  • One things for sure, that "cover" isn't going to last for long. It will either melt away, releasing radioactive gases into all of Europe, or blow up, doing the same, unless we build a new one!

  • Indeed, the "Sarcophagus" is currently in shambles. It was only designed to last about 20 years or so, and we have already reached that point.

    Scientists fear that it will soon collapse under it's own weight, and as a result, an enormous amount of highly radioactive dust will be dispersed (once again) across the region.

  • not for 7 hundred years

  • Yeah right! I know that some test have to be done but..

    Due to electrical failure the test were made by a nightshift, whom were not prepared/properly instructed.

    Eventually they over exceeded the generator it's max 10 times....

    Human flaw!

    About any life in the area..

    All contaminated/deformed..

    After 26-04-86 thousands of people refused to leave Tjernobyl, in 2006 only hundreds alive. Due to the extreme high fall-out, wich will remain for thousands, if not, millions of years..

    Peace!

see all

  • These "biorobots", who were they? Soldiers, prisoners? Their lives were sacrificed to clean up the place and I assume most, if not all, are dead by now.

  • I can't help but be fascinated by this disaster and the human race when it comes to both ignorance, and extreme bravery. It's such a shame. Had the actions in the control room played out differently, and those workers running the reactor had disregarded their direct order to run the test at those conditions, my gut instinct says this would of never happened. God bless them all. And let's all hope nothing as catastrophic happens again. I'm all for nuclear power, but not when it disregards safety.

  • 6:13 -is that a bird suddenly crashing or part of the roof falling off?

  • it's really incredible that the still intact reactor nr. 3 was operating until 2000. This is what humankind has learned after this tragedy... :(

  • good work

    

  • NOBODY lives at the buildings of the Prypiat...Prypiat was abandoned after the reactor explosion and nobody returned.Nobody could live in the city after the accident.Some locals only live in some o f the vilages of the 30km area.They never left.Please be accurate of what you are posting.

  • there are still people living in the buildings but they have been contaminated by the redioactivaty and therefor die in later years.

    the people who still live thare get there food by

  • Yeah.. you know the facts as well.

    I ain't got questions left.. It's all clear to me, human flaw with disastrous concequences, too many people had lost their lives since..As the fact of the matter, whole Europe had to face the cloud of disaster... Contaminate millions of people with small particles wich most likely lead to cancer.. Each is one to many but "They" all got it calculated... It's a true sad world... Salut from the Netherlands!

  • (Continued...)

    The question remains, if he had let the other engineers run it at 700(something) like they were supposed to, would the reactor have gotten through the 45 or so second wait for the diesel power generator to activate?

    If it would've worked fine.. then the blame is truly that engineer's fault who INSISTED to run it at 200.

    Sorry, damn 500 character limit stopped me from writing anymore.
