      theres no moments of silence then, its has been dramatist by the west, tell me what year did reactor 1-2 and 3 shut down, how many years AFTER the explosion and how many of the 138 workers that worked after the explosion are alive, I know the answers, they will shock you as the event was NOT as bad as it was made out to be, also how many people have been in the so called radioactive zone from before till this day?

      Nah, I could go to sleep with that sound. I like radiation. I don’t fear it (well, unless it goes into the >2mSv range!), unlike most. Yes, the Cold War brought to light how dangerous it can be, but there isn’t really much to worry about normally. Not unless a new Cold War sparks off again.

      If you can hear clicks, that is the sound of individual particles colliding with the detector. This means you can probably hang around.
      The scary sound is when when the clicks are so frequent, the detector emits a constant scream. If you hear that, run.

      That was both Toptunov and Ignatenko. But large radiation fields (into roentgen/second or sieverts/second) can cause a metallic taste (due to radiolysis, the breaking down of tissue due to excessive radiation). But fields that large (1Sv/h is guaranteed to start radiation sickness, 10Sv/h is guaranteed death WITH treatment) are basically death forcefields.

      Read Adam Higginbotham’s “Midnight In Chernobyl”. Compare the series to the book and there ARE differences. And actually relatively big ones. One of which is that Scherbina didn’t stay for as long as the series depicts it. Legasov did, but Scherbina didn’t. The first commission was replaced by another, and Scherbina was replaced by Ivan Silayev. It was he also who gave a speech saying that Sredmash would build the Sarcophagus (or sarkofag, as the Ukranians and Russians called it).

    You can feel radiation, when it's in high enough quantities. The firefighters who were called to the reactor that morning all later reported having a strong metallic taste in their mouth, and feeling pin pricks all over their face. Unfortunately, I meant _shortly_ later - most of those firefighters were dead within two weeks. When you are exposed to so much radiation that you can _feel_ it, you're pretty much doomed.

      Exposing yourself to higher levels of radiation is increasing the risk, so you can argue it is dangerous.

    This is one of the first videos of Veritasium, if not the first one, that I watched on YT. Still very impressive and amazing. I also know that things have changed there, that sarcophagus is completely finished, and a lot of radioactive sources have been removed from the area (contaminated soil has been excavated if I'm right), so that it's practically save to stay there for a longer time or even live there again.
    Most impresive is how we can see the force of nature and life here. Nature is soo powerful.
    With all that beautiful trees growing everywhere, and at te same time how buildings and stuff made by humans all perish.
    It's the war in the country that currently brings me back here. It all reminds us again of the destruction that humans sadly do to themselves.
    But above all it's nature on the planet that survives. And also humans, but only if they choose to be more peaceful to each other and the planet.
