See troubling discoveries inside Chernobyl after Russians fled

CNN's Fred Pleitgen visits the abandoned Russian military positions in Chernobyl where Russian soldiers went into the Red Forest, the most nuclear contaminated area on the planet, and brought back radioactive dust.
Ukrainians shocked by 'crazy' scene at Chernobyl after Russian pullout reveals radioactive contamination
Chernobyl, Ukraine (CNN)The sudden ear-piercing beep of a radiation meter fills the room as a Ukrainian soldier walks in. This is where Russian soldiers were living at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and radiation levels are now higher than normal.
There's no visible presence of the source of the radioactive material in the room, but Ukrainian officials say it's coming from small particles and dust that the soldiers brought into the building.
"They went to the Red Forest and brought radioactive material back with them on their shoes," soldier Ihor Ugolkov explains. "Other places are fine, but radiation increased here, because they were living here."
CNN was given exclusive access to the power plant for the first time since it came back into Ukrainian control.
Officials at the plant explain the levels inside the room used by Russian soldiers are only slightly above what the World Nuclear Association describes as naturally occurring radiation. One-time contact would not be dangerous but continuous exposure would pose a health hazard.
"They went everywhere, and they also took some radioactive dust on them [when they left]," Ugolkov adds.
It's an example of what Ukrainian officials say was the lax and careless behavior of Russian soldiers while they were in control of the site of the 1986 nuclear disaster. The area around Chernobyl, namely the Red Forest, is still the most nuclear contaminated area on the planet, with most of the radioactive particles present on the soil.

While a more recent drone survey still showed 1,2mSv/h at the top soil in that region.

Patients with acute radiation syndrome (ARS) classically go through four clinical phases: prodrome, latency, manifest illness, and either recovery or death. During the prodromal phase, they usually present with nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and even loss of consciousness at higher doses. With neurological symptoms like dizziness, headache, or decreased level of consciousness, occurring within minutes to a few hours, with an absence of vomiting, and is almost always fatal, even with aggressive intensive care. Most people who die from radiation sickness are killed by infections or internal bleeding. Dying from ARS is a terrible way to die. The Chernobyl reactor disaster generated a multitude of radioactive isotopes of different elements from the reactor that had spread across the ground. Low level radioactive contamination can be blocked by clothing and even the human skin. Inhaling or ingesting the radioactive contamination will acutely affect the internal organs which has no protection against the low level radiation emitted by the contamination and will damage organs and internal lining and cause bleeding.

What do you expect, they caused the original disaster in the first place! And they rushed in men to manually clean up the debris from the roof without waiting for a few months for the most radioactive isotopes in the debris to decay! 😰 MADNESS! No sense of radioactive safety at all.

[@Julia-nl3gq]

Just a couple things. It wasn't Russia, it was the Soviet Union, at the same...and, also, waiting a few months would do nothing....waiting hundreds of years will do nothing. It's so so so radioactive, to this day.

[@CaptainSaveHoe]

@@Julia-nl3gq sorry but it was crucial to wait a few months for the most radioactive isotopes to have time to mostly decay. If you had to clean up a substance that contained a highly radioactive isotope with half life of say 6 hours, that means every 6 hours, that isotope halves in abundance, negative exponentially! Ok? So you have to WAIT, it's only logical! 🤷 Isotopes that have a half life of hours would not have had enough time to decay when the men were sent in to clean up, it was complete madness to send men in to clean a place in a rush when there was no hurry, the damage was already done!! 😡

The bad/sad thing about this is the Ukrainians kidnapped by the barbarians will probably disappear into the black hole known as Russia if they survive contamination from their kidnappers. On the bright side, some barbarians will die quickly from radiation sickness. Some slowly over time. It will not be pretty. Good! It will not only be them, but all those who unknowingly come in contact with the vehicles and personnel involved. Of course looted prizes may be sent home to spread more contamination...double good! What's worse (or best depending on one's perspective) is the military will never admit it.

Dosimeter: 0.57 roentgen Russian Soldiers: "Not great, not horrifying."

[@alad123]

The MKS-05 “Terra” dosimeter according to an user manual shows radiation in microsieverts per hour = mkZv/h On the video it shows 0.57 mkZv/h. When you fly in an airplane, you can get a dose of radiation 20-40 mkZv (40 times more!). This video shows that the radiation level at the Tchernobyl nuclear power plant is close to that on the streets of New York!

[@OliverFlinn]

@@alad123 the food ration was 11.3 micro severts.. thats no joke.

[@alad123]

@@OliverFlinn yes, it’s not a normal level. But let's look at the scientific data and data from the video. So we use a scientific approach based on facts, not speculation like “they will all die! it’s 11 μSv/h!” Micro/mk/μ means 1/1,000,000. milli/m means 1/1000 1mSv/h=1000 mkSv/h = 1000 μSv/h The device at the video (2:26 and 3:31) shows measurement in mkSv/h. So we have inside the building 0.57mkSv/h=0.57 μSv/h And 11 μSv/h in “dirty” soil outside. But 11 μSv/h should not lead to any problems, since according to “radiation hazard scale” from CDC you will have only some potential problems under Category 2 “increased risk of cancer later in life, symptoms may take decades to appear” if exposure was less then 20mSv (=20.000μSv). To get a Category 3 exposure we need 20.000/11/24 =75 days of exposure. But it should be a constant 24/7 exposure, like if you are lying in the contaminated soil without movement and assume that all radiation enters the body directly, bypassing all means of protection, including clothing. And even after that a maximum you can get is: “Category 3 means that radiation doses are becoming high enough where we may expect increased risk of cancer in the years ahead for people who are exposed. Leukemia and thyroid cancers can appear in as few as 5 years after exposure. Other types of cancer can take decades to develop. Studies have shown that radiation exposure can increase the risk of people developing cancer. This increased risk of cancer is typically a fraction of one percent. The lifetime risk of cancer for the population due to natural causes is approximately 40%. The increase in risk of cancer from radiation depends on the amount (or dose) of radiation, and it becomes vanishingly small and near zero at low doses of radiation.”
