it's not a fucking documentary, it's a drama. It makes more narrative sense to have multiple one-note characters condensed into one than have the audience have to keep track of all those one-note characters, especially when those characters would only exist to pop up and be exposition-spouters. You're on the fucking film board, how can you not understand basic narrative structure?

>I don't understand how anyone can defend this.
Because most people understand this is historical fiction and aren't being driven into a rage over the fact a composite character is being played by a woman. You know goddamned well if a male character had been created to fill that role, or if Legasov absorbed the roles of every single scientist involved in the Liquidation, nobody would be this upset.

Not the earthquake, but the tsunami. The tsunami caused the back up generators to flood and stop working because they were UNDERGROUND instead of somewhere safer. That small and stupid human error had a devastating consequence by making an entire area uninhabitable for many years.

That is the kind of ridiculous risk you only get with that beautiful nuclear energy some morons in here defend.

>and your OTHER tsunami

It's really the fault of Japs, who thought they could build a power plant on their shithole islands, which are subject to earthquakes and tsunamis

Fuck no. Just give them the Ulana scenes. They do not need to argue for 5 hours. A 5 minute scene is more than enough to get the point across. Mary Sue not needed.
Seems you're the retard that can't understand a basic narrative structure. How many times do I have to tell that adding a few scientists would not ruin such structure at all? Or even not adding them at all, let alone as a representation of a Mary Sue. Remove Ulana from the series and you could have more focus on the Legasov and his internal dilemma. Would make for a way more entertaining show than it was. Would give way more depth to Legasov as well. Instead we have the Sue telling him "do this, do that, don't be a pussy". And he just goes along with it.

Listen roastie, don't project on me. I'm in no way mad at it, I just don't consider it a wise choice. And what had the potential to be kino was ruined. Simple as that. Could have been a way better show without her scenes, that's all I'm saying

it had a meltdown as in it melted down
I'm not sure they have even yet been able to get an image of what exactly is going on with the reactor cores yet, all the robots die before they can get close enough.

Fukishima was hypothetically a lot worse in terms of the challenge but Japan is a lot more capable of handling the problem than the USSR was

that'd be like using off-the-rails in a coloquial sense in a discussion about trains
why would you fucking do that

actually, you can. The reactors automatically shut down the moment they detected the earthquake and the plant was not damaged by the quake at all. It would also have been fine had they moved the emergency generators upstairs, which isn't something we realised in hindsight - TEPCO management had been told that this might be an issue years before the tsunami, but they had decided to ignore it.

>natural events are inevitable therefore it's acceptable to have nuclear accidents
based retards
the fact that the accident happened is unequivocal proof that there should not have been a power plant in that place and constructed in that manner

>That small and stupid human error had a devastating consequence by making an entire area uninhabitable for many years.

Yes, there was a melt-down. But what I mean is what people picture when you say "melt-down" - that being a colossal release of radiation, mushroom clouds and all that shit.

The reactor failed, yes, but the consequences are largely meaningless. Expensive, but meaningless. Considering the magnitude of what happened to the plant and the result its an argument in favor of nuclear, not against it.

Fukishima was scheduled for an update and refurbishment.

Yes, thyroid cancer. But what everyone tends to forget is that thyroid cancer is 100% treatable. You remove the thyroid and take a pill per day to counteract its absence.

So the argument re: death via thyroid cancer is whether they were killed by the cancer caused by radiation or a lack of medical treatment.

Chernobyl also means Wormwood in ukrainean. "The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water - the name of the star is Chernobyl. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter" (Rev. 8:10-11).
Also, up to the Civil war Chernobyl was a center of hasidism in Europe, being 70% jewish town. Chernobyl rabbi dynasty is still one of the most renowned in the world. It is said that the last Chernobyl rabbi who lived there cursed the town after especially large scale pogroms forced the remaining jews to leave.

Don't mind those retarded fucks, they speak out their ass. Those are most likely the emergency water reservoirs that can be used to inject water straight into the core. They're positioning on another frame in the show also confirms that they're at the bottom of the building so this is most likely. I cringed when that user said pumps. He probably never saw any kind of pump irl to believe it even remotely would look like that.

underrated

The bigger problem with Fukushima was its backup did not take into account possible inundation, and Japan's reactors apparently don't have as standardized backup systems that the US has. They were able to ship a backup generator in that would have worked had it been compatible; it was not. US nuclear plants all have the same backup hardware (or at least their output and interfaces are all practically identical), and there are depots with this hardware within 12 hours of every single reactor in the US should there be an accident and the local backups fail.

Mr. Goodsir, go down to the core and administer some lemon juice over the rods.

For me, the takeaway from from the Chernobyl disaster, and, to an extent, Fukushima, is that while "perfectly safe" reactors can be theorized and built, the sheer inherent power involved is too dangerous to not respect. There's a dichotomy there. Simultaneously safe and incredibly dangerous.

the tsunami barriers weren't tall enough, the diesel generators got flooded and 3 reactors got ganked

in truth they didn't bother with the barriers because it was just cheaper to build them that way, they purposely ignored safety concerns and bribed safety officials for the sake of saving money
oh wait, rings a bell? :^)

The Fukushima exclusion zone is significantly better off. They've cleaned out enough areas that they're letting people start to move back into the periphery.

Chernobyl 2 : now in japan
Cant fucking wait

>In October 1991, reactor No. 2 caught fire, and was subsequently shut down.[18] Ukraine's 1991 independence from the Soviet Union generated further discussion on the Chernobyl topic, because the Rada, Ukraine's new parliament, was composed largely of young reformers. Discussions about the future of nuclear energy in Ukraine ultimately moved the government toward a decision to cancel the operation of reactor No. 2.

>In November 1996, following pressure from international governments, reactor No. 1 was shut down.[19] Removal of uncontaminated equipment has begun at reactor No. 1 and this work could be complete by 2020–2022.[20] In December 2000, reactor No. 3 was shut down, and the plant as a whole ceased producing electricity.[19] In April 2015, units 1 through 3 entered the decommissioning phase.[21]

1 was fundamentally more dangerous than 3:

>Reactors No. 3 and 4 were second generation units, whereas No. 1 and 2 were first-generation units, like those in operation at the Kursk power plant. Second-generation RBMK designs were fitted with a more secure containment structure visible in photos of the facility.[4][full citation needed]
