It's extremely sad. Pripyat was clearly a well designed city made for the burgeoning middle class of the Soviet Union. It's only flaw was that it was in close proximity to a poorly designed nuclear reactor. Thanks for sharing the video 👍🏻

Very informative and hauntingly entertaining video. I was always under the impression that the whole nuclear power plant was abandoned but it's clear that it is full of life. I really love that there is a memorial to Valery Khodemchuk as the reactor became his tomb. Hopefully he didn't suffer. ❤

Hey Eric, It was a pleasure meeting you and Stephanie on the trip and thanks for sharing the video. I enjoyed the perspective from your cabin. I hope the journey to Seattle was as enjoyable as the trip to L.A. Very sorry we couldn't go all the way with you. I would imagine getting a seat at the VIBE bar got a little easier though.

Pripyat, Ukraine was a wonderful city and it will too eternally will and even though I will never been there I will always wonder about the future of Pripyat, Ukraine and Chernobyl too and this tragic event happened 38 years ago on Saturday April 26, 1986 in Pripyat, Ukraine at the Chernobyl Power Plant too.

The map you were showing sometimes in the video was of before or after the accident?

Hard to imagine that the zone was overrun by invaders in tanks just a few weeks later.

What happened to all the little round colored meters that you see in the control rooms

If I worked there, I would demand all tourists put their monitors on alarm only with a much higher setpoint. That beeping is incessant, unnecessary and you cant hear the information. To be fair these guys aren't as bad with them as some videos I've seen.... bionerd being the worst. No one who works in the industry uses digital monitors in that mode. The analog ones make noise inherent to their design, but they are only used in limited situations. Much respect for all the tour guides' patience.

Hi, looked great. How long was your flight?

Okay, this video is freaking awesome It was really cool to get an actual layout of the building. I've always been so curious about it. I appreciate the upload and taking your time to visit such such a poisonous place :)

cool ass museum

This is by far the best and most detailed video tour footage I have ever seen of this place. Thank you very much for uploading this!

I Had no idea that the last reactor at Chernobyl was only shut down in December 2000, that’s 14 years after the accident.

24:40 that was not the upper biological shield, it was the lid. These things get confused a lot so dont feel dumb lol.

Cant hear what the man is SAYING 99% of the time

50,000 people used to live here, now it’s a ghost town.

You looked like there were a couple of "G's" involved lol!

"snug fit" BAHAHAHAHA

London looked smooth!

42:48 - Passengers are screaming......lol

time 35:04......OOps....a bit of bitch making that turn and landing....a lot going on at once!

The place most likely has radio active micro size dust particles. They are wearing masks to help avoid breathing dust particles. They cover their hair and head to avoid getting dust particles in to their hair. But, there is no eye protection. The skin of their face is exposed! The type of masks they are wearing is not very efficient to block extremely small dust particles. This is from my perspective.

I wanna go there and have look at it! I was going to go in 2019 but the scamdemic stopped my trip sadly!!!

EXCELLENT video! thank you for showing a map of where your were in the building! i just wish the video was longer

It's a little hard to gauge from the footage I guess, but I always found the arrangement of the control rooms rather odd? It's like they where just made in a hurry, in the corner of a larger room? Thanks for the great footage;)

24:25 what was there? why taking photos not allowed?

Absolutely wild watching this right now given current circumstances. Wonder if any of the workers filmed were unlucky enough to be there when the Russian armor columns arrived. Strange days.

From 13:11 The Geiger counter is screaming

Eine Nation, die auf dem Gebiet der Atomwissenschaft und Atomwirtschaft nicht Gleichstand und Konkurrenzfähigkeit mit den übrigen Völkern aufweisen kann, wird allmählich einem Prozess der Deklassierung unterliegen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpOwnpSbi76Mmpo

What does "ZSR" stand for? (The letters on the back of their jackets)

This is outdated for 1986...

The building is in excellent condition.

Chernobyl is not right, right name its Chornobyl

Awesome video - and you did save the best for last - the fuel rods!😃👍

and now stupid russian soldiers looting everything there... sending home everything the can steal from there... I cannot understand how can they be so stupid. Is that a russian thing beeing idiots or is that a soldier thing?

Go there today lol

Nobody goes there..... You are not there.....

Been wrecked it's a shame

😯

This is an awesome video! I just have one favor to ask: could you please add cc for the guide? I’d love to better hear what he says. Someday, I hope Ukraine can recover from getting screwed twice by the Russians.

What big is small what small is is big

Loving the lush 80s interior design

nuclear power stations are shit idea !

I feel sad for the Ukraine people they have had it very bad over the years I can’t imagine been uprooted over night

Wonder who got the #4 AZ-5 button...

Oh my God!! I can taste the metal by only seeing this 🤢🥴☢️

if you look really carefully you can almost see the radiation distorting the footage. wow that's some scary stuff . so scary to think that the men in that room suffered so much after the explosion.

Thank you Eric for this great video . Thanks for uploading. You even had a nice and competent guide. Hope, he's doing well as the rest of the staff. Just two remarks: The door shown at 04:34 leads to Control Room of Unit #2, which belongs to "stage nr. 1" of the plant. Unit #3 and #4 belong to stage nr. 2. This is the reason for the break in the golden corridor at that point, on which the guide refered to. The "SKALA" room at 05:52 was not connected to Unit #1 & #2, they had a separate room at stage nr. 1 building.

Amazing thanks for sharing.
