"YOU have to be lucky every single day. I only have to be lucky ONCE..."
Such is the way of things when dealing with nuclear reactors. One problem - humans make mistakes. It only takes one slip, one problem large enough and then... The Beast gets loose from its Cage. Then, there is no stopping it.
It is pure insanity to believe that we can ever contain radioactive poisons with half-lives in the tens of thousands of years. No civilization in history has ever lasted nearly that long....
@robophreeq The most 'dangerous' form of power generation in terms of number of casualties is Hydro. Look up Banqiao Dam, If you check I believe the casualties from that single Hydro accident are greater than all nuclear power accidents combined. Are you sure you should be picking on Nuclear?
I pray to god to whom the heroic firefighters who fought in Chernobyl. honorably gave their lives in sacrifissio by millions of people around the world.
And all the men and women who sacrificed their lives.
God bless the heroes of Chernobyl.
Я молюся, щоб бог, якому героїчних пожежників, які боролися у Чорнобилі. чесно віддали свої життя в sacrifissio мільйони людей по всьому світу.
І всі чоловіки і жінки, які пожертвували своїм життям.
This video is simply amazing. And the music you chose ideally builds this incredible atmosphere. I totally agree these men are true heroes, and I regret that those who survived seem to be completely forgotten by their governments recieving very little for what they've done there and how they bravery helped to prevent even worse disaster. This is one of the best vids I've seen! Congrats!
Why do people feel it necessary to destroy these interesting vids with absolutely brutal music? I mean, doesn't it make the people who died look like extras in a movie? Who the hell actually listens to this shit? Absolutely brutal....
I am an american. we resent the ussr for this accident calling them careless blah blah...... However even here we admire the workers who cleaned up the mess. They are not nuclear heros, russian heros, soviet heros or communist heros. They are heros to all of mankind...to all of the earth. They have everyone everywhere in the worlds respect. I would have to say these guys are make up some of the best of all of mankind. Thank you for giving your life. for us. all of us
The men who rushed to the reactor immediately following the disaster ('liquidators') were true heroes. All of them. Some of the bravest human beings in all history. I realize they were told nothing... but they sacrificed themselves to save many others. Enveloped by pestilence, silent, creeping death.... thousands of roentengens. Heroes.
Now, twenty five years in the future, with the crisis in Japan... The Liquidators will be called again...
@robophreeq not to say they where cowards but the where pretty much told by the soviet union to go there and get the job done. its not like they had a choice to go or not.
@robophreeq I believe their will be a difference. The people who will "liquidate" will very well know that they will die. And they will still do it regardless.
i hope you're joking. the reactor explopded in chernobyl and nothing was in between the reactor and the environment. you just wanted to say something really clever...which was really dumb.
many ppl must have known they were going to die when they were working to retain the reactor but they must have been thinking i must do this to save others
if 1:39 is an accurate representation of the explosion, then 1 of Japan's reactors has in fact melted down. That same sort of plume of smoke was seen shooting out the top of the rest of the smoke. If CNN "correspondents" actually did any research they could get better intel and maybe save some lives. Why are the people who are supposed to know everything, look really stupid to all the "normal" people?
@dannyland1 The difference between Chernobyl and what is happening in japan is that Chernobyl didnt have a containment vessel around the fuel rods while the Japanese reactors have a more than 2 foot thick steel vessel. Not that this has managed to stay intact but it is quite possible.
@sirachman True, but Chernobyl only had a fraction of the radioactivity that Fukushima does. Even if only 5% of the radiation escapes in Fukushima, that could be greater than the 40% of radiation that left Chernobyl.
@amafuji I dunno what you're on about "40%" of the radiation left Chernobyl? You do realise all the nuclear fuel is still inside, under the reactor? Of which gives of 10-20 Thousand Roentgens? Chernobyl isn't a fraction of Fukushima because hardly any of the radioactive elements actually left the plant, what left the plant was Cesium, not The Uranium or Plutonium, which is what is the concern.
@dannyland1 I wouldn't count on it being 'that accurate' it's just a computer animation of what it might have looked like, besides Japan has had a series of Hydrogen Explosions (at least that's the story) whereas this was a Steam Explosion neither of which are directly indicative of a 'meltdown'. Cut these reporters some slack they only know what they can see (from far away) and are told I don't see you volunteering to go stand next to that reactor to report on what's going down...
@ChuckJones1989 There was two explosions, the second explosion followed the first directly. The first was steam. The lid blew off and the core dehydrated immediately causing the fuel assemblies to explode. Graphite moderator blocks and fuel casings where scattered all over the plant, some of them damaging the turbine halls. The remaining fuel and moderator stack burned for 15 days carrying radionuclides 4 miles into the air. The inquiry estimated that half of the 2000 tonne stack burned away.
@RashidDostum fyi i was born in russia raised in russia moved to the us and my great grandma and grandpa were killed in this disater just because my name is derek and i live in the us doesnt mean my past is diffrent
@TheChineseEmpire one accident 20 years ago. You have to cover the whole state of texas with solar panals to make the same amount of power of 1 Nuclear reactor. This was a primitive design by todays standards and this will likely never happen again. Face it, 10 more years and everyone will be running on this power.
@TheChineseEmpire Define 'safe energies'. I don't care who says otherwise there is ALWAYS a risk; coal shoots tons of garbage into the air, solar leaves behind chemicals in the form of toxic semiconductors that are impossible to recycle, hydro has caused the most casualties of any single power source (see Banqiao Dam approx 25,000 casualties). What we need to do is decide which risks can be minimized to get the most benefit, to simply hide behind the banner of 'safe energy' is irresponsible.
@NaturalGroundation There may be no way to prevent radiation absorption to a human 100% but there are things a heck of a lot better than just rubber gloves and aprons... (See Wiki Hazmat Suit "Nuclear agents—possibly through radiation shielding in the lining, but more importantly by preventing direct contact with or inhalation of radioactive particles or gas".
this makes me want to cheer for solar and wind power...we have the technology, now lets use it. I have a friend from the Ukraine, she schooled me on the Chernobyl accident, and the meds she has to take. sad
@YoungDreezee See my above post-- Renewable Energies are great for short term, peak load demand but at this stage they are no where near practical for long term, base load applications. In other words sure, plunk a solar panel on top of your house to help out but the factories, industries, hospitals etc. need a reliable large amount of power right now you're options are fossil fuels or nuclear.
Dear Lord Jesus, please bring all the people of this Nuclear-Tragedy into the eternal-bliss of Heaven where they would no longer have to suffer the lethal-effects of Radiation. AMen!!!
Wow good video. My heart goes out to all those affected by this disaster. Its sad how it takes a disaster like this for mankind to gain respect for nuclear energy. Just curious why does this plant not have the large diameter cooling towers like every other nuclear plant has?
I don't think this is the biggest disaster of mankind...when we dropped Fat Man & Little Boy on Heroshima, Japan & Nagasaki, Japan those were pretty huge fucking disasters too & I'm an American, my grand father fought as a US Marine Corps. Soldier at the battle of okinawa & the battle of IWO Jima...but after the shit that they pulled at Perl Harbor...They fucking had it coming...
those bombs where tiny (both of em) compaired to tzar,
if the america joined the war at the start, Pearl harbour wouldn't have happened.
don't act like america was like a innocent kid that was raped by japan because the japps targeted a milatary dock yard not a civillian filled city. bombs are not disasters as they are intentional. what happend here was radiation being released from a reactor that would now require up to 100cm of top soil to be removed from several square miles.
@anikidwolfy Don't pretend that the Japanese had given 'fair warning' when in fact they had negotiated a peace treaty and technology and material agreement THREE WEEKS before bombing Pearl Harbor. Japan under Tojo was a bunch of dirty double crossing bastards. USA maintained neutrality UNTIL Pearl Harbor was attacked.
@thedeem0N The two bombs did not release 0.01% the amount of radioactive material as Chernobyl. Think about it - bombs are DIFFERENT, they're designed to turn the fissile metal into heat energy, not to scatter it into the air. Plus, the reactor explosion wasn't a true atomic explosion, it was a hydrogen explosion with burning uranium and graphite.
@dieselscience All of that being said, you're all right, but the US, that was a war we did not wanted in on...& then Japan attacked Perl Harbor to Deliberately fuck with the US & it was the US offering the Negotiations to Japan, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. what happened (from what I see) is that we presented a Japan w/ a Treaty & gave a pen to Japan to sign w/ & Japan said "F- YOU, WE NO SIGN" & then attacked Perl Harbor
@thedeem0N Japan came to USA first. USA had metal, oil, coal & other industrial production materiel they didn't get in China. In fact, Roosevelt tried to kill the Commerce Treaty in '39-Congress stopped him. Japan never refused&wanted to keep importing from USA. They had already signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany. Their plan=eliminate US ability to fight in the Pacific(most of fleet was supposedly in Pearl Harbor)& Germany supply them after. US agreed to trade to help the economy.
@dieselscience No, there was two explosions, first the steam explosion which dehydrated the reactor followed almost instantly by the fuel assemblies thermal explosion. There is evidence of a nuclear transient, a very small nuclear explosion if you will. The evidence comes from measuring levels of noble gas isotopes at the site, chiefly an isotope of Xenon. Read on: springerlink DOT etc,etc /content/d71710g0012116x4/fulltext.html
@RashidDostum No, there was NO nuclear explosion in Chernobyl, TMI, Windscale or Fukushima. I read the report when it was released. I was living in Europe at the time it happened, going to college. Multiple reactor products were released. Also, seam does not explode, it can rupture its container under pressure but it was HYDROGEN that exploded in Chernobyl and Fukushima. For an atomic explosion to happen critical mass must be reached - that did not happen.
@RashidDostum Directly from USNRC "Transient-A change in the reactor coolant system temperature, pressure, or both, attributed to a change in the reactor’s power output." Nothing to do with an explosion. Normal operation also causes loss of fuel mass - by design.
"This "steam explosion" exposed the red-hot core; air rushed in, mixing with the hydrogen formed when zirconium fuel cladding reacted with steam. Within two or three seconds a hydrogen explosion showered the
refueling hall and the surroundings with blazing core material, starting about 30 fires".
So, three explosions if you will, the hydrogen explosion being nothing more than propellant to eject yet more graphite and fuel elements.
@RashidDostum The quotes are from Walter C. Pattersons notes taken at the IAEA Vienna conference in August 1986. Over 600 experts attended from 62 countries, 21 regulatory bodies and scientific organizations. That is the evidence they heard. Steam popped the lid, reactor instantly dehydrated, excursion of epic power occured, air rushed in and zirconium rod claddings emitted massive amount of hydrogen which exploded. There was a nuclear explosion, very slow and very small.
@RashidDostum The hydrogen explosion breached the reactor. Steam cannot explode, that's like trying to burn ashes. The water boiled > steam + heat and pressure from no water pumping in the heat exchanger = steam decomposing to oxygen and hydrogen. This is high school level chemistry.
@RashidDostum No, there was NO nuclear explosion in Chernobyl, TMI, Windscale or Fukushima. I read the report when it was released. I was living in Europe at the time it happened, going to college. Multiple reactor products were released. Also, seam does not explode, it can rupture its container under pressure but it was HYDROGEN that exploded in Chernobyl and Fukushima. For an atomic explosion to happen critical mass must be reached - that did not happen. DOT? -- you mean NRC?
@thedeem0N fuck off which was more horrible? killing lot of people quickly and leave few to suffer or disaster that killed quickly only few and left many generations to suffer? fuck off you and US government. RIP Victims of Chernobyl
@Phantasm9621 ...Unfortunately for a lot of people it wasn't a game,back in 1986....can't understand what the fun is about playing that game,and i would'nt even want to understand.
@HR6231 War isn't a game for a lot of people either, but still people enjoy playing games based on real wars, because they provide an interesting background for the game. You do understand it's just fiction and not the real thing, right? STALKER games aren't even directly connected to the chernobyl accident, but another fictional accident.
@HR6231 i served as a soldier in iraq for 2 years and lost my 2 best freinds there, i know the pain and sorrow greatly, but i also still enjoy play a game about a war, ficktional or not, i know this is harsh, but really, get over it mate, pain and sorrow is a thing that exists everywhere and every single day, we cant stop it, as long we have brain dead leaders that is, a game is a game and this is real life, make a wall between those 2, course it cant be seen as the same thing mate,
Free energy is finaly here!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Find the real deal, a free energy device at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the revolution!
could any species of the world as mankind be so ignorant on their actions to cause this to his own world,his own home....Mankind,the most ''smart'' of all animals has conquered all superficialities on earth but he can't take care of the place that by magic him was created.......
Anatoly Diatlov was also some years before this work, he was working on a sub, as a reacktor chief tecknigan, and also there did he screw up, he mannaged to clean hee,s name and went to chenobyl, where he screwed up once a time, he killed over 500.000 and amoung those he killed was hee,s ovn son, basterd
@gunnerthedenmark He was responsible for a large amount of the accident but not fully responsible , the 1000 RMBK was very dangerous to start with it had no containment structure and it was fundmentally unstable.
But he was a thavaris a "great" son of the communist party! And i think it didnt mean you are an idiot if you are a partymember of USSR and have many friends who helps you!@gunnerthedenmark
I only wish people would come together and put a new sarcophagus on the reactor before the old leaky one collapses and all that plutonium dust gets out
@stefaan10111992 well at least it would be fixed and even if we just keep replacing the sarcophegus eventually no one will see it as an important thing and just leave it to rott
Enough of the shitty cod4 quotes. This is real life not a mediocre first person shooter. At least go get your mom to buy you a decent graphics card and play STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and its 2 expansions.
@katana69187 you were never born in ukraine! what the fuck are you even trying to say? Nuclear energy is without a doubt one of the safest forms of energy available. And very clean to. The hell with Chernobyl. That was a god damn accident waiting to happen because of the morons overriding at least 5 safety procedures to conduct an unnecessary test.
@limatedman: When you go to extract the concentrated energy of nature, it is always dangerous. LPNG tanks exploding can kill just as effectively; cracked hydroelectric dams can flood. Fission energy promises great power, and can exact great costs.
Many brave people lived and worked at Chernobyl; they will be remembered.
I said nothing funny about Chernobyl. I just wanted to say that it's better not to use translation robots like "Май все люди которые помогли с причиной, остальные в мире." That phrase sounds really funny.
This is bad, very bad. I feel bad for all the victims involved. I hope they never make a mistake like this again, or anybody. It's painful to watch multiple towns just gone like that. Learn your lesson and don't mess up like this again!
nice choice of using nightwish and this combined footage. Sad the cnpp went the way it did but that's the way of things when it's done to a standard of quantity over quality,
I hope this tragedy will be a lesson to all so that nothing like this will ever repeat itself. Considering the relative high number of nuclear reactors being used, another human failure could conclude in even more people dying...This shows that humans often think far too high of themselves...and get punished for it.
Not all NPPs can go like this one did... it was a combination of desgin flaws ( graphite moderated reactors are unstable at low power states) cut corners, and rushed timetables that cause this to happen...
I am currently reading "Ablaze The Story of the Heroes & Victims of Chernobyl" Piers Paul Read.
Scary how people were treated. Views of victims, families, med staff before during & after explosion is mindboggling.
It also covers everything they did to contain the radiation but mostly they made it worse.
Soviets placed impossible timeframes of the building of reactor 4 & blatanly refused to accept the fact there was serious flaws. Talk about being in denial.
Just to make it more correct ussr3215 ... u said russians but its was just 50.000 thousand russian soldiers who helped and 450.000 Thousand UKRAINIANS
we in the West always say ( those Russians) but ukrainian and russians are more different to eachother than we think ( for example the language is like Norwegian and deutch so its very different. They can only understand eachother in some way) and to the the behavior Russians are much more aggresive and paranoid than the ukrainians :O
@hobatu: please get your facts straight. Some isotopes decay fast, some don't. The longer lasting ones (Cs-137, Sr-90, Pu) will make the zone uninhabitable for hundreds of years. The same reactor problems did NOT exist in the West as this particular type of reactor was considered to dangerous to use.
@fatisgoodforyou that's correct there are 1 maybe 2 left active now since alot countries in europe have been offered massive grants or funding to shut them down or replace them with safer options , Ignalina used the slightly safer but still dangerous 1500 model but they shut the plant down at the end of last year.
Yeah, that would be interesting. In the various documentations on Chernobyl everyone seems to use different units. Röntgens, µSv, Rads, can someone explain which unit is for what or if they're measuring the same post a conversion scale?
I guess it becomes more tragic when you think about the fact that people died fixing the problem. A natural disaster, you can sort of deal with. But knowing that you have to die to fix this problem, and that there's not really a lot you can do about it adds a layer of problems to it.
Added to the fact that radiation is a damn creepy way to go.
And there's just something haunting about that place, about the soviet architecture.
the zone is like heaven.....its not completely false., ive been there and i can tell you, trees were green, Cats,Kittens and dogs were fooling around. The clear blue sky was full on sunny as ....as ''hell''.... the view was beautifull and the peace was.....''orgasmic'' hehe.
Oh dear lord this is horrible... the reactor died of thirst.

Wow good video. My heart goes out to all those affected by this disaster. Its sad how it takes a disaster like this for mankind to gain respect for nuclear energy. Just curious why does this plant not have the large diameter cooling towers like every other nuclear plant has?

I don't think this is the biggest disaster of mankind...when we dropped Fat Man & Little Boy on Heroshima, Japan & Nagasaki, Japan those were pretty huge fucking disasters too & I'm an American, my grand father fought as a US Marine Corps. Soldier at the battle of okinawa & the battle of IWO Jima...but after the shit that they pulled at Perl Harbor...They fucking had it coming...
thedeem0N 1 year ago
those bombs where tiny (both of em) compaired to tzar,
if the america joined the war at the start, Pearl harbour wouldn't have happened.
don't act like america was like a innocent kid that was raped by japan because the japps targeted a milatary dock yard not a civillian filled city. bombs are not disasters as they are intentional. what happend here was radiation being released from a reactor that would now require up to 100cm of top soil to be removed from several square miles.

@anikidwolfy Don't pretend that the Japanese had given 'fair warning' when in fact they had negotiated a peace treaty and technology and material agreement THREE WEEKS before bombing Pearl Harbor. Japan under Tojo was a bunch of dirty double crossing bastards. USA maintained neutrality UNTIL Pearl Harbor was attacked.

@thedeem0N The two bombs did not release 0.01% the amount of radioactive material as Chernobyl. Think about it - bombs are DIFFERENT, they're designed to turn the fissile metal into heat energy, not to scatter it into the air. Plus, the reactor explosion wasn't a true atomic explosion, it was a hydrogen explosion with burning uranium and graphite.
dieselscience 1 year ago 3
@dieselscience All of that being said, you're all right, but the US, that was a war we did not wanted in on...& then Japan attacked Perl Harbor to Deliberately fuck with the US & it was the US offering the Negotiations to Japan, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. what happened (from what I see) is that we presented a Japan w/ a Treaty & gave a pen to Japan to sign w/ & Japan said "F- YOU, WE NO SIGN" & then attacked Perl Harbor

@thedeem0N Japan came to USA first. USA had metal, oil, coal & other industrial production materiel they didn't get in China. In fact, Roosevelt tried to kill the Commerce Treaty in '39-Congress stopped him. Japan never refused&wanted to keep importing from USA. They had already signed the Tripartite Pact with Germany. Their plan=eliminate US ability to fight in the Pacific(most of fleet was supposedly in Pearl Harbor)& Germany supply them after. US agreed to trade to help the economy.

@dieselscience No, there was two explosions, first the steam explosion which dehydrated the reactor followed almost instantly by the fuel assemblies thermal explosion. There is evidence of a nuclear transient, a very small nuclear explosion if you will. The evidence comes from measuring levels of noble gas isotopes at the site, chiefly an isotope of Xenon.

@RashidDostum No, there was NO nuclear explosion in Chernobyl, TMI, Windscale or Fukushima. I read the report when it was released. I was living in Europe at the time it happened, going to college. Multiple reactor products were released. Also, seam does not explode, it can rupture its container under pressure but it was HYDROGEN that exploded in Chernobyl and Fukushima. For an atomic explosion to happen critical mass must be reached - that did not happen.

@dieselscience 40 Giga Joule transient eating up 0.7% of the fuel elements stuck in the collapsed fuel channels of the moderator.
RashidDostum 9 months ago
@RashidDostum Directly from USNRC "Transient-A change in the reactor coolant system temperature, pressure, or both, attributed to a change in the reactor’s power output." Nothing to do with an explosion. Normal operation also causes loss of fuel mass - by design.
dieselscience 9 months ago
@dieselscience From the official report presented by Legasov: "a prompt critical
excursion.". Paraphrased by a science editor of the Times newspaper at the time "it was a slow
nuclear explosion," taking perhaps a second rather than a nanosecond, but a runaway nuclear chain
reaction nevertheless".
RashidDostum 9 months ago
@dieselscience The precise sequence of events in the crucial second or so remained unclear.
Experts postulated that the fierce power surge - perhaps as much as 100 times the nominal design
power - had shattered the fuel into incandescent fragments; the fragments had transferred their heat
almost instantaneously to the water coolant, flashing it to steam with a pressure shock violent
enough to blast a gaping crater through the concrete above the reactor.
RashidDostum 9 months ago
"This "steam explosion" exposed the red-hot core; air rushed in, mixing with the hydrogen formed when zirconium fuel cladding reacted with steam. Within two or three seconds a hydrogen explosion showered the
refueling hall and the surroundings with blazing core material, starting about 30 fires".
So, three explosions if you will, the hydrogen explosion being nothing more than propellant to eject yet more graphite and fuel elements.
RashidDostum 9 months ago
@RashidDostum The quotes are from Walter C. Pattersons notes taken at the IAEA Vienna conference in August 1986. Over 600 experts attended from 62 countries, 21 regulatory bodies and scientific organizations. That is the evidence they heard. Steam popped the lid, reactor instantly dehydrated, excursion of epic power occured, air rushed in and zirconium rod claddings emitted massive amount of hydrogen which exploded. There was a nuclear explosion, very slow and very small.
RashidDostum 9 months ago
@RashidDostum The hydrogen explosion breached the reactor. Steam cannot explode, that's like trying to burn ashes. The water boiled > steam + heat and pressure from no water pumping in the heat exchanger = steam decomposing to oxygen and hydrogen. This is high school level chemistry.

@limatedman: When you go to extract the concentrated energy of nature, it is always dangerous. LPNG tanks exploding can kill just as effectively; cracked hydroelectric dams can flood. Fission energy promises great power, and can exact great costs.

I am currently reading "Ablaze The Story of the Heroes & Victims of Chernobyl" Piers Paul Read.
Scary how people were treated. Views of victims, families, med staff before during & after explosion is mindboggling.
It also covers everything they did to contain the radiation but mostly they made it worse.
Soviets placed impossible timeframes of the building of reactor 4 & blatanly refused to accept the fact there was serious flaws. Talk about being in denial.

True.
I guess it becomes more tragic when you think about the fact that people died fixing the problem. A natural disaster, you can sort of deal with. But knowing that you have to die to fix this problem, and that there's not really a lot you can do about it adds a layer of problems to it.
Added to the fact that radiation is a damn creepy way to go.
And there's just something haunting about that place, about the soviet architecture.
