Hinter TschernobylReisen steckt eine Agentur, welche seit bereits 2008 Touren in die Zone organisiert und somit zu den erfahrensten Anbietern überhaupt gehört.
Bei Fragen, kontaktiere mich gerne.
Im Keller des Krankenhauses Nr. 126 in Prypjat befindet sich noch die original Feuerwehrkleidung des Feuerwehrleute, welche damals als erstes zum Einsatz gerufen wurden.
Dadurch ist die Kleidung extrem stark kontaminiert.
Auch heute noch beträgt die Strahlung teilweise bis zu 100.000 fach über den der normalen Hintergrundstrahlung.

The iodine would’ve decade long ago. Most of this radiation is coming from cesium

[@pokenaturewithastick]

Over 30 years later, those boots at 2.50 are still throwing out a thousandth of a potentially fatal dose (.004 Sv p/h vs 50% lethal dose of 4 Sv, bearing in mind this would have to be a 'whole body dose' which you're not going to get from the sole of a boot). However, many of the major isotopes released by the accident have half-lifes measured in hours and days (like iodine 131 and 133, cerium 141 and 144, neptunium 239) and these would have decayed to almost nothing by the time this video was taken. So what this buzzbox is measuring is mostly the long-lived isotopes (like plutonium 238 - 242). My point is that I hate to think how radioactive the clothing was on the morning after the accident if it's still this hot in 2017.

[@PallaviSingh-ot2mf]

The plastic doesn't decompose like other substances. Also the place is away from sunlight and probably air movements. There are probably no insects due to high radiation. So the plastic will stay fresh. Although it might have been discarded by someone who visited the place before him. In any case that bag will look like that for a very long time.

[@LostElsen]

@@PallaviSingh-ot2mf This bag is from "Eco Market" (ironic) which was established at 2009, only ten years ago. I agree, since there's no wind, sun, or life to disturb it, it will look the same for a long time, but after time plastic bags settle down becoming flat as their tiny weight pushes the air from under them. Also the building is slowly deteriorating and collapsing, covering everything in dust, but the bag is surprisingly clean. I'd say it's no more than three years old.

[@sungodman001]

After 30 years, those clothes are still with so high level radiation. Still wonder how high level radiation inside that nuclear reactor no.4

[@Balnazzardi]

Needless to say inside the ruined reactor the levels are still so high that you would even with protective clothing get deadly exposure in matter of minutes, depending on the location.....in some parts of reactor 4 and the basement you could possibly be even around 15-30 minutes, but in some places like right next to "Elephants foot" and other molten radioactive fuel mixed with sand and concrete you would get deadly amount of radiation in matter of less than 5 minutes these days....right after and days/weeks following the the accident we were talking about much less of time for deadly exposure ofc. But again all of this depends entirely on the location....radiation levels can vary so signficantly and suddenly in there, just like they would in the surronding area where the fallout would land. Thats the really scary part that just 1-2 meters and the difference between radiation levels could jump from "mildy dangerous" to absolutely lethal.

[@b3j8]

There were people who went into the actual reactor no.4 and the surrounding structure not too many yrs following the accident! Most are still w/us.

[@SearinoxNavras]

Directly in the room with the ruined reactor vessel after the explosion when the firemen were there, it was around 500 Sv/h and you would get a fatal dose within a minute. I don't know how much lower it was outside where they were putting out the fire but it couldn't have been less than somewhere in the lower tens of sieverts an hour.

In terms of the dangers this guy faced (if my understanding is correct of the numbers involved): A lethal dose is around 4-5 Sievert, which is 4000-5000 Millisievert. He clocked one of the boots in at about 618 Millisievert, so far from lethal. Most of the areas shown clocked in at single Millisievert or Nanosievert levels, which is probably fairly safe. Still, not great, not terrible, though.

@fyec A 4 Sievert dose gives you a 50-50 chance of dying of radiation poisoning in a month. Sit in a 500-600 mSv hotspot(5:47) for a couple hours and you'll likely halve your life expectancy,even if you receive immediate medical aid.Sit in it for 5-6 hours and chances are you'll be dead by the end of the month...ingest some of the radioactive dust and you can cut it down to a couple weeks or less. Edit : nevermind,at 5:47 it was reading microSv (thousandth of a thousandth part of a Sievert).You'd still be increasing your chances of getting cancer,but it wouldn't be nowhere near as deadly as I previously stated.
