      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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      @ponypaw 8 років тому +379

      +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.

    I think the biggest problem is that people think that Fukishima is anything remotely like Chernobyl. They are completely different in almost every single way. But don't bother to read the actual scientific papers on the subject. All you need to hear is the word nuclear and you'll all freak the hell out. You should also realize that a Chernobyl like accident is literally impossible in a modern reactor as is what happened at Fukishima. Chernobyl was basically a nuclear power plant in a paper bag and Fukishima was ready to be shutdown precisely because of what happened and even that took one of the largest earthquakes on record. A modern nuclear power plant is not susceptible to any of these. Keep screaming about the dangers of nuclear power and we'll keep spewing coal into the air and we'll choke us all to death while we avoid the so-called dangers of nuclear power. With coal, we are destroying the planet far worse than even Chernobyl can do but fear mongering will prevent sensible discussion about clean, cheap nuclear power. If you want to stop climate change then I suggest we build a few thousand nuclear power plants around the world instead of burning coal, oil and so-called clean natural gas. But let's not let common sense get in the way.
