- In this video, brace yourselves for some of the most hair-raising cases of radiation exposure! What should you never touch in an abandoned hospital? Why did scientists keep messing with a killer core? Which horrifying nuclear incident in the ocean did the Soviets try to conceal? And most importantly, what does intense radiation really do to the human body?

the guy that stopped chernobyl from going supercritical should be given posthumous awards from most european countries
45-65 percent of the world would say thanks for a take home fentynal drink with a micro serial number in it and the world wouldn't have to do WW3, 4, 5, 6.
The world would double its available resources to a world only full of those that want to be here, about half, and the average poor person would have 2 houses, 2 cars, 2 cows, ice cream, cheese and oil and clean water to last the planet.

Yes never was there so much owed to one man by so many people across Europe 💔
Cept that's Russia.
Dude was a superhero! To actually pick himself up and return back to work!! 😮💪 🤢
European Nazi politicians would rather eat lead than give any credit to Russia nowadays.
The bad part of the radium girls is that while they were exposed and painting those clocks, the people in other parts of the facility wore protection against the exposure, almost like they knew it was bad.🤔
The radium girls did not lick the brushes to keep them from drying. They did it to make the fine point needed to perform the precise and delicate work.
Right? That's what I've always heard. I suppose it's possible that it was a bit of both.
Not saying I think that, just that it might be possible.
Exactly
You are splitting hairs. When it dries, it loses the sharp point. You knew what was meant. 🙄
Some worked in a building near where I worked in Orange, N.J. That's what I heard as well.
In regards to the demon core, Louis Slotin called his crazy screwdriver method "tickling the dragon's tail."
That's what Richard Feynman called it when he was talking about how insane these experiments were.
Enrico Fermi told Slotin straight up that he would be "dead within a year".
Ticking the dragons tail sound like it could be something else altogether.
Basically everyone knew it was a bad idea, including him. According to some reports, his first words after stopping the reaction were, "Well, that does it."
Ummm, no. Fermi applied that moniker as a warning, and it was actually applied to the Godiva experiment, not to critical testing.
Nobody was confused about what was wrong with Hisashi Ouchi. They knew exactly what was wrong with him. They wanted to see how long they could keep him alive. There was no question of his survival: it was beyond question that he had received way more than the lethal dose of radiation. The only remotely humane thing would have been to let him go as quickly as possible. Instead, they kept him alive, in entirely pointless agony, for months, even resuscitating the poor bastard when he managed to die. Truly despicable.
Ouch! Ouchi had to be saved by following the Hippocratic oath of "...not to harm and kill their patient."
Yep but I wonder by the end of 2 weeks was he even really alive. I don't think the person that used to be in that body would be able to consiously think or feel pain ... they are probably already gone by then. The doctors must have treated it like an experiment to use the incident to see how far they could stretch the living tissue and keep them functioning if possible. Japanese and their culture have a different way of looking at things, if you are not born in Japan you would not understand why they do what they do. I believe they will be thinking along the line that the man's life would not have been wasted if they could use information if any to help future patient ... so his sacrifice will not be in vain. Likewise, a japanese victim would gladly suffer for future generation for it's an honorable and heroic thing to do for others. To become selfless is an ideology that the Japanese people hold dearly.
@@hawkenfox I am deeply skeptical of your logic as it relates to the medical aspect. You may be right on the cultural aspect, but given what I expect was tremendous suffering, I don't know if it really matters.
@@hawkenfox He was alive until the last disintegration of DNA that made his body. The primary issue with fatal radiation is it's deleterious effect on building blocks of biological cells. The body goes under a shock when it realizes that the biological cells aren't responding, not just in one organ, but in multiple organs. Cellular regeneration ceases, and the patient's body or the affected organ can't be saved.
@@dharmagirl5889 The human body can only withstand so much pain before it shuts down. If you follow the video, I dont think much of his brain matter would remain after 2 weeks as the radiation would have cause too much damage to the brain cells, dying so quickly that it just wouldn't regenerate ... so basically even if he did recover from it from radiation burns on his body he would still be brain dead so to speak. Have you seen humans who still breaths and have a heart beating but are brain dead, they lie on a bed looking all alive and asleep but technically dead? Or have you seen a old person slip into a very delirious state as their brain no longer regenerate fast enough to keep them alert, old people can have their mind switch off before they pass on.
Hey! You've just highlighted the wrong city in Brazil. The accident was in GOIANIA. You highlighted the city of GOIANA. Similar names but totally different and far far far apart from each other. Goiania is located in the statenof GOIÁS, in the center of Brazil while Goiana is on the state of PERNAMBUCO, on the northeastern coast.
Teve isso, mas eu ri foi do "metal dealer" que botaram no sofá, mó gangster.
They got a few details wrong
One of the worst nuclear disasters in the US took place in the foothills of Simi Valley, CA. They never told the population. As the valley began to grow in the late 1960s and 1970s, tract homes rose up. Entire neighborhoods built up with no idea of what was in the soil and air. Many of us suffered from diseases like leukemia and thyroid cancer.
And people move around and so when someone gets cancer or leukemia or something they have NO idea how.
Asbestos is another one, the W.R. Grace Co Libby Mt vermiculite mine they used to mine vermiculite from for decades they KNEW was contaminated by asbestos and kept it quiet.
Workers went home in their vehicles covered with the dust, wives and kids all exposed along with having their clothes washed along with dad's contaminated work clothes.
The people were allowed to load up as much of the tailings as they wanted for gardening, lawns, walkways, and the local school paved a running track with it.
HALF the people in the town came down with various lung diseases and cancer, company doctors were ordered to tell affected employees that they had a HEART condition and not to mention lungs or asbestos.
When the lawsuits started coming they did the American business way of doing things- filed for bankruptcy protection, reorganized as a "new" company and they are still in business to-day.
There's youtube documentaties on the whole thing, at least one has clips in court from the plant manager's testimony where this sanctimoneous prik sat there and admitted that yup, he and the company KNEW asbestos causes cancer and that yup, they never said a word to the employees.
The contamined vermiculate was used to make Zonolite attic insulation which was sold in paper sacks and shipped all over the world, it was sold in hardware stores to consumers to dump in their attics.
Its said some 80 MILLION attics in the USA still have it in them, and the dust is so insidious it sifts out every little crack and hole, into walls, out of outlets, switches and ceiling lamps, and every time an HVAC guy, electricican does work or the atttic door is opened, the asbestos dust gets into the living areas.
What was the radiation source?
Boy oh boy I love stories of people in the early 1900s fvckin around with radiation and finding out. 100 years later and doctors still prematurely say "Yep, this is good." about some products and procedures. Humanity's greatest enemies its own negligence, arrogance and hubris of a few people.
Think they’ll be saying that about the Covid vaccine down the road?
@@djquinn11naw. thats politicized Q bs
@@poindextertunes: I’m not a conspiracy theorist either, just speculating on how the pandemic is going to be remembered by historians.
Couldn't have said that better 😢
We are our own worst enemy. But there are a few men living today who are even worse as what they do to the environment affects many people. And all they care about is immediate financial gain. Now they are looking for ways to survive what they have done including living in space or on another planet. They don't even care about their future heirs as long as they can get whatever they want while they are alive.
For that Japanese man, plant management needs to have been charged with criminal negligence. At 6 Sieverts, you stand a 50% chance of death in 60 days (in the old system that would of been 600 rem. 2 Severts would be enough to kill almost every one. 100 Sieverts is more than enough to cause nervous system death. At 6 Severts, blood system is severely impaired and unless your healthy and well fed you probably will die. At the next situation, the digestive system is adversely affected and the cells are dying. The final stage that i am used to is nervous system destruction which is 100% fatal. Normally, in the US film badges are carried on people working around radiation to monitor their exposure, and personnel have strict annual exposure limits far below 1 severt (less that 1 rem, in other words less than 1 600ths of Sievert). Excessive exposure gets one banned from working in those areas from months to a year or permanently. By the way remember radiation comes in two main forms particulate (Alpha and Beta most commonly) and penetrating (x-ray, gamma and cosmic). I intentionally left off Neutrons which actually are more similar to the particles, but can penetrate (these cause far more damage since their effect is equivalent to 5 to 10 times that of of gamma. So all radiation isn't equal alpha can be stopped by skin and washed off; however if ingested, inhaled or absorbed through a wound, it again is stronger than gamma rays. Beta. An be stopped by closely woven cloth or even plastic, again like alphabet can enter by other pathways. So, respect radiation, follow rules around it; don't fear it. Radiation is all rou d us in the world, some places more than others. One train station in the US was made of a rock that gives off low levels of radiation and people working in the station actually receive more exposure per year than a nuclear plant worker is allowed; but don't panic, that level is still below what would cause any identifiable amount injury.
There are also study that shows that there are people group living near volcanos and hot spring that are exposed to high level that never impacted the community because the human body can condition itself over long period of time and over generations of children to be more immune to the effects of radiation. So if a person constantly exposed due to them living in close proximity and over many generation may be more immune to radioactive materials.
Nuclear power is the best way we have right now to make clean energy. It just needs to be respected and handled by competent people.
true , unfortunately with this new system most of people are dump and not so many are thinking. nuclear energy in hands of those ignorance is very dangerous. today western people are more stupid then those from soviet union in the past. we are on the stupidity way now.
When it comes to such a dangerous material, "competent people" is an oxymoron.
Civilian use of nuclear energy for electricity isn't worth the risk and it isn't "clean energy". Chernobyl ...Fukushima...Three Mile Island and the other accidents on this video didn't teach you anything. That's where incompetence begins. Nuclear energy is too dangerous.
Unfortunately capitalism weeds out competent people.
Can't competent machines such as robots, and cobots with AGI handle radioactivity?
"Ouchi" is right. Couldn't imagine the pain.
Reminds me of Fauci Ouchi
Nuclear weapons aren't the deadliest weapons ever. They just have the highest energy output of any weapon ever. Bioweapons have the potential to be far, far deadlier than nuclear weapons could ever be, and the fact that you can't see them just makes it much worse..
Vocês localizaram a cidade de Goiânia no lugar errado, ela fica próxima a Brasília.
Wendigoon has a great Doc on this incident, easily the most horrible death ever recorded.
Wendigoon has a great Doctor on this incident?
Documentary
Between him and his two coworkers, only one of them survived (one of the coworkers also died of radiation sickness, but this is lesser known), And he ended up being charged with negligence in this particular situation.
The early 19th century was _crazy_ about radium, absolutely. That glowy stuff looks magical! Too bad it'll tear your cells apart. Some of the clock dial-painting girls reportedly _did_ ask if the radium paint was safe to put in their mouth, and were assured it was. However, by the 90s, a lot more information was available. The doctors caring for Hisashi Ouchi were far from confused or misinformed. They gathered as many experts in radiation poisoning as they could from around the world, and met regularly to discuss his case.
I hadn't heard the story of the K-19 submarine, though, even in researching for a similar video some months ago. Lieutenant Korchilov and his crewmates who went in to fix the reactor are truly heroes. Most of them were very young too. What a horrible tragedy.
It’s insane how comfortable and careless people can be working around dangerous materials.
About Ouchi: Likely he had not received proper training.
@@knutritter461 Or he is just extremely prideful and didn't pay attention. Or ... etc. Many reason why people get into accidents. Usually pride is the main issue, if he is a scientist and prior to his accident a collegue died ... how can the person not be well informed. Someone working beside you died a year go isn't something you just casually forget ... I don't think.
@@hawkenfox He was no scientist... he had been just a casual guy working in that nuclear area.... likely he could not know bc he lacked the training. "Oh.. I just fill those buckets of liquid over there into the other vessel...." Greetings from an M. Sc. of chemistry. 😉
@@knutritter461 Ah I tot he was talking about the guy with the screw driver tickling the dragon's tail ... I think you are talking about the other guy who mix the wrong stuff into a machine.
@@hawkenfox Could be.... but then hawkenfox mixed it up because I stated Ouchi clearly. 😉
Thank you for the informative video
I really wish there was a way to post photos is comments. I was dispatched by Temple University Japan to teach English to receptionists and staff at Tokaimura about 3 years before the accident, and on my last day, was taken for a tour of the place, including the cooling tank for the rods. Obuchi's story is horrific, one reason being that he was indeed being inhumanely treated as a guinea pig ('hatsuka nezumi' in Japanese).
i read this story. it is so sad. his family dont want to end him thus keep him alive with this condition for 80> days
Which story? There are a whole bunch of stories in this video.
@inviktus1983 Hishashi Ouchi. If you want to hear a more in depth story about what happened I'd suggest Wendigoon's video "the most painful death in history"
@@inviktus1983Hisashi Ouchi. the japanese person on picture
You are not entirely wrong, but it seems that you dont know the entire story. Hisashi chose to live like that, but not for himself. He chose the torture he would endure for much longer than anyone should, for his family. It was HIS choice. He recieved the relief of death because his final days wasn't even his. He had suffered several cardiac arrests and ended up having been without air flow to his brain for about 45 minutes which rendered him (what was hoped) a vegetable. The machines that was attached to him had been running, but they could only do so much.
Kazuhiko Maekawa (The primary doctor attending him) was the one who chose to ask Hisashis family to not to try and revive him again if his heart failed. His family agreed. After that when Hiasashis heart failed yet again, he was only given one syringe of epinephrine (Don't know dosage) and his heart still gave out.
Neither the family or the attending doctors was in the wrong here. They did what he wanted. To live for his family. It was HIS choice.
What i found horrifying in this case is the fact that he asked one of the nurses about people having been involved in radiation accidents was more likely to get leukaemia. He had no idea what he was about to go through.
Ancient Aboriginals thousands of years ago told stories of not to go in that land. Had paint on cave walls of people with swollen under arms and grond. Stories told f you do go you will awaken the sleeping Dragon. The land was Uranium rich land. Theses were told to generation to generation. Amazing how the term dragon is always used. They had no idea what the stuff was back in those day.
Sorry guys no source for this information. Was reading up on this a few years ago.
It's true, they called it the sick lands
24:30 - Someone who made the visuals evidently did not listen to the narrator and showed them burning the radioactive things, which ofc you would never do to prevent radioactive dust and smoke from spreading.
Image working in these field and blue flash appears 😢
Alcohol, sign over the titles to home and vehicles to wife. Followed by euthanasia...
The video shows the wrong place for the brazilian accident.
There is indeed a city called Goiania at Pernambuco state but the accident takes place in Goiânia, capital of Goiás state in Brazil.
Radiation does deadly and strange things to the human body
It's only strange when you don't understand the science behind it. People are strange only when you don't understand their culture. Words are only strange when you don't speak that language.
Fiberglass doesn’t stop Gamma or Beta radiation! So the girl was buried the traditional way!
Hey bro, just a quick note, Goiânia isn't a coastal town, but it's located litteray in the center of Brazil.
Literally
1:00 "The doctors had no clue what radiation was going to do to their patient's body"
Really? I have a clue, and I'm not a doctor.
Keep goin❤😊
I saw the movie of that horrible incident. Those people were the bravest and most dedicated people ever!!! The word "heroes" doesn't even cover their courage. They saved thousands, thousands and thousands of lives.
The blue glow of death AKA Cherenkov Radiation.
I feel varying degrees of sympathy for all the people mentioned in this video, but the one that stands out for his sheer guts is the guy from Chernobyl. I was 17 when it happened, and enough radioactive got out and spread over northern Europe that for a few years afterward, Welsh lamb was banned from being sold for human consumption.
I wonder how many people, knowing that they had just a few days of life left, would do what he did, go back in and work to mitigate the disaster until all but dropping dead? OK, he knew he'd be exposed to more radiation, but he also knew that extra exposure wasn't going to change a thing- he was a dead man walking and knew it. Yet he thought beyond himself and did his best to reduce the effects of the accident on others. You've got to feel some level of admiration for someone like that!
There were a lot of stories going around at the time of the accident. One was that army personnel were being offered inflated wages to go in and try to clean up the damaged reactor. It was never said, but was implied, that none of those that took up the offer would live long enough to spend any of the money they'd earned: I hope that the authorities honoured their promise in the cases of at least those who had families, so that their loved ones at least had some compensation. Tying into this, news got out that the workers involved in the clean-up were being referred to by a certain word. I can't recall now exactly what it was or what it translated into ( something like ' biological cleaning robot'), but the implication was that those directing the clean-up operation were having to attempt to distance themselves from the fact that the people going in were being sent on suicide missions. I don't know whether these two stories are true, but if not, they certainly feel like they could be.
One final point- where, in all of this, is the Five Mile Island incident? It happened a few years before the Chernobyl accident, and should be here but isn't. I wonder why??
Hi, bro, are you still the same person who made videos before renouncing the previous format (6 years ago)? Or they have already bought out the channel (I loved you, thank you, you paid respect to the ideals, my respect, good luck in life!
Off thats very tough man. I hope people working with dangerous radioactive stuff could learn of these mistakes to never let them happen again, I hope nobody must die because of such radiation incidents anymore. Please take care if you work at these places. Trust is good, but control is better.
The man that lived the longest I feel most sorry for, they kept that man suffering.
This brutal getting radiation
The "Elephant's Foot" still remains at Chernobal, Russia😮
It's forming into a new form of elements that may be harnessed and is remarkably safe.🎉
The doctors weren't baffled. They knew exactly what happened to Hisashi. He'd just been in a criticality accident in a Uranium processing plant. The effects of Ionizing radiation on the human body have been well known and documented since the late 40's. You make it sound like Hisashi turned up to work one day and ended up going to the hospital because he was feeling a bit off lol.
The body doesn't try to get rid of radiation by vomiting. Vomiting is due to the cells lining the stomach and gastrointestinal system being very rapid replaced. The cells had been destroyed by gamma, neutron and x-ray radiation so the stomach lining sloughs off almost immediately because the damaged cells are replaced - hence the vomiting and diarrhea.
Neutrons don't strike and replace each other. Uranium 235 fission's and kicks out a couple of neutrons that can collide with other atoms of U235 and cause them to fission, thus sending out another couple of neutrons and causing a chain reaction - a criticality - when enough U235 is in a high enough concentration in one place and arrangement at a time, causing a criticality accident.
It's so sad. The fact that the Japanese doctors kept him alive for so song is disgusting. The man literally melted. Sickening.
From what I've heard it was more of his decision rather than the doctors. He wanted to keep fighting with the idea of being strong for his family
I was under CT some 10 yrs ago... still remember that acid taste...
U sure that wasn’t the contrast ?
Radiation contrast!
Riddle makes it practical on yourself 😂😂
5:30 heard this story in mr ballen medical mystery
Same, fellow Ballen fan.
I didn't even watch the video yet and I already know this is one of my worst fears, dying from radiation exposure.
Thankfully, unless you get into that profession somehow, you will never risk being exposed to that much radiation. (unless there's a nuclear detonation lol).
For your sanity, I would say you should probably avoid working in the nuclear industry.
What about people on the ISS or living in future colonies in space? How will the risk be managed?
The ISS varies depending upon where you are in it, but it is approximately what u get in one year on the ground in one week on the ISS.
You just game over. Then hit respawn.
I think this guys got Chernobyl radiation ☢️
I wonder why many of these radiation victims initially appear to get better... Only to die horribly soon after. What is the medical explanation? Wouldn't radiation sickness steadily deteriorate the entire body?
The guys at Chernobyl who were throwing slabs on to the open reactor from the roof. R I P.
I know Kyle Hill keeps trying to shut down your channel saying you are a scam, but this is not something I had ever seen before, I thank you for posting it.
Who?? What??
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 Kyle hill, and several other prominent CZcamsrs are going after known scam channels, but there are some that really aren't scams, just channels getting caught up in the bs.
Like Soft White Underbelly
Was he actually trying to shut down this channel? I recall he is just trying to fight scam\full of BS channels and this channel here was heading into that direction.
To be fair tho, this channel did post some OK videos before here and there sometimes, and since Kyle video I was not paying much attention to what is happening here.
Did click on this video just to see what's happening with the content now, and you know it's good actually, factual information and true stories.
I am pretty sure Kyle would be happy to see this channel continue like this in the future.
Good luck to him because your channel is shockingly bad.
3:10 "But back then nobody worried about such details" So in September 30 of 1999 nobody worried about radiation doses? Yeah, the human race was so primitive 25 years ago. We only had Pentium 3 computers, it truly was a dark age.
As others have pointed out, Ouchi knew what had happened, he was mixing liquids with radioactive content and it went critical, dead man walking instantly
Can't imagine power of radiation
Power of radiation E=mc2 ... Energy is equal to the mass of the object times the speed of light squared .... that's a lot of energy. You don't have to imagine it if you know how much that is ... we have equation to figure that out.
9:00 this is so ridiculous it wouldn't even be in the Simpsons because it sounds so unbelievably dumb
I believe our Ancestors knew how Best to respond to great sacrifice. There is much to be said of the creation and maintenance of Monuments to the dead.
Tbh, the scariest part of all this was that they kept him alive for months, suffering. RIP, man :(
Radioactive contrast, for CT, MRI
*I can't wait until we all get to experience this!*
For everyone talking about how they "kept this man alive" and that it was unjust, first of all, his wife and family were the ones who wanted him to continue medical treatment, especially after he lost consciousness during treatment, and secondly the medical teams behind treating him were honestly doing everything they could to save his life. Despite the massive amount of radiation[17 sv] he was exposed to during the criticality, they were vehemently trying to get him through the radiation sickness period so that maybe once the radiation sickness was over, he could make a recovery. 100's of doctors being experts in multiple fields from across the world all rushed to Japan to do everything they could to save Ouchi's life, not "keep him alive tormenting him for science".
I mentioned it above, but for the TL;DR, his exposure was closer to 17 sieverts[sv], and not 100, with 8 sieverts [8sv] being considered the lethal dose.
I've spent somewhere between 40 and 60 hours on the events mentioned in this video. I would have to say the reporting is extremely inaccurate. in some cases I would go so far as to say how in the world did you come up with that. Overall a very good collection to get people interested and started, just started. 👍
when a person gets hit with radiation the particles pass through the eyes causing bright specks of colour. this can also be seen on video recordings
(why didn't you mention walking ghost syndrome)
O caixão ⚰ usado foi confinado numa caixa de chumbo e seu túmulo foi concretado.
The most deadly element about nuclear power isn’t its ability to turn a person into a living corpse, it’s the gross incompetence that allows such horrid fates to happen.
And education san onofre power plant original design was 60 cooling tubes 80 feet long ..fresh engineering grads changed it to 100...when you apply water pressure to a pipe that long it flexes..at 60 there was safe equal space at 100 they hit each other..fracture.. bend
I will take it as a feature, but I find impressive that the narrator can literally sound like he is on the verge of death at every sentence, when talking about extreme radiation.
Louis was warned that if he continued this way he would die within a year and he did.
Few things that I believe are common misconceptions from my research purely out of self interest. Firstly, I believe cherenkov radiation ( the blue glow) can only occur when a median is involved such as water due to the particles moving faster than light. So in open air I’m not sure even at that immense amount of radiation can be seen by the naked eye. Secondly, the parts where the bodies and anything they touched needed to be destroyed I believe is unnecessary as when you absorb radiation, you don’t become a radiation emitting source. Only if there was physical contamination still present.
Correct me if I’m wrong on either part please
Jesus - where to start?
2:02 - While it raises the dramatics to insinuate the medics didn't know the problem, they surely did, as did Ouichi himself. He was brought straight from the site of the accident while others were figuring out what to do about it.
2:08 - "His chances of survival hinged on maintaining a sterile environment." No - that was only one problem. Radiation attacks fast-dividing cells. That includes epithelial (gut lining), bone marrow (blood cell production) and skin cells (replacing dead cell layer). Infection happens through the skin, so yes, they had to do that, but they also had to get his blood cell count up and maintain the gut lining. The vomiting and diarrhea are the result of epithelial breakdown, not an attempt to purge the body. The "mucous membranes" are epithelial, and they are not merely irritated, lots of them are dead.
2:53 - "Radiation is actively destroying their body." Nope, the damage was all done in the milliseconds they were being irradiated. All that happens later is the immune response which is largely much too late to help. Waste management of all the dead tissue overwhelms the liver and kidneys' normal one million dead cells per second rate of disposal, poisoning the body.
4:04 - As noted by others, they were maintaining a sharp point to do quality work, not to keep it from drying.
5:08 - "...radioactive materials are no longer used in medicine." Oh, bull. All sorts of radioactive materials are used, as tracers and as therapy, along with a lot of gamma and x-ray machines.
9:25 - your explanation of "criticality" (the normal state of an operating reactor) is absurd. Nuclei do not get near enough to each other to exchange particles ever. What it going on is neavy nuclei fission.
9:38 "The safe dose is 1/1000th of a sievert...", while on the screen it shows SAFE DOSE 1000 MSV. 1000 mSv is 1 Sv, a fifth of a 50/50 lethal dose.
9:50 "They didn't know the dose he had received." They should have; in Slotin's accidents, they assayed coins, belt buckles and other metals worn by the participants to find that out. They certainly had that possibility in Ousashi's case.
13:05 - Oh, my! Do you mean they were using a giant KitchenMaid mixer? Did you get the drawing from a KitchenMaid ad? Did you ask permission? LOL.
And what's all the fireworks? It looks like Tinkerbells escaping from the mixer.
14:43 - 100 sieverts. LD50/50 is 4.5. He got about 20x the lethal dose. You need a fifth grader to check your math.
17:40 "Even after the nuclear program was disbanded..." The hell you say. The Manhattan Project was subsumed into the Atomic Energy Commission's domain, later handed to teh Department of Energy. The research was never greatly affected. It was most certainly still there in 1946 when the Slotin experiment failed.
23:20 "...a precursor to an atomic explosion". No, perhaps a steam explosion like Chornobyl, but no atomic explosion.
13;40 - raincoats don't protect against radiation. Check. In fact, nothing that doesn't disable the wearer can. HAZMAT suits only keep radioactive dust off the skin; they don't protect the wearer from radiation.
14:20 "...everything had to be destroyed". The video shows burning office equipment. A weak metaphor, as such medium-level objects are not burned, which releases the radiation to the atmosphere, but rather buried.
Can astronaut suits protect from radiation? Just curious..
@@ronden3950 No, other than normally energetic alpha particles.
Wow, radioactive materials labeled with paper and rubber bands..... 😐
What if u reseefe 40sv to a 100 at 1 time would it kill u or turn u in a ghoul
Why do they show the picture of Josephine Baker at 4:04?
Still has the best non/carbon producing energy generation.
These accidents happen when you refuse to respect what you are working with.
Radiation Sickness? Red skin and those other symptoms and bloodwork screamed acute radiation poisoning to me.
7:43 they TRIED to dispose of the medical equipment, but due to an argument over money they building owners refused to let them take the medical equipment, holding it as ransom
People didn't realise the dangers of radioactive substances back then. The effects are rather brutal.
the two guys that were messing with the demon core knew full well. I believe one of them, after using their body to prevent supercriticality said something along the lines of “well, that’s it then” indicating he knew he was going to die.
@downbytheriver501 what worries me is accidents in nuclear power plants are very rarely made public.
the dangers of radioactivity is well known since the ww2
@marthas.4456 obviously not everyone caught on on that. The stuff is the most dangerous substance on earth
It’s human nature to become complacent when you’ve done something many times before. Also taking shortcuts because you want to go have fun isn’t wise when you work with dangerous materials.
Nuclear energy is a good thing if people focus and not become careless.
Radiation in a nutshell explanation:
Radiation is kinda like an invisible acid that literally demolishes and melts your body from the inside out
13:12 this is not what it looks on the mixer tank and the trycholoethane (if im not wrong) in reality it is in a different floor
That thumbnail though 😳
this is by far the worst way to die
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT UNIT 731 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rocketdyne nuclear accident Why Is the Santa Susana Nuclear Accident Still Being Covered Up?
This is why you wear your radiation badges people!!!!
uhh ? how could a FIBERGLASS coffin stop radiation???
So no becoming Hulk then? Ok
That place on the map just wasn't Goiânia, but ok
If you see that blue flash its over for you...
Unless you have faith in God.
Blue glowing light = BAD times ahead
83 day's of absolute horror!
This is by far and away the most painful death I've ever !
11:14 they got 10x more said by mr slav
The picture in begin looked like a ghoul from fallout 4 or new vegas😅
A lot of these accidents sound a lot like Final Destination "accidents."
Feels like watching a horrer movie..😥😰
Ouchi - totally incorrect. The doctors knew exactly what happened to him when he was admitted (here's a clue: they were wearing protective clothing against the radiation, although this wasn't actually necessary). His initial pain was limited to one of his hands only.
These visuals are giving me trauma 5:21
Name checks out
Its crazy that with how many deaths an crisis happen due to nuclear we still mess with it
Not that many really.. it’s crazy how much clean energy it’s provided us. What crazy are the irresponsible people not respecting it and not taking natural disasters and safety seriously.
Nuclear is the absolute BEST way that we as a species have to create energy at the moment and people who are scared of it, seriously need to read up on it.
I don’t know statistics but it seems there would have been far more deaths from black lung in coal mines. There are of course new precautions for that but worth comparing
Just a small addition: The phase, where the patiens feel better is because all the fast multiplying cells are already dead and gone (mucosal membranes) and the slow dividing cells still live (like muscles, skin, organs), but can't duplicate because the radiation destroyed their DNA, those cells live a few days to weeks. Afther that time they die, without being replaced, making the organs fail, from the fastest reproducing cells to the slowest.
The people with extremely high exposure die without that phase of "recovery", because the cells DNA has not been damaged but the cells have been killed outright.
Also the blue glow many have seen is oxygen getting ionized and happens only with extremely high radiation. Most who see it are doomed.
"Recovery" is known as the 'latency' phase.
You are showing the wrong location of Goiania on the brazilian map, goiania is close to brazilian capital, in the middle of the country
Hold on, that can't be right, parachuting from altitudes greater than 800m? So people shouldn't be able to live at altitudes greater that that, and yet they do. Am I missing something here?
Is not a nuclear energy we need,fusion process is best way to achieve real energy level not fission,uranium and plutonium during it's critical mass produce enormous neutron release,so technically speaking neutrons killing,like a micro bullets they piercing through your body at micro cellular level,desintegrating you apart....
The answer very simple,neutron bombardment affect DNA telemmiers,if links of chain damaged the whole chain would brake apart,since the vulnerable parts of DNA destroyed your body become helpless,at this instance it like a virus that override you but technically speaking invisible light spectrum tearing you apart....
Despite radiation of Uranium and Plutonium,depleted forms of both metals are highly toxic on it's own without radiation,depleted Uranium used in high caliber artillery shells for armor piercing capabilities,only USA,Russia and China and possibly North Korea have such munitions....
Just because your a scientist doesn’t make any smarter I guess according to these stories
5:09 what? yes they are
