  • at least that's what politicians in USSR told to their people and they believed them.Btw someone here mentioned that the guys(liquidators)who did the cleanup operations had no protection from radiation.Well at those levels (15 000-20 000 Rontgens per hour in the vicinity of the fuel fragments and graphite blocks that were scattered all around the plant)they would have to be covered in tons of lead in order to effectively shield them from the radiation

  • But ultimately the biggest culprit for the disaster was the political system that allowed such a flawed reactor to be built and which kept people who worked with RBMK reactors in the dark.A year before Chernobyl accident a similar test were carried out at Ignalina NPP(Lithuania)in which a design flaw of the RBMK was noticed for the first time but someone decided to keep the other RBMK operators in the dark because there was no accident in USSR and they NPP's were the safest in the world

  • instead of bringing power down they caused a massive power spike,ten times the normal operational output,the core overheated, and seconds later this overheating resulted in the initial explosion).And the second reason was the operators of the reactor No4 themselves.They bypassed and turned off all the safety features of the reactor and neglected operational parameters in which reactor should have been operated thus spelling doom for the reactor and themselves

  • 4.The accident happened because of the few reasons.First was the flawed design of the RBMK reactor.Dangerously high positive void coefficient makes the RBMK design very unstable at low power levels, and prone to suddenly increasing energy production to a dangerous level.Graphite tipped control rods (when Akimov pressed the AZ-5 button(emergency stop button which fully inserts all of the control rods into the reactor)

  • Comment removed

  • 2.The only thing that gets raised or lowered into the reactor are control rods that absorb excess neutrons thus maintaining chain reaction under control

    3.The water pumps that pump water into the reactor and all the other equipment in the power plant runs on the same power that that same power plant produces.The generators are the safety feature that kicks in if for any reason pumps loose the power supply.That is the sole purpose of generators not some nonsense about cooling of water

  • I can't believe what kind of a nonsense some of you are writing here.To mention few of them."Raising the fuel rods up and out of the cooling sheeth."???"The generators were cooling on water...generator 4 didnt get water to cool down."WTF are you talking about???Are you insane?Is it so hard to check facts before you write this kind of rubbish?

    1.The only time that the fuel assembly is lowered or raised out of the reactor is when the reactor is refueled,other then that it stay's put in the reactor

  • During the "test" the scientist authorized raising the fuel rods up and out of the cooling sheeth they were surrounded by. heavy water extra proton circulated in the cooling around these sheeths to prevent a meltdown.

    However when the fuel rods were lifted out of their usual place the heat they genrated melted the cooling containers so the rods could not be reinserted. the resulting explosion was not confined at all as the "standard" or recommended cap had not been installed to save money.

  • @enorabv So the over heated fuel rods exploded and the cooling tower became a chimney of radiation. Russians from many emergency services went unprotected into the area to control the "fire" and try to stop it. They didn't have ANY protective gear. The helocopter pilots hovered over the chimney dumping concrete over it. Scientists, plant workers, the families the young Russian soldiers, pilots they were all over-whelmingly poisoned with radioactivity.

  • @enorabv In our whole life time we will NOT ever be exposed to the radiation they were exposed to in One Hour!

  • Magnificent Masterpiece! Великолепный шедевр! Very stunning.

    Could you possibly tell me where I could download more Georgian music like this? Thanks in advance

    Не подскажете где можно скачать похожую Грузинскую музыку?

    Заранее благодарен.

  • Wouldn't it be like maze in those wrecked up buildings

  • 1 month before my B-Day.

    Well, I was born in '95. But I'm sure you all understand what I'm saying. R.I.P. to all that died. God bless everyone else that's still alive ^_^

  • 120,000th viewer, Very sad...

  • people are fascinated with this cause they see their future in it. one day the whole planet will look like this and there will be no one alive to make video games about it either

  • @faszika I agree! Watch Life After People history channel that shows supports you 100% on what you just said

  • nice and scary

  • Many of the scientists say that the area around Chernobyl will be radioactive for three hundred years. Many of the children who were born in the region have thyroid cancers, mutations, and blood disorders.

  • @MsAshley28 well yes because as males, radiation makes out sperm defective, and womens eggs go bad, so if u try to have sex under conditionsl ike that your child has higher chances of deformitys ,mental retardations, and so on

  • @anicentsk8er lol DURRRR

  • @MsAshley28 for the area in and around Chernobyl to be safe it will be about 20,000 years to be COMPLETELY not radioactive

  • Can somebody, PLEASE, tell me if he knows what this music is? It's awesome!!!

  • Sad song and outcome.

  • if you lived there, and you come back...

  • @hardbrothaz I would be amazed maybe even cry a bit cause..that used to be ur home then you come back look at it and its ripped to shreds

  • I would be amazed maybe even cry a bit cause....that used to be your home once you come back after a disaster you never seen it for over 10 years come back and and its ripped to shreds

  • It's very fearfull and ghostly. I don't live in 1986, but it's very fearfull :S

  • we can go back there in 300 years

  • yeah if were not all dead -.-...

  • Comment removed

  • 4 days after a catastrophe a milions of people in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union went to the 1st May parades... I think they had to.

  • тоска.... тоска по дому ушедших и не вернувшихся.... =(

  • Dziś Rocznica

  • Unbeliveble no...???

    So this can happen with almost all city's in the world if we dont stop with stupid experiments about this shit>NUCLEAR POWER...!!! Many country's have now nuclear bombs and powerfull arms and i think some day if start the 3rd mondial war (hope not) the earth is in a BIG problem...!!!

  • ZipTrack87..... youre wrong about the nuclear power..... there are thousands of Nuclear Powerplants in the world.... and it doesnt mean that if one of them crashes that everyone can or must crash.... its stupid..... not every thing in the world is 100%.... the nuclear powerplants too

  • ye to be completely honest humans are the worst thing thats happened to the earth in my opinion when we try to help we screw things up

  • that is one of the worst accident that ever happened in this world...the people who are suffering this thing...i feel sorry...so sorry...but i know that feeling sorry doesn't help...but anyway...i really hope that things like this never happen again.....

  • We had some fallout in the Netherlands aswell but fortunately the wind direct was positive so only minor fallout took place. I really feel sorry for the people suffered and suffering today. We must build a new sarcophagus otherwise a new catastophy will occur in this decade to come. I fear for the worst thing to happen.

  • Hey Jerry,

    Did you know that in Belgium, the wheather man knew about the accident and fallout, but he may not tell anything from the government....

    And I was playing in the garden on may 2sd...

    Regards from Mats

  • My father told me that here in Finland is radiation too from the wind that transported it here. Its still in some lakes and forests cant imagine to go there now.

  • It is so sad.

  • I happen to love the paintings on the wall, they seem to provide a more expressive way of what could of went through the peoples minds back then. Or prehaps some sort of way to express a whole town in sadness and anger.

  • brrr...me2 dude

  • why?

  • Foe some of you who dont know how did the explosion happen:

    The explosion happen while they were testing the generators.The generators were cooling on water.And so all the generators were maxed but ONLY generator 4 blow up.Know why?Cuz for some reason generator 4 didnt get water to cool down.

  • theres a documentary here caled disaster at chernobyl that explains it in more detail. the russian speaking hasnt been translated into english but that doesnt hinder what can be gleamed from it

  • um ya abuot that....it got its water....but the man that was in charge wanted to lower the rate for the test to 200....it was at 700...the uranium rods that made steam...broke...shattered...an­d the pressure built up inside the reacter until eventually......boom....they were vaporized...well 2 people were...the rest died slowly..from radiation poisening....2 people survived that were in the reactor...the Physist....and another worker...the physist had 9 lifetimes of REM in him...and lived tel 57

  • @hole2score the design wasn't good

  • @1Rockyboxer1 and that too

  • I wonder how birds and fish and insects live there?

  • i think the contamination isn´t that high any more ( ca. 40 times higher than regular ).

  • i think the ppl that go there are brave but also stupid. 40 times is still dangerous is it not?

  • Its dangerous, of course, but i think you won´t be damaged even if you life there for years. By the way in Pripyat and other localities still live people who don't know what really happened often without an adequate supply.

  • very god video. good choreography

  • COOL

  • COOL

  • This video seriously gives me the chills. Its that painting and the music. I'm gonna have nightmares about it now

  • yep but i feel awful....i still think about those people,it is sad.

  • NO ban stupid people who order expiriments to be ran in nuclear power plants with all the saftey devices turned off!

  • You are a shallow, mindless cock bite.

  • WRONG: a few facts:

    Windscale,Sellafield,GB; 7 to 12. October 1957;

    Blaue Flammen schlugen aus dem hinteren Bereich des Reaktors. 750 TBq gelangten in die Atmosphäre. Das Feuer brannte vier Tage und verbrauchte einen Großteil des Graphitmoderators (...)

    Die Milcherzeugung in einem Gebiet von 520 km² wurde verboten.

    ....blue flames burning for 4 days...transporting 750thousand Bq into the atmosphere...milkproduction was prohibited on 520 square-km around the site. ->?no nuclear activity in UK?

  • I lived in Kiev for over a year. A daughter of a medical doctor there said her mother was concerned about the very high cancer rates in Kiev, one of the places where the fallout was heavy from the Chernobyl incident. It would be interesting to see those stats, the real ones, if they exist. What is the biggest PRESENT tragedy are the kids in the orphanages there, hidden away, and barely keeping the children alive and fed. Corruption is a serious hinderance to assisting those children there.

  • strach a hroza

  • How do you know?

  • how long would i last in that city without no gear?

  • up to 1 Roentgen an hour could still give you to some weeks, maybe one week; depending on which part of your body gets hit by radiation; near the "elephant" foot under the ractor you have more than 10.000 Roentgen/hour - you would die within seconds...that´s why only robots recorded vids there... ;-((

  • 20 yrs later near the reactor thingy you last only few seconds? is that true? that's not believable

  • spooky place..

  • A strange kind of interesting...

  • believe me, you wouldn't last a single day

  • horrible...so sad and so impressive...wanna go there...

  • its things like this that make me feel like i cant wait for all the radioctive materials to run out. even though we will be with out electricity.

  • What the hell? I was replying to XkupochanX's comment.

  • I find it very funny that everyone that wants to go there, only wants to go because they saw it in a video game.

  • I didn't even know they even put it in video games. I want to go to see pripyat and try to connect to how happy life was before the incident and what they had to go through when they had to evacuate. I wanna see the once beautiful buildings in pripyat; even though now very abonded and dirty, it is still a very beautiful city. Just thinking about going to see the sarcophagus of reactor 4 in real life makes my heart race, thinking back at what happened :[

  • Very well said! People should not assume that EVERYONE who wants to see Chernobyl and Pripyat wish to go there because of a video game. I'm intrigued by Pripyat because it is an amazing example of nature reclaiming her turf in our absence. (Terribly sad though.)

  • Yes Pripyat appears in CoD4, in STALKER and a battlefield 2 mod named PoE2.

    Seems like a populare place

  • if you play call of duty 4, there is a mission in this city you have to do: sniping a guy... the mission is called: all gilied up...

  • im scared cuase wat if we do get cancer in america

  • lol you think there's no cancer in america or what? the greatest nation ha?

  • could this be causing cancer in America too?

  • I don't think so now, but if that sarcophagus collapses before a new one is built, we could possibly see radioactive materials making its way at least to the east coast.

  • The Chernobyl radiation release has increased cancer worldwide.

  • lol dont you think the nukes you guys dropped in your own deserts wont do their fair share

  • Hmmm....Good point lolz.

  • Dont forget the oceans :)... lol Imagine a HUGE wall of water following you after you just saw a Nuke fall from nowhere! Id shit everywhere!! lol

  • looted for what? stuff to sell on ebay,

  • i just find fascinating the fact that there are still things left in apartments and schools and clinics , etc , wich really gives the scary and creepy effect of a ghost town, i really feel for all the lifes that were lost and changed because of this incident but find it so interesting and scary

  • Yes, but all buildings have been looted. So more have died going back to the city over the years.

    They need to encase this reactor for ever before it kills more people in Europe.

  • if there is one thing call of duty has done for me and no doubt thousands of others its brought pripyat and the surrounding areas to our minds once again. if not for the first time for many. my heart crys tears of sorrow for you all. god bless

  • I never really knew any details about Chernobyl and certainly did not know about Pripyat until playing CoD. It is chilling when I see the images of the city and amusement park in particular.

    There is just so much sadness about the story of Chenobyl. Amazing event. Terrible event.

  • playing stalker is what did it for me. although i'm sure the situation in COD is a more realistic one.

  • To all the smart people posting I agree, this should'nt happen anywhere in the world. Disasters of this magnitude have a world wide effect on all of us, especially children..

  • RIP Pripyat we love you

  • OMG the real life of call of duty 4. stay away from the radiation

  • So sad the destruction. I pray we never see a repeat of it. Seeing the effects it is still having on the children of Belarus is heart breaking.

  • My heart bleeds for these people.

  • You can see the reactor from Pripyat so I really dont know what boogleations is talking about...boogled indeed.

  • uhmm..... boogle... pripyat was a city for the workers of the plant.... so it was pretty close to the reactor.

  • i heared that if they want to populate pripyat again they have to wait about 600 years to do it

  • the price for human/technical error

  • Unlikely. Pripyat is a fair way from the power station, and the reason its a ghost town is due to massively high radiation levels after the accident. Most of the damage was probably caused by looting etc and the long term effects of concentrated radiation.

  • those are not tanks they are BRDM's

  • the most terrible is that the firemen right after the explosion had to care the graphit with their hands and shovels away...

  • tak, to rzeczywiście jeden z FAJNIEJSZYCH filmow traktujących o czarnobylu. i w istocie - tragedia zwykle nie bywa FAJNA, ale filmy bywają i tragiczne i FAJNE. FAJNE nie zawsze znaczy WESOŁE. ten jest FAJNY dlatego, ze jest FAJNIE zrealizowany, wiec nie ma powodu, zeby się rzucać.

  • smutne ale prawdziwe, jeden z fajnieiszych filmików o czarnobylu

  • O takich smutnych sprawach nie mowi sie ze sa "fajne"...lepiej zamilcz niz masz bzdury pod tak smutna pozycja umieszczac...

  • fajne nie znaczy wesołe, a napewno nie w tej sprawie

  • So sad. I really feel for the folks who had to deal with that stuff.

  • You can be in that place for small periods,Still i wouldnt have liked to shovel up all that s**t.

  • DuskbatRabbit, why would you wish that on any fellow human beings?

  • So, however the video itself is scarry. But all otehr ways I have read back many comments and I have to say how if someone wants this to any country (I think to Iran...) that is a bit terrible. Otherway I just came home from the States and well Americans really don't know other countries culture... So dear so clever Americans just as someone said shut up before say any idiot thing,look for it. However sorry for all anti communist but i think it has nothing to do with communism, it's a disaster.

  • nice generalization there . Americans tend to be a little unknowing of other cultures because we are such a large country geographically, many different cultures make up the US. Also I'm not taking up for idiotic Americans, they disgust me. Lumping all of us in there is insulting though. Mocking Americans is infantile.

  • jinroh9001 well if you want the tank you wil have to wait about 25k years wich is the half-life of plotonium "sry for bad spelling" i hope that the world gets of thier asses and pay for the new sarcphoagus "again sry for bad spelling " cuz if the the fule thats left leaks out it wouldn´t be good

  • oooo.... are the tanks still there? I want one!

  • I don't think you would want one of those tanks.....1. They don't work and 2. They are emitting around 100 roentgen, thats enough to kill you in 5 hours.

  • But why they didn't find any bodies?

  • Because all of the citizens had been evacuated after the disaster. The wounds and the deaths had been caused by the radioactive particles.

  • Well, it didn't happen in Russia, it happened in the Ukraine. So lucky you, I guess.

  • i like Russians :) this shoulda happened in iran

  • Amaising

  • Я предположу someday, когда земля разрушена mankind, мы все буду смотреть vidios на станции космоса где-то споря о будет недостатком оно was!(

  • I suppose someday, when the Earth is destroyed by mankind, we will all be looking at vidios on a space station somewhere arguing about who's fault it was!(

  • DrMasopic i couldnt have said it any better you said what i was thinking

  • yeah right, do you know anyone who works there? Most of people are higly qualified and spent long years at university....

  • dude that's maad creepy.

    That's the city where bigfoot lives.

  • sad thing

  • sadly...

  • Scary.

  • its in ukraine, guys. near belarusian border. chernobyl powerplant is near the city of Pripyat. I am not surprised americans dont know this... we know europe, they know theirs.. nothing unusual... anyway, good video.

  • wo sind die ganzen menschen eigendlich ???

  • Stupid cunts, Chernobyl is in the Ukraine. And stop with all of this national pride, human beings in general are fucking this planet over, it's all of us and our technology.

  • its in Belarus idiot.Dont they teach you geogaphy in the US oh right they can barly teach you to read.Ha ha

  • dood, just google the shit before you make yourself look like an ass. The reactor is Prypiat, which is in Ukraine. Again, do a little research, maybe next time you won't look like such an ignorant asshole.

  • SNAP!

  • wikipedia is also good

  • barly teach us? Cute.

  • depresive

  • "can happen again anytime and should not do so" -- bullshit, in most countries, there are no communist 5 year targets anymore, there are no poeple making lame stuff just to get it done before deadline, no tryings to finish stupid test to get higher in the political struct and everything is tested like 583274912 times :)

  • Yes, but don't we contract out stuff to the lowest bidder these days? Getting people who can do things on the cheap doesn't really make me feel safe. Also, corruption can be really hard to eliminate when huge ssums of money are involved

  • americans know nothing about history of other states insteed USA

  • Ok. I'm sure they would be able to.. It's not the people's fault though.. Blame the weird government they had back then. That's what I meant.

  • I don't really know why arguments start out on videos like these in the first place... All it is, is a bunch of people that don't know anything except from what they learned in high school... As for the Russians I am saddened by the fact they didn't have very good education in that field... They had to shut it down and they knew they could cause a melt down.. So yeah don't call Russians stupid or anything it wasn't really their fault.

  • Yes they did have alot of education, and they even knew that it could lead to accident. US had "enough education", then what happend at Three Mile Island?

  • "Can't we all just get along?" World ambassador and Tranny lover, Rodney King.

  • this happens when you can press the wrong button in the wrong time in the wrong place-disaster

  • Why does shit like this always turn into some anti-american thing. Maybe its just me but when the whole world hates you, there's a problem. Nobody wanted to tell the truth cause if u were found responsible or responsible enough, u were likely to be executed. Now who wants to die? Cheers to the brave firefighters and plant workers.

  • Well . . . the U.S. is planning to use tactical nukes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Only 10 percent of the radioactivity made it into the atmosphere. That was from just one of four reactors at just one plant. Now I wonder what the outcome of full scale destruction of many facilities would be? hmmmmmmm

  • Holocaust

  • And from what super liberal source did you get this idea

  • stupid americans,stupid russians...for your sakes is in the Earth global warming.George Bush and Putin are nannies!!!Profit profit profit profit nothing more than profit.

  • FFS! IM AM NOT FROME USA!!! stupid fucking russian,

    make some nuclear wepons and when u dondt want to have it no more you just blow it up!? thats is so stupid,,, ore fuck your diktator stalin,, your country is a big failer, havent done anything god just shit,

  • 1.americans were the first to make a nuclear bomb.2.soviets had to do the same, otherwise usa would destroy the planet.3.if not stalin, u would have been living in some german colony.4.there was no explosion of a bomb, it was some damage in Chernobyl APP

  • listen you stupid faggot, if you have no respect for your shitty self, that is your problem, but have some kind of courtesy for the people who died here, or will yet from the radiation they inhaled and got on their skin, and just SHUT THE FUCK UP! OK?!

  • you son of bitch you never talk about mother Russia or her people like that. We came up with AK47 - tons better than you pussy M16. AK47 is still prefered weapon of choise for most of developing world. we copied your gay superfortress and made it better. we have bigger thermonuclear bomb than you. Do not fuck with Russia. Maybe kazakstan where borat from, but not Russia.

  • lol hey i agree with you, but this really isnt about war..

  • ich lebe dich du lich nich nich

  • poorway, what should to do you, motherfucker? so shut up uour fuckin mouth, it smells like a shit!

  • Are you insane? you're a fuckin' cunt. Look at your country - 9/11, IRAQ, Afganistan.. drown in your mcdonalds, fat ass.

  • oo its like silent hill, id love to go there...

    but i didnt see a ghosty without a posty?

  • das ist davor passiert nicht danach aufjedenfall

  • Sehr Sehr Gut!

  • Du bist dort drin geboren wurden und du hast keine Schäden durch die Strahlung? Du hast aber Glück gehabt.

  • Sehr sehr gut! Ganz großartiges Bildmaterial..

    Kann mir jemand sagen, was der Mann des Portraits auf dem Dach bei 2:20 aussagen soll? Mir fällt keine Aussage ein!

    Vielleicht die "Fratze der Verseuchung"

    Fällt euch was ein?

  • die angst? das entsetzen?

  • Ganz toll, die Toten-Atmosphäre. In dem Gebiet stehen heute noch unzählige (ca. 2500) kaputte Autos rum, alle verstrahlt. Damit sich keine Plünderer verseuchen, wird das Gebiet streng überwacht. Was für ein Traumjob! Früher gabs dort noch Mäuse, heute nicht mehr das. Nur Pflanzen scheinen sich dort noch ausbreiten zu können. Ob neue Pflanzen wachsen oder die sichtbaren nur alte sind? Die Erde sei "tot".

  • hows it scary?
