The Ultimate Guide For Visiting Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Beyond the historic old towns and beautiful lakes and forests of Lithuania, there’s another attraction for tourists to check out - at least for now.... It’s not exactly for everyone- but the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant might be of interest to those with a background in energy or engineering- or maybe just an interest in soviet history. If anything about the HBO miniseries Chernobyl fascinated you, then the Ignalina facility should definitely be on your list!

I don’t want them to demolish the plant. I think Lithuania should use the power plant as a nuclear research lab.
same
research for what exactly?
The reason why chernobil was filmed here is becouse a lot of the stuff here is a 1 to 1 copy of the plant in chernobil.
The true reason is actually because Russians didn't allow them to film propaganda mini series on their ground. True copy of Chernobyl plant is NPP Kursk, still operational ;)
@@RBMK5000 nice to see you commenting here
It isn’t an exact copy because the reactors are the more powerful RBMK 1500 not the RBMK 1000 like at Chernobyl
@@bigships they are still almost the same reactor with only some slight changes
@@RBMK5000 what exactly was the propaganda of the film or are you just a western hater for no reason
Very informative awesome vidoe as always. I thunk I'll go check it out before it's too late.
Chris you had an interesting time!!! I'm just laughing while watching.....who's still calling for dispatch taxis😅
😅 Talking on the phone + dealing with language barrier = recipe for disaster! haha Hope you have a chance to get out to the power plant or at least the town!
a bus from visaginas to vilnius is 16-17€ so i would guess it’s similar from vilnius to visaginas
Thanks! And can you confirm that is the round-trip price?
@@LithuaniaExplained unofortunately, no, the bus ticket is 16-18€ one way
Train best option
The reactor design is similar to that of Chernobyl, but it will probably be safer.
It’s an RBMK 1500 which makes more power than an RBMK 1000
Been there ten years ago with our colleague from LEI
I have an info that there is a bus from town centre to NPP. Namely no. 1 or 2. Can someone confirm this?
country is facing energy crysis, they should start powerplant to reduce electricity prices right now kwh costs 0.37 cents.
I know. But you can't restart a decommissioned nuclear power plant. But the EU will never accept a new power plant from being built as it is to clean, and good energy
Is It possible to visit the power plant one person?or it only accepts group reservations?
Yes you can register as one person.
There’s a free bus that takes you from the train station to Visaginas city and back. Synced to the train schedule.
How were you able to film?
obvioiusly he asked and they let them since he promotes it.
:)
Is there like blueprints of the floor plans?
Probably not publicly available information…
@@LithuaniaExplained Where did you get all of the footage?
Some of it is from the power plant UA-cam channel and some of it is from the media tour I arranged with them
@@LithuaniaExplained Did you record the footage of you walking in the cyan staircase?, if so then would the stairs case lead from the cyan corridor (pedestrian corridor) to the reactor hall enterance?
Can I also choose which unit I want to visit (Unit 1 or 2)? Not that it really matters anymore anyways, they started dismantling the reactor halls in January this year, but just curious if it was possible. Pretty sure they gonna cancel tours soon as well unofrtunately. EU sucks major balls
Its a shame they shut down the nuclear power plant
In France we still have nuclear power plant without UE fucking up.
Is visiting the plant dangerous in relation to radiation?
No. Radiation is monitored at all times and people on the tour wear Geiger counters which will beep above a certain threshold.
@@LithuaniaExplained thank you for the answer!
How did you do it so that you could've record a video but normal guests can't?
Occupied litvania?
No Russians are only trying their best to occupy Ukraine, but keep failing. Lithuania is a free country. 😁
Everyone gangsta until the the control rod tips start jumping
Same is Chernobyl
This one had more power.
It should be saved as a monument of higher civilization.
It's so sad they are dissasembling it because of the EU.
Thankfully, it is colapsing faster than dismantling of this plant.
The EU, or the power plant
Both
Also it should not be saved as a monument of a “higher civilisation” but as the only 2 RBMK 1500 reactors ever completed
Эту АЭС лучше бы построили в Белоруссии----- она бы до сих пор работала бы ,и приносила сверхприбыль !
i want to visit, but i am afraid that i will become radioactive after it.
It is quite boring, as they dont show more interesting things (been there)
It's awful how you pronounce Russian!
At least he’s trying
@@hellomate1416 If you need to take a coach to go somewhere and there's no coach driver available but a coach is there then would you trust a non-coach-driver human to at least try if they can drive the coach?

He lives in Lithuania not ruzzia ;)
How about you talking in English on camera
@@jrasy i guess that plant is also in Lithuania not Russia however it has a Russian name and names must be pronounced correctly.
