[@prakarshgautam5518]

Excessive amount of radiation has a metallic smell and taste.

[@DrYeet2704]

That was both Toptunov and Ignatenko. But large radiation fields (into roentgen/second or sieverts/second) can cause a metallic taste (due to radiolysis, the breaking down of tissue due to excessive radiation). But fields that large (1Sv/h is guaranteed to start radiation sickness, 10Sv/h is guaranteed death WITH treatment) are basically death forcefields.

Watching this video before watching HBO's Chernobyl and watching this after the series, are two very different experiences.

[@DrYeet2704]

Read Adam Higginbotham’s “Midnight In Chernobyl”. Compare the series to the book and there ARE differences. And actually relatively big ones. One of which is that Scherbina didn’t stay for as long as the series depicts it. Legasov did, but Scherbina didn’t. The first commission was replaced by another, and Scherbina was replaced by Ivan Silayev. It was he also who gave a speech saying that Sredmash would build the Sarcophagus (or sarkofag, as the Ukranians and Russians called it).

You can feel radiation, when it's in high enough quantities. The firefighters who were called to the reactor that morning all later reported having a strong metallic taste in their mouth, and feeling pin pricks all over their face. Unfortunately, I meant _shortly_ later - most of those firefighters were dead within two weeks. When you are exposed to so much radiation that you can _feel_ it, you're pretty much doomed.

[@alex-df1il]

[@ricksanchez8882]

You arent yet doomed. With alot of luck you can survive even if you "feel" it. Some of the soliders that were sent on the rooftops of the reactor to clean it off radioactive trash still got away with that metally taste. Fun fact is that that metally taste will mostly never go away

This is one of the first videos of Veritasium, if not the first one, that I watched on YT. Still very impressive and amazing. I also know that things have changed there, that sarcophagus is completely finished, and a lot of radioactive sources have been removed from the area (contaminated soil has been excavated if I'm right), so that it's practically save to stay there for a longer time or even live there again. Most impresive is how we can see the force of nature and life here. Nature is soo powerful. With all that beautiful trees growing everywhere, and at te same time how buildings and stuff made by humans all perish. It's the war in the country that currently brings me back here. It all reminds us again of the destruction that humans sadly do to themselves. But above all it's nature on the planet that survives. And also humans, but only if they choose to be more peaceful to each other and the planet.

[@samade9]

+Brian Schwartz Could have been the nocebo effect?

[@YukiAmeka]

+Sam Adekunle Highly unlikely, since no one knew what to expect at the time, definitely not the soldiers. My father was supposed to be in one of the clean-up teams a few months later (got held back at the last moment for medical reasons), and I remember we were mostly worried about him being away for so long. I think they could have felt the described sensation, since what got sprinkled over the area and carried away with the wind were tiny particles of heavy metals that emitted radiation. It is equally possible that the statements were given long afterwards, when the consequences were already known, and looking back, that's what they thought they felt
