The worker who started bleeding. He is a notably big fella and hauled that door open. The spots he started bleeding were mostly his contact points with the door and frame. Would the compressing pressure. he exerted on his skin and muscles or contact with those surfaces for a prolonged period contribute to bleeding so soon?

At 2:38, I'm pretty sure that's Coventry! I recognise the council house and the court. :D

Creepier still: All the music was remixed from actual sounds recorded in nuclear power plants. The background music is Chernobyl singing to us after death. 😮

This was an explosion of heat and gas, not an atomic bomb. Moreover, what really caused damage was not the explosion and the shock wave it emitted, but the radiation emitted by the reactor to the environment and atmosphere....

Communism wasn't the problem. The problem was that the whole USSR administration during Gorbachev was based on lies. Just like Legasov said in the show, it all happened beacause of lies. It's sad to see it happening again in real time in USA.

Деякі казали що це був паровий вибух і їх було два ,а слова про ядерну бомбу від Лєгасова було направлено на те щоб люди відчули жах . Це моя думка.

The surrounding buildings were on fire for a while. Pictures taken from the scene show huge plumes of smoke for at least twenty-four hours.

Well done. Learned a little about nuclear energy production.

Sadly, the show unfairly portrays Dyatlov as an arrogant “prïck” like you say.. when in reality he was highly intelligent, calm, stern yet never belittled or yelled at his peers even during the disaster. That scene where he’s having a tantrum, slaps the clipboard out of the guys hand in the control room never happened. Even after getting exiled to the gulag, he wrote papers attempting to exonerate his colleagues’ actions. He helped expose the ongoing flaws he had personally observed at the reactor prior to the explosion. How the HBO series depicts him is a reflection of Soviet propaganda - ironic & tragic considering one of the major themes was “what is the cost of lies”. RIP to a good man & scientist, the scapegoat of Chernobyl 🍸

So I know this an old video and maybe it’s been stated, if so forgive me. But remember this was the Soviet Union. Scientist knew they had to lie to get things done that actually had to be done just like the KGB or the military or any “career party man”. Even if they Valery and his team knew it would created a 2MT explosion, he knew the rest of the room didn’t and that was something the soviets greatly feared! Also remember the character of Ulana wasn’t a real person but rather a combination of dozens of scientists that Valery worked with during the whole process. But having 40 something actors saying things and wouldn’t be as memorable as one. Thanks for the videos I am enjoying your work. Cheers

CHARLIE MURPHY!

The scene showing the collapsed core, where there is bleeding through the skin, soaking into the clothing, may have been illustrating that those workers were in an environment saturated in droplets, highly radioactive, settling into fabric of the clothing and the pores of their skin.

Why didn't Chernobyl use Hydrogen instead of Graphite ?

You didn't mention the CANDU reactors

Everythings impossible till it happens

Hi Charlie, the plastic is to protect the firefighter, his immune system is destroyed and any infection will be lethal, much love from the UK

I just found your channel and I'm very intrigued on the method you use to communicate by the constant rubbing of your hands I saw this when I was instructing Nuclear Power Engineers in the Navy. and if you allow me to say it seems to me it’s because you're trying to control everything that's going on in your mind with what you're hearing and seeing but explaining it at a level that us ordinary folks can understand so in effect you're dummying it down for us while trying to control the 10,000 things going through your mind every second. The rubbing of the hands - converting the left-over energy. Well done sir

React at a movie? 😂😂😂

So im abit late on this one but an emp wouldnt really effect gas and diesle vehichles up to about 2009s especially if the vehicle is running already. The cars electrical system can handle surges like that your guages might be wonky and youll have a check engine light. But if i understand correctly unless its a hybrid or an electric vehichle it should be fine. The best vehicles are pre 87 diesle vehicles. Theyre very analog and dont have computers that will fry out.

As a former firefighter it has always amazed me how the firefighters had no training on how to deal with fighting the fire or emergency precautions. We had a massive ammonia refrigerated facility in our community and we had emergency drills and were trained in different procedures and precautions in event there was an emergency. But I guess this is what happens when you have a huge government totalitarian socialist state ran by endless bureaucrats

I jump 23 seconds in when he said Chernobyl was the worse nuclear power plant accident in History. Everyone that has a brain knows Fukushima Daiichi is hundreds of times worse than Chernobyl!

Gamma radiation can affect all electrical equipment. Even incandescent light bulbs

That shirt ... Very Cool!

Ph.D. in reactor physics here. I appreciate the video. On the subject of the "nuclear bomb" description by Lagasov, I actually think it's fairly acceptable. The core wasn't just supercritical, it briefly was prompt-supercritical, so it effectively shares the same neutron kinetics behavior as a nuclear bomb for a short time. It's somewhat apt to describe it as a poorly formed, accidental bomb at that point. I also just want to mention for those interested that CANDUs-style power reactors, of which there are currently around ~29 operating in the world today, also have a positive void coefficient but have an excellent operational safety record. IMO positive void is an overblown source of controversy in the reactor safety analysis field.

The replacement cover is the called the NSC New Safe Confinement.

TDS.

Most of the Soviet leadership were ex military. Simple men who thought in simple terms. The "Bullet" analogy is perfect as it is a relatable experience for the higher members of the Soviet leadership.

3:04 GOOD GOD!! Its NOT a liverpool accent my friend, it's the Yorkshire accent, which is the constituent county where Sheffield resides!!! Whatever you do, just dont say that to a Liverpool resident OR a Sheffield resident😂

As a chemical engineer, I was shocked at the statement that "RMK reactors don't explode." When water turns to steam in an uncontrolled environment, the water thruns to team and expands to 1100 times its volume, causing an explosion, which is what happended here.

@26:00 there was a credible threat but it wasn't from from an explosion (especially one so comically large). The threat was from simply the molten nuclear material boiling the water and the vast amounts of steam carrying contamination in clouds away from the reactor. It would go on for some time rather than explode. The leidenfrost effect, in part, would ensure no explosion.

21:16: lyudmila wasn’t hurt by her husband’s absorbed radiation he might’ve been emitting, but rather, she’d spent too much time in pripyat after the explosion, and her child’s body naturally absorbed higher amounts, protecting her from developing ARS or cancer.

The counts there all dead

It was the CIA !!

I saw where the Pripyat hospital has been filled in the basement area with sand, covering the contaminated firefighting gear.

Up next, y’all break down Top Gun: Maverick lol

The sand was basically supposed to act as a heat sink.

It also inspired Star Trek VI

I think the weird thing over the pool is some sort of fuel reloader/unloader/manipulator They also look like a really big radioisotope thermal electric generator, it looks like a giant version of the beta m generators they used for lighthouses and Radio relays

By 'rbmk reactors don't explode' I think he meant unlike other, explosion prone Soviet designs

I've heard some people say that when reactor 4 blew it actually went prompt critical. I'm wondering is that plausible or a complete fringe theory?

I am a former Submariner so we learn basic operation and fundamentals of reactor theory and such.... I do believe these are based on actual accounts. The hand injury is based on injury reports I believe. I don't know how much is dramatized for viewing. We learned about k19 and this accident... and some of the issues with reactor operations. I was a diver and while sweeping the hull for attached items I had placed my and into the primary loop discharge.... glove was hot, and had to be scrubbed clean and was removed from dive operations for 6 months.

dušane? :D

Me holding my glass of vodka 😳😶

2 and 4 megatons???? LOL. That's nonsense, it's not a hydrogen bomb. Even kilotons is a stretch.

I definitely don't know dick about how any of this works. One thing i was curious about, is that in this show they hint at this potentially being a possible extinction event if they didn't find a solution. Is there any real merit to that? The gist of it, if i recall, was that radiation would continue to pour into the atmosphere and travel all over the globe. It always kind of sounded like bullshit to me, but i don't know enough to question it, lol.

Your mom is an essay against communism.

In regards to the scene where the scientists were shown what happened: I think the decision to not show the victims was because Nolan wanted to focus on Oppenheimer's reaction AND simultaneously wanted the audience's imagination to run wild -- which sometimes is better than actually seeing it.

They where pretty much standing next to an open reactor core that exploded. I think the time when stuff happens will be indeed much quicker that way.

I watched your first video about this and finally watched the series. Ouf is it good.
