Actually even that very noisy last reading, peaking at 1.7 milli Sieverts, is safe enough for brief exposure. If you were to pick that fragment up and put it in your pocket, you would get quite ill from it....after about 2 weeks. The real danger is if it somehow gets into your body. Breathed, swallowed, splinter, whatever. Or of course if you decided to build your house right on top of it.

First one (with a big wheel) is an army trench-diggging machine МДК-2 (MDK-2), second and third (with claws) are legendary army engineering / barrage removing machines ИМР (EMR), which were designed for nuclear war, and were the only machines able to operate in high density ionising fields near destroyed reactor. Most of soviet army engineering machines were deployed in Chernobyl in 86, and all of them are left there due to contamination.

There were only two or three like the one at the end with the leaded glass cupola. This was of little use though as the operator of these machines was forced to stand out in the open in order to be able to see what he was doing. These machines were used especially in the demolishing and burying of the most contaminated houses in the zone that due to radioactive dust and accumulation due to rain were some of the most contaminated things in the zone.

High results from the engine compartment is because of the radioactive dust and smoke that got through the filters and into engine and collected there. It's also open to the elements so the rain washes contaminants in there. The very high readings from the mud accumulated on the top of the skirts is the washings of the whole turret by rain and accumulating them in that spot.

The "engineering and barricade removing vehicle" with the leaded glass cupola at the end I believe is seen in the documentary "3238". There were very few with the leaded glass cupola but the most unfortunate thing is the operators didn't even use them and stood out completely exposed in order to see what they were doing. These vehicles were especially used for demolishing the most contaminated houses of the nearby villages. Due to the radioactive dust and rain the roofs and the drainage system of these houses were some of the most contaminated things in the zone. A ditch was usually dug, sometimes using these machines, and the buildings were buried under where they stood. The same was also done with some wooded or grassy areas and also a collection of the most contaminated cars and motorcycles of the evacuated towns people and villagers. More of the footage of this in action can be seen on a Ukrainian KZbin channel with English subtitles in small clips narrated by the man who took the footage who is still alive but do to his exposure in the zone (of over 100 roegens I believe) he is on disability. He speaks of his body secreting a type of mucus endlessly in the years after. I believe he also states that the man who operated this machine died soon not long after.

Those tanks were likely used as most Military vehicles during the Cold War were equipped with Nuclear Biological Chemical overpressure systems to protect the crews in case of an attack. And because these tanks had things like dozer blades and other implements they could be used to 'clean up' area's heavily contaminated with fallout and even used to help build the sarcophagus. I recall seeing video footage of conventional Soviet built bulldozers, cranes, and dump trucks with hastily assembled protective shielding to protect drivers and operators of that equipment.
@bionerd236 жыл бұрын
yeah, they were built in order to operate in areas that have been struck by a nuclear bomb. hence they are equipped with air filters, lead-glass windows, and massive shielding. they reduce a deadly dose of radiation to a bearable (survivable) dose of radiation for the personnel inside. too bad not everybody could do their liquidation work inside such tank... the tanks in operation were mainly ИМР-2 (IMR-2) as far as i know. as from what i've read in documents in russian language, an outside dose rate of 4 Sv/h (as found around the reactor after the accident; survivable symptomatic radiation sickness results after 20 minutes, while one hour provides a likely fatal dose without intensive medical care) resulted in a mere dose of 0.15 Sv/h for the personnel inside the tank, meaning one full hour of work in the area would result only in stochastic damage (no acute radiation sickness, only stocastically increased risk to POTENTIALLY (!) suffer from cancer later in life), whereas to induce symptomatic but almost certainly NON-FATAL radiation sickness, the tank would have to stay in the area for a full 10 hour shift. a german civil defense worker (mentioning it because of the strict laws we have) would receive his maximum permissible lifetime dose in 2.5 hours while operating in the tank to liquidate the accident, whereas he'd receive his maximum permissible dose outside within 6 minutes (meaning he couldn't even get to the job before having to turn back, lol). these tanks were seriously AMAZING, but sadly, they could not be fully decontaminated after they had done their duty (they were supposed to be possible to decontaminate, but sadly, this did not work out). as somebody else pointed out in the comments, the "farming equipment" is an earth mover / scraper, those were probably not radiation-proof by the looks of it...

You may wash some part of it, but you cannot clean it out completly. q2 - it's contaminated. you cannot clean metal. if you will start melting it, rad.particles will escape into the air probably and contaminate everything around. q3 - there was a tons of maradeurs after exclusion zone was established. There basically was an empthy town full of goods that people left. You can only imagine what an idiot would dismantle contaminated vehicles, but hey, we are slavs. If it worth money - no risk will stop you.

One is also slightly modified and repainted exposed at the border to the exclusion zone with some other vehicles, that were used to clean the place. But there was also one other yellow colored robot which was brought there from Germany, called the "Joker" and was build by Dornier. This robot is featured in an other video of bionerd23, staying around on a junkyard. This "Joker" was the last hope of the liquidators at this time to avoid humans to do the work. It broke down immediately anyways and so they had to send human people on the roof top, also known as "bio-robots". Those very brave men received very high doses of radiation, some of them died, some of them are still alive. All of them suffering on health problems, disable or other illness due to high radiation levels until this day, while the ukrainian gouvernment isn't giving a damn shit about them. Never forget what all these brave men did, to save many others all around their country and also around Europe.

What source says that *all* the liquidators are having health problems? I have heard that their health falls in the limits of normal population statistics. Except for some people that worked there for much to long, like some camera men or officers of the work units, all others were limited to work less than a minute on top of the roof, essentially only clearing away a couple shovels full of material before retreating back down again. It was a calculated but rather moderate risk and the main reason that several 100k liquidators were used. There are only very few sites that will give you health damage in less than a minute if you also wear heavy shielding and masks, as they did. Still, I would be very interested in learning true figures, though, as neither government sources, nor panic-monger statements can be believed anyway....

Apparently from one source who was intimately involved in the operation (the man who raised the flag on the vent stack to signify the "win" over radiation) says that the robot the "Joker" from East Germany was actually designed with potential radiation accidents in mind. Only that the designers (due allegedly to the belief that a serious radiation environment would be impossible in the great soviet state) under estimated the max radiation exposure by a factor of 10. So when the robot got stuck on the 4000 roegens per hour or whatever it was block, it was done. Lol.

So there are parts of reactor fuel scattered about? Or is it mostly on the equipment used during the incident?

Last time she was heard from she said she doesn’t regret anything and doesn’t fear radiation since she has an understanding of it. That was like 2 years ago though so maybe she’s dead or has two heads now.

It's a zone anomaly - there really wasn't anyone there at all.

what is the use of this video when you are exposing youself to high amount of radiation..which will affect your body in the long run.
