    Just to add on about the firemen's clothing:
    When the firemen arrived, many of them were soaking wet, most were already exibiting signs of acute radiation poisoning; burns, blisters, internal bleeding, skin discoloration, etc, and the nurses needed to take their clothes off of them because the clothes were so radioactive that it continued to spread and seep radiation into their skin and their surroundings. Once the nurses realized the clothing was causing secondary exposure, the nurses cut the uniforms off of the men and put them as far away from the patients as they could - the basement. Obviously anyone who touched the clothing could get radiation poisining (and still to this day) so no one ever went back to move those uniforms out of the basement. No effort was made to "preserve" them, but infact the exact opposite, an effort was made not to ever touch or disturb the clothing again. So everything in that hospital was left how it was when they eventually evacuated.
    The first patients to arrive into the hospital, it was not inherently obvious to the hospital staff what was happening until they recognized the signs of radiation burns - so all the patients and staff who were initially in the hospital before the explosion became exposed to secondary radiation simply from the radioactive patients coming into the hospital. An effort was made to isolate and "quarantine" the hospital (as best as they could back then) in a way to allow the nurses to continue to work their entire shift. Nurses had to work in short alternating shifts when treating severe cases of radiation exposure to minimize their own exposure. However since the initial patients were severe cases - they died within the first couple of days and weeks - they could only try to manage their pain. The doctors simply put them on high doses of pain meds in an IV drip and observed them from outside the patient rooms.
    Staff wore hazmat suits, gloves, etc, although those ended up having little effect in the long run. Much of the hospital staff died from exposure, or were diagnosed with all kinds of cancer that shortened their life expectancy by decades.

      @behindtheglamour Рік тому +11

      It wasn't really the "world" who came together during the crisis, it was the men (and women, in some cases) who were around the area, lived in Pripyat or Belarus, or were just on-duty (firefighters/Medical personnel) when the evacuation and relocation happened. They didn't get any assistance from outside countries considering - as mentioned in PART 1 - they didn't want to admit they screwed up. It wasn't until it started affecting other countries that we even learned about what happened there. It didn't even affect the US in the 80's, so we left Ukraine to figure itself out. It was a lack of understanding how severe the situation actually was and a mandatory -duty- for those who worked there or around there to report to their job(s). Like with Vladimir just doing his job as was expected back then. Unless you live in Ukraine and are speaking about the people there coming together again?

    • @jace_Henderson
      @jace_Henderson 2 роки тому +5

      So many safety protocols were broken and they essentially brought the reactor to a state where it was practically choked and suffocated. So when they went to increase the power and it stopped going up, the reactor was choked with xenon until it started to burn off, then everything went from lowering reactivity to things that increase it and then the power surge that caused them to press AZ-5/A3-5 started to happen. Basically, once they started having the power surge, the reactor was already doomed to fail whether they scrammed or not because it was surging without anything to counter reactivity.

People risked their lives to save generations and centuries of people. This really shows how the world helps others, helps other people they don’t even know.

    Radiation destroys on a molecular level. Your body is always producing new skin. All the information for making new skin is in your dna. When radiation destroys your dna, it doesnt have that info anymore so your skin just starts to deteriorate. All your cells are destroyed, and your body reacts to it a lot similarly to a burn. It will melt your body from the inside out if you receive to much. It could get to the point to where doctors can't even administer IV pain killers because your arteries and veins just fall apart. Truly one of the worse ways to die. If not THE worse way to die

    I remember learning about this in school and how they used lunar rovers to try and push all the graphite back into the reactor but it was so toxic that it completely destroyed the rovers so they had to use men to clear it in 90 second bursts. Also the AZ-5 shutdown button was meant to level out the reactor but at the end of the rods they made graphite tips because it was cheaper witch caused the reactor to explode . It also took them over 30 hours to agree on an evacuation because the meter only showed 3.5 but that was the highest it went on the meter . Basically they then lied to the public’s to cover there backs and stay out of the blame but in the final court case it was exposed that there were still 3 reactors running at that very time that were not yet fixed
    Basically the AZ-5 button became a detonator for the core because of the graphite tips the rods had .

    Graphite on the Control rods was the final straw, not the warped tubes, the Graphite when re introduced back into the reactor caused a runaway, which is why the power level hit such a critical level.

      @@pixel8122 Nothing, thankfully! From what I understand, it was only a partial meltdown so there wasn't enough gas released to cause any damage to the people or surrounding areas. But this happened a few years before Chernobyl, so people didn't really know what to think and it seemed more disastrous than it was. You can look it up, Three Mile Island. I believe it's still considered the most significant accident in U.S. nuclear power plant history.

    I am a teacher for infants all the way up to 3 year olds. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for the schools and the little children in chernobyl having to go through drills like that and just having to abandon everything, not knowing what was going to happen. This series has been amazing so far and I can't wait for the next part

    One thing I would like to add to the liquidators that went up several times, everyone who went up there were given a dosimeter that tracked their exposure, but many of the older people who went up there would trade their used dosimeter for the fresh one that a younger liquidator had gotten.
