Geiger Counter at Chernobyl

[baconguygermany]

thanks! now youtube is radioactive! ahhh

[dvorak121]

Watch out for the snorks!

[bradleyb916]

how close to the reactor is it safe to go without protection

[blackwolfkodi]

@bradleyb916 the reactor is covered by a steel dome, so its safe to i'd say 10 feet

[robertas1998]

@bradleyb916 No one lives in 10km zone from reactor but i its also very dangerous to live 50-100 km from reactor. A lot of risk getting cancer :((

[bradleyb916]

@robertas1998 uh 50 to 100 km would reach kyiv city did you mean 50 to 100 feet?

[masterchiefboy11]

do you live near the zone?

[SudoSlammer]

(Boop boop boop) Warning:  Hazardous radiation levels detected.

[GabrielFW1]

Try and find me a Jellyfish there.

[Iskanderox]

@RockTouching exactly

[clintonlies]

anyone testing in Japan ?

[Iskanderox]

@RockTouching a range from 0,1 to 0,4

[FeelinGipper]

Watch those Geiger counters, kids. Tick, tick, tickety means run you ass outta there, then pop some Rad-away for good measure.

[ObiTrev]

I bought an antique Geiger Counter from 1955 a 107 model, and all indications are that it works, and was used only once. The only issue is getting batteries of the proper voltage, and replacing the Victoreen Particle Tube.

[0neRing]

@ObiTrev  ok....

[SpadesNeil]

So moss is radioactive in Chernobyl.

What's next? Anomalies and mutants?

[BOUNCER48]

3928 rad/sec

[Anthony6essful]

where do you buy the detector?

[johnmarella]

@Anthony6essful in a shop

[Anthony6essful]

@johnmarella

lol

[Billybob98Vids]

Warning Radiation Levels Detected

User Death Imminent

[zackthegoth]

don't eat the moss, it's harmful.

[jednoucelovy]

@crazysloth9 wow, 1.3 mSv/h is 4000 times the natural background, no wonder the meter was crying hystarically

[xygomorphic44]

So the level is 1.3mSv/h. Just 1 mile away from the nuke plant in Japan, the level is about 112µSv/h. (and that was only like 3 weeks after the disaster) So about the same distance away from the plant, and 25 years later, the level is 11.6 times higher. See what containment structures can do?

[dumbcow1]

Chernobyl tour guide...how many of thoes do they go through a year?

[Roach1983]

@crazysloth9 Depends on where you are and if there is a lot of natural uranium near you, usually it's between .20 to .08uSv/hr. In FL it varies from .11 to .08uSv.

[aegirer]

japan to follow....

[JokerPokerUberSmoker]

A lot of G-counters can not detect Alpha particles and some Beta radiation particles... so the radiation is a lot higher than you think there... I would not suggest going there... The radiation around the power plant is about 250 times higher than at the Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the A-bombs were dropped...

[villainy07]

Am I right?

radioactivity --> the decomposition of a particle

radiation --> the product of the decomposition (mainly as Alpha, Beta or Gamma radiation)

radioactivity --> like a the process of a boom exploding

(however radioactive things can explode [decompose] many times)

radiation --> like the shock wave & fragments by the boom

(Most of the radiation can't travel far; they are either 2 heavy or easy to be stopped) (by far it's counted in 10 kms)

[banannaninja]

@villainy07 no

[villainy07]

@banannaninja plz correct me

[banannaninja]

@villainy07 :) i said "no" as a joke :)

[vmelkon]

@villainy07 radiation applies to anything that is moving fast such as sunlight, laser light and basically the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Radioactivity means unstability and the nucleus break apart or one of the nucleons changes to another nucleon or the nucleus changes to a low energy state by emitting a gamma ray.

[villainy07]

@vmelkon oh ya, u put it in a much clearer way. but how about Alpha, Beta ray? are they counted as radiation or not?

[vmelkon]

@villainy07 Yes, they are. Alpha rays are fast moving helium nuclei. Beta has 2 version ; beta- which is fast moving electrons and beta+ which is fast moving positrons.

Solar wind can also be counted as radiation which is mostly fast moving protons.

[Videomakera]

The Air is maybe clean in Chernobyl but the floor is still radioactive from the raining...

[MrCutiludissi]

1,3 mSv/h or 1,3 uSv/h?

[HostileHST]

Grow some "plants" in Chernobyl, dry them just right and they will self ignite, say good bye to the Bic lighter!

[Pelavitafan]

Yes, the background is high. It's called Chernobyl background. And 2.4mSv (NOT microsieverts) you are right---is extremely high. A chest xray is 0.6 mSV and a mammogram is 0.7mSv. BUT THEY ONLY LAST A SECOND. This stuff in Chernobyl (as seen above ) is chronic "low level" radiation. Acute exposures of LL give the body cells time to recover. Chronic exposure like above never does. I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE PREGNANT IN THAT REGION.

[2kden]

напрасно ты к моху так близко руки сунешь!

[igotN0ceilings]

@crazysloth9 radiation actually differs greatly based on where you are. MIT's website said that radiation in US cities can be 4 times higher than in rural areas, and in industrialized china it can be 10 times higher than in US cities

[ggabe005]

Test mayonnaise and pepto bismol with your geiger counter!!!! you will be shocked!

[Lordofdragons16]

Tick tick tickity means run yo ass outa' there, Boo-wee Boo-wee Boo-wee Boo-wee means OH SHIT!

[mythhealer]

Critically important to know this is coming from rain fall.

Once the unit is calibrated... you need to know how to get accurate readings...

You can find my videos here... ... /watch?v=j-2kmw1RfoA

OR

You can also search for: Fukushima Fallout and go to the mythhealer video

0:42 " IT'S OVER 1.200!"

[FreonRose]

wonder why the moss isnt affected by the radiation

[BousteadProductions]

"There's too much radiation, we'll have to go around"

[DerGeckarbor]

@BousteadProductions ´´Oi,Suzy!´´*bäm*

[davies700]

@DerGeckarbor .. ha ha good quote from cod 4 there lol

[MrCrazyian123]

You guys should go look for some artifacts.

[reichstag10]

wow... a patch of grass and soil and soil and the radiation is critical.

[jjovereats]

My interest in Cyrillic came from the Terra-P.

[clintonlies]

@siltdotstrider they were in the Soviet union Jack Ass

The Chernobyl disaster was a well-known nuclear accident of catastrophic proportions that occurred on 26 April 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (then in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, part of the Soviet Union). It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale.

[eristderbeste]

i read they plan to reactivate agriculture in area of tchernobyl..so free eu menas get cheap but contamined food? sorry...isnt truth?

[GoldenTagachi]

i wonder why they dont wear some kind of suits for this

[bfahren]

@GoldenTagachi Because there is no need. The radiation levels on the asphalt, while a lot higher than they should, are not dangerous for short periods of time. Also most of the times when you see people wearing protective suits around the NPP are just to protect them from radioactive dust. Thats not a problem on Pripyat unless you want to crawl through it.

[IIHb2oII]

j espere que vous avez pas attrape de cancer bande d imbecile

[R33skylineR33]

smoke it !

[R33skylineR33]

radioactive grass ahahahah



[Austin76711]

It can depending where you put it. Its genraly very very small when you place it in your frige.

[clintonlies]

I wonder if radiation can be found in russian vodka ?

[Bouchon211]

@clintonlies Doubtful... if so half of Russia would be mutants by now.

Ba dum bum CHHH!

[tucfinland]

@clintonlies Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia.

[clintonlies]

@tucfinland does Ukraine make Vodka ? or sell grain used to make

Vodka ? Potatoes ?

[xjmdm]

@clintonlies russian vodka is made of ant blood and uranium

[JokerPokerUberSmoker]

@clintonlies what a shame that Chenobyl is not in Russia then...

[wojtuniakfrog]

@clintonlies Probably not.....considering Chernobyl is in ukraine, not russia.

[Lessinath]

@clintonlies Yes, but that's unfair because you can find radiation in almost everything.

[Austin76711]

I have been to chenobly to my self. My uncle was one of the many thare working to help clean it up.

[GuItArRiCk33]

wow that u even go that near i wouldnt even come close to chernobyl! man i hope you protected ur balls XD

[guitarjoeyPS3]

lick it!

[BarneveldDarts]

wow r u dont caring about ur health???

[smalltime0]

@BarneveldDarts Its fairly safe to go there (dont spend your life sleeping in the reactor) just don't eat any apples or berries from the surrounding forest, and beware of fruit sellers nearby the forest. There are even people working near the reactor, on rotation of course.

[8redcoins]

@BarneveldDarts The radiation there has died down since 1986. As long you don't step in the moss, or stay there for NO MORE THAN 2 DAYS, your fine. If you eat any of the food in Chernobyl... That's when you are in bother. If you are going there, once you get back i would strongly reccomend you go see a doctor to get tested for radiation. As long as you DO Keep your distance from the reactor And KEEP AWAY FROM THE RED FOREST! If you want to know about that.... PM me.

[BarneveldDarts]

@8redcoins ok thanks

[xXsc3n1cXx]

Nice, but you're ass is grass if you stay there for too long.

[HeyMarkedOne8]

RADIATION has posibility to break connections between molecules and that is the reason of sickness!You can't predict will that be cancer or anything because it will kill by that or by other way.

[69lol69]

run

[Driv3th3hiv3]

@Torchie206 It should say get out of here, stalker

[9chewy]

aaaahhhhhh smell that fresh air

[macricky]

I have the same geiger counter on the right, bought at an electronics fair

[GRREKPARODY]

you must have cancer NOW!

[pablokoruza]

oh my fucking god! What we've donne. Everybody think that to be a day in chernobyl is not unhealthy. You must know that this increase 500 times your posibilities of have cancer. To be there a minute is like taking 20 radiograph

[MakcNFS]

@pablokoruza

According to ukrainian standards of radiating safety you can't get even tenth part of year dose if you go with guide in Pripyat

p.s. Sorry for my english =)

[1993paule]

1000 hits of radioactive particles per second.

[KarbineKyle]

I have that one on the left... Set the "Threshold" mode to 0.00uSv/h, if you don't know this, the alarm won't go off constantly. But, it will stay on, unless you turn it off or change the "Threshold" mode back. That's A Lot of fallout! I would say there is a lot of Cesium, Barium, Strontium, Krypton, Polonium, Radium, Radon, and Lead, etc... Radioisotope particles everywhere! All kinds of isotope particles from all the radioactive decay! I would love to go there just to explore! Nice Video! 5/5!

[Cobbe354]

That beeping does not sound so good...

[DaytonaRoadster]

wow, is that cesium or stronium making the reading so high?

[foxwuj]

what should be consider high???

[BigBananaMan]

0.1-0.3 microsieverts is considered background radiation. About 10 times that I would assume you're having a problem.

[mrdojob]

don't really know but the danger depends on what type of radiation it is. The radiation in chernobyl is all alpha which is the weakest type so its only a danger is you breath a load of dust up or drink/eat anything thats been there a long time. It can't penetrate the skin but once inhailed it can't get out and ionizes like hell. Actually if you sumhow stopped breathing you could almost camp for a week in the reactor cos uranium emmits so little radiation. Its the quantity thats the killer.

[foxwuj]

so alpha isn't danger if don't play i dare u eat dirt, good to know ty for the info, so how many more class else r ther???

[mrdojob]

I dunno how many the do a week but you need to get some sort of pass to be able to go there. Getting the pass is actually pretty easy i think and you will be going around with a guide to keep you safe.

I don't really know much about how to visit but i think google will make short work of all your questions. I want to go there to :)

[StarryKid06]

@mrdojob

Why then did it burn a lot of the Soviet army guys to death during the initial handling of the disaster?

[mrdojob]

@StarryKid06 They didn't burn to death. There was just a many many thousand fold increase in the amount of radioactive particles in the weeks after the disaster and they breathed huge amounts of them in and it was mostly alpha radiation that killed them.

None of them died from burns caused by radiation. I don't really know how radiation kills quickly but im guessing its massive DNA damage that kills the cells and not burns.

[StarryKid06]

@mrdojob

The result of high-dose short-term exposure is called Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Here is what happens: White blood cells die off, immune system begins to fail thus increasing risk of infection, uncontrollable internal bleeding including within the kidneys, bone marrow & intestinal tissue destroyed, causing immense diarrhea, dehydration, water-electrolyte imbalance, and failure of circulatory system.

So if you get a high dose, like probably thousands did at Chernobyl, u r f'd up .

[mrdojob]

@StarryKid06 yeah pretty much but not much burning at all

[Driv3th3hiv3]

@StarryKid06

Mainly because over the years the radianuclides have sunk into the soil (about a foot) and on the day of the explosion all of the radiactive crap was blown up into the air.

A very interesting fact, is that the most radiaoctive ourskirts of chernobyl are mainly in the red forrest, and any other tree form. This is caused by the trees absorbing the particles and them being taken into new tree matter.
