@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist There is footage of the exposed core self fuelling the person who filmed it was both in a chopper fly-over and in the plant looking at the core...

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist Cherenkov light, the eerie blue glow often associated with nuclear reactors. Cherenkov light is emitted when charged particles travelling through a medium move faster than light-which has been slowed by the same medium. It is similar to the sonic boom that follows an aircraft that is moving faster than the speed of sound. Scientists can use Cherenkov light to detect neutrinos moving through giant tanks of water. My guess it`s cause from the cold damp air and the spray from the water been spayed.....

@@kylereese4822 I don't think it's Cherenkov radiation, it's supposed to be the glow of ionized air, like the one created by lumps of cesium-137

It actually kind of tastes like licking a battery

Wikipedia says that Louis Slotin reported a "sour taste".

@@patnolen8072 Correct, from the demon core. Horrible death

It's just a technical distinction, it's essentially the same thing.

Iodine 131 as well. Iodine vapour has a metallic taste.

Indeed that’s true. Thanks for the comment and support ☢️👩🏽‍🔬

It's important for structures that handle materials that require special fire responses to communicate with local FD. When possible, partnering with FD to have fire drills and train for emergency situations would be ideal.

The argon tanks can still explode. Not based on flammability but because the gas in them expand from the heat till the tank ruptures. I’ve seen argon tanks shoot 100s of yards in a fire. You’re right about not being explosive on its own. Any compressed gas tank can explode as the result of an increase in pressure

one would hope that fireman drill involves at least speaking of metal fires and radiation nowadays. just like it would do for electricity, gasses and flammable liquids. especially if someone tells about it, it should be a warning as for cnpp reaponse, i wonder if firemen were just so innocent to response to plant? it's like responding to gas station, surely nothing can burn in it?

In a confined area, argon tanks are life extinguishers. If argon floods a space as they can aboard ship, and you're in there, you will die immediately.

The series is amazing and terrifying. It's not just that he is dead it's the gruesome nature of the death that awaits him and the others that really is the worst part.

tbh, at this stage, he was probably dead no matter if he picked the chunk up or not

Erh...we're all dead! But "Sooner or Later" ?

i was a kid when it happened, bunch of young soldiers were literaly sacrifised and many knew they will die... there was not enough equipement, later footages, after a year or so were elesed, you could see dogs and pets in houses mumified, coz everything had to be left behind, people who lived there were lied that they will be back home soon... a lot of lies came in soviet union and in my country, coz it also was communistis and they tried to cover it from public and when that was not possibel anymore, they made a show what to do, after the clouds passed us multiple times. air disance between ukraine and us is very short actually, only 2-3 countries between us were back then...

Yeah that's very much the sort of thing where if you pick it up then realise what it is you then go find a way to cut things short as painlessly as available, certainly just about anything you could find would be less then when the radiation damage presents itself.

Actually the plant did have it's own fire unit, the 2nd Paramilitary Fire Brigade. This is the group of firefighters first on the scene led by Lt Pravik. The 6th Paramilitary Fire Brigade was the Pripyat fire brigade that included Vasily Ignatenko. It wasn't so much they weren't trained, but at the time they were being informed it was just a hydrogen explosion in a water tank. The fires they were extinguishing they thought were just regular fires including the roof that was all tar. Even when men began getting dizzy and collapsing the rest thought it was just from the fumes of the burning tar. No one at the time had any concept of the actual damage to the reactor, aside from the few that were evacuated after getting sick from being exposed to it, until actual photos and readings came back after daybreak. Some firefighters after the event claimed they knew what was going on, and most experts dismiss it as conjecture for whatever reasons as others said they knew nothing about the actual destruction till long after cleanup began

@@panzerwolf494 Thanks for the additional information. What I probably should have said is that the whole purpose of the town was to service the power plant, and all fire brigades in the area would have been expected to participate in a major emergency. And even though they may have thought the fire was less severe that it really was, I am sure that some fire fighters were smart enough to figure out this was more than a roof fire once they arrived. There should still have been more training and preparedness. For example, fire brigades that are assigned to put out fires at nuclear power stations should have their own radiation detection equipment, and if they had, they would have figured out very quickly that this was more than a roof fire.

@@ScottMStolz Yeah, they did have their own radiation equipment, plant employees even made note of it to eventually try and borrow a dosimeter from the fire department. When they used it and it went off the scale the guys in charge (Dyatlov, Fomin, and Bryukhanov) dismissed it as a faulty meter because a RBMK can not explode, ever, according to all the info and training everyone has had. No one understood how bad it was, even the experts showing up to lead the investigation till pictures came in showing the burning "eye" in the debris of the reactor hall in the early morning after sunup

@@panzerwolf494 This whole episode happened because the government withheld information about the flaws in the reactor design. Without that information, everyone on scene was NOT properly trained.

part of a problem back then, not just in soviet union, but even in my country ( yugoslavia) was a regime, people who worked in certain fields and areas were there by nepotism ( mostly political) and often it happened that person in charge of something is not the right person to be in that position. training and education was also questionabel, regimes worked on a prinicipal of fear, if something serious happened people on the sight of scene tried to solve it by themseleves often and cover it all up, often from fear what will happen to them. tthaz just how certain regimes worked back then. and often if something happened first panic would set in, then people would try to solve it, then notify the supervisor ( who usualy were asleep and pissed off if waken up) etc etc... thaz just how it went back then. even in my country they tried to hide from public what happened, until it become impossibel, records often were altered, sealed, people would dissapier etc., so all of these workers were in panic of concquences and majority of their deicision was made coz of fear, they tried to do it on their own, when it failed they went one step further, until it came to point the goverment had to be infomerd.. and bunch of workers and people all that time were affraid what will happened to them and their families coz of the accidents they fail to prevent, good exampel how things worked back then in such regimes is a nuclear incidents, when one russian man prevent nuclear war, russians saw on their radars that bunch of nukes incoming, response and order was to send a contra attack, one man refused and said it is maybe a mistake, an errror in system, thanks to him catastrophe was prevent. his reward? being questioned, accued of disobeying orders etc etc etc, at the end they did praise him, he never recived any kind of reward or anything, coz the supervisors would have to be punished for not mainting the system.. he was relocated and sent to early retirement. thaz how things worked, so that poore people were thinking the same, when it is over they will be the one to blame, sent to sybir or who knows where, so the supervisors can stay clean.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov ....

its called fluorescence because of the high amounts of radiation that interact with the air. It is not actually cherenkov radiation like some people would call it because you would not actually be able to see Cherenkov radiation in the air with a naked eye, in water you can!

I thought I saw this too. Eye witnesses said they saw a blue column of light over the power station and said it was actually beautiful to see.

Iirc I've read this statement too. It was bit tough to read some of the civilian statements that were like "it was incredibly beautiful looking", but many/most realized that something is severely wrong, but didn't left cause people just where there and nobody said anything about severity of events. Tragic..

it still sux kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idmUf6d32cjIonU.html

I loved this video. How does this compare to the Fukushima accident?

@@Boodieman72 Even though they were both classified as the highest level 7 event in the INES scale, no one died from Fukushima radiation even though three of the reactors melted down at Fukushima. The main reason for this is Fukushima had containment vessels designed for such an eventuality, but Chernobyl did not.

You are on the right lines when it comes to Iodine, it's use in the body is for the production of hormones in the Thyroid. As such the Thyroid gland selectively absorbs Iodine in the body and will thus bioaccumulate Iodine that is absorbed by the body in what is a very small area significantly increasing the risk of complications in the event the Iodine isotopes are unstable. Providing excess doses of stable Iodine can saturate the Thyroid gland and prevent it from taking up any additional radioactive Iodine. This makes it a useful prophylactic treatment if administered before or soon after exposure to potentially radioactive Iodine as it can reduce the risk of developing Thyroid dysfunction or cancer later.

As much as I get it, you should understand back in those days you need to understand how stuff were kept in the soviet union and how crappy they were like the officials so Elina you will learn more about the USSR and that communists officials are a piece of crap

Blue light is Cherenkov Radiation.

The universe science says was not always there, it had a beginning point, the big bang, meaning it was begun/initiated in other words created, thus there should be a creator, there must be a God. Also, check this out, if you like, this is from Artificial intelligence, chat Gpt: Prophecies in Major World Religious Books Referring to Prophet Mohammed: 1. The Bible - Deuteronomy 18:18-19, John 14:16, John 16:7-14, Isaiah 42:1-13 2. The Hindu Scriptures - Bhavishya Purana, Atharvaveda Book 20 Hymn 127-129 3. The Buddhist Scriptures - Cakkavatti-Sihanada Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya III:61, Digha Nikaya III:76-77 4. The Zoroastrian Scriptures - Zand-i Vohuman Yasht, Farvardin Yasht, Dadestan-i Denig & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking to protect non-believers or polytheists, there are several that emphasize the importance of treating all people with respect and kindness, regardless of their religious beliefs. One such verse is found in Surah Al-Mumtahanah (60:8), which states: "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." Also In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful (If any of the polytheists seek protection from you, grant him protection) بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم(إن استجارك أحد من المشركين فأجره) Another verse in Surah Al-Anfal (8:61) encourages Muslims to make peace with their enemies, even if they are non-believers or polytheists: "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it also and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing." & Regarding the verses in the Quran asking for justice and kindness, there are many such verses throughout the holy book. One example is found in Surah An-Nahl (16:90), which states: "Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded." & In terms of prophecies about Prophet Mohammed in major world religions, there are a few examples that some scholars have pointed to. One such example is found in the Bible's Book of Deuteronomy (18:18), which states: "I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him." Some Muslims interpret this verse as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. Because the Arabs are the brethren's of Israelites, The Arabs are descendants from Ishmael or Ismail the brother of Isaac the father of Israelites, and because the verse didn't say from amongst them or from their descendants, it said from their brethren's. Similarly, some scholars point to a passage in the Bhavishya Purana, an ancient Hindu text, as a prophecy about Prophet Mohammed. The passage describes a "holy man" who will come from Arabia and spread a new religion, and some argue that this refers to Mohammed and the spread of Islam.. Also search scientific miracles in the quran, harun yahya its nice, One God for all of us he created us all and can revive us again, God initiated everything, & he repeat/redo things too, & thats clear, we see many cycles of different things in life, also in summer for example the desert land becomes like empty and is filled with only sand, and when rain falls in abundance in spring or winter, after that small flowers & wild plants grow again, also, we see how humans and animals grow and how their body is formed from the elements which were in the sand which plants feed on which they eat, and after they die they go to the sand and their atoms/elements are taken by plants which humans & animals eat and their bodies grow from those atoms & elements found in the sand which came from previous humans & animals which died before, so God can bring us again after we die even if our atoms became in the sand he can make us from the same atoms we were made of or from other atoms if he want or make us be in a spirit form or like ghosts, any ways, everything in this life is recycled, learn if you want about the different cycles in life in nature, the food cycle or food chain, the water cycle, even the gas cycle that makes the air the oxygen &carbon dioxide &nitrogen cycles, even the energy is like recycled but only changes from form to another form. Anyways,, God created this life but it's only a temporary sample/an example of a coming everlasting one which could be either in heaven paradise or in hell. If we try to be good humans in life, and try to obey God and his messengers-including the final messenger for all humanity the prophet Mohammed- and those whom rightly represent them, for example imam Ali & ahlulbayt the family/good descendants of the prophet mohammed, then we will all go to heaven/paradise, if not then we will go to hell fire and burn in it forever. keep shining sunshine &spread the light.

The shape an size I agree. I’m not sure about the gushing flames from it. But then again non of us has actually seen a reactor core burning or we wouldn’t be here. So all we can do is guesstimate how it would look like 👩🏽‍🔬☢️

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist yeah, the rolling flames is just some Hollywood magic but the structure and bent rods surrounding the core are pretty much perfect.

@@YourFriendlyNuclearPhysicist Maybe it was the graphite burning. You would need a heck of an air flow & extremely hot core graphite temperatures for that, wouldn't you? Graphite does not burn that easily.

@@wellesmorgado4797 Graphite doesn’t burn, it needs to be converted from a solid to a plasma too react with oxygen that depends on Particle size and heat, the core would be breaking down into dust then plasma it's the plasma that creates the flame effect. The flames in the video though are hydrocarbon.

The core was as hot as the surface of the sun at that point, so the graphite as well as the uranium which it is pyrophoric, were burning. the blue glow was reported by people who were interviewed. It is the cherenkov radiation.

I was 3 years old and i remember they told us nothing about the incident except to avoid eating green vegetables for a few month. No iodine tablet or liquid was distributed. I lived next to Ukraine in Hungary.

sorry. Would be awesome to make a video reacting the the Chernobyl lost tapes on HBO max its awesome so much footage. take care and love your channel.

That would be my guess. If you see a nuclear reactor running, there is video available on the web, I don’t recommend trying to watch directly, the ionising radiation hits the water causing the blue glow. Very pretty, perversely. It can happen in air as well, just not as efficiently. During the Manhattan project it was observed that when they brought two sub-critical masses of uranium close to each other a pale blue glow with blue-lightening criss-crossing it would appear.

this series is very very wrong from scientific point of view kzfaq.info/get/bejne/idmUf6d32cjIonU.html

Hmm, he only talks about the "thermal explosion" so I wouldn't convert it to the hole series. But I know that the series isn't 100% accurate, eg in reality the (I think) 3rd helicopter crashed and not the first like shown in the show or the images of the burnwounds the fireman got are made for astetics and not realism. But all in all I still think the show gave a pretty accurate overview around the happenings at Chernobyl. Btw. 2 things I would critizise about your video. First if I understood it correctly he said a thermal explosion wouldn't happen because the material around the tanks would have melted and therefore no pressure would be generated by the boiling water. I mean fair point but he said that that's his theory. So if u have to make a decision do you completely ground it one the truth or falseness of one theory? If you do that's a very high risk management. Second he sadly totally ignored any winds and fallouts in his simulations about the nuclear explosions. And the fallout is the main reason why arias become terminated and uninhabitable after a these.

@@ketergraph9037 yeah he is not only one... but still also he separated into many videos.. here is about fallout: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5uUiZZ62rS7pok.html in chernobil happened the worst scenario.. there is no worse thing than that as they portray in series to scare ppl with great nuclear like explosions... it was steam explosion like the one you can get with faulty pressure cooker at home. it's petrol industry propaganda against nuclear power...

Actually if we use nuclear fuel our planet will become less radioactive overall...

@@Zigg33 I think we got off the wrong foot. I am a supporter for nuclear power, i think it is a great thing. Maybe i am to light-hearted with the series but i dont see it as a series against nuclear power but a series about an historical event mainly. I even got the feeling that the communist system was mainly criticized and got the blame for the accident and not the nuclear-technology itself. But i could be wrong tho, dk how most people interpreted it. I just know that i still enjoyed it

I'm not physicist or anything, but considering mass of turbine and that even it got serious "oomph" to it's power before failure, I suppose it would be possible that failed pipes here and there could've also contributed to blowing steam/air into vicinity of core until the turbine stopped. Pure speculation on my behalf.

"(W)hat would it take to make the air do that?" Either a fundamental change in the laws of physics - Cherenkov radiation comes from (usually) beta particles moving faster than light in the local dielectric medium. This happens easily in water, where light only moves at around 2/3 the speed of light, but in air it requires electrons with greater energies than those produced by radioactivity. Or cosmic rays.

Indeed. Thanks for the comment and support ☢️👩🏽‍🔬

That is explained away at one point in the show...it is Cherenkov radiation, they say...though it is apparently more pronounced than it should be. Its brightness is based solely on the descriptions of eyewitnesses...which I hope we all know is usually the most unreliable of evidence one can ever gather.✌

@@iKvetch558 That was what I thought but honestly Cherenkov radiation should be more pronounced and I am not sure it would display as a shaft of light.

@@JetDom767 I think that you are right...that it would not really look like that, but the producers of the series used the testimonies of people who were there...at least that is how they defend a lot of the things they get wrong. They present something that is much much more that it really would have been, and then when challenged they say that they just went by what the eyewitnesses say. They assume that the people that they say that to do not know how faulty eyewitness testimony is. The show is really good, but as for accuracy it really only gets about a 70%. ✌💯

The main difference is Fukushima happened due to a Tsunami and an earthquake, while Chernobyl due to human incompetence and made worse cause the USSR was being secretive about what happened for many days only after Sweden detected a high level of radiation coming from the South East and then USA concentrating observation from the satelites on the area that forced the USSR government to admit they had a serious accident on a nuclear power plant.

Sadly yes. If only people were better informed and instructed to do the right thing. Timing was crucial ☢️

Hmm yeah it’s a quite recent event even though it might feel like it happened very long ago ☢️👩🏽‍🔬
