theres no moments of silence then, its has been dramatist by the west, tell me what year did reactor 1-2 and 3 shut down, how many years AFTER the explosion and how many of the 138 workers that worked after the explosion are alive, I know the answers, they will shock you as the event was NOT as bad as it was made out to be, also how many people have been in the so called radioactive zone from before till this day?

Nah, I could go to sleep with that sound. I like radiation. I don’t fear it (well, unless it goes into the >2mSv range!), unlike most. Yes, the Cold War brought to light how dangerous it can be, but there isn’t really much to worry about normally. Not unless a new Cold War sparks off again.
If you can hear clicks, that is the sound of individual particles colliding with the detector. This means you can probably hang around. The scary sound is when when the clicks are so frequent, the detector emits a constant scream. If you hear that, run.
There was actually another accident in 1991 at Chernoyl. It did not involve radioactivity though. This time it was really just a hydrogen explosion :-)
@@camb381 You cannot feel the radiation penetrating through your body but you will suffer its exposure effects like cancer, ulcers, cuts, etc. That's actually what he/she meant though....
My mom worked south of Chernobyl. She was operating on childrens’ teeth. She saw a whole bunch of deformed mouths, and cleft lips and pallets. This was because of the radiation, and the kids grew deformities. She says that now she has PTSD, from seeing all the pain those kids went through.

You can feel radiation, when it's in high enough quantities. The firefighters who were called to the reactor that morning all later reported having a strong metallic taste in their mouth, and feeling pin pricks all over their face. Unfortunately, I meant _shortly_ later - most of those firefighters were dead within two weeks. When you are exposed to so much radiation that you can _feel_ it, you're pretty much doomed.
You arent yet doomed. With alot of luck you can survive even if you "feel" it. Some of the soliders that were sent on the rooftops of the reactor to clean it off radioactive trash still got away with that metally taste. Fun fact is that that metally taste will mostly never go away
I was talking about the firefighters that morning. The few dozen first responders who didn't even know that the fire was related to the core at all. Most of the ones who actually got near the building were dead within two weeks. My post didn't mention anything at all about the hundreds of thousands of people who came later, and who were at least aware of the scale and danger of the disaster.
That was both Toptunov and Ignatenko. But large radiation fields (into roentgen/second or sieverts/second) can cause a metallic taste (due to radiolysis, the breaking down of tissue due to excessive radiation). But fields that large (1Sv/h is guaranteed to start radiation sickness, 10Sv/h is guaranteed death WITH treatment) are basically death forcefields.
@@bardes18 Yes and no. Although the risk of being harmed by the present radiation in the form of radiation sickness is low, you still expose yourself to much higher doses of radiaton. As with any radiation, you run the risk of having unusual cell growth. Exposing yourself to higher levels of radiation is increasing the risk, so you can argue it is dangerous.
Read Adam Higginbotham’s “Midnight In Chernobyl”. Compare the series to the book and there ARE differences. And actually relatively big ones.

It's amazing. I've never had any experience with radiation but the sound of the meter is hard-wired into my brain as terrifying. Something about the creeping, cracking blips just sends chills
@@lil_weasel219 creative? What are you talking about? I don't care about "being creative", it's just a convenient way of saying you missed the joke, of you kept saying "hey, you missed the joke" every time they see someone missing the joke it'd feel way spammier then r/woooosh and it's not as convenient to type.
The first responders to Chernobyl, which were blanketed with heavy radiation, described they tasted metal and felt a 'pins and needles' sensation in their faces.
+Sam Adekunle Highly unlikely, since no one knew what to expect at the time, definitely not the soldiers. My father was supposed to be in one of the clean-up teams a few months later (got held back at the last moment for medical reasons), and I remember we were mostly worried about him being away for so long. I think they could have felt the described sensation, since what got sprinkled over the area and carried away with the wind were tiny particles of heavy metals that emitted radiation. It is equally possible that the statements were given long afterwards, when the consequences were already known, and looking back, that's what they thought they felt
I know it might sound wrong, but it's quite appealing the looks of a deserted city... mysterious yet calm with all the surrounding wilderness. It must be hellishly scary at nights
I was 8 when this happened. I remember the news breaking, people being scared and I said to my mother is everyone ok? She said ... god will keep them safe. Even today... this breaks my heart because I know she tried to reassure me but every year I light a candle to remember because of what she said. We can’t forget what happened but we can learn from it.
I'm really sorry you went though this this is terrible... if you don't mind me asking how old are you and did you ever go back if not why if so how did you feel ?
@@OGJongirl88 oh I'm just now lurking about it like on my own I just saw I vid I'm dissipated I have been in school half my life and just found out this happened so long ago I'm very disappointed in my school system
I've always found it a bit peaceful and terrifying how quiet it is when people visit Chernobyl. I know someone who went there and they said that it was the most terrifying place they ever visited. Not because of anything scary or horror stories but the overwhelming sense of dread and the lack of any kind of sound from civilization. He said it is as if you can feel the weight of what happened when you are there. The one thing from a story that stuck out to me was he had this constant feeling like they were being watched. And that they needed to leave
For the people who claim that he is in terrible danger by what he's doing there a few words: When it comes to radiation exposure from outside the human body can handle nearly extremely high doses compared to the natural background radiation. The danger is about "incorporation", when radioactive material gets inside of your body. The natural background radiation is about 0.1 - 0.2 micro Sieverts /h (micro means 10 to the minus 6). You get radiation sickness by a dose from about 1 Sievert, which is 10 Million times 0.1 micro Sievert. In one hour in front of the reactor where he stands he gets a dose of about 5-6 micro Sieverts. A CT scan gets you a dose of about 4 milli Sieverts! So about a thousand times as much and two times what you normaly get in a year through natural background radiation. The problem in Chernobyl was that just on the roof of the reactor where soldiers had to remove parts of the reactor fuel the radiation was about 120 Sieverts/h, which gives you a lethal dose in a few minutes (120 Sv = 120,000,000 micro Sv). You may want to protect yourself when there are radioactive particles, that you could breathe in. But there is no real clothing that "shields" radiation. US radtiation workers are by the way limited to 50 milli Sieverts (50,000 micro Sieverts) of radiation per year. The real problem is incorporation. Uranium-238 for example emits alpha radiation that from the outside normally doesn't penetrate through your skin. But when Uranium gets inside of your body, close or inside of a human cell it couses a lot of damage because alpha radiation has of all radiation types the highest ionising potential even thou it has the lowest penetration depth. By the way he has made another video called "The most radioactive places on earth" which is better than this one, where he examples a little bit about the radiation and its danger.
Gaming King You can convert sievert to rem (roentgen equivalent in man) by this: 1 Sv=100 rem. They are both units used to measure the equivalent and effective dose. Which are derived from the absorbed dose by including the effects of radiation to organic tissue. The absorbed dose would be measured in Gray(SI) or in rad. Roentgen however is a pretty old unit which isn‘t used anymore because of the fact that it just measures the exposure by the amount of energy absorbed by air. But different materials absorbe a different amount of energy, which means that not only the amount of radiation determines the damage but also the type of matter. That‘s why the unit „rad“ was created to measure the absorbed dose. 1 Gray being 100 rad.
Gaming King Thanks a lot for your compliment! Well I‘m just a 19 year old student of mechanical engineering in Germany and those things lay kinda in my interest ;).
“I did everything right” Aleksandr Akimov. I cannot imagine the dread and sorrow he and his colleagues felt after hearing that indeed the reactor did explode. They didn’t make any mistakes they just followed orders and when all else failed the very button that was supposed to save them cause mass destruction

@@Дмитрий-п9ь7щ that's just because of adaptation much like the bugs and birds and small rodents that live in that area now and some dont seem to have any significant radiation damage or non visible at all in some cases. at the end of the day nuclear is still natural, just not in that concentration.
My mother was 2 when it happened and she was on a train to her grandmothers they took a stop right next to Chernobyl for like 40 minutes and im so happy im fine and she’s fine and none of my brothers and me have cancer! :D
Mask is needed to prevent contaminated dust and other particles from getting into your lungs, where they will continue to poison your body with radiation from the inside. Now, the radioactivity dust and other remnants from explosion are mostly settled down, so it is fairly safe to breathe without a mask.
@@dorian8058 uranium atoms don't penatrate your skin lol. If anything, uranium is the least of your worries: it has such a long halftime, that it is basically harmless. You shouldn't eat it though, as you wouldn't eat lead. Radioactive strontium and caesium are, i think, your primary concerns if you want to live and grow food in the Chernobyl area.
@@GriseWeisshark There aren't really any places on the outside that are dangerous to visit. There are a couple like the Pripyat hospital basement where the firefighter's clothes were dumped that you wouldn't want to linger for extended periods in.

I think they could have felt the described sensation, since what got sprinkled over the area and carried away with the wind were tiny particles of heavy metals that emitted radiation. It is equally possible that the statements were given long afterwards, when the consequences were already known, and looking back, that's what they thought they felt

I always see ur comments
I've always found it a bit peaceful and terrifying how quiet it is when people visit Chernobyl. I know someone who went there and they said that it was the most terrifying place they ever visited. Not because of anything scary or horror stories but the overwhelming sense of dread and the lack of any kind of sound from civilization. He said it is as if you can feel the weight of what happened when you are there. The one thing from a story that stuck out to me was he had this constant feeling like they were being watched. And that they needed to leave
A forest has the same feel
@@maheshrathod5593 in some cases that can be true. I enjoy hunting and there are some woods that can give an eerie feeling.
For the people who claim that he is in terrible danger by what he's doing there a few words: When it comes to radiation exposure from outside the human body can handle nearly extremely high doses compared to the natural background radiation. The danger is about "incorporation", when radioactive material gets inside of your body. The natural background radiation is about 0.1 - 0.2 micro Sieverts /h (micro means 10 to the minus 6). You get radiation sickness by a dose from about 1 Sievert, which is 10 Million times 0.1 micro Sievert. In one hour in front of the reactor where he stands he gets a dose of about 5-6 micro Sieverts. A CT scan gets you a dose of about 4 milli Sieverts! So about a thousand times as much and two times what you normaly get in a year through natural background radiation. The problem in Chernobyl was that just on the roof of the reactor where soldiers had to remove parts of the reactor fuel the radiation was about 120 Sieverts/h, which gives you a lethal dose in a few minutes (120 Sv = 120,000,000 micro Sv). You may want to protect yourself when there are radioactive particles, that you could breathe in. But there is no real clothing that "shields" radiation. US radtiation workers are by the way limited to 50 milli Sieverts (50,000 micro Sieverts) of radiation per year.
The real problem is incorporation. Uranium-238 for example emits alpha radiation that from the outside normally doesn't penetrate through your skin. But when Uranium gets inside of your body, close or inside of a human cell it couses a lot of damage because alpha radiation has of all radiation types the highest ionising potential even thou it has the lowest penetration depth. By the way he has made another video called "The most radioactive places on earth" which is better than this one, where he examples a little bit about the radiation and its danger.
Very informative.
Nice, but it would have more clear to me if you used roengten instead of sievert
Gaming King You can convert sievert to rem (roentgen equivalent in man) by this: 1 Sv=100 rem. They are both units used to measure the equivalent and effective dose. Which are derived from the absorbed dose by including the effects of radiation to organic tissue. The absorbed dose would be measured in Gray(SI) or in rad. Roentgen however is a pretty old unit which isn‘t used anymore because of the fact that it just measures the exposure by the amount of energy absorbed by air. But different materials absorbe a different amount of energy, which means that not only the amount of radiation determines the damage but also the type of matter. That‘s why the unit „rad“ was created to measure the absorbed dose. 1 Gray being 100 rad.

Why? Only the so called "hotspots" are very dangerous. The rest is just like a normal city 🤷🏽♂️
Mask is needed to prevent contaminated dust and other particles from getting into your lungs, where they will continue to poison your body with radiation from the inside. Now, the radioactivity dust and other remnants from explosion are mostly settled down, so it is fairly safe to breathe without a mask.
Doesn't matter, the uranium atoms can go through skin and change your DNA-sequence. Mask won't help
if the mask worked, he woulda worn it
@@dorian8058 uranium atoms don't penatrate your skin lol.
If anything, uranium is the least of your worries: it has such a long halftime, that it is basically harmless. You shouldn't eat it though, as you wouldn't eat lead.
Radioactive strontium and caesium are, i think, your primary concerns if you want to live and grow food in the Chernobyl area.

It's relatively safe now as long as you stay away from heavily radiated areas. That's why they lend you a Geiger counter to detect the radiation.
@@GriseWeisshark There aren't really any places on the outside that are dangerous to visit. There are a couple like the Pripyat hospital basement where the firefighter's clothes were dumped that you wouldn't want to linger for extended periods in. But all of the really bad stuff is entombed inside the former reactor building now. That said...it's very easy to get your own geiger counter, I have one that's a little bit better than the one he's using in this video, and it was only $300 on Amazon. (Look up Radiascan 701a.)
