My daughter is like that too, she is only 8 and her first obsession was the Titanic, when she learned as much as she could about that she’s now moved onto September 11th which has become a very big obsession for her.

Kinda interesting my father worked at Shoreham Nuclear Plant on Long Island I watched this movie as a kid and became fascinated with Chernobyl and anything Nuclear.
There are so many great versions of this. The BBC made one n the late 2000s (I think) that was so well acted and so well done that I was a bit surprised when I first learned that HBO was going to have a go at it.
There was also "Zero Hour, Disaster at Chernobyl" in 2004. It had been filmed at Chernobyl reactor 3, so the closest you can get to the real location, and the actors were perfect lookalike of the real people involved.
those cameras were not installed at the time and were thus not in use on unit 4. another thing to note is that flames were not visible between channel caps, instead, the ~700 pound caps began to lift up in down due to extreme pressure, followed by explosion of the core.
@@festivelad5079 There is proof that actually the 700 pound caps didn't weigh that much at all, and in fact they never lifted off until the moment of the explosion.
@@TheTrueMichael these caps are used to help keep the channel seals closed when the reactor was not being fueled, they were very heavy. also yes they never lifted until moments before the explosion, this was due to extreme steam pressure attempting to escape the core, as well as mechanical force from the rapid rupturing of the steel channels inside the graphite blocks.
@@TheTrueMichael the caps? yes they partially were, but they were mostly used to keep the refueling caps closed. most of the radiation protection was done by the upper biological shield, which sits several meters below the channel caps. the individual caps wouldn't be a super effective radiation shield as they are not very large (only around a meter in length) and are loosely grouped together so a crane can remove them for refueling access.
There was a reactor fatal design flaw that would only kick in under certain conditions, and those conditions occurred because of the gung-ho ham-fisted operators. But in fairness to them, they thought hitting the AZ-5 emergency shutdown button would avert disaster. It didn't.
I don't know all the details, but apparently there was a 'possibility' that, when the AZ-5 button was hit, the control rods would descend but not properly enter the reactor core; rather, when they touched the edge they would cause a power surge which would cause them to jam barely half-in and not doing much good. The power surge however would cause even more problems to the rest of the atomic power station. This 'statistical possibilty' was known to the original designer and also a few big-wigs high up in the Politburo but it had been buried in an official report and not made widely available. Certainly the every day staff at Chenobyl never knew of the risk/possibility of it all going pear-shaped.
@@xj900uk To be fair and I am not saying this to defend them, but I guess the circumstances here have been pretty pecuilar in some sense due to the nature of the experiment they conducted and also under such conditions. Instead of using the day crew as planed they got to the night shift and a staff which was not really aware about the conditions. The fact that the reactor was runing for hours in a low state where it created Xenon inside the core. No one ever probably expected or thought that someone would run a reactor, on purpose, in such a state for so long. So the authorities knew there was a "risk" but they simply thought that it was not worth the hassle to "fix" it. Crazy.
@@CrniWuk More likely they thought the 'risk' of something bad happening again in such similar circumstances was so statistically low, it wasn't worth bothering about. Which, of course, meant that it was bound to happen again one day.
@@C2H6Cd they did know though that once you shut down a reactor you have to wait a couple weeks to restart it, and in all the confusion and frustration of wanting to get the test done they over looked things that they shouldn’t. Yes this particular reactor type has several design flaws that were not explained the crew especially the leader Antonov should have known. He was a trained nuclear engineer
Actually the auto-safety system would have blown it up. They had pushed it into a dangerous state that was hard to back out of. The correct solution from this point was to lower the control rods one at a time. Among the many design flaws in this reactor, lowering the control rods momentarily increases reaction rate. Normally this is not a problem, but when they've built up so many three-day isotopes and are so close to prompt critical it's deadly.
when you realize they used american names instead of the original ukranian names like aleksandr akimov, leonid toptunov, valery khomdechuk, anatoly dyatlov, etc

Some say that this was the Dyatlov’s fault. The test needed to be performed at 700-1000 Megawatts as the instructions said, while Dyatlov, the deputy head of the boss of the power plant, Nikolay Fomin, said that it should be performed at only 200. He thought that he knows everything to the point where he may not follow the instructions. But he wasn’t reckless. He knew that sometimes the rules are contrary to reality, and you need to smooth out the edges to get the job done right. But this time it didn’t work

Yes, I worked at a nuclear power plant in Maryland (now retired) when this disaster struck. Some time after it happened we had a meeting where the official report of what happened was read by our supervisor. From what I remember, they were trying to perform some type of test which required the reactor to be at a low level. Problem was, at that level it became unstable and was going to auto shut down. To prevent that, they disconnected the safety systems. Unexpectedly, the reaction increased rapidly to the point of the reactor exploding, so quickly it occurred - a matter of seconds - that they didn't have enough time to get the control rods inserted into the core. It was sheer stupidity on the part of the control room operators. The other problem was that the reactor building itself wasn't strong enough to contain the explosion and allowed the radioactive fire and contamination to blow out into the atmosphere.
Yes. An employee at a nuclear power plant in Sweden got radioactive dust from Chernobyl on himself when he went outside. When he went back inside to work, he set off the radiation sensors. That's how the world outside of Russia first found out about it.
I'm sorry, but in NO way does this compare to the real chills (I got) from the HBO 5-part mini-series (though, I admit, this little clip's all I've - so far - seen of the whole film), they've done 'typical' things, i.e., have background music for this, which, in the HBO scene, there's none during this whole sequence, only the eerie silence, punctuated by an alarm, or an ominous rumble, making it just pure nail-biting torture (in the first episode, the very beginning, when it's night, and we're in the fireman's apartment, the window's in the centre, and you can tell that the central part is the reactor. When there's an instantaneous beam of incredibly bright, white light, shooting straight up, most people (watching the film, as well as those, who were AT the real area of the tragedy) are caught off-gaurd by it. A few seconds later, there's a deep, powerful rumble, and explosion does it become crystal clear; the sound and noise were only part of it. The blast of white light was the other part, and that we've just witnessed a massive disaster. I don't know what the actor's (real) name who's playing the Anatoly Dyatlov part, but, here - though hey make him (obviously) 'in-charge', in HBO's Chernobyl, Paul Ritter was ruthless, uncaring to the point that he didn't even believe the data, unless he could somehow make it conform what he thought it should be. The disaster was caused by a string of terrible coincidences, and it's much more likely that - in the Soviet Union, people were less than 'people', but, more accurately just a small part (of whatever it was that they were involved in/with), and therefore, they didn't care about the totality - only that their small part was correct/efficient, etc, and, here the Dyatlov-character seems more human, and just...stupid, but, in the HBO mini-series, he was ruthless to the point that the entire plant could drop into the pit of hell, just as long as what HE was in charge of, DID asmthey were expected, and followed EVERY rule.
@@catonawatermelon8 one of fuel channels broke into pieces so had to be deactivated,afterend reactor was repaired and returned to fnction but just one fuel rod less. sd for turbine fire, it was not fault of turbine but cutoff switch that shorted and turbine did send back voltage to generator this killed generator and caused oil leaks because oil lines ruptured and that oil ignited due to shorting.,generator rotor windings had meltdown all reactors indeed had partial meltdowns around 1982 or 1984 , there was 3 or 5 accidents with fuel channels breaking... because of fking graphite tips on control rods. they knew that could cause some problems but truth was censored...if you entirely take away control rods from reactor and reinsert them throught az-5 button you get endless reactivity increase. .. if you only remove control rods partially not entirely and you hit scram there will be huge spike in power increase but not reactor detonation also real purpose of RBMK reactors was production of radioactive isotopes including plutonium.
This relates to my dream where me and my dad explored the abandoned Chernobyl which is near California some how we explored the halls and the control room even the reactor he told me the story
If this was a Bill and Ted movie scene, Bill and Ted shuts down Chernobyl reactor. Bill: Ted, we must shut down the Chernobyl reactor before the plant explodes! Ted: Do not worry Bill, I told everyone I already did it for them. (Chernobyl plant shuts down) Everyone (Claps and cheers): Way to go Bill and Ted!
Notable difference. IN the 1991 movie, they have analog dials. In the 2019 HBO series, they have digital displays. Which is accurate? If the former is more correct, it would have been more effective for the HBO series to mimic the 1991 movie because how the heck can you read a huge wall of dials shown in the 1991 movie? Since I had a Texas Instruments digital watch in the late 1970s, I know the Soviets could have had digital displays at Chernobyl.
@@KManXPressTheU That too, as well as ignoring an obvious design flaw. They had at least two warnings with AZ-5 causing power spikes in the past prior to shutdown, one with Chernobyl-4 itself if I'm not mistaken, and another with a different RBMK-1000. What did they do? "Nah, it'll be fine."
@@logicplague2077 Let's not forget the Control Rods had Graphite Tips, Which Caused the Chain Reaction; The HBO Series ' Chernobyl' Really brought This into the Light.
@@KManXPressTheU Yeah, it was a way to get a little more "mileage" out of barely or not at all enriched Uranium, instead of letting water that was just a weaker absorber replace the control rod in the channel as it's withdrawn, you pull up a moderator instead. Decent idea, just needed refinement which they ignored until it was too late. Also, they never planned on having the reactor in such a f***** configuration as it was.
No wonder it exploded, they'd employed British staff but left all the controls in Russian - they were probably just guessing which buttons to press.

The disaster was caused by a string of terrible coincidences, and it's much more likely that - in the Soviet Union, people were less than 'people', but, more accurately just a small part (of whatever it was that they were involved in/with), and therefore, they didn't care about the totality - only that their small part was correct/efficient, etc, and, here the Dyatlov-character seems more human, and just...stupid, but, in the HBO mini-series, he was ruthless to the point that the entire plant could drop into the pit of hell, just as long as what HE was in charge of, DID asmthey were expected, and followed EVERY rule.
The alarm sounds like Taiwan EAS alarm
I think they might have borrowed the dropping rods footage from Total Recall when Quaid turns on the alien oxygen machine.
I have this movie, it is absolutely frightening.
Reactors story
Reactor 1:shutdown
Reactor 2:fire broke out due to faulty turbine
Reactor 3:shutdown
Reactor 4:explosion due to design fail
3rd reactor actually melted down,the fuel did and they had to reinstall the reactor,thats atleast what i think
@@catonawatermelon8 one of fuel channels broke into pieces so had to be deactivated,afterend reactor was repaired and returned to fnction but just one fuel rod less.
sd for turbine fire, it was not fault of turbine but cutoff switch that shorted and turbine did send back voltage to generator this killed generator and caused oil leaks because oil lines ruptured and that oil ignited due to shorting.,generator rotor windings had meltdown
all reactors indeed had partial meltdowns around 1982 or 1984 , there was 3 or 5 accidents with fuel channels breaking... because of fking graphite tips on control rods. they knew that could cause some problems but truth was censored...if you entirely take away control rods from reactor and reinsert them throught az-5 button you get endless reactivity increase. .. if you only remove control rods partially not entirely and you hit scram there will be huge spike in power increase but not reactor detonation
also real purpose of RBMK reactors was production of radioactive isotopes including plutonium.
Was that a scene from total recall I saw when the control rods went into mars surface?
those Russians are all so polite to each other
Average day in roblox chernybol unit 3 when bacons are controling the reactor
Me and the boys at an sleepover messing with the tv:
Wait did they use that clip from Total Recall for the control rods lowering????
0:43 bro he’s just like bos- just do ur job
2:53 explosion
Did they have more than one variety of sausage available in the canteen?
nice total recall scene lol
This relates to my dream where me and my dad explored the abandoned Chernobyl which is near California some how we explored the halls and the control room even the reactor he told me the story
Monty Python would be proud...
What are the flashes of light under the reactor lid just before the explosions? 2:42 2:46 and 2:51?
fuel channels breaking apart
I've been here none
Analog all over!!!
If this was a Bill and Ted movie scene, Bill and Ted shuts down Chernobyl reactor.
Bill: Ted, we must shut down the Chernobyl reactor before the plant explodes!
Ted: Do not worry Bill, I told everyone I already did it for them.
(Chernobyl plant shuts down)
Everyone (Claps and cheers): Way to go Bill and Ted!
Was this filmed in the plant ?
That guy at 0:05 doesn't strike me as a Russian nuclear engineer...
Notable difference. IN the 1991 movie, they have analog dials. In the 2019 HBO series, they have digital displays. Which is accurate? If the former is more correct, it would have been more effective for the HBO series to mimic the 1991 movie because how the heck can you read a huge wall of dials shown in the 1991 movie? Since I had a Texas Instruments digital watch in the late 1970s, I know the Soviets could have had digital displays at Chernobyl.
These were the guys who flunked out of acting school
2:07
Why isn't the control rods and fuel channel caps jumping?
Must be how they made the movie.
The rods didnt jump in real life,instead of that,the floor of the power plant was shaking
Oh ok
Not great, not terrible.
I do t think they would have time to jump. The lid of the reactor came off in only 5 seconds
2:48 It's a scene from Total Recall. 😂
The alarms are so unrealistic
And we have Labour MPs who go on television saying they are proud Communists.
If they're so proud, why don't they move to a Communist country I wonder? Oh right, they suck lol.
Wait a minute. Did they seriously use footage from pul? Verhoven’s total recall as a way to show the control rods?
Film clip from Total Recall 2.01 😂
Its funny to heard the same alarms of the China Syndrome
It honestly made me chuckle a little when I heard it
It was called press and guess!
Yep, What Happens when You don't have Enough Safety Precautions
More like when you don't follow them.
@@logicplague2077 Or Build Cheap like the Soviets did
@@KManXPressTheU That too, as well as ignoring an obvious design flaw. They had at least two warnings with AZ-5 causing power spikes in the past prior to shutdown, one with Chernobyl-4 itself if I'm not mistaken, and another with a different RBMK-1000. What did they do? "Nah, it'll be fine."
@@logicplague2077 Let's not forget the Control Rods had Graphite Tips, Which Caused the Chain Reaction; The HBO Series ' Chernobyl' Really brought This into the Light.
@@KManXPressTheU Yeah, it was a way to get a little more "mileage" out of barely or not at all enriched Uranium, instead of letting water that was just a weaker absorber replace the control rod in the channel as it's withdrawn, you pull up a moderator instead. Decent idea, just needed refinement which they ignored until it was too late. Also, they never planned on having the reactor in such a f***** configuration as it was.
2:12 Who Is That Guy
Was this actually filmed in the Chernobyl plant?
Thas stuff freak me out
2:41
Let's just order pizza...
The reaction apparently spread to all the turbinium on the planet ... IYKYK🤣
I like that chemobly 1985 at Ukraine ussr was radiation radiology and nuclear medicine was caused cancer and genetic mutations 1981 and 1985
The reactor core
I didn't know Chernobyl was in Britain
