How intact it is on the level of circuit boards we cant say at the moment, but assuming zone-internal regulations, it likely is totally intact. When we eill get there again, we'll have more information.

2:11 I have a story to share. I grew up in a small city in New England, a region in the USA that has a bunch of textile mills from the 19th century. My ancestors came down in around 1860-1920 from French Canada to go from being farmers to working in the mills. The mills operated until they began to close between the 1970s and the final ones closed in 2000s. The mills that my ancestors worked in were made to manufacture textiles like bedsheets. After they closed they became completely abandoned and decayed. Now, they're being redeveloped into apartments, offices, restaurants, hospitals, stores, you name it. I had the immense privelidge to roam around one of these mills. They have a very distinct musky smell coming from the old wood and brick construction. The floors are coated in a thin layer of solid oil from the looms and textile machinery. They went from manufacturing bedsheets to manufacturing stories. The histories of these beautiful buildings are incredible

I am 47 years old and so much fascinating about everything Chernobyl. We felt the 1986 event prety intensive here in Greece. Complex period, complex politics and high cover up also here, despite that hasimoto disease and cancers have literally rised ×4 in specific areas like central Pindos area and Greek Macedonia. And cover up still continues. So I am following up this, every youtube video, every documentary, every movie. I deeply feel that I must congratulate you about what you are offering to the history of Chernobyl. Many are written, stories are told, mostly official but you are doing something different. You take what seems to be small parts of that monsterous plant and deeply analyze them. These parts that were critical for the daily life for that type of reactors. And would have been lost wothout you. So I mostly consider you as industrial technological archeologists, not of anything unimportant, but of the worst technological and political nightmare that earth has ever suffered. You take the functional pieces of this huge monster, torn them into pieces and preserve history. So deeply thank you about this. For what I am worried about is that you are doing well, preserving the tech behind this, tech that might soon be lost forever. But out there are also people who have an untold story about the post and after maths of the disaster. And these people might be very old now. And their story has to be told and preserved!!! Perhaps this is something that you can do also. Because I see that you love it!!! You love the history that Chernobyl produces. And we count on that !!! Not only us, the chernobyl-maniacs but I believe the rest of humanity ... Keep up the excellent work and save for all of us as much as you can !!!!

Thanks for sharing, it's interesting to see what's left behind. Walking through some of those old corridors reminds me of when I was helping decommission employer's old buildings after they moved out. Lots of old, unmaintained corridors. Dark, shadowy and creepy, lights long since blown or removed. Old junk spilling out of store rooms, after someone obviously rummaged through it for anything useful. Old control rooms and machine rooms, partially stripped of equipment. And the eerie silence of a place that was once teeming with activity, but long since abandoned.

Yes, I want to learn and know more! Even because these documentaries aren't just sensationalist-style documentaries, rather a well done job and an objetive way to preserve a dramatic and important part of the XX century history (a part that many of my age still well remember nowadays). I'm italian and I still lived in Italy when all happened. I was 17 year old those days. Of course, like the rest of the world, we discovered about the disaster few days later, when the fallout came to West Europe. We thought: what will happen now? We were in the middle of the cold war, we lived with the constant fear of a nuclear war, so a nuclear disaster seemed to us much sinister (the word "nuclear" still has a sinister sound to me). Go ahead, all you're doing a great job! Cheers from Brazil!

What surprises me is that Chernobyl had begun to accept visitors again after the Russians left. When Russian forces captured and took control of Chernobyl, I wondered what they wanted with a defunct nuclear power plant and I wondered what ultimately made them leave. I suspected it was the contaminated soil they started digging in and it the radiation made them sick. As to why they captured and occupied Chernobyl, that answer became a little more clear to me when Russian forces later captured and occupied the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. It seems to me they wanted to use both nuclear plants as a base for their forces because any kind of retaliatory attack would risk a nuclear catastrophe.

@ChernobylFamily Жыл бұрын
Well, they do not accept visitors, except humanitarian or media only. This we shot prior the events... but the Zone have changed, it gives a feeling which might be the same back in 1986 uncertainty. Well, the staff of the NPP says, that the most insane thing was that many of that... people even did not understand where they arr and knew very little about the disaster itself. Their motives? We'd agree with you very much. Having a place no one will shoot to. That was a very hard month out there. A very hard month.

Love this kind of stuff (a small amount of radiation reached us here in Denmark back then), as well as the retro computer stuff. Had wanted to visit the area years ago, but nothing came of it. I'm well-versed in western computers of the time, my first being a Commodore 64 back in the 80s. Decades later, I made a russian friend and he told me of clones of the Spectrum that he grew up with. Apparently there were also clones of the early Commodore and/or Apple machines (they used MOS6502/6510 cpu) called Agat. Would love to see some videos of those clones.

Well, it is such an area, that is very dynamic, and when the opportunity will come, do not miss it - it degrades, and degrades fast. As for clones, might be. Never dealt neither with spectrums, nor with Agats, but that might be interesting to try!

Always happy to see more material on the plant itself. Especially since I attempted to model it as a map in Garry's Mod. I wanted to do this, because I wanted to be able to explore the interior space. There were other Chernobyl maps based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, but they all took place outside,with maybe a token room or 2 inside. I felt I wanted to see inside, and to know where the control room was from the reactor hall, and from the turbine hall, etc. Ultimately, I envisioned it in 3 episodes being pre-accident,immediately after accident, and modern but pre-NSC. It really gave me a sense of the enormity of the complex as I developed more and more of the map. And ultimately that is what halted progress on the map. I eventually hit the limits of the game's engine and could not add any more detail, without removing something. I ended up with a rough estimate of the turbine hall, the deaerator hall, control room 3, pump rooms of reactor 3 and hallway, reactor hall3 with equipment room and reloading machine. and some other details. I built around 3 since I had the videos, and a couple of lousy blueprints, I could source from. I figured once I'd detailed 3, it would be a matter of copying and mirroring it to make 4, and then adjusting for any differences, but I hit the limits before getting that far. A more experienced map maker for the Half Life 2 engine probably could've optimized the map better and make it run better, but aside from a couple of tutorial maps learning to draw basic shapes, this was my first map. Aside from a few shortcomings, I'm still pleased that I was able to get so far, modelling a place I've never been to, using only a handful of vids, pics, and blueprints, using software I've never used before. But now, from a comment in the video, I realaize that I need to eliminate the golden panels in the deaerator hallway, since it's before the accident, and the gold panels happen afterward. If you ever play it, feel free to let me know what I got wrong, as I'm sure there's plenty.

I know what you mean about the corridor where the memorial is. I’ve seen documentaries, photos and the various dramatic reconstructions of the place, and it’s very strange that those corridors were once full of people doing their job, then people trying to contain a massive incident. And some parts were so badly contaminated the only thing they could do was wall them off, but they’re still there. I guess we’ve created a place on Earth that we can’t bury and forget about, it’s on the surface and a thousand years from now it’ll still be here, just as dangerous.

Thank you for you comment! Unfortunately, the camera gets blurry and grainy exclusively and only because it is VERY dark there, so we needed to make exposition to max just to make visible at least something on video. To make that effect you mentioned, radiation should exceed (in general, but not always) around 50 mSv/h, while there is around 8...10 μSv/h. At main circulation pumps the level in some places is significantly higher (a side-effect of technological process in that hall), but still no visible effects.

Very good video. Before war I had plan to visit ChNPP. Pls post more about IT stuff and ChNPP. As amateur radio operator I remember DUGA - i have some were recording of it. It was called pesky Russian Woodpecker. It''s HF over the horizon radar, operated between 7 to 19 Mhz but it polluted almost all HF band in north countries. I remember that for abut 3 months in time I used it at warning about aurora ( at 3 harmonic freq ). In Poland it was strong ( if remember correctly it was 10 MegaWats RF power out to super big curtain array with several dB gain ). Glory for Ukraina. Best regards from Poland. Keep strong and post videos. Vy! 73.

Yes, I have thought of places of history and they give strange feeling. If I ever visit some site (Twin Towers Memorial in NY, Auschwitz, Pearl Harbor, Chernobyl, etc) I'd say: "THIS is the place. THIS". Then respect and concentration would come. It's something about those historical places of tragedy.

We will surely make it as soon we'll be able to have a tech visit to the power plant. Right now they are busy with more important things than having a few known nerds out there...) but we will make it, and it will be a good one.

Yes, if we speak about the Chernobyl Zone, it is (was) possible based on a special license. However, the power plant has own officers of the department of international cooperation that provide delegations/visitors with guiding and information.

Isn't it still dangerous to go back into these structures now? What's the radiation risk?

It depends. During the Chernobyl disaster the internal contamination was caused mostly by ventilation system which continued operating for a few more hours; it took nearly a year to decontaminate everything. So generally, after those works levels are normal or acceptable by the standards; inside Unit IV premises there are very extreme levels which makes most of it off limits or available only for trained people for a very short time. However, the diversity is so high, that there are also places there where people work all day normally.

Generally reused... but well, the room has been altered much, it is actively used for certain purposes, it is magic that control panels remained at all.
