Hi Stikker Fam!!! If you're new to the channel, welcome!!!! We mention it in the video but reactions to Chernobyl will not be in the regular schedule, which is below... we will watch when we have a free moment. We've added it because it's something that's highly recommended and a show we are very interested in watching. Nothing will change with the current schedule moving forward. After we are done with Cobra Kai and Stranger Things we will consider doing 2 episode of Better Call Saul a week. We will visit that idea when we get there. Schedule for the rest of the week: Thursday: Vikings S02 E05 Friday: Stikker Podcast E11 (apple.co/2Di0ThT) Saturday: Vikings S02 E06 Sunday: Cobra Kai S02 E09 Monday: Better Call Saul S01 E05

Hey guys, its great that you react to this show!! :-) I´m from Germany and here everyone knows about chernobyl and what happend, but I´m pretty sure it wasn´t a topic in our school, maybe just 1 hour as an example for radioactivity. (I´m 24 btw) So it wouldn´t surprise me if it wasn´t a topic in your education system. Still should have been, but countrys often depend on nuclear energy or work with nuclear weapons, so they probably try to "contain the spread of misinformation". :-I

The stuff of nightmares. That scene at 8:55, when they're looking at the supposedly impossible exploded core, and it just looks right back at them with that evil rippling white fire, like the eye of Hell, chilled my blood. I was a teenager when this happened, living in the UK (well over 1,000 miles away from Chernobyl) and 10 years later livestock animals were still failing radioactive safety tests because of the fallout that drifted this far. The explosion was in 1986, but the last restrictions on the sales of animals in the UK weren't lifted until 2012. That's 26 years later - almost your entire lifetimes.

That's the worst part. It really happened. You can't go back to your everyday life satisfied with the thought it wasn't real. Those people really lived, and they really died. And the New Safe Containment structure is still there to remind us. And it will have to be rebuilt for hundreds or even thousands of years into the future, until the uranium fission byproducts decayed enough to allow for cleanup. We've basically created a monument to human failure that will be there for dozens of future generations to look at and learn about the people who died there. Probably the only lasting legacy of our generation...

After episode one, my girlfriend was so disturbed by the content that she couldn't sleep. The only way she was able to manage it was to flood herself with information. We started with news broadcasts of the incident itself, which I remember from my childhood, we showed her the technology behind nuclear reactors of different kinds, including the RBMK reactors used at Chernobyl, looked into the physics of the accident in detail, ending with the current situation at Chernobyl and the new sarcophagus. Once she understood the event from all angles, she was able to get a handle on it and process it. I think when we don't have knowledge we fill the gaps with our own estimations and they're often the things that scare us most. Admittingly, the facts of this accident are no less scary, but it allowed her to place the events in the jigsaw of her world and deal with it much better; it might help you as well.

@only good communist are buried in forgotten graves No offence, but this happens when people shield themselves from anything negative. When they run into something darker in media they can't handle it. I remember non gamers classmates seeing something sightly scary in a game trailer and freaking out. Most people don't even watch horror movies. People want sunny weather, heartwarming stories about family and friends, romance, happiness and positivity in their lives. And that's ok, that's human nature. But when they deal with something darker and unusual, they cannot handle it. I always get this from people: "why you listen to metal, why you like dark colors, why you enjoy rainy weather, why you watch such dark movies, why you like such heavy topics in literature, why why why? You should go to parties and next morning remember nothing, you should drive white car and pick up many chicks, you should lie on a sunny beach while drinking cocktails, forget your eastern European melancholy!" Well, I say there is beauty in darkness to that. But it only suits me and few other people. My point is, do not afraid to dive into heavy topics and see heavy things time to time. Because it is part of life and becoming a little bit desensitized is worth it.

As someone in the uk, it was briefly skimmed over when we were studying radiology (the study of radioactive materials and there use) as an example of how it can go wrong but not to the extent that anyone would have known the shear horrors of it all, I only knew a bit more out of my interest in disasters and how we over come them years later, and even then it took this show to clarify just how big of a mess it’s management of it was. This truly needs a bigger spotlight on it in the education system as the Japan meltdown incident proves it can happen again and this event would ensure such ignorance never happens again. As we as uk students learned about the holocaust and the darker side of ww2 in y8 (13 to 14 years old) that would be a good time to bring it in to the education system for us as a sorta Collaborative project between science and history as we can’t really cover it all from only one angle as the existence of the ussr and there attitude had a massive impact on how it was handled.

I don't blame them... I would suppose that Chernobyl isn't as present in the US because it didn't really have an effect on them. Here in Europe it is more present because the radioactive contamination spreaded almost all across the continent and had an effect on people's lives. I still remember that children weren't allowed to be on playgrounds for a while, cattle had to be inside and it wasn't allowed to feed them hay or fresh grass, milk had to be disposed because it was contaminated, for years there were official warnings not to consume mushrooms or game meat and so on... Chernobyl was also one of the catalysts for the anti nuclear power movement which - late but in the end - lead to Germany closing down all its nuclear reactors until 2022.

In my high school history class we actually covered why the core exploded and why people thought it wouldn't: the core itself wasn't what exploded. They'd been pumping water through the core to try cooling it down but the water had been boiling in there, so the pressure from all that steam built up until it was more than the reactor casing could handle.

The science behind the reactor explosion is really fascinating. The officials in charge were right about the science as it was understood at the time. RBMK reactors don't explode. But this one did, and did so for a reason that had everything to do with the fundamental design of the reactor. RBMK reactors do explode, because they're extremely vulnerable to one specific thing going horribly wrong, and that thing had never occurred to anyone before.

I'm an electronics engineer but I spent a decent amount of time wanting to be a nuclear engineer. Fusion was more of my focus but I learned a bit about fission. Yes, an RBMK reactor can explode (since one obviously did). Besides the errors later mentioned such as mismanagement and lack of containment structure, it's a reactor that runs water to the core. So they have to contain either high pressure steam or extremely high pressure liquid water. Where there's these kinds of pressure, any explosion is possible. However, do note that reactor explosions are steam and hydrogen explosions, not nuclear explosions. Nuclear fuel is not highly enriched compared to a nuclear bomb, so it does not naturally reach the critical mass that would cause an explosion. Instead, it needs to be contained within a neutron moderator which slows the neutrons. It may be counter-intuitive, but this increases the reactions and in essence, lowers the "critical mass". That is to say, we have to artificially lower the critical mass to keep the reactor running. The point I'm getting at there is that this is NOT a nuclear bomb. The damage done is because it's a core explosion, so the materials released into the air are highly radioactive, and THAT does the damage. But the steam explosion is the exact reason I'm strongly in favor of molten salt reactors. In molten salt reactors you either use a molten salt fuel or use molten salt for heat transfer. Either way, water isn't running through the core, so there is no core pressure to contain. It can run at atmospheric pressures. IE, no core explosion. A containment structure isn't even necessary. The water-steam conversion for power takes place away from the core, and so only carries the same explosion risk and dangers of any other thermal power plant. Do note that while this series gets a decent amount accurate, it does like to dramatize some things to the point of almost looking like anti-nuclear propaganda. Clearly NOT to dismiss the damage of Chernobyl. - Essentially all the damage done by radiation happens at the time of exposure. It is pretty much a severe sunburn that can go much deeper than the skin and burn the organs. Ultimately what you die of is organ failure. But spontaneous bleeding isn't something that happens. - Radiation poisoning is very much NOT transmissible. It is gone the moment you get rid of your clothes and wash up. Patients are contained not to protect others, but to protect the patient's weakened immune system.
@danielbont2331 Жыл бұрын
radiation poisoning is in fact VERY transmissible, when you are still covered in radioactive contaminants. it is possible, and does sometimes happen, for someone in these situations to become as good as a radioactive source themselves. This is one reason why some people who die from these incidents are buried in specially environment proofed coffins, which are sometimes also sunk in concrete too. The firefighters from Chernobyl being a prime example, as well as some of the victims who were killed by the Goiânia accident.

I am SO excited that you are watching this absolute masterpiece! Without exaggeration, those are the best 5 and a half hours of cinematography and TV I've ever seen. I've never seen such attention to detail, respect to the historical event and people who lived it, the accuracy of time and places, plus the acting, directing, pace, storytelling. Utterly amazing. And couple of FYIs, there is a podcast for every episode with the shows creator. I strongly recommend it to listen to those podcasts because they offer an even larger picture about the event itself, and also about the creative process behind the show. They are eye opening in many ways. Also, the 'music', or better said the sound in this show is at large mixed sound of real nuclear reactor working, and yep, there is something about it that is utterly terrifying. Just to add, the show really is very tough to watch, especially because the events depicted are real events that unfolded in real live, so please be warned and prepared. I do think it is absolutely justified that they showed some pretty tough and disturbing scenes and any less wouldn't really give respect to the people who lived the moments shown on screen. At the end of the day, no matter how hard it is to watch it, we are not living it, only watching it, and with that remembering the heroes who lived through it or died so others could live. Sending love to you both! xx

I LOVED this series. It was amazing. Probably the best thing I've watched in a very long time. They took most scenes verbatim from interviews and films showing what exactly happened. So this is very accurate in conversations and decisions made regarding the explosion and how the workers reacted in scenarios. It was an epic mini series. Please keep watching. It's history and definitely should not be forgotten.

Thank you for reacting to Chernobyl, this is as good as TV gets; I see multiple nominations come awards season. This show is not only horrific (in the best possible way), but totally soul crushing: first episode is by far the easiest episode to watch.

I remember this, i was 21 when this happened. I live in Finland and we were told that radiation levels are wayy higher than normal and something is going on in Soviet Union. Our goverment contacted soviets and asked if they need help or something, they told that theres just a little fire in Chernobyl and everything is under control.

I write from Italy. I was 10 when it's happened. I remember my dogs crying out loud for two days when the radioactive cloud came over us. I remember taht we can?t go out and play on the grass, we can?t drink fresh milk. I remember the salad of my garden getting bigger and bigger and the tomatoes white. It was though. Sincerely...consider you lucky that you never heard of Chernobyl. You were too far away.

I am incredibly thankful for knowing that brave men and women saved the world from this catastrophe. A lot of brave heroes died because of the careless and negligent actions of basically one person. Can't really wrap my head around that this show is reality. It is completely insane.

It's entirely produced & commissioned by Sky UK.

You have to understand, it was still a cold war period and Soviets could NOT show any weakness and government tried to cover it as much as possible, radioactive cloud spread across the Europe and scientists in Sweden discovered a severe level of radiation and then the world knew, 600,000 workers were hired to clean up the reactor they could work only 30 seconds to 1 minute or they would die of radiation

It was fear of the state, no one could say anything against the leadership and they built a culture of "don't ask questions, just do as you're told". That's what happens when you elect leaders who lie, who crave control and power and profit over all else, and they are surrounded by people who deny reality and truth in favor of just telling their superiors what they want to hear. America needs to learn a serious lesson from this show, because right know they're walking right into the same thing. Imagine if something like this happened in the USA today, does anyone really think the ongoing car crash in the White House right now would be able to manage it? Tell the truth? Save lives? I don't, and that should scare everyone.

Man, this episode's first half-hour had me deeply gripped with goosebumps and heart-racing anxiety. To know that this had actually happened makes it all-the-more terrifying and even sad deep down, especially for the firefighters who'd first responded to the scene with no knowledge of the radiation danger. The music score and sound design made it as if I could actually *_feel_* the radiation. I had never known what graphite was before this, but boy do I do now. *O_O*
