Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Tour, 01 Dec 2021

Tour of Reactor 3 and 4 at the Chernobyl Nulear Power Plant.

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

This is fascinating, especially growing up in the 80s with Russia constantly in the news and there being so little public knowledge of what it was like. Now we get to see it in HD.

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.

The Soviets were very advanced in terms of theoretical nuclear physics, and they built graphite reactors that were 3x larger than anything built in the west. But in a country wheee there is zero incentive to weld up a set of stairs straight, it’s no wonder people in the west freaked when they got a view of Soviet state of the art power plant design. (No containment) Unit #4 was 2 years old when it blew up.

Thanks, it was very interesting to see these (1960' and 1970's technology), this design was very inexpensive to build and operate.

Absolutely amazing video! My father worked in the nuclear power industry for over 35 years for Combustion Engineering, than ABB and than Westinghouse when they bought them out. I’ve always been fascinated by how under utilized nuclear power is in the United States as most people automatically equate a nuclear power plant to a worst case scenario when in all reality any NRC certified plant is extremely safe with multiple redundant systems and failsafes, my fathers job was creating these systems and testing them. That being said the RBMK reactor was a horrible design with many flaws and the way the Soviets almost were able to almost cover up the disaster blew me away. When you look at the official death toll it’s horrible compared to the reality, take all of the liquidators into account. Can you imagine shoveling extremely radioactive material off a roof? If it wasn’t for some truly selfless and brave scientists and civilians the aftermath could have been exponentially worse.

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

[@ericgattenby6857]

It was a security access control point. They did not allow us to photograph any of them.

[@stoneybulldog861]

Wow pure insanity. Love those brave people risking there lives, I think that place may cause cancer. That's one hell of a way to boil water, Einstein

[@ericgattenby6857]

An expensive tea kettle, for sure.

Chernobyl still looks pretty ok or at least the area you were exploring, the plant looked like it was in good condition for being destroyed for 35-36 years.

[@MeDicen_Rocha]

You gotta consider that they had to keep the other three reactors running until 2000

[@ericgattenby6857]

It seems to be showing its age well, on the inside of the buildings. The physical structure of the old "sarcophagus" is crumbling in places due to the urgent construction to contain it.

Will the site ever be cleared and returned to grassland

[@ericgattenby6857]

About 15-20 thousand years. 😔

[@lunagal]

No, it’ll likely take the rest of the 100 yrs (life of the confinement dome) to close everything down, clean it all up and even consider tearing it all down. If it’s not all done by 2117, they’ll have to build another Trillion$$$ dome to cover it again just to try to keep the radiation inside.

what I have never heard tell of is how much spent fuel was in the pool next to the reactor when it exploded
