I was born a OCA2 Albino with a disformed optic nerve. There are no albinos in my family tree, so it's not likely that it's purely inherited. Doctors said it was most likely a mutation due to the radiation. I attended a school for the blind and my peers also born in '86 made up the largest class up until then.

Our reactor had 2 safety barriers built in already and Chernobyl only had one, now we have three.

[@ctbram0627]

Not RMBK. The reactor type of Chernobyl was - RBMK (Reactor Bolshoy Moshchnosty Kalnalny -> High Power Channel Reactor) It was a particularly horrible design. Its main design flaw was that it imployed Graphite follower rods below the Boron control rods. The followers were roughly 2m shorter than the Boron control rods so that when the Boron rods were pulled fully from the core the Graphite followers would be fully in the core with about 1m of water above and below them. This void above and below is what caused the disaster. To explain why the followers were there is that the Russians used unrefined Uranium which is a mix of U235 and U238. U238 is a neutron absorber so even with the control rods fully retracted without the followers you'd have a column of water in each channel within the core. The water is also a neutron absorber so the combination of the water and the U238 would prevent the fission reaction. So to help initiate, and accelerate the fission reaction they added the Graphite followers. Now as the control rods are raised out of the core the water in each channel is displaced by the Graphite follower rods. Graphite is a neutron moderator which mean it slows but does not absorb the neutrons. As the neutrons are slowed and bounced around they have a high probability of striking a U235 atom and accelerating the fission reaction. The problem at Chernobyl that fateful morning was with nearly ALL the boron control rods pulled from the core the reaction began to accelerate and eventually burned off all the Xenon that was choking the reactor from being run at half power for ten plus hours that day. The fission reaction than started accelerating exponentially and the operators attempted an emergency shutdown of the reactor by pressing the a-zed-5 button. Activating this button causes all the Boron control rods to be quickly re-inserted into the core of the reactor. But instead of quickly stopping the fission reaction, in this case, it acted as a detonator! Imagine the starting state. The Boron rods are full out of the core. The graphite followers are fully in the core with a 1m gap of water above and below them. The neutron flux is in the shape of a bell curve with the peak at the mid-level of the Graphite follower rods with the fission reaction accelerating exponentially. As the Boron rods are lowered into the reactor core, the bottom tips of the Graphite followers moved into the 1m void of water below them. Remember the purpose of the Graphite followers is to accelerate the fission reaction. So now with the reactor already running out of control, the tips of Graphite follower rods move into the water column below them causing a neutron spike at the bottom of the reactor core. This instantly vaporizes every remaining molecule of water in the core and causes a high-pressure steam explosion at the bottom of the core. Which damages the rod channels so that the control rods cannot be lowered any further. Now there is no water in the core, the Graphite rods are now locked permanently almost fully in the core. The steam explosion also blows the top cover of the reactor off. Then air rushes in and mixes with the Hydrogen and Oxygen and superheated nuclear fuel and Graphite and causes a secondary explosion that blows a hole in the roof, shooting flames hundreds of feet above the reactor building and spews several tons of the cores Graphite and nuclear fuel all around the building. Modification after the disaster included higher enrichment of the Uranium fuel and limiting the number of rods that can be pulled from the reactor core and requiring the reactor to be fully shut down if it falls below a given power level and then restarted.

[@rustyshackelford4613]

I have no idea what you said but it must be true.

[@Godnchannel]

That was very interesting to read, but I don't understand one thing, you and everywhere else I read about graphite rods, but in series I only see graphite casing, why is that?

[@ctbram0627]

@@Godnchannel In the series they simplified the details. They said the control rods had "graphite tips". In reality, those tips are only 2m shorter than the control rods themself. They are connected to the rods above them by a steel rod such that when the control rods are pulled fully out of the reactor those graphite rods get pulled all the into the center of the core channel with a meter of water above and below them. You can visualize the neutron flux in the core as a bell curve with the peak at the center of those graphite rods. When the operator hit the z-5 button the ends of the graphite rods were pushed down into the 1m water column below them and the neutron flux spiked in that lower region instantly vaporizing all the water, which caused a steam pressure explosion at the base of the reactor core. Which set off a chain reaction of events which ended in the catastrophic destruction of the entire reactor.

I hadn't heard of HBO's series on Chernobyl but I remember hearing of the disaster when it actually occurred. It's good to be reminded to look over the event now 33 years later and reflect on how it came about, what happened and what can be learnt from it (I had no idea it was so long ago!). Back in 1986 we only had a couple of newspapers and television and radio reports to inform us. Information dribbled in slowly. There was no way we could see information passed around readily. Outside the country's domain, we could only rely on what our reporters told us. And those reporters were, most likely, being fed lies by those in charge anyway. We knew it was a very bad situation, but we didn't know that their own government and so-called scientists handled the situation so poorly at the start. I didn't realise this was a town that was less than a decade old. I'd like to learn more about what happened to all these people after they left their homes. I had no idea that there was such a threat to the rest of Europe. There's so much more to learn about this disaster. There are so many more people to thank, posthumously probably, for their contribution to preventing further disaster. Thank you OSSA for this 3-part informative and well-presented documentary.

Another unknown fact worth mentioning, the sarcophagus recently built is in fact sinking due to subsidence on site, it will not last 100 years as planned. No one knows what's happening underground, materials could still be sinking further into the ground and nearer the water table, if that happens there is still a chance of a hydrogen explosion. I chatted with a manager who was overseeing work by the liquidators. He told me everyone was evacuated from Pripyat during the clean up period. When everyone was gone, fleets of lorises arrived and took everyone's personal effects from flats etc, it was suspected it was all sold off. He proposed a sarcophagus at the time, submitted a design and was advised the authorities would put millions into the project, the millions were released but the money disappeared. The whole subject of Chernobyl has fascinated me since April 1986... Have visited the scene many times and toured around Ukraine talking to people affected. They were frightening times then, even now the population are very suspicious of officials and politicians due to this moment in time.

Even if you cause the maximum calculated deaths caused by nuclear disasters (eg 100k people from Chernobyl alone), the counts would still pale in compartment with fossil fuels reactors, because that darn trash although not radioactive is toxic and is way more. Nuclear is the cleanest form of energy production and people should be supporting the building of reactors and the research on how to make them safer...

[@dmdm528]

how about natural forms of energy...radiations is horrifying...the invisible death that lasts hundreds thousands of time...this planet does not belong to us , it was entrusted to us ...we need to cherish it, not play with fire and hope we don't get burned...and we will never know the exact number of the victims Chernobyl had...

[@pog519]

@@dmdm528 Radiation is actually one of the most natural things out there. let me explain - like everything (literary everything) emits radiation and we're not really using radiation to produce energy, we're using fission and byproducts of fission are some fast decaying materials like cesium-137 and Iodine-131. Nuclear energy is also the most environment friendly as well, not only because it actually cleaner than solar and hydro farms, but also doesn't result in the killing of birds (like the wind turbines do) or the killing of fish (like the hydro farms do). There is a misconception going around about Nuclear power because people always connect it to nuclear weapons.... anyhow what we are trying to achieve by finding better ways of nuclear fission or achieving positive efficiency nuclear fusion or other clear ways of producing energy is not to protect the planet, but to protect humanity. There have been at least 10 mass extinction events that happened in the past and from all the planet recovered, it will recover after the humans are gone too, but we ain't gonna be around to see it (pun intended). Also I am not sure where are you coming from with that (I assume it's some religious bs), but the planet was never entrusted to humans, it's just that humans sized it. Furthermore since organisms evolved to expect background radiation (and they also radiate - including humans ~few thousand particles per day), the lack of such is actually harmful to life. Also you should be aware that there is literary "nothing" in most of space and since heat can't travel to nothing, it's the sun's radiation that heats the surface of our planet, and some of the heat generated within the earth is also due to radioactive materials (in addition to gravitational, magnetic and other forces). So that makes radiation essential to live and one of the most natural things out there. Now a huge amount of radiation will cause burns, but they are not really all that different from normal fire or ice burns, the problem comes that because of the gamma radiation being literally pure energy, it can penetrate almost everything and when gamma rays reach the inside of a body it can kill a lot of cells (acute radiation poisoning) or destroy the integrity of a DNA molecule, which increases the chance of mutation, or in other words - cancer.

[@antonlencses8622]

Solar produces toxic waste which can kill silently kill people. If hydrelectric dams break they kill people. Wind turbines kill a lot of people. It doesnt matter how ,,natural'' something is, it WILL kill someone. Funy thing is that hydro, wind and solar all kill about as much or more than nuclear.

[@terrypetersen2970]

I saw a documentary couple years back of the wildlife in Chernobyl. And surprisingly very few animals tested had any tumors or other problems. One theory is that is because the animals life span is so much shorter than humans that their bodies don't absorb as much radiation over time than humans would over a longer period. Again it's only a theory.

The book never mentioned any bridge, “of death” or otherwise. Thank you for keeping things real.

[@OSSAchannel]

[@LWM-Official-Music-Channel]

The movie is based in Lithuania but it gave really realistic vibes to what really happened in Chernobyl. My mom told me that she knew a man who lived in their neighborhood was there when the accident happened in Ukraine and he survived it, but he died after that in a prison because he got beaten up by officers in Ukraine later on. My mom lived in estonia back then and so did the man but the man was there on a vacation I guess, I may be wrong about it but anyways, it is sad too and I am also sorry for people on youtube who lost their grandparents/parents/relatives/friends or whoever died there, many of them were heroes who saved and helped others while risking their own lives or were doing their jobs or living normal life, they all deserve great respect. I may not be religious, but Their souls are resting in a better place and they are now looking after you, amen. I wish people a good day, stay safe and never forget your loved ones and even not your grandparents whom died before you. P.S. My grandfather, Grandmother and Uncle died before I born and I am the 3rd child in our family. I born 14 years and 2 weeks later after my brother born, my sister is 17 years older than me and they had a chance to have fun with grandparents, I wished I could see my grandparents atleast once in my life, but sadly never happened. My mom and siblings have told me stories what they had and things they did, I have also visited the house twice and last time it was a disaster... the people who live in it have ruined the house, destroyed my mom's old furniture and so did they to my grandfather's, grandmother's and uncle's. The house was literally let down, it smelled after the smoke, burned places. I remember the sight last time in 2019 my sister started crying after she saw the place and so did my mom... I just can't believe how and 40+ year old woman and her 18 year old daughter could just ruin that house, the memories and everything that belonged to my mom and her family... She didn't have any other relatives or nobody that could've got all the stuff and mother couldn't either so she left them in the house and hoped that woman would take good care of them... but sadly no. Yes I know it is a sad story, but not so sad as yours, because you lost heroes, you lost people, a lot of people by one greedy mistake that Chernobyl nuclear workers did. I have been spoken

I grew up in Oak Ridge, TN where they enriched the uranium for the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. After they stopped enriching uranium the way they were at K-25 and closed the plant. They used to have people that would hunt wild animals that had gone into the abandoned buildings. Some of the animals would become contaminated and could possibly spread radioactive dust and dirt. They have totally destroyed the buildings and cleaned the area up. I doubt anything will be built in that area.

Good work by Jeremy and OSSA team in attempting to deconstruct and present fact vs fiction. I watched the HBO series a while ago and it was simultaneously horrifying and revolting at the same time. Horrifying because thousands of innocent people lost their lives, wittingly and unwittingly and revolting due to the self-centered attitude of cowardly officials (especially the plant director guy and his aides). Some scenes were genuinely chilling, while others rather difficult to watch. Craig Mazin and his team deserve a lot of credit for highlighting stories of everyday citizens whose lives were forever changed by this momentous disaster. While the world owes a debt of gratitude to those incredibly courageous liquidators, divers, and first responders, it would be inappropriate to not mention late Prof. Valery Legasov's blistering tapes that spoke of fatal flaws and bureaucratic corruption within the Soviet Union. Although he paid a terrible price for speaking up, it is thanks to him that world powers recognized the dangers within Soviet nuclear reactor program and forced authorities to make necessary modifications.

[@Johnny.5.Is.Alive.]

333DFG it doesn’t over take Chernobyl and for a number of reasons, while Fukushima’s death toll was higher Chernobyl was the first, therefore from then on people learnt things no one knew prior. None of the first responders survived, the immediate death toll for Chernobyl is 31 but as the government took so long to notify people, many more people were exposed to bad levels of radiation. So since many more people including the liquidators and the ‘bio-robots’ have died of types of cancer, thyroid being to most common. Now you add over 30 years of time which has allowed the effects of radiation to surface and the death toll is much higher. Fukushima hasn’t had that amount of time.

[@danadurnfordkevinblanchdebunk]
