It's better than Game of Thrones for me.
They used an identical de-activated reactor in Lithuania to shoot the series which is why it looks so similar. The HBO series is amazing.

her happy voice in such a disastrous place made me uncomfortable. how someone can be in such a positive mood in that place which took many young lives and left so many people in tears and affected ..
Regardless of the horror of it it is fascinating. There's a lot to learn from such a place. This is the first and hopefully only place of such a major meltdown. The ways that people are trying to find a way to remove and control the waste is so interesting and for someone who enjoys to learn about and see how devastating this was first hand I'm not shocked that she seems excited and happy.
It’s so unbelievably eerie to be in the control room, just imagining everything that happened inside, what it all caused. Such a tragedy.
RBMK Reactors cannot explode, how many times do we have to say it! Now pump water into the core so we can all go home.
And it will make thermal explosion then these 3 reactor will destroy earth

It is a place were history was made on that night. Gorbachev claimed that the Chernobyl disaster was one of the major reasons for the fall of the Soviet Union.
I always get the creeps knowing men who STARED into the reactor met up in that room to try and discus solutions to a problem no one had faced at this level...
Right? Thinking about these guys who know all the dangers of radiation and reactor staring into the destroyed, burning reactor, not even fully realizing the hell that was unleashed on the earth is terrifying
The original helicopter footage from 1986 and then the HBO recreation of the guys staring in. Like looking into the very maw of hell itself.
lol that's why you need top grades you need to take in a lot of info in a short time and be able to use it quickly for any situation. In that situation they knew damn well after it blew the levels they were exposed to meant certain death the moment that exploded they were dead dead in weeks. So for them staring into the reactor was nothing. They were dead but could save everyone else and choose to add water and stop the reactor from going into meltdown didn't have to but knew if the core is gone the explosion would affect belarus to germany.
I am curious how that buring core looked, its something like really weird

@@MatthewGames1
more like 400
For reference the meter she's using is measuring in microsieverts measuring the dose she's receiving. The show measures radiation exposure in Roentgens but a quick conversion of microsieverts/hr to Roentgen/hour reveals that 1 microsievert = 0.0001 Roentgen. The nearest roof to Chernobyls core was measuring at 12,000 Roentgen.
I can't just wrap my mind around this insane figure
@@abhishekmodgil1556 500 Roentgen has an LD-50, meaning half of the people who get that dose are going to die from it. The 90 seconds workers spent on the roof in a 12,000 Roentgen environment exposed them to 300 Roentgen. 300 Roentgen can cause acute gastrointestinal syndrome, meaning basically bloody flux for a week.
90 seconds at this intensity is good enough to maybe kill you. 2 minutes will kill half of the people who go through it. 3 minutes is fatal to most. If someone gives you a choice between 4 minutes on the roof with the other liquidators or a death sentence in the United States or China, take the death sentence. Your odds of living six months are better on Death Row, even if your execution is scheduled for that time.
Statistically, you have better odds of surviving a fall from the Golden Gate Bridge than of surviving 5 minutes at 12,000 Roentgen per hour. You are less likely to die if you are a pedestrian hit by a car going 30 mph. You are safer playing 10 rounds of Russian Roulette. It's more dangerous to stand on that reactor's roof for as long as it takes to sing the Barney the Dinosaur theme song than it is to board a passenger jet you know is going to crash.
If I had written this comment while experiencing that amount of radiation, I would be vomiting now, I would spike a fever tonight, my immune system would shut down by tomorrow morning, and then I'd "enjoy" the last three pain-free days of my life during the latency period. Four days from now, I would have essentially zero white blood cells and my chromosomes would have recombined in random patterns. I would then slowly die as every single tissue in my body failed and all my skin flaked off. There is literally not a single thing any medical team on Earth could do to help me, except dope me up (while I can still absorb morphine) and then pipe CO2 into my air supply until I'm mercifully dead.
Tardigrades can apparently take it no problem though. Stupid tardigrades.

It has to feel so weird being there. Especially the control room. Just imagining the chaos and nerves is crazy.
“Beautiful and creepy” she says as her chromosomes begin to literally deform due to radiation.
Just wow.
is she wrong?
Its not even half a mSv per hour in the reactor. Theyd have to stay there for 5 straight hours in order to get the same dose as we get in background radiation every year. Its safe.
Apparently it's much safer now and the danger mostly comes from physical contact with metals and the like. There are tours through the exclusion zone with very strict dress code rules.
Feed water is mildly contaminated she’ll be fine I’ve seen worse.
I like the gieger counter 'TIC' sound more than the 'BEEP'
Same. They're just not as creepy now
For context on radiation: at 6:54, you can see 31.5 uSv/hr. This is about 10x that recieved while flying on an airplane (about 3uSv/hr, due to natural cosmic rays). So spending 1 hour at this location is equivalent to flying for 10 hours on an airplane. Do you smoke? If you smoke, you inhale about 1uSv per 20pack, meaning 1 hour at this location is equivalent to smoking about 30 packs of cigarettes. Spending 22 hours at this spot (700uSv) is equivalent to the radiation you'd get from working in a coal mine for a year (due to natural radon). I don't want to downplay the danger, but the diaster is a lot less scary when you understand the basics of it and compare it to other common sources. *Note that the way the dector reads radiation does require certain assumptions (which I suggest you investigate on your own), but it is a good rough estimate.
24680kong But do those readings still count while you have a radiation suit on? Or would it be less?
What your body absorb will be less since the fabric somewhat reduce it to a very slight degree and plus iodine pill
Mhmm, who would I trust? A random stranger on the internet, or the lady on screen with the geiger counter saying that you get a fatal dose of radiation in minutes of going to the highest contaminated area in the reactor?
@@Netherlands91 well yes, what she said is true about the elephant foot location but what 241680kong was talk about was the dose in the control room. Yes there are SIGNIFICANTLY higher dose rate locations throughout that site but a lot of people have no concept of radiation so those counters squawking the entire time make people think that it was super dangerous in that room when in reality they were just set to the highest sensitivities (multiplier).
As for the "radiation suit"... it depends on what you are trying to protect yourself from and the main sources emitting. A tyvex suit would protect against alpha particles (which is probably the majority of the radiation if i had to guess due to the uranium and the plutonium) and it would also help with the contamination, as for beta, you can get suits to protect against it if you need to but it tends to be easier to just limit exposure instead of shield, and gamma or neutron you aint stopping those with any type of suit.
The problem is not in the level of radiation but in hot dust particles with uranium isotopes of strontium and other isotopes formed as a result of reaction and graphite, zirconium, after the destruction of the power unit, which are in the hall and at the station and can get into the lungs and stomach! and indeed in the Pripreti district and the station, the probability of hitting is great. Yes, and the mask does not help, when removing the mask, a person will inhale particles from it.
Having watched these back in 2016 it’s so awesome to see everyone’s interest in Chernobyl now
At around 7:20 in the video, you can see her meter is showing around ~30 microsieverts an hour of radiation. To put that into perspective, a typical person would receive around 10 microsieverts of radiation per day (it depends where you live, altitude, etc.). So standing there, she is receiving around 75 times more radiation that normal background radiation. That's actually less than I would have thought. Obviously, there are probably hot spots in that area, but walking around for a couple hours would have negligible effects on their long-term chances of increased cancer rates.
However, if I heard the man correctly and the spot he was measuring was 12 millisieverts per hour, that's pretty hot. The total maximum allowed radiation for US radiation workers is 50 millisieverts PER YEAR. So the radiation from that little spot puts out that amount in around 4 hours.
Again, being next to that and measuring it like he is doing for a minute or two won't really have any lasting health consequences -- but you wouldn't want to lick it.
He said 12 milli-Roentgens per hour which is only about 105 microsieverts.
You think it's his first time?. His knowledge says he does this all the time, scary shit tbh
Normal backround radiation😂😂😂😂😂 radiation is not normal let me tell you that... yes in this world we live in it is somehow..but our body is not made for radiation and its def not normal lol.... dont believe everything they tell.you
@@ziga226 There is a normal background level of ionizing radiation everywhere in the world. There are radioisotopes of common materials everywhere. Bananas contain potassium which is very mildly radioactive. Even you, being made of material from the environment, are mildly radioactive. Our bodies are capable of handling mild doses of radiation, just like they're able to handle viral and bacterial infections and injuries.
@@Arkalius80 I remember another video where they just tour the surrounding area the guide said that you get more radiation on the flight over than you do in the trip. So yeah... Not that much to worry about as long as you don't spend a lot of time in the truly hotspots.
I would really like to see inside reactor 4 but I don't think I would actually go. just don't trust those little meters and with my "shit for luck" syndrome I would probably stand in the wrong place and get butthole cancer
Nubbins oh god not butthole cancer XD
You can't go inside the reactor Hall. More than likely you would die
🍑💥💥💥💥💥💥💩💩💩💩💩
Nubbins man same but I'd only do it if I had say a few weeks left to live anyway.
It's fine, they have special clothing to limit exposure as much as possible and have strict time limits to also limit exposure to safe levels. You'd probably be exposed to more radiation by smoking for a month than visiting the control room for 20 mins
I don’t know why, but I’m absolutely fascinated by abandoned industrial facilities and cities. Needles to say, Pripyat and Chernobyl are pretty high up on my list.

@@themanformerlyknownascomme777 Nobody knew, but I was reading up on Dyatlov and yes the show did make him worse than he actually was. But he did not believe the reactor exploded, and even before that, he was pushing them to do it. Did he know? No. But imo he's still to blame for the human error portion, not the reactor fault.
@@TylerL220 He thought steam ruptured pipes above the control room, causing the explosion. Everyone in the control room was very confused, they had no idea what happened. All of their warning equipment and censors were useless. Eventually when they figured it out it was worse, Dyatlov tried to get Akimov, Taptonov, and the rest to leave and avoid radiation. But they refused and kept trying to salvage the core from total meltdown, by going to the water pump directly adjacent to reactor 4, not understanding it was non-existent. This lead to their fatal dose of radiation. Dyatlov’s account was that he did the test directly according to the regulations for the reactor. He had no idea what could happen, and neither did anyone else in the control room. He said it was very quiet, he didn’t force anyone to do anything, and everyone was simply at their panels doing their work, Akimov/Toptonov pushed AZ-5 and a few seconds later alarms started going off and the reactor exploded. Akimov and Toptonov were talking about pushing AZ-5 just to scram the reactor at the end of the test, and do a cold restart due to the Xenon present. They didn’t think anything was wrong. This is all according to Dyatlov though, who knows if he was telling the truth. He said the only thing he feels responsible for, is sending 2 people to manually insert control rods into the reactor. He realized his mistake, but didn’t reach them before they tried to enter the reactor room. They died within 24 hours.

It's funny because some of these idiots are probably smokers and just by doing that one activity alone they are exposing themselves to more radiation than by standing in that control room for an hour.
Really? Wow, i use to think that you can’t stay close for the reactor without get cancer.
So go ahead and rent this place if it's so safe.
It's not the external radiation causing problem. It's the radioactive shit you inhale. Bye bye gene p53. Welcome lung cancer.
Rad-X guys, never go out without your Rad-X... Fallout teaches us
The lead lined corridor is so badass old Russian style decor
They like their carpets ...

Its broken
Always happy to see more exploration of Chernobyl! Thank you for posting!
50,000 people: exist
Reactor core number 4: Hippity Hoppity. Your all dead and this is now all my property.
Simply thrilling and chilling to see this footage. Great job showing us. You guys are brave.
15 thousand Roentgens that is a mistake, it's 3.6 Roentgens because I said so...
Not too good, but not too terrible
maybe we should use that good dosimeter
Actually on the day of the accident, radiation on that control room was close to 5 Roentgens per hour, workers who got leathal doses got them from going in other places, control room was probably safest place in that building.
Wow. Amazing video. I've been fascinated by chernobyl for years. My grandfather is from Ukraine and he used to tell the story of what happened when I was a kid and it was so scary to listen. Now I watched the hbo chernobyl episode and holly shit I'm obsessed and it's great to recognize those unknown hero's who gave their lives to prevent a major major catastrophic event that could have made a big chunk of Europe inhabitable for thousands of years. This is a tribute to them and well deserved
Imagine I was intelligent enough to know a few lines from a popular show by a certain studio.
IKR, it's worse than the "first" comments.
I bet a few boxes of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers will clean that right up.
Amazing videos. thank you for posting these, not much onsite in depth footage is available
Wow glad to see you back doing this stuff. it's so cool to watch!
Imagine, 750.000 pepole (soliders AND civillians) were sent to work on cleaning chernobyl, but the most disturbing story is when they clean the "3 deadly roofs" the first roof had around 200 "roengen" which mean 2 hours in that parricullar space could cut your lifespan in half, the second roof had around 400 roengen wich mean half of that time could cut your lifespan in half, and here is the real issue: the 3rd and the most deadly roof... the roof of reactor 4... the pieces of graphite and the derbis had around 12.000-14.000 roenger which meant 2 minutes on that roof and your life is cut in half, 2 minutes 30 seconds and youre gonna die in a matter of months 3 minutes 15 seconds... youre dead in weeks... the soviet goverment wanted to use moon walkers to clean the derbis off the roof and dump it into the molten reactor... 3 moonwalkers were used to clean roof 1 and 2... but the radiation of roof 3 was so high the wires in the robots decayed in matter of seconds due to radiation... a german robot named "the joker" was deployed onto the roof... it had 1 cm thick layer of lead metal around it... even that did not make it... so the commander made a decision to use "biorobots" (humans) to clean the roof, over 3.400 civillians were on the roof cleaning it... but not at the same time... they were in groups of 5 anf they each had lead armor and special equipment... shovels as well... each group worked for around 90 seconds... then they got off and the used armor was later destoryed...
Could the disaster have been preveented if the Az-5 button wasnt pressed in the first place??
The reactor was in unstable configuration and was "running away" so there was nothing that could save it.
i find it funny how not a single detector emits that famous crackling noise we all know
Eugene InLaw
Some of them do. It just depends what make of Geiger counter you use
I'm just glad that she's not dead
She's not dumb enough to fuck up.
Okay, what ever you say. You obviously know what to do better than here.
She should message you and you can give her some advice.
what a jackass
Not yet, handling reactor fuel isn't the smartest..
Its not that dangerous
So glad you keep going back to film. Always enjoy your video's.
I love Bionerd, I hope she's doing well. I'm grateful for the adventures she shares with us, a bit more safely.
This is how I roam around my school corridors watching people.
*T O X I C !*
Your videos are always so fascinating! Please keep on uploading new videos :)
Davina is she alive?
Awesome video!! Great insight in the control room.
The history in that control room is palpable....in a very eerie, ominous way.
"IT'S 15.000 ROENTGENS PER HOUR!"
the idea there is still a body down there in that core area who never has been found
If somehow there is a body IN the core the body will be gone reduced to a single blood cell in 2 - 5 hours
@@nikostrydum7343 not in the core it self i think
He was a engineer deep down there he got trapped afther the explosion
some people say his body was vaporized in the blast, but if it wasn’t it’s entombed in the remnants of the core and building
In mother russia, you react to reactor.
Dan Druff mother ukraine

Great place for a destination wedding.
All your guest will come back glowing from the reception.
Congratulations, you now have cancer. Task failed successfully.
This woman loves it, she's a tour guide here, for now that is!
They might have increased their lifetime chance of cancer by fractions of a percent. The radiation here is very high compared to normal background radiation, but it's not Chernobyl leve .... wait.
No really, you wouldn't want to spend the night there -- but limiting your time there to an hour or two isn't going to have any serious long-term health effects. But still, they are slightly nudging up their lifetime risk of cancer in any event. But hey, we got a cool video from it!
They take iodine to prevent thyroid absorption and limit their exposure to "safe" levels.
You should probably never let your kids play with anything that is glow in the dark either...
No. Before you go there, the tourist guides are giving some pills to prevent or limit the absorption of radiation
@@trashcandatnoobwut2246 Or eating bananas.
YES ! New Bionerd video !
Amazing video!! Thank you for documenting your walkthrough. I really enjoy watching these Chernobyl videos, I cant thank you enough. Wish all the best and stay safe and healthy. :-)
" I did everything...... I did everything....... " Just haunting. This is probably one of the best pieces of media ever. Truly scary and haunting. I was about 19 when Chernobyl happened. We in the US were not told of the full truth for so many years.
5:31 mentioning those people gave me chills.
8:10 yes, let me wrap my dosimeter In plastic to prevent contamination but also just wear wool knit gloves. Going there is just for the scientists/insane now with that gear
If it prevents dust from getting onto your skin and gear it's good enough. Not like they're going anywhere that's extremely radioactive, at least not for more than a few minutes. About the same as a chest x-ray
@@antimatter4733 That's not good but it's not terrible.
I would say those peaple know much better how to suit up for those meatings,...
What amazes me is all the wires they had to run to the sensors. There's so many buttons!!
this is way better than the HBO series because there's no unnecessary dramatics and everything is straight to the point ~ 😊
It’s really fascinating but also terrifying seeing this, the decaying soviet architecture, the rubble of the past. I love this kind of abandoned stuff but I could never do this myself, I’ll be terrified. It’s kind of impressive how intact it all is, despite everything that happened and the destruction, people can still walk around it and the corridors are still not too destroyed. I wonder how people managed to work in reactors 1-3 after 4 melted down if just the corridors set off the counters this much. I genuinely think if I was mental, and had no fear at all, I would go down here and explore all the ruined corridors. I’d probably get myself killed accidentally though.
3:59 is this where Homer works?
MrDnB89 Hahhahahaha
MrDnB89 Explains the explosion. You just made my day.
That would explain a lot.
MrDnB89 *D'OH*
