@@jasmreow thx for explaining i had a hard time typing that lol
There's lots of items since people where told not to take anything because the objects had radiation, and the filmmakers probably decide to film mostly the dolls to show decay and isolation in a dark tone, since dolls have already a creepy reputation in films. Also it serves as the tv trope "empathy doll shot"
If hes been studying Chernobyl for 10 years I wonder how much radiation he's received over that time and if it will have a negative effect on him. It's also fascinating that some animals have adapted to the radiation levels there
I would think there would be some damage right? Because radiation is cumulative.
@@AmethystEyes Your right in radiation is cumulative but there can also be a lethal acute dose. I know in the cumulative manner it can effect a person decades later from interfering with the replication process of your DNA which happens thousands of times in ones life
I've seen documentary news of scientists from various countries fly to Chernobyl and all the time with radiation counters and they claimed to puck up more radiation on the flights over North Artic in daytime than on the ground in Chernobyl unless they go into 5 mile radius of nuclear plant . You wonder who is telling the truth . I wouldn't go near any nuclear plant or facility of any type . I absolutely refuse to even have a microwave in the kitchen .

its barely above the amount of radiation you get from a plane trip, its harmless there now, just annual exposure is above what is recommended, but not a huge amount above.
If you don't stay too long and If you don't go in the core of the power plant where there's the molten uranium you'll be just fine. And btw as long as those animals don't get into his body, to touch them isn't dangerous.
Touch has nothing to do with it. If it is radioactive enough to affect you, it is the area (not contact) that would be the problem.
I see everyone here still believes in the radioactive boogeyman. You were lied to.
Well, we need brave people to go into the zone and do research. They probably have a decontamination process once they leave and return to lab.

"pretty darn radioactive" says the guy wearing no protection what's so ever
They must believe that radiation exposure is a joke. Not for all the money in the world.
There's no protection you can wear for the type of radiation thats the most abundant in Chernobyl
It took me quite a while to realize that when hes reffering to "hot" and "cold" areas, he means radiation levels, not climate
There's not much additional gear one can wear to protect a person from the radiation.
As long as the researchers limit their exposure to the hot zones, they aren't subjecting themselves to significantly increased risks.
'whatsoever' is a single compound word
if you go online and make a survey for the league of legends community you'll find that around 40% to 50% are from Chernobyl and you'll see that in there toxicity levels.

And he counts himself as one of the test subjects of his studies slowly becoming one of them through the years. His earlier photos show that he wore protection but now apparently he thinks he is immune even though everyone else is wearing protection around him.
Protective gear only avoids incorporation of radioactive particles (which is the most dangerous type of exposure).
The protective gear does NOT protect against (gamma) radiation. The only protection against gamma radiation is to keep exposure time short
However, having radioactive material directly on your unprotected skin (so alpha and beta rays can reach live tissues) is also not a smart idea. I would at least wear gloves.
@@norbertfleck812 ain't nobody got time for that😂

Chronic exposure is dangerous. Being in that environment for a few hours isn't as dangerous as living in the area for a long amount of time. Also, he's old, so there's less of a chance that he'd develop a life threatening disease from radiation exposure

So this guy is also studying the effects of radiation to himself too? Not all heros wear capes.... or a hazmat suit...
That's all I kept wondering was just how much exposure has this guy had? He's been studying the areas for years and he's just walking around no suit or anything pointing a Geiger counter at mushrooms and bugs like yep that sure has a high level of radiation... What about you dude?
I dont think its that much radio active anymore that it can effect people. And almost everything you see there now is fake. Chernobyl is world famous and attracts alot of people, they kinda made a carnival out of it
Those effects are only noticeable during long term exposure.
You are fine as long as you have short periods of exposure. The only really dangerous places are the Hospital Basement, inside and directly around the plant, and in any places where debris landed from the initial explosion.
The Hospital Basement is where the Firefighters dropped all their gear after trying to fight the fire. I do believe a concrete wall was built around the internal reactor bits (I don't know much about reactors). This keeps people from going in. Samples of radioactive material were chipped off with rifle shots in order to eliminate exposure time.
Chernobyl and Pripyat are fairly safe. I mean, people do live there and thousands probably visit every two or three years so, he's probably fine.
the other guy is wearing a suit.

@@abhijeetpandey9234Firstly the radiation from Hiroshima and Nagasaki largely dissipated decades ago due to the type of bomb that was dropped so there'd be no point. Secondly theres no putting America in a bad light on those bombings considering how Japan was a fascist genocidal nation that worshipped its Emperor as a God and used POWs as slave labor and for human experimentation. Japan deserved a good glassing.
It's amazing how plants are still there. It would be interesting to know how they are affected.
This is so interesting. For comparison - short term high radiation levels (UV or ionizing) are used to create new varieties (mutants) of many plants, but in the case of Chernobyl the radiation levels are relatively low but persistent. The fact that they're finding many mutations and abnormalities unfortunately can suggest that the extent of lies and censorship regarding the real impact of the disaster on human health might be even greater than most of us assume.

@ThatBugBehindYou
Wasnt it C02?
I have written a scientific paper about the effects of radiation in Chernobyl and Mousseaus work has played a significant part in exploring this topic. The results of of my studys were sometimes surprising.
and still can't spell
I would be interested to find studies done on Hanford Reach, USA. While no catastrophic events have occurred, during the earlier years there was a plethora of unmarked radioactive dump sites, and tons of radioactive material buried in the ground. Most of it was from the era they were making weapons grade plutonium. There have been rabbits caught and found to be 'hot' with radiation. Bird nests knocked down on site, and workers told to avoid the area as their droppings were hot as well. But it also has some of the best thriving elk populations, with higher calving rates and survival rates, probably due to lack of hunting but it would be interesting to find if the area has any impact on it.
Why isnt he wearing anything protective.
thats what i was thinking
+Cold Soul King Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he frequently goes there with no protection wouldn't the effect become harmful overtime? Like how for the same reason any doctor who gives an X-ray outs on a lead vest to do it, even if it only exposes them a bit.
+Hollow Marthon An X-ray test actually gives more radiation to you than you standing in the edge of Chernobyl for 4-5 hours. Radiation is measured in micro sieverts and 1 banana has about 0.1 microsieverts, so 45 microsieverts per hour (at the edge of Chernobyl) isn't too much for him to wear a suit. Also, it takes about 2 million microsieverts, or 2 sieverts for a person to be fatally injured by radiation damage, so he won't need a suit unless he tries to experiment at the center of the incident, where it could reach to a number of maybe 5000 microsieverts per hour.
+Cold Soul King i mean that breathing in even one radioactive particle could cause you a cancer few years later.
Hyun Soo Park Didn't know that. Well if that's the case then yeah, he might be fine for now. Probably not having kids though.

@@Xavilian It may be low but they are still exposed to it. Long time exposure to radiation will lead to health risk. Plus, the radiation there is stronger than radiation that we are used to like phones and television. A scientist I know died of cancer due to long term exposure to radiation for a research. So yes, they are risking their lives. In fact, a lot of scientists are.

If you dont know your facts dont bother commenting..
@@maoyu4886 They are not risking their lives, yes they are exposed to more radiation, but not deadly levels if they are there for a day or so

What are those red bugs? I remember seeing something really similar on vacation in Puerto Rico when I was little and I never quite forgot them.
I remember some random channel saying that it’s normal for two headed animals to be found around cherynoble
