Wild butterfly the reactor in japan is like an house where as Chernobyl is like a skyscraper there is no comparison Chernobyl was a major nuclear disaster japan was minor
They are building a sarcophagus in Fukushima wright now.....this is incredible - tehy didn't learned nothing form the past . And we are going to pay for that .......:(
The sarcophagus is based on the pre-existing structure , which was heavily damaged. An amazing feat of construction, but was it ever going to provide a effective seal against any more radiation escape with so many gaps?
The reactor cap was christened "Yelena" (or something that sounds like that).
It was feared that massive steel plug would shift as it was resting on broken pipework and structural parts that might give way.
lol, at 1:17 you can clearly see the graphite modoretor controll rods (large rectangular block with an hole in the midle) that was envelloping the fuel rod they where wright in the middle of the reactor, what a mess !
Theres a good video called Battle of Chernobyl I found by googling it.
A real nail biter. But no matter, we will all get a taste of it coming from Fukashima. Maybe we should think about the planet we are leaving for the future. They're gonna hate us for Fukashima-ing things up real good with this radioactive shit.
@Eventual420 Maybe if we as humans would stop doing stupid shit like building such potentially unstable things as reactors near major fault lines.... However considering the catastrophes that hit the plant. I say the men and women working there are all as big a heros as the ones working at Chernobyl that fateful day. Only they were much more successful at keeping the radiation contained.
Fukushima is 2 scale 5 events and a scale 3, while chernobyl was a scale 7, the release from chernobyl was an entire order of magnitude more than all 3 of the reactors at Fukushima combined.
Furthermore, Fukushima's release was almost entirely contaminated coolant water escaping from the coolant loop into the basement, with a small amount of powdered concrete fallout from the hydrogen explosions.
Chernobyl's release was direct fallout from the reactor core itself ON FIRE.
Not to mention the seawater and concrete only contains significant amounts of iodine131 and cesium 137, which have short half lives of meaning that the radiation is more intense/particle but shorter lived.
This means that the radiation will drop off much faster than chernobyl,
The Iodine will be undetectable within a few months, leaving only the cesium.
Also nearly all the water has been contained in the facility or swept out to sea, meaning even less land will be quarantined
@eddohan Depending on WHERE in the reactor the video was taken, it could be any number of things. Melted concrete is the most probable cause, but there were many other substances created by the heat and radioactivity as well.
@eddohan Sorry, I meant powdered concrete! Normal reactor temperatures are in the vicinity of 3 HUNDRED degrees C. The INITIAL temperatures after the explosion are estimated at between 4-6000 degrees C, and even after 14 days temperatures were recorded at 3000 C. At those temperatures the reinforcing in the concrete would have expanded and melted, causing the concrete to crack and shatter.
@NotSoJewish In modern equipment effects would be mitigated hugely. If they spend much time in it they would begin to feel sick and most likely vomit. Other than that at the moment it wouldn't be that bad how ever going near the solid reactor fuel would still give a fatal dose of radiation with out seriously strong modern gear. Modern medicenes can remove the effects of the radiation they would feel near the building its self how ever so the parts they are in would be reasonably safe.
@WillWorkForCider There was little FUEL remaining after Apr 1986, and 99% of the remaining radioactivity is coming from Caesiun 137, the fissile material left after the splitting of the uranium. Unfortunately Cs-137 has a half-life of 30 years, and gives off beta particles and gamma rays during decay to Barium. Gamma rays are MUCH more dangerous than x-rays and can only be stopped by lead, so I can guarantee that if those engineers don't ALREADY have kids, they'll never have ANY.
@NotSoJewish It's difficult to say. You could get unlucky and die on the spot. That can happen anywhere though. Whether its the radiation or not people would speculate.
In reality 30 minutes a week is very unlikely to harm you with the protection they have.
Some scientists even say that radiation can even be beneficial. Your genes can fight back. "this radiation is very high, turn on all anti cancer genes"
A lot of it depends on the person too. Chances are these men are very healthy and 20-30
@STOPTHEEU How interesting, thanks for the info, i like the idea of radiation being beneficial even if it does go against almost everything everyone is led to believe!
@STOPTHEEU Radiotherapy uses ionising radiation targeted AT THE CANCER CELLS (so as to limit damage to healthy cells in the body), has few side effects, and is often used in concert with Chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy does NOT use radiation, it uses drugs, it just so happens that the SIDE EFFECTS mimic radiation sickness. Some of the drugs kill rapidly dividing cells, Cancer, but these ALSO include hair folicles and intestinal lining, which lead to hair loss and vomiting.
That thing supposed to keep radiation inside, yet it has huge holes. It urges for a replacement. Anyway, I played STALKER, and the plant pretty much looks like this in the game. Those guys really ventured under the sarcophagus.
they say another explosion is likely. all the fuel leaked out the bottom of the reactor and fused itself with sand and turned into glass. Now, there are pores in the glass and if water gets in, it could start a self-sustained nuclear reaction...that means Europe is totally fucked if it happens again. Also, there is still lava flowing in there from the heat of the radiation.
@HedgehogStudios1 wasnt that the problem around 4 days after the first explosion? if so they resolved that by sending in miners who dug 12 meters below the ground and installed a 30x2 meter cooling system under the reactor, the burning materials cant get through.
@TheFluktuationAcht the reason why they go in there is to inspect the hull because the radiation is eating away the inside therefore they have to keep repairing an expanding the reactor
Rooms with solidified lava = Fucking lethal. (As such, probes are used)
The majority of the radioactive sources are directly beneath the reactor core, in glass/sand structures. Imagine lava flowing through various pipes+underground, then imagine it was also radioactive. BAM, you now have a mental image of Chernobyl.
I just hope a girder doesn't come crashing down from the sarcophagus, through a few weak walls.
@Probablyacowtbh Its not the radiation that is the risk though. It is the dust.... 30 minutes in there.... Nothing!
But if you breath in the dust, or you swallow it, or it gets under your nails.... 1 day, 1 week, 1 year maybe 10 or even 50 years after your death.... Its still there! That's the Alpha ray. Cannot escape the body!
As long as they don't get contaminated with the dust they're okay.
@STOPTHEEU Your thinking of Gamma particles not "rays" lol, Alpha and Beta and Alpha/Beta particles are somewhat easily cleaned off. Alpha, Beta and Gamma all attack thyroid glands. Gamma is the most "potent" and likely/rarely disipate.
@antonell82 As said before, it's necessary to go in there to do some inspections, because the "hull" is falling to pieces. And yes, they are scientists and structural engineers.
@antonell82 Because it -has- to be monitored? A threat can be dealt with properly -only- if it's fully understood. \:
It may seem grim, but it's the most rational action I can understand. The entire reactor has to be monitored, largely due to the potential risk if a series of unlikely incidents occurs, for one thing. A girder dropping down, through 2 floors, would be enough to destroy ?^m3 of radioactive material.
The more you know, the more you can defend against it. P:
@antonell82 Perhaps a bravery award and a lot of respect is due. This scientist risks his life so we don't have to someone has to contain the dust or it can fly into our atmosphere and travel anywhere on a path of mass destruction killing, maiming and deforming all in its path.
@antonell82 "those man"? Try men to start with, and those "darwinians" are making sure you aren't eating radiation pie for breakfast for the rest of your life. That core needs to be kept under constant surveillance because it is not fully contained. And until they find a way to do it, and doing what they are doing to keep those contents under control, you owe them a load of gratitude, not insults. Educate yourself before you make yourself look like a babbling buffoon.
@antonell82 The core is still hot and volatile, they need to monitor it and try to keep it safe so there is not a second Chernobyl incident. The same material is there, just sitting there instead of being contained/controlled. They have considered entombing it in concrete but they would not be able to monitor it incase of a potential second incident.
Those people on who you'd gladly bestow your darwin award upon are risking their damn lives to keep the rest of the world as safe as possible from the nuclear materials within you asshat.
It's a good that you try to be funny and farm some "likes" but I find it very offensive that you do so over the backs of people who are doing what most people, including you and me, could most probably not do. Risk their own damn lives, for the greater good.
@TheFluktuationAcht It's necessary to go in there to see how much damage it's been made by weather conditions and time... that thing is a swiss cheese.
@TheFluktuationAcht another important reason is that the reactor core is not allowed to sink any more into the ground. Thats why loads of people had to dump cement there when it happend who all died from radiation. If it sinks any further, the radiation will spread through the ground water
Why woud anyone go in there... If you read about the accident, the safety systems were turned off to try to get more power. The lesson is don't turn off safety systems.
@RubyRhod Oh, really? 25.000? And are you condemning 2 more? C'mon... Do you think I'm going to hell just because of my sense of humour? I didn't start joking... and there are TONS of bad jokes about jews, black people, christians, muslins, brazilians (like me), and much more... cast the first stone if you never joked anyone... stop whining please.
Joking about jews, germans, fat people, blacks, etc can be funny because they still live. Even joking about really dumb people who died can be funny (see Darvin Award), but joking about Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl or the victims of the bombings in WW2 is really really not funny.
Omfg! At 1:21 this crazy dude is filming the fuel rod of the USSR RBMK nuclear reactor core itself in such a closeup. Insane. With 18 uranium fuel tablets just like the one and only design. Wow
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To the video poster... your summary/commentary is priceless. Leave it to idiots like you to propose the obvious to the rest of us. Thanks for letting us know about the dangers of radiation... if it weren't for you I'd figure out a way to turn on my microwave without closing the door and stand in front of it all day long!
Yes, a giant mutant radioactive pig ate them shortly after this video was shot... Fortunately we managed to recover the camera, but I decided not to show the horrible scenes of these poor guys being chewed by the pig...
@nukebass HEY BITCH ASS!!! Frankly you should be ashamed so many people died in this just to protect everyone else, if they didnt build this cover- whether its poorly built or not - all of Europe can be wiped out and some of the radio active clouds could be blown accross the way to the United States and Canada hitting everyone and everything in its path...now are you laughing?
@cheekyyonee005 your overreacting, the sarcophagus IS poorly built. Im amazed the radiation hasent spread even farther by now because of its bad structure. but otherwise, if there were no sarcpphagus, then your almost correct, the radiation would spread to as far as belarus, the rest of Ukraine, and possibly russia and some other nearby european countries, no farther. think, this happened almost 30 years ago! the radiation levels have died down, sure they are there, but they wont spread that far
@killerblazer459 oh real mature they may have closed for a little while in the 80s but they reopened it they just put the sarcophagus over the reactor that blew up because they needed the energy dumbass
@MaraJade13243 i was there in 1996 dipshit. the sarcophagus didnt last more than a few years theres tuns of holes and openings in it already. and the whole entire complex and the city surrounding it was and is too heavily irradiated to do any kind of work near around or in it. anyone without serious protection would and will die. The CNPP was closed off the minute that people could re-enter the complex. it never worked again. dont try to argue with me, i live only a country away from it.
@TSMK900 yes i have played STALKER and i never reached the reactor, but i was near the NPP and no, no anomalies but i did hear some wierd shit. BTW good game, still love playing it ^_^ and yes i ABSOLUTELY WILL go back there again. its just too cool
@killerblazer459 you keep thinkin' that buddy that's why all the information i can possibly find anywhere about that plant says it's final shutdown was in 2000. but you're right i'm done arguing because i don't sit on the internet with jackasses and argue about powerplants in russia
@MaraJade13243 well your information is WRONG. the internet lied to you. the powerplant couldnt have stayed open, it was shut down the second that generator errupted, think about it, how many people could be able to work under such high radiation levels? and by the way dipshit, Chernobyl is in UKRAINE. and theres a BIG FUCKING DIFERENCE. on a second note, im planning to head back to Kiev to join a tour to there again soon, dont argue bout shit u dont fucking know.
@MaraJade13243 then why dont you shut the fuck up about it instead of arguing? cause at first you were pretty damn hyped up about it and it seemed like it was all you cared about. make up your mind, and next time get your freaking facts straight before wasting peoples time... and btw stop calling me "buddy", im not ur "buddy" Fuckface.
@MaraJade13243 You're both correct and incredibly incorrect. Firstly, it's in the Ukraine, which was formerly part of the Soviet Union. Secondly, you're correct that the Chernobyl NPP final shutdown was in 2000, but this refers to the end of the long decommission process of reactors one through three, which began in 1996; not four, which has been out of commission since 1986 for obvious reasons.
@MaraJade13243 ur obviously a retarded chicken shit...were ur parents related or somethin? because they needed the energy???? why would they NEED the energy??? im studying nuclear physics fuckface they would have a hard time trying to get energy from that place after april 1986...do u even know how a nuclear reactor works?? and are u aware of the fact that when stuff blows up it ceases to work? including nuclear reactors! go ask ur parents why they had the same surname before they were married.
@svedishbiker this was never even an argument or a debate its two 12 year old children throwing hissy fits, (biker and blaze)swearing and crying because they aren't intelligent enough to have a mature debate and it's sad that the vast majority of people on this planet are like that. they're always so angry all the time and flip out over someone saying they don't like their shoes.
Naw, they can't. Security is tight on it, and frankly..Even if someoen DID get in, the radiation levels are very high, and the material itself is unhandleable as of the temperature.
guess what control rods are used for? controlling nuclear reactions. guess what doesnt control reactions? uranium. that rod contains pure graphite, which absorbs neutrons to slow down nuclear fission.. not that it worked LMAO
exactly do you know what in a control rod smart guy uranium 235 and judge by its place it should still be in there . . . would you wanna be that close to uranium?
It is unfortunate, but these individuals will more than likely die within the next 20 years (depending on when this was made). According to the CHNPP website, radiation levels within the Sarcophagus are over 3000R/hr. 100R/hr is considered lethal.
Could either be really bad or just bad for the filmer. (Fuelrod would have meant he would die of radiation poisoning within a few weeks, controlrod would have kept him alive for a year...)
Not that the rod is his biggest problem, he was doomed when he walked into that building.
@kv0nza Its 13 uranium cells ITS THE ONLY DESIGN LEFT THAT IS PROBABLY THE LAST DESIGN OF ITS KIND LEFT WHICH WAS MADE BY THE USSR. YOU MY FRIEND ARE LOOKING AT THE GREATEST POWER SOURCE KNOWN TO MAN.
Why do people venture into places which they do not fully understand? Why put this mans life at risk, although, many more lives could be at risk aswell. If Chernobyl Reactor 2 is ruptured, than the whole of Europe could be made uninhabbitble by the radiation clouds. As "callmemtorture' says...Its murder.
They don't "venture" for fun, they go in there to stop ensure the crypt remains secure. The crypt holds enough radioactive material to destroy europe 4 times over, so the cost of few for many is just I believe.
(Sorry I deleted my other comment but I made a typo & YouTube doesn't currently let one edit comments from what I understand.) This is a good & interesting video. When I was reading Wiki about Chernobyl, it said: "The reactor consisted of about 1,600 individual fuel channels & each operational channel required a flow of 28 tonnes of water per hour." Wow, it's incredible the resources it took to run that thing. I'm sorry for the firemen & others who died & for those who were injured.

@antonell82 The core is still hot and volatile, they need to monitor it and try to keep it safe so there is not a second Chernobyl incident. The same material is there, just sitting there instead of being contained/controlled. They have considered entombing it in concrete but they would not be able to monitor it incase of a potential second incident.

Those people on who you'd gladly bestow your darwin award upon are risking their damn lives to keep the rest of the world as safe as possible from the nuclear materials within you asshat.
It's a good that you try to be funny and farm some "likes" but I find it very offensive that you do so over the backs of people who are doing what most people, including you and me, could most probably not do. Risk their own damn lives, for the greater good.

Okay, thanks man. I don't exactly know what a "Swiss cheese" may be but I think I get the point.
The radioactive legacy of the 20th and 21th century will last for countless gernerations after all of us. It's beyond human imagination, I fear.

@TheFluktuationAcht another important reason is that the reactor core is not allowed to sink any more into the ground. Thats why loads of people had to dump cement there when it happend who all died from radiation. If it sinks any further, the radiation will spread through the ground water

@cheekyyonee005 your overreacting, the sarcophagus IS poorly built. Im amazed the radiation hasent spread even farther by now because of its bad structure. but otherwise, if there were no sarcpphagus, then your almost correct, the radiation would spread to as far as belarus, the rest of Ukraine, and possibly russia and some other nearby european countries, no farther. think, this happened almost 30 years ago! the radiation levels have died down, sure they are there, but they wont spread that far

MaraJade13243 1 year ago
@MaraJade13243 i was there in 1996 dipshit. the sarcophagus didnt last more than a few years theres tuns of holes and openings in it already. and the whole entire complex and the city surrounding it was and is too heavily irradiated to do any kind of work near around or in it. anyone without serious protection would and will die. The CNPP was closed off the minute that people could re-enter the complex. it never worked again. dont try to argue with me, i live only a country away from it.

killerblazer459 1 year ago
@killerblazer459 you keep thinkin' that buddy that's why all the information i can possibly find anywhere about that plant says it's final shutdown was in 2000. but you're right i'm done arguing because i don't sit on the internet with jackasses and argue about powerplants in russia
MaraJade13243 1 year ago
@MaraJade13243 well your information is WRONG. the internet lied to you. the powerplant couldnt have stayed open, it was shut down the second that generator errupted, think about it, how many people could be able to work under such high radiation levels? and by the way dipshit, Chernobyl is in UKRAINE. and theres a BIG FUCKING DIFERENCE. on a second note, im planning to head back to Kiev to join a tour to there again soon, dont argue bout shit u dont fucking know.

killerblazer459 1 year ago
@MaraJade13243 You're both correct and incredibly incorrect. Firstly, it's in the Ukraine, which was formerly part of the Soviet Union. Secondly, you're correct that the Chernobyl NPP final shutdown was in 2000, but this refers to the end of the long decommission process of reactors one through three, which began in 1996; not four, which has been out of commission since 1986 for obvious reasons.

Actaully, some areas of the sar. are dangerless, even so, you can take some radiation (for a short time) and live a normal life.

It is unfortunate, but these individuals will more than likely die within the next 20 years (depending on when this was made). According to the CHNPP website, radiation levels within the Sarcophagus are over 3000R/hr. 100R/hr is considered lethal.

Why do people venture into places which they do not fully understand? Why put this mans life at risk, although, many more lives could be at risk aswell.

They don't "venture" for fun, they go in there to stop ensure the crypt remains secure. The crypt holds enough radioactive material to destroy europe 4 times over, so the cost of few for many is just I believe.

(Sorry I deleted my other comment but I made a typo & YouTube doesn't currently let one edit comments from what I understand.) This is a good & interesting video. When I was reading Wiki about Chernobyl, it said: "The reactor consisted of about 1,600 individual fuel channels & each operational channel required a flow of 28 tonnes of water per hour." Wow, it's incredible the resources it took to run that thing. I'm sorry for the firemen & others who died & for those who were injured.
