@@hyerrogaming2780 thank you

[@Crowbait]

@@hyerrogaming2780 No. 1000mS/h (1S/h) is an extremely high and very dangerous reading, but it is not a dose. A dose would require you to know how long the exposure lasted. So if he stayed an hour in that spot, he'd get a dose of 1S (1S/h*1h), which is high, but not dangerous. It's actually the lifetime limit for NASA astronauts. If you got that dose in such a short time as an hour, you have a high chance of getting sick, but not die in the short term. You might however develop leukemia in the long run. A dose of 4-5S would kill around every second human exposed within 30 days and somewhere between 10-20S is the point where instant death occurs. The exact value is not known, because calculating dosages is surprisingly complicated and tricky and also there is not much data on human deaths to acute radiation. Besides that, with radiation it is extremely important, which part of your body was exposed. Hands can take a lot more dosage before something life threatening happens than the torso or head. The Elephant's Foot is not nearly as dangerous today. The 1000S figure is correct (actually the estimate was 800-1000 Sieverts), but it is correct in 1987. Even then, it wasn't as deadly as you said. You'd die, yes, but a lethal dose would take around 5 minutes. And even then, that would still not be a dose where you'd die on the spot, you'd get sick and die a month later. If you "wanted" to die right there, you'd had have to spent around 20 minutes next to it, at which point you'd have severe burns already because that thing was HOT. Today, the Elephant's Foot is still quite radioactive, but not as deadly as it used to be. It has been visited repeatedly and routinely by scientists to monitor it and there are a lot hotter radioactive sources on earth, most of which are used to research the effect of radiation on materials in preparation for fusion reactors. The definition of corium is completely correct.

was looking though the comments thinking surely someone is gonna mention his bare hands and face holy shit!, and his hand is like 1cm away from the boots omg.

[@perrywhite2552]

The unit of measurement here is micro sievert/hour which is .01 x millirem. The boots measured ~ 55 micro sievert/hr which converts to 5.5 millirem/an hour. He could wear these boots for 24 hours and only receive 132 millirem exposure. After 1 week of wearing them only 1 rem of exposure. Even wearing the boots for a month he would just receive 4 rem so really the boots while radioactive, do not pose an significant threat to health. It takes a full 50 rem of exposure to notice blood cell changes but even then no nausea or hair loss. Of greater concern is the loose surface contamination (dust and dirt) which may contain Alpha which if inhaled can cause cancer. A cloth or paper "swipe" would have to be taken and then counted to determine what isotope is on the boots.

560 μSv while hardly ideal, shouldn't really have too much of an effect on your health.

I look back to that time with mixed emotions today. I was experiencing some of life's most wonderful days while half a world away, people were dying in some of lifes most horrific ways. Also the pain felt by their families. It's almost unfathomable.

Those boots that registered 2000 millisieverts equal about 200 Roentgen. When they originally came off, the radiation levels were probably around 10000-15000 roentgen as the radiation labeled around the reactor and control room were about that level after the explosion. Basically, those boots still aren't safe to be around. Edit: That Geiger counter is actually reading in Microsieverts per hour, not Millisieverts. So that's actually closer to 0.2 Roentgen per hour, which is the limit per day a person should be exposed to. So, those boots were giving off 4.8 Roentgen per day. That's still more radioactive than is safe.

[@mikaelandersson4733]

Your comment made mine just unnecessary, you are completely right. As a employee at a large NPP I know what "dangerous" and what's not. These are not anywhere near fatal levels but of couse it's also a matter of time. The average person receives about 2 mSv a year though natural sources, x-rays etc. In this video's case, getting radioactive particles inside your body is way worse than receiving the full body irradition. Protecting every place that may cause radioactive materials enter your body is crucial. The radiation level in the areas from the video are probably only life threatening if you move in there. But of course, less is always better.
