Actually; I believe it was an earthquake that caused the meltdown not careless workers. Things like a Nuclear power plant is serious business. It was scientifically proven that it was indeed an earthquake, If I'm not mistaken it was a 4.0, earthquake. We just watched this documentry about it in Physics today about Chernboyl's catastophic meltdown.
heres something interesting. You know ct scanners and other scanning machines. they cant be made with metal after hiroshima/ chernobyl etc because it all contains minute traces of radioactivity. So they have to use metal from other sources protected from radiation such as shipwrecks, Mainly the ww1 scapa flow german war fleet. So if you ever get scanned at a hospital its a chunk of german warship scanning you! Interesting eh?
@lotharzipo It COULD happen, but the problem with Japans reactors is they took damage on the very reactor itself, and was set on fire by the disaster. But yea, i think so. Their cooling systems took alot of damage. That's what the news papers wrote in Denmark.
I remember the origional debate when the average person knew nuclear we simply the wrong way to go, but how we forget.. we think we are so clever that catostrophy is avoidable and the huge numbers of similar reactors delivering there power will never have a problem,, but how do you avoid a failing economy that cant mantain the reactor or afford to turn it off, what about war or terrorism, natural desasters like earth quakes etc. or simple human error' we are children playing with fire..
0:15 It worst by default. There have been two in the world. The other one had no casualties. True, this was a tragic accident that caused thousands of lives, but it has only happened once in the many years that nuclear power ha been around.
I've heard this song before, but I don't remember the name of the artist and name of the song. Would be nice if anyone could tell me! :) This accident happened one year before I was born. Pretty tragic how so many human lives were lost. :(
oh my gosh 50,000 people use to live there now its a ghost town.... it makes sense. the farris wheel, the apartments and office....modern warfare is based off this tragic event
like a magnet but so fast strips eveything of any matter. to the atomic level. from paint to wood. to genetic natural dna instructions in humans. I'ts like when you contanimate different waters from a different location. as a ship would if it had to fill it's ballast tanks and then at a different location upon weather condition or at it's port upon the docking and loading cargo,food or people, will again have to load or dispurse sea or ocrean water from the ballasts.
NO NO NO! Dont say it is Human Error, there was a major flaw in the RBMK-1000 reactor that nobody at the plant was told about. The operators thought Soviet Reactors were 100% Safe. This was a fault of the system. They had to get the job done, so bending a few rules was common because they did not know anything would go wrong. Hundreds of Volunteers worked and risked/lost their lives to save the world. Show some respect.
Uh... Yeah, it was "human error." The construction of the plant, the claims, the inability to follow instruction... That sounds like "human error" to me. Show some respect? This would have never happened if the Soviets just learned to humble themselves and follow some damn guidelines!
I wonder how you can get away with the BS of this video. Did you notice that whenever someone makes one of these Chernobyl videos, it's always in the winter, when the trees don't have leaves? I've just finished looking at some recent summertime satalite photos of the area, and the amount of green, growint vegetation is astounding. directly at odds with the image these videos put forth.
@penguinskater123 yeah it's true, I was kinda messing around. I actually think it's cool that people start caring about history, it doesn't matter what inspires them :)
The point of the gas mask is to prevent inhalation of radioactive dust particles. If you inhale them they will stay with you all your life and some types of rays cannot escape the body once it is inside.
what are you talking about? call of duty?? get real peaple! The movie says it happened due to lack of profesionalism and training.. what a fucking bullshit! it is actually shows dissrespect to operators of the station who actually saved the world by doing anything they could after the explosion.
Its a sad story yes.. the whole thing was about shortcuts - yes. But how dare some people blame station crew.... its even more sad.
Trojans quite right.....i always think a vids gonna suck large time when they try to add emotional content via ' moving ' sound tracks. I saw a program on the telly about the disaster, BBC i think, even they tried to push the whole thing up to the scale, citing potential thermonuclear explosions ( wtf ). Rationally i don't like the idea of widespread nuclear destruction, who would, but everyone loves the film clips from tests. So whats the next film, Nevada test site related death toll?
Oh of course! Bagdhad got blown up by a nuke, a russian terrorist organisation fired nukes on america, and the arm of the terrorist leader rotts in Pripjat... see, that happens when you lack of education and play too much video games.
This video is blatant scare-mongering uninformed grade a conspiracy theory. Many of these supposed facts are ambiguous, erroneous, and in some cases blatantly incorrect. You for the most part cite absolutely no data or research and have provided absolutely no credible sources. You attempt to tweak the heart strings so no one could possibly point out the error in your ways. Unfortunately for you, I'm not your average idiot.
First off, you fail to tell the uninformed public that a large part of the reactor's energy was not released. You also fail to mention that the lion's share of radiation that was released (Iodine 131) has a meek half life of 7 years, making any traces of it now minimal. You did not do due diligence in your research or your reporting.
You state that Chernobyl is the reason for nutritional problems in the Eastern Bloc. That is simply not true and unfounded. Cite one credible source to back this.
You say 80% of Belarus has health problems. This is ambiguous and unfounded. Even if it is true, health problems is a wide and encompassing term, including many diseases which cannot be linked in any way to Chernobyl. Belarus is a country raved by poverty, vitamin deficiencies are a product of that, not radiation.
You cite Greenpeace's report, which any credible and logical person would not. First off, Greenpeace is a bunch of hippies, not a respected authority on science.
Secondly, they are a self described ANTI-NUCLEAR organization. As such, any statement made by them should be considered tainted with ulterior motives. Thirdly, absolutely no one else's studies have replicated Greenpeace's claims.
Greenpeace posts drastic numbers for the death toll, as high as a quarter million. On the other hand, a group of scientists from various UNITED NATIONS (read: credible source) have found absolutely no evidence to support these numbers and insist the opposite.
The U.N. has declared the following about deaths due to Chernobyl.
56 people died in rescue attempts or shortly after the reactor explosion. Many of these people were workers in the factory or rescue workers, NOT CIVILIANS.
4,000 people have died of thyroid cancer linked to Chernobyl since the incident. One needs to note with basic medical treatment (i.e. intravenous Iodine) there is an approximate 99% survival rate for thyroid cancer. The Soviet government failed to administer any treatment
and as such 3,600 people died from negligence on behalf of post recovery efforts. That puts 400 people dying from untreatable thyroid cancer and 56 in the recovery effort. Sure, it's tragic, but it's not a quarter of a million.
You have duped the uninformed public with ad hoc theories sequestered from third party organizations with no authority and a common history of bias. You did absolutely no due diligence in naming your sources or preventing opposing theories. You have inescapably failed.
You undermine science, you undermine reason, and you take the public's lack of knowledge for granted. Good job on behalf of activist groups everywhere, I'm sure they love when you taint credible research by throwing your propaganda in with them.
@trojans1993 i find it interesting that the founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore is now a very strong supporter of nuclear energy and agree's that it is one of the safest sources of energy we have.
50,000 ppl lived there. In 1986, Soviet Engineers wanted to see what would happen if they shut off some of the controle systems in the reactor. So they removed some of the carbon rods from the reactor. Within 4.5 the power in the core multiplied 2000 fold, before they could get the rods back in the graphite holders that contain them had melted. The plant exploded, and the citizens weren't told they needed to evacuate until 3 days later but by then it was too late for most of them...
"The power plant operators violated plant procedures and acted carelessly toward safety procedures..." - It is oficial version, posted by USSR goverment. It isn't truth... RBMK-1000 (model of reactor) was unstable. If safety systems cause an accident - it is the mistake of operators or scientist who create them? Only after accident this technical problem was fixed on all RBMK-1000 reactors.
ur point is very true, the plant was built carelessly and had major design flaws. a major accident is almost never caused by any one mistake its usually a string of mistakes that come together in one point in time to cause a disaster.
Yes it is absolutely fine to be there for a day, People actually moved back into the zone and live there to this day; as long as you don't go jump in the radioactive lava directly under the exploded reactor you will be fine.
very good video lots of people in america are getting cancer too especially people who live up north on the eastern seaboard.who sings the song in the video
@dual36 : there's never been any explosions in the city of pripyat. the only explosion was at 1:30am in the nuclear power plant, and the inhabitants of pripyat were informed 36 hours after the disaster...
