I guess I'll post in your thread just this one time, Dyatlov
actually dyatlov, according to his interviews, book and trial testimony was perfectly aware of the destruction since he went outside to take a walk around block 4
i wonder if his personality really was in between being the arrogant shithead portrayed in the series and a total "dindu-nuffing reactor is fine, comrade".

Why didn't they just surround the core with mirrors so the radiation would be reflected back into the core and trapped there?
Carter Fisher
its on youtube
Nicholas Richardson
It doesnt matter if it was meant to be... actually its a steam explosion btw
It is just that neither 4, nor even 2 megatons would be the actual energy released if all the remaining molten fuel would have hit the bubbler tanks below the reactor. That would habe caused something explosion like, but would have most likely just blown the building apart more and damaged reactor 3 severly. And just as a side note: over 90% of fuel had been blown outside during the explosion. There is so few of the initial 200t actually left in the sarcophagus, according to former prof. Checherov of the Kurchatov-Institute, that one cannot expect otherwise.
You do realize that: - Such an event on this scale has never happened before - This happened before the magical time of the internet, smartphones and Google - This took place in the Soviet Union, where information is restricted and the bureaucracy is bloated - You and your kind are using hindsight and post-event information to back up your arguments, while the people back in 1986 didn't have the luxury of time and information to make conclusions
That's why they had the miners dig tunnels underneath for example.
>stutter im assuming you fell in love with the dude?
Liam Martin
You realize, that they also realized? The megaton explosion thing is only transported via some documantaries and i have no idea where it originated from, as back then nobody thought that was goibg to happen.
Its not hindsight. The explosion would have been fatal, as i have said, it would have definetly damaged the other reactor right next to unit 4 and released even more material. That is the supposed event related to the emergency cooling tanks, drained by the three volunteers.
The mining operation had to do with something different and that is the fact the mixture of fuel, silicone, boron etc. aka corium might have molten through the last concrete slab in the entire building and would then have easily reached the ground water, which is directly connected to the pripyet river, which in turn goes into the dnyepr, the largest river of Ukraine. That was also a really dangerous scenario.
And to prove, that iam not talking out of hindsight. They did not even install that fancy nitrogen cooling decice in the cave the miners dug, they just filled it with concrete.
William Rodriguez
because at the time that is what they thought could happen. Not a true nuclear explosion though, pretty much a steam explosion throwing debris etc.
It was Vassili Nesterenko, a nuclear physicist and expert that deduced the possibility of a 3-5 megaton explosion. But on the field, both Legasov and Evgeny Velikhov agreed that the problem would be nuclear fuel reaching the water and going critical, vaporizing the water and producing an explosion that would engulf the remaining reactors and disperse a further shit-ton of radioactive isotopes, making the situation far worse than it was already.
Good question, and "it's cheap" doesn't cover the answer. If rods are made of xenon to stop reactor activity, why enter into the tips of such rods a component that accelerates the reaction? Why is it cheaper?
Once, at the start of May, when his sister was still in the hospital, she told me: "Tolya is very worried about his hair falling out. It's coming out in clumps." I go to him and I tell him: "Why are you worrying about your hair? What do you need it for? Let's get this straight: you don't go to the cinema, you don't go to the theater. You can sit at the office or work at home in a beret." He looks at me: "Are you telling the truth?" "Of course it's the truth, nothing but the truth. Firstly, look at it from this angle: there goes a bald man. He evokes respect. You can tell he's smart. And secondly, I worried for 20 years that you'll leave me, you're so handsome, but now who would need you except for me?" He started laughing so hard, he kept asking: "No, for real? But what about the children?" I tell him: "You're so stupid. They love you anyway, what do they need your hair for?" I tried to distract him from the thought of the incident: "Tolya, as soon as we go back to Pripyat, we'll live well... I bought you such nice shoes..." And he said: "Yes, as soon as we go back to Pripyat..."
Nolan Richardson

>you're so handsome,
they got that part right Also that was beautiful, thank you user
Before the show came out I had been curious where exactly Proskuryakov & Kudryavtsev looked down into the reactor from. This distance shot from the show of them running away -i.imgur.com/fNEO8r0.jpglooks farther away and looks to be upon a thicker ledge then this door -i.imgur.com/mXBia0o.jpgWikipedia says they were trying to reach level 36 but it was destroyed.
But it also couldn't be the ledge (open platform at level +50 according to wikipedia) Valery Perevozchenko saw the blocks jumping in the show -i.imgur.com/yURNmRW.jpgbecause that was on the side wall and both of the upper side walls were destroyed by the explosion as you can see here -i.imgur.com/i71akcx.jpg
Can anyone clarify where exactly it was, any photos of reactor 4's hall before the explosion? Any maps of the plant that show the different levels? Just curious, many thanks!
Jaxson Price
No problem user. The thought of someone I love dying and me having to comfort them like that is the most terrifying thing I can imagine. Like jesus please let me die horribly but spare them.
Dominic Morris
Anyone got the Dyatlov report picture?
Brody Diaz
Not sure if this helps, user but check this blueprint of reactor unit 3 and unit 4.
I don’t think anyone is understanding what he’s really getting at. Ignore the fuckup of him saying ‘nuclear explosion’ instead of ‘thermal explosion’.
Do you fucks know how big a 2-4 megaton explosion is? The largest nuclear weapons in service right now are in the 2 megaton range IIRC. I’ve never heard those numbers given before or since this show. Is there evidence elsewhere?
It's so fucking weird to see terms like "shipping" translated into Russian I'm a pure boy, I only know words that I can use with my mom and babushka
Isaiah Myers
thank you so much user!
Nathaniel Wright
If you are one of those retards who couldn't figure this out, it was the only way to tell to ignorant politicians how bad the situation was. It was about the radioactive pollution, not the fireball of the explosion. A 4 Mton thermonuclear weapon does fuckall nuclear pollution anyway since it's just a 50 kiloton fission bomb in a balloon of hydrogen. The four reactor cores exploding due to steam would be a lot better than a dozen nukes in terms of long term damage. >WAAAH IT'S ALL OKAY COMRADE GORBACHIEV IT CAN'T EXPLODE IT WOULD ONLY CAUSE SHIT RADIATION ALL ACROSS THE CONTINENT OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY DO WE HAVE TO SEND MEN TO THEIR DEATH TO STOP IT?
Jose Young
Бoльшoe cпacибo мoи дpyг, этo fucking hilarious. I can alread read it, but my vocabulary and grammar is still lacking. That actually helps me with learning.
I remember some Russian poster said he walked past some Chernobyl memorial every day and while the series was airing he saw people leaving flowers for the first time
Isaiah Ross
Actually Iam under the impression that Dyatlov wasnt exactly the arrogant prick portrayed in the series. Not to say that he was Mr. Nice Guy. But something in between.
One has to take into account, of the control room personal only Dyatlov was sentenced and it is apparent that even in Gorbachovs time these were clown courts and show trials. That alone will have significantly impacted the whole picture drawn about him. Thus i think the truth will be somewhere in between the common narrative and Dyatlovs book and interview on his own role that night.
Blake Campbell

Andrew Carter
That's really sweet. Tarakanov said that he's grateful that the Americans made everyone remember.
Mason Green
He does have a nice cleft chin. So does Akimov.
:3
Hunter Mitchell
Based Akimov. Someone shop the mustache and chef hat
Hunter Long
Dyatlov was not the absolute asshole portrayed in the series, but the events portrayed in the control room sequence are mostly true except for the violent smashing of the clipboard.
Bruchanov however is not remembered as the tyrant director he is portrayed as in the film. Quite the contrary he was a succesful, prestigious, competent person. He saw the faults in the soviet economy and tried to point out problems. However he did become part of the system, as for instance, the stagnated soviet economy continuously delayed his reactors from finishing. He managed to shelf a mandatory safety test (the one that eventually exploded the core) before starting up reactor number 4.
as it happened I read a book about the Chernobyl accident just before I learned of the series. many of the events portrayed in the series are as they happened. However Bruchanov was not the villain he's made out to be. He was even modest in his defensive speech during the trial, something Dyatlov was not (he accused all others).
Ian Cox
Valera has nice everything. His skin looks so soft.
take a picture , im gonna die anyway at this point so might as well be remembered as the guy that took a picture of an open burning core
Angel Brown
FUGGG THE FEELS
Anthony Sullivan
It's actually true that Dyatlov was pretty arrogant and the operators would often feel uncomfortable in his presence in the control room but his level of denial is somewhat exaggerated on the series. He did not command people to their death and he was trying to understand what had happened. He did not think the reactor had exploded (but neither did the operators) - as evidenced by Bruchanov's testimony at the trial of Chernobyl.
Bruchanov's mistake was forging the report by omitting the reading of 200R/h and stating that the levels were only 3.6R/h because he hadn't seen himself those levels. He tried his best to control the situation, evacuated non-essential personnel on the plant and would prepare a contingency plan for the evacuation of the city of Pripyat had he the authority to do so. It's a shame he got dragged into that pit because he didn't seem like a bad guy and was just doing the best he could in real-life.
Maybe because when fully or partially retracted the tips will still be contained within the reactor and help with the reactivity. They didn't imagine, and/or later ignored, the fact in a very specific situation inserting pretty much all of them at the same time would make a fine exploding pressure cooker.

How are fetuses radiation magnets? Could dead fetuses be used as protection for people working in dangerously radioactive zones or does it have to be in a women's womb?
Maybe it's just a dramatization. My guess is that if it really did happen then it would happen because the fetus absorbed the intravenous radioactive isotopes.
Liam Cook

Gavin Thompson
I rate it a 3.6/10. Not great, not terrible.
Angel James
Somehow yes.
If back then u tried to do that the film would have most likely been super overexposed, but the camera would be fine, as then most of them only used a battery for the exposure meter and everything else was mechanical.
Today a digital camera would be most likely fried in that circumstances.
So... no chance to actually shoot a picture.

Elijah Foster
to everyone with the 2 - 4 MT explosion question -
This was an actual assertion by soviet scientists at the time of the accident. the actual estimates were higher, around 3 - 5 MT. Several soviet scientists testified this at the time and continued to say this even after the fall of the soviet union.
It's widely accepted that the scientists knew it was a bullshit estimate, but the only way to make comrade retard of the local soviet understand the situation is to make things seem as bad as possible so they're actually motivated to do something to keep themselves out of a roadside ditch.
In the true spirit of all things Russian, however, one the lie was told, it had to become truth.

Some people have said that the dog scenes were ridiculous because all the pet dogs left to go after their owners. But Legasov said he saw pets in Chernobyl. So who's telling the truth?
Joseph Butler
Probably but at least those chinks know that animals are animals and not people.
All those people who can't stomach the dead dogs just do my head in. We've become so desensitized to human suffering on TV that we'll watch people melt from radiation exposure without blinking but lose our shit over some dead dogs.

Jayden Walker
I think part of it is to do with how animals and small children can't voice their pain, can't rationalize things and can't understand when we rationalize for them. They just feel. I'm a medfag, I can help a grown man feel better about the fact that he's dying or in pain, but if there's a dead dog on the side of the road there's very little I can do.
Blake Powell
Oh you mean real life ?
Nolan Price
Obviously didn't mean dead dog I'm very tired
Jackson Miller
fair enough
it's not like the firemen had a choice either. At least the dogs died quickly (once Pavel learnt how to shoot straight)
Lincoln Flores
His aim was affected by his egg basket.
Dominic Nguyen
If they flew over the reactor core and took the full beam of blue light, would they have died instantly?
How could someone as good and pure as Legasov have existed in this broken, fucked up world? He feels like a fairy tale that you'd tell kids to stop them from losing hope.
It's that dogs are relatively innocent. At least humans can comprehend the dangers and evil of radiation but from those dogs perspective, their families abandoned them and the first human they see for possibly weeks is there to shoo them in the head.
Could some medfag please explain how that pregnant woman's baby absorbed the radiation, also if that's really a thing then whiy didn't they just get pregnant women to clean up the graphite from the roof?
Elijah Richardson
Because Russians aren't abortionists like you. You fucking godless fuck. Go back to shilling for Bernie.
Liam Butler
It was a stupid turn of phrase.
The baby got enough radioactive iodine to light out st. Louis.
Ryan Hughes
so he was even more based then we possibly imagined, epic!
Chase Lopez
That would be great! I'm not sure if I have any specific ideas, I do remember him saying he walked around the building and saw graphite in the rubble which we never actually saw. Or just working in the day shift. Anything works.
brainlet here Was there going to be an actual 'nuclear sized' explosion that would destroy an entire city? Then the radiation produced from that explosion would render europe lifeless?

Bentley Barnes
Don't know but wish I could be his wife. Sexiest character ever on television.
And I miss how the threads were when his episode aired :__;
The people on the bridge were getting covered in and inhaling dust from the open core minutes after the explosion, the divers went in much later while wearing diving suits and wading through water which is helpful against radiation.
