- This video is a simple and brief overview of the final eight minutes before, and twenty-five or so minutes after, the explosion of the fourth reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on April 26th, 1986. This is a very basic version of what I have planned for the future, so we'll see where we are next year. :)
With thanks to the following for creating the locations seen in this video:
Control Room 4 - Hydroproject.

Just realized that you timed the premiere to be synchronized with 0123 April 26th in Ukraine local time, well done.
He's the 🐐 for a reason ❤
@@dispersions8729Baa.
The sound effects really bring home how chaotic things must have been.
Reactor Output : 1,480,000 MW
"Lord have mercy Im bout to burst "
When you haven't done the deed in 3 months, and your load shoots out with such pressure, leaving a hole in the ceiling and, if timed correctly, some particular fluid on your neighbors face!
Reactor output: mistakes were made.
@@bmstylee They think that the Reactor reached about 18-times the total electrical output of this planet.
I'm stunned by how quickly things went from "let's begin the test" to "scram the reactor". It all took place in the span of under a minute!
You have already outdone yourself with the 1st 3 videos that described everything that took place right up to the last second. Now this! If I'm around for the 40th anniversary of the explosion, I can't see how you can top what you are doing today! Great work!
It’s been more than thirty years
The _38th_ anniversary of the explosion was quite literally an hour or so ago as I write this
Sorry guys. I hit the 3 instead of the 4. So sue me!
@@dez1989Very well.
Watching it in realtime, it's surprising how quickly everyone reacted. A lot of documentaries make it seem much slower than it was, perhaps accidentally because they're trying to get so much information to the viewer at each step. It's interesting to compare it to how one's own workplace responds to a crisis.
Eating lucky charms to this

You’re absolutely smashing it with these videos, thanks man
Watching this back in slow speed as well as full speed really gives you a sense of how thin the line between reactor manager and reactor passenger is
You win the internet today.
At a certain point, you're just along for the ride as things get exotic
@TheOobo my memory is a bit uncertain. 3 mile island was precipitated in a second or 2. And then the lack of cooling water just escalated it.
this is an amazing resource. great work. it's so different from narrations, to live it in real time paints a very different picture.
It's not much, but I do want to show my appreciation for the tremendous work you've put into all of this. And you putting the live video out on the correct Ukrainian time didn't go unnoticed here either.
Thank you so so much! It might not seem like much to you, but your support and comment means the world to me! :D
@@thatchernobylguy2915
You're most welcome 😄
It would be great to see a narrated version of this video. The timeline could be sped up and slowed down to fit the narration
And the title of the video could be changed to “The Chernobyl Explosion in Unreal Time”
”Chernobyl disaster in real time but not in real time”
Since how much effort this person put into this video, i think at 40th anniversary he would ho back in time and record it
Otherwise i think this was very good and educational video
windows movie maker, paint, notepad - whole effort
First responders arrived so quickly would be interesting to know what the radition dose would be at that specific time after the explosion. Also kinda impressive that unit to 3 surived such powerful blast so well.
This was really well done, and the timing was perfect.
At last we have arrived 1:23:45 Explosion
(insert explosion noise here)
It's the new Titanic Real Time fosheezy
Bro that‘s genius
I didn't even saw it and i like it
Dude, love your channel and the way your
research is done. Very detailed, objective and torough. No misinformation, like the mainstream media. Looks like you are also intrigued by this Soviet technogical wonder called the RBMK!
full of crap
for a very early version, it already looks incredible. it give soff the vibe associated with the videos showing the timeline of the Black Mesa Incident and 9/11 attacks. really looking forward to the end product
Incredible work
Amazing job you did!
That dyatlov and many other still survived while beeing outside survived is still a bit of a miracle. While in the beam of the reactor there was a radiation of like 30000 sv/h there was only like 5 sv/h outside the beam.
Awesome!
So Seconds from Disaster(often mocked for being overdramatic) got the technical side of things the most correct, with the post explosion human element's best coverage being Zero Hour and Surviving Disaster
Ew, no. Those documentaries are all entertaining garbage.
@@MinSredMash Ok, replace most correct and best with least bad and most okayest
@@kalkuttadrop6371 I cannot endorse any documentaries that purport to explain the accident. The documentary might be the single most unreliable means of transmitting information that humanity has ever devised. But with regards to Chernobyl it is hard even to recommend any books without caveats and reservations.
@MinSredMash okay but the concept of a documentary is a long form entry level dive into a subject. You're right, a lot of documentaries get things wrong, I am a historian that worked in a tank museum and I had to unteach what a lot of WWII armor documentaries got wrong. BUT, they got people in the door and asking questions, which is good. In that context, this channel and quite a few other are certainly very high level for the average media consumer, and hopefully they will come here and find better answers than they got from the shows/documentaries. But we can all do our part to gently and without being pugnacious and confrontational, correct the narrative
all unit 4 needs is flex tape and we can have it back in 2 days.
12 inch wide flex tape used on both inside and outside of reactor
@@ryanpenrod1859 Does 12 inch long count too? Because I have something like that growing on my body, if you pay the surgeon you can keep it, cука blyaaaaaat.
Pretty much what Scherbina said when he showed up IRL
@@MinSredMash
Didn't he say something along the line of that they wanted the Unit back up and running before the end of the year?
@@swokatsamsiyu3590 Something of that nature, yes. Evidently he hadn't seen any good photographs yet...
Nice effort, but needs refinement: 10+ rows text lasts for 1 second, being impossible to read, while 2 rows text last for minutes. I know you want to follow the events that happened so fast at the AZ-5 moment, but you just need to slow-mo those critical seconds. Some typos also. Have these little glitches fixed and you got a tremendous work here. 👍
That video is awesome! Hats off to you good sir.
Also very nice to time the premiere to 01:23 26th of April Ukrainian time.
I can't wait!!!!!!
How was there another large explosion??25:00 I have never heard of it. Is there some details about it?
At 01:23:04 steam valve was closed, terminating steam supply to turbine TG-8 to start rundown test. At the same time AZ-5 MUFT signal supposed to be activated to shutdown reactor by disengaging of couplings on servomotors of 187 control rods, moving from the top, dropping them down almost instantly by gravity. On this case explosion would never occur. AZ-5 signal didn't provide such action, rods were moving slowly with speed of 0.4 m/s while button was holding. Before test schematics were altered, prohibiting automatic shutdown. Also, on May 1986, during planned maintenance of reactor #4, action of AZ-5 signal supposed to be changed. In addition to activating of 187 rods moving from the top, 24 shorten rods should move from the bottom simultaneously. It would neutralize " introducing of positive effect of reactivity by graphite water displacers on the end of top rods on the move down from top positions". This action was already done in atomic stations with RBMK-1000 reactors in Leningrad, Smolensk and Kursk and even on reactor #3 of Chernobyl, in accordance with recommendations developed after incident in 1983 on Ignalinsk atomic power station with 2 RBMK-1500.
May I ask what you do for work, CG? Are you employed in the nuclear, chemistry or physics field? Engineer maybe?
hey, where did you get the unit 3 turbine alarm sound from?!?!?!
Very good. Could I suggest you talk through it next time. It was hard to read while the video was going on. I do enjoy listening to your voice.🥰
That was the original plan, but fell through due to time restraints. D:
what happened to the sound?
Perfect!
Is there any audio or it's muted
thank you
At first i thought it was a Minecraft map review due to the thumbnail lol
No wait, it ACTUALLY IS
Uhm, so the feedwater flow reduction starting at 01:21:50 kind of didn't make this video...
Where did you get the 1480000mw figure from?
Chornobyl: Accident Revisited. A scientific paper by Alexander Sich :)
If Khodemchuk were Samuel Jackson, he would have said "mother" before the concrete crashed down on him.
So as far as I understand, the AZ-5 button wasn't pressed in order to counter the sudden power surge as it was depicted in that terrible show, it was pressing AZ-5 that caused it? Was scramming the reactor at one point a part of the experiment they ran, a necessary step they had to undertake? How come Akimov ordered Toptunov to shut down the reactor twice, did he think Toptunov failed to understand him the first time?
Scramming the reactor was supposed to be part of the test, right when the turbine started running down. But evidently there was a miscommunication and they only remembered to shut down 36 seconds later.
Right, the show blatantly misrepresents the rise in power.
This is really interesting to understand because many documentaries use AZ-5 as non test part!
were the alarms that came in unit 4 control room in the video like the real alarms in real life?
Yes.
Another based video. Ty
So, unlike the HBO series implies, the 200 MW power level didn't render the test useless. As long as there was enough steam being generated to get the turbines up to speed it doesn't matter whether the reactor is at 200 or 700 MW. The test had nothing to do with the reactor core itself, it had to do with how much electricity the turbines could produce as they were slowing down, and if that electricity was enough to keep the circulation pumps running until the backup generators came up to speed.
question, what sound are you using for the alarms?
RBMK alarms :)
Cool 3D model of Unit 3 control room. What program did you use? Is it made in Roblox?
he stole it
@@NionXenion-gh7rf No he did not wtf?
The control room is under my ownership and it was made by me and my developers and i gave him full access for the recording
And yes the game was made in roblox, you can check the link in the description
@@kecskern6996 what a humiliation to use gaming content for video
@@NionXenion-gh7rf okay lol?
No sound?
there are so many names I do not know who they are or what they do, and I cant check them because there is no full name.
33:01 What is this noise?
Why is there no sound
Quick as death.
The truth about Chernobyl: HOW THE 4th UNIT OF CHERNOBYL NPP WAS BLOWN UP (channel-KS).
17:20 I see what you did there!
lies comrade it was CIA da!
When?
Now.
No sound??
@@eugeniaamariei8626
No voice? Feels creepy.
Dyatlov picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. Remember, every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, the debt is paid.
lol
Go to the real life Chernobyl and make a detailed video of all the rooms where you explain where you are.
