NOVA - Inside Chernobyl's Sarcophagus part 2

This episode won an Emmy. It covers the sarcophagus built to contain the remains of the
destroyed reactor and the work of the Russian scientists, staff and soldiers who risked
and continue to risk their lives in the clean-up operation.

"This file was digitised from a VHS recording of the program. The picture quality is
fair, however, the sound track has some occasional static, especially towards the
beginning.

I think this is the 1996 updated version of the original 1991 program and includes an
extra 10 minutes of interviews with several of the original scientists. It is shorter
than the 60 minutes described on the BBC website and may have been edited."

@freecomptechreview dont forget, the CIA has publicly stated that it will do its utmost to maintain the status quo. that been regardless of a democratic government or a tyrant, if it goes against the national interests of the US, it will act. We japs, dont hate America though. Even after 67 years, since the end of the war, I still see, propeller airplanes flying in the sky..

@teddythebenny America's population has since reached over 50% poor, and this so-called world saving capitalist government has a horrible track record for making the world worse. let me name a few things, Liberation of Arab countries, Liberation of Vietnam, The Hiroshima bomb in japan, and not to mention the god forsaken Hydrogen and Atomic bomb. There is a reason why most first world countries hate America as well as the basically all third world countries do as well.

@freecomptechreview name one nation which is not. The US controls the world bank, the UN, NATO, the IMF, the international courts. In effect, any nation on earth, is influenced by the systems of globalization. To obtain a loan, one has to privatize/denationalize industries, open the economy to market forces, i.e global companies. As a developing nation, pays off its interest payments, let alone its wholesale debts, it can not achieve promises of governance.. & called by the people a hypocrite.

@teddythebenny Every nation is not a hypocrite but the usa is the definition of a hypocrite society.

[teddythebenny]

@freecomptechreview lol, and how might i ask, did you deduce that... every nation is a hyprocrite.. they just dont teach that at school..

[freecomptechreview]

@teddythebenny not to be rude but the real laughable thing is that you are surprised the American government is a hypocrite.

One has to understand, Nuclear power is not a threat to people. It is how we utilize the power harnessed, not for the people, but for self-ideological, & self-beneficial. for example, Chernobly occurred on grounds of a bureaucratically naive regime, as well as today`s US nuclear industry been largely subsidized by the government. while we radioactively pollute the earth using Uranium class weapons.. its the typical a chicken for a AK47 in Africa, killing more people, then a Silo in texas.

@freecomptechreview whats laughable, is that since three mile island, no nuclear power station has been built in the US. However, the US public utilities amendment of 2005, allows nuclear power plants in the US to remain in operation for another 25 years. Also, although the US government does not allow the construction of new plants, they endorse the creation of such plants overseas. Using the world bank and IMF, to bankroll the project, Bataan been one, and whats more its a 1980s design.

@mucbeanz You are funny first of all I am in Canada, second of all I watch RT every single day and nothing else. all I know is a reactor melted down and the story says it was caused by both human error and mechanical error.
