      The scientists knew the design of their RBMK reactor very well, they were aware of the risks, it all came down to a balancing act between cost and safety.
      What caused the accident at the end was the negligent safety culture and the inherent unsafe design combined.
      - The exact composition of the control rods and the increased reactivity caused by inserting them into the core was kept from the engineers operating the plant.
      The Chief designer of the RBMK reactor knew that this could be an issue, because the reactivity was noticed in another RBMK reactor plant before, but nothing was done to remedy it. There was a widespread view that the conditions under which the positive scram effect would be important would never occur.
      - The authors who wrote the test procedure had no knowledge of the positive SCRAM issue, furthermore it was allowed to disable key safety equipment if it was according to procedure.
      - The safety test was supposed to only affect the electrical side and therefore did not need approval from the the chief design authority but it required disabling certain safety equipment from the reactor itself, which normally would require approval.
      - Due to the conditions of the reactor at the time, it was not possible to do the safety test according to procedure, so they took the more inexperienced night shift and forced them to do it anyway, manually by disabling almost all safety features. The computer system designed to monitor the plant could not be used because it was never designed to operate in these conditions.

    "This is what happens when we play with technology we don't understand."
    This deserves a place in The Great Hall of the Stupidest Things Ever Said By A Human Being. The technology and the physics principals behind nuclear power generation are understood perfectly. They were understood then and they are still understood today. What he should have said is, "This is what happens when you put bureaucrats and uneducated people in charge of things THEY don't understand". The Chernobyl disaster happened because inexperienced workers were entrusted with performing a dangerous experiment on a live nuclear reactor by a bunch of brainless government suits. Fukushima happened because, even though they'd been warned that the plant was vulnerable to tsunami, the corporation in charge didn't think it was worth spending the money to fix it. The problem with nuclear power isn't the science or the technology. The problem is human/government/corporate ignorance and greed.

If this wasn't supposed to be an enlightening channel then it would be fine, just two people having a good time, who doesn't want to get drunk and walk around Chernobyl?

    I bet he nailed that chick on the train and they had a mutant baby that they had to put in a microwave to kill it so it didn't take over the world!

    I agree this was a terrible event, not sure why someone wouldn't, but I find it so interesting to see abandoned towns, cities, whatver. There's something about them that is just so cool and it's why i like post-apocalyptic stories so much

    Didn't know a Dragunov was a machine gun. But I guess I should be more concerned about the fact that he's shooting it while drunk...

      You can even tell that they're on a shooting range... The building has lanes, earthwall on the right, wall on the left, and even four wooden/metal constructs for target practice on the left downrange... it's so fake... It does not even count as propaganda anymore...
