Chernobyl power plant workers 'STOPPED Russian troops entering high danger zones'

- Brave Ukrainian Chernobyl power plant workers could have stopped a nuclear catastrophe by stopping 'Russian troops entering high danger zones'.
Valeriy Simyonov, the site's chief safety engineer, says the Russian solider wasn't wearing gloves when he handled the radioactive isotope cobalt-60.
n just a few seconds he exposed himself to so much radiation that it went off the scales of the Geiger counter, the Telegraph reported.
It is not known what happened to the solider after touching the material which brings risk of deadly health issues including cancer, years later.
It's also believed the Kremlin's forces contaminated the grounds from material on their shoes carried back from Chernobyl's nearby Red Forest, increasing the radiation levels at the plant.
Chernobyl, which was seized by Russian forces on February 24 before being deserted last week, is considered one of the most radioactive places on earth after the deadly nuclear disaster in 1986.
People working at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant recount the Russian occupation of the area. Russian soldiers have retreated and some are reportedly being treated for radiation poisoning after digging trenches in the toxic Red Forest and living in high levels of toxic radiation for over a month.
Mr Semenov, said their job was to stop the Russians entering high danger zones of the plant.
He said: "We prevented this with whatever means we had. But there were attempts."
Another safety officer measuring the radioactivity of the site said Russians burning trees that had 'radionuclides' on the bark have pushed radiation levels in the area to 4 or 5 times higher than normal.
"Background radiation levels in Chernobyl are higher than normal, both for Beta and Gamma radiation." Said Andriy, an Eco-center Dosimetrist in the Chornobyl area.
Russian forces occupied the defunct power station north of Kyiv soon after invading Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Ukraine's state nuclear energy company, Energoatom, said they left the plant on March 31 and were heading towards the border with Belarus.
There was no immediate comment from the Russian authorities on the reported withdrawal from the Chornobyl plant, which was the scene of the world's worst nuclear accident in 1986.
The area is in an exclusion zone due to the high radiation levels in the area after a nuclear reactor exploded at the plant in April 1986.
Energoatom suggested last week that the Russian forces had left because of concerns about radiation levels and they had taken an unspecified number of members of Ukraine's National Guard who had been held captive since Feb. 24 with them. This information could not immediately be verified.
"Background radiation levels in Chernobyl are higher than normal, both for Beta and Gamma radiation.", Andriy, an eco-center dosimetrist in the Chornobyl area said.
Ukraine's General Staff of the Armed Forces said in a military update last week that several units of Russian forces have been withdrawn from the Chornobyl district to settlements in the territory of Belarus.

Great respect for these workers. It would be easy to flee and leave the reactor. They did what was best no the rest of the world. Put themselves in second place. This is something we shouldn’t forget, true heroes. Every that worked at or for the site.
From what I saw on the news, they had no chance to flee because the Russians ran thru the area w/o opposition. Nobody would expect invaders to go thru a contaminated zone, so the plant was overrun and the workers were captured & forced to stay on. They are heroes nevertheless; they prevented another nuclear disaster from happening.
@@JoeVideoed they where not entirely unopposed ukraine had started setting up outposts before the invasion started the Russians that stayed behind in this waist land was just frozen in place that was stupid of them if they where serious about winning they should have put everything into thrusting forward and forgotten about building a defensive line here ir wouldn't have been enough but it would have made a difference. Russia will lose eventually the course of the war is basically set in stone.
@@JoeVideoed it was well known russia would go through Chernobyl it was the only path for the troops in the north. People didn't expect them to dig trenches and fortify but then again, does russia even teach about Chernobyl and the radiation as it was caused by Russian ignorance I doubt they teach it
@@silvertip185 most people are ignorant and don't realize chernobyl reactors are heating up again
@@Hueghjean Most people also believe almost everything they're told, too, unless they've got enough brain cells to think otherwise and do some research. The last working reactor at Chernobyl went sub-critical over 2 decades ago. There's actually an ancient youtube video that shows them pressing the button, then just sitting and lighting cigarettes to the sound of some alarms, as everything just shuts down. Its decay heat dissipated soon after that, and they have since been de-fuelled, apart of course from reactor 4, the fuel of which ended up pretty much everywhere but where it should be, to such an extent that any of its criticality ended over 40 years ago, well before the remaining reactors were shut down in fact. So there's no "chernobyl reactors are heating up again", that's utter BS and scaremongering. The site does still act as a major nexus for electricity distribution though, hence the mighty 50hz hum on this video, as well as processing nuclear waste, while trying as well of course, to safely contain/decommission reactor 4. All really easy to research, instead of just believing any old rubbish you read on the internet.
These site engineers are heroes 🕊🕊
The Russian troops made history by digging into radioactive soil. {IDIOTS}
Look now okay
There's been a lot of stupid comitted in this war, but digging trenches in Chernobyl is probably the most mind-boggling.
Not great.. not terrible.
A rocket to that plant would be a problem for ukrinis
@@EGvids1 Also for the Russians down wind.
Maybe there were signs in the Red Forest: "Dig trenches here if you want to get the Darwin Award", and Russian soldiers got excited about getting that award?
@@ModernProspector also for the whole continent… 1986 would basically be repeated, but this time, no one could stop it.
This is strange.
I read on the news that the workers from the plant couldn't stop them from digging trenches in the Red Forest. On orders from higherup, they were digging trenches in highly contaminated soil.
And I read that when the Russians retreated to Belarus, they passed through the Chernobyl area, picking up radioactive dust because it was stirred up by their wheels and tracks and taking it with them into Belarus and Russia. Who knows where all that dust has ended up? Maybe it's on the eastern front now? Or maybe in their cities? Who knows. The incompetence from the Russians is mindboggling.
They didn't even know there was a melt down at the power plant in the 80s. Propaganda is powerful.
Now you know why Ukraine doesn't want anything to do with those big dumb animals.
Saying goes, the Idiots will kill themselves. 🤣
What do you think war is?? No soldier cares about these things...they do what they are told...
There are young Russians who seriously believe that Russia gave Finland independence in 1917 out of pure goodness after liberating it from the evil Swedes in 1809, and they seriously believe that Stalin defended the Soviet Union from the Finnish "fascists" in the Winter War. I thought that Russia was at least somewhat civilized, but it turns out that it is a European North Korea.
Like Napoleon said, dont stop the enemy when theyre making mistakes. I do however see the point of conserving cherno so it doesnt set free more radiation
What do you think of the green corridors russia set up? I don't think ukraine has any. What a shame civilians need green corridors don't you think?
Well, it the mistake involves nuclear dust and materials…..that is an exception to that wise advice.
@@societylost4344 this has nothing to do with my comment. Ukraine doesn't need green corridors because they dont shoot at their own people, unlike the Russians who are known to shoot at green corridors and massacre civilians outside of important cities like Kyiv?
@@equarg what they did hasn't greatly affected anything outside the zone, of course if they're aiming at the reactor and shield they should definitely be stopped lol
Chernobyl is different, Napoleon never knew nuclear radiation
Did they make a campfire with the wood from the Red Forest???😳😱🤬
remember the radium girls, they died because they ingested the paint when they licked their paint brushes to make a pointed end. Also know, unless they washed their clothing and their trucks and tanks, they were still being exposed for long afterward.
The man you see at 0.20, the world should thanks him. He took Russian fuel for the generator. They could have led to a disaster if he not do it. This Ukrainian engineer must receive a medal for his effort. Thanks Engineer Semenov
I sure hope so. Same to a lot who are at the plant and the soldiers that appear to have been taken away by the Russian troops when they evacuated the site. They were locked away while the Russians were there and since retaking the site the soldiers haven’t been heard of since.
Thank you Mr. Semenov 🙏
@@danielwhyatt3278 "...and since retaking the site the soldiers haven’t been heard of since." Nor will they EVER, for some reason ...
Those Chernobyl power plant workers are unsung heroes
Absolutely!
What are they doing there?
@@rick-be They monitor the sarcophagus I'd assume, Chernobyl is still very active and fission reactions are increasing in the basement. Not to mention the elephants foot, a huge chunk of Corium that keeps growing and slowly melting through the basement where it will encounter more nuclear fuel. Btw corium is only created in nuclear accidents and is permanent. But long story short Chernobyl is heating up again and has been for the last years or so. Interesting and scary subject the elphants foot and Chernobyl, it's not done.
Even if these young Russians didn't know anything about Chernobyl, surely they could read the posted signs?
"They don't trust Ukranians", even if they're telling the truth.
I thought even 6 yo children with normal intelligence knew what the ☢ means, but obviously not.
Many russian troops are too young to know anything about Chernobyl. Most are from far flung villages & not very educated. They are cannon fodder.
so, hard to convey how poor and how unsophisticated and how abused (by their leaders) the average Russian soldier is....and if they were told to dig and camp HERE, they would. The Russians have a huge officer class, because anything that takes any knowledge or in depth training, you are an officer. The common soldier is not well respected and often not from the Western Europe part of Russia. If you think "Average European soldier" or even "Average US soldier" they are not the same. It's a tragedy but I'm losing sympathy for their being "used" as they are doing very well in the raping and pillaging department. :(
half milion of soviet soldiers save and liquidate radiation materials ant chernobyl in 1986-87 so never insult soviet soldier they give life there after disaster to save milions of people....
That smile at the end from that woman says it all.
Kudos to the workers who kept the site safe.
People definitely never kept their country safe with the state of it..
@@AwRighttttt You can blame Russian separatist forces on that one.
@@xjww8623 No.. Im not talking about Russia or Ukraine. I'm talking about countrys in the west. Freak shows on their best day. Not one thing to do with Russia
"welcome Russian soldiers, the lunchroom is through that door with the skull and bones sign"
Was only "Parachute Flair's" not a "Artillery Bombardment" as claimed.
Until drone footage I didnt believe that putlerists could be so stupid. But there are actual trenches in Red forest. Unreal, just unreal.
Russian State media claims that HBO’s Chernobyl was all lies to make Russia look bad, make the disaster look worse and that the CIA really caused the disaster. It’s no wonder they entrenched in the Red Forrest because they don’t know anything about Chernobyl.
Belarus 🇧🇾 suffered much from Chernobyle
Yeah now just think about the fact that this same group of people... Control one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the world! 😵
@@popcornsaidfu8757 all the nations of Nato combined. Think about that.
What are putlerists ???
Get exposing to radiation is like being in front of a machine gun shooting billions of microscopic bullets. You get the picture
If you see soldiers glowing in the dark than you know they are Russians from Chernobyl.
Be like Mr burns
They’ll be easy targets .
😄
@@richardleroykelley They will be dead regardless if they don't die in this war, they will die from cancer in a few years.
Well... now the Ukrainian troops will be able to spot them at night lmao
It is still funny how orcs were dumb enough to entrench in Chernobyl.
Especially as the Ukrainians would never have risked advancing there anyway.
no one told them. Also, conscripts are not the well educated or travelled Russians that most of us know. These are the forgotten Russians from the East and Asia. They are fodder as they join up to have a job, or escape living in poverty. It's not patriotism, and they may not even know about the Chernobyl incident.
They probably intended to rotate this unit every few days. The Russian military use railways and special rail trucks to get their military equipment most of the distance to wherever they’re going: all power stations in Ukraine have a railhead, including still Chernobyl. But the Ukrainians made them unusable as a precaution. This is also why the huge convoy ran out of fuel on the way to Kyiv - they weren’t originally intended to have to drive all that road.
@@kittymervine6115 every single Russian Russian is smarter than any American lol.
Who in their right mind would take Chernobyl power plant and dig trenches there in order to defend it. Why even go there... Insane. xD Big props to all Ukraine for restiance.
It's the one place no Ukrainian would dare to attack with artillery. Unlike the Russians the Ukrainians have to live with the aftereffects if they blow apart the confinement building or set the Red Forest ablaze. I think Russians were planning to leverage this and use it as a place to stage artillery and ammunition. Also remember they thought they would be done in 4 days. The Russian commanders were probably planning on only exposing their soldiers to camping there for a short while, not for a whole month. If they were only there for a few days the radiation damage would have been slow enough to manifest that they could lie about it a few years later. "What, you got cancer at age 28? Why, I have no idea how that happened, wow that's unlucky."
Apparently they weren’t aware of Chernobyl or what happened there 💀
I read a news story that said that 700 Russian soldiers who dug in around Chernobyl were evacuated to Belarus for treatment, if possible, of radiation sickness. Many were quite ill and I imagine that at least half will die a slow and painful death. That demonstrates how much the Russian military leadership care about their troops.
There were only 2-300 soldiers there. But where did u get the 700 number? I only heard 2 busses.
@@kungfreddie because he provides no sources and is clearly shaping the news as he sees fit to his own liking
@@oyuk4618 same goes for you
no treatment, and know that radiation exposure is cumulative. So what they were exposed to, they will carry with them for life and will be added on top of any X-rays or even natural exposure to sunshine and granite. Russia and hey EVERYONE that knows anything about radiation knows about the zones that are dangerous. Like 20 minutes top even in protective gear. So, conscripts... there are always more from the East.
There is no danger there,the first 3 plants continued to operate for 14 more years after the meltdown,without anyone coming down with radiation illness.
When you fail so spectacularly the Russian bots and their cronies have nothing to say about it.
Yeah saw a lot of them last days, one said that ukranians are unorthodox satanists
：Let's dig out the radioactive soil deliberately buried underground and have a picnic on it!
：That's a good idea, Ivan!
Ukrainian people are so strong, smart, fearless, God bless them all
Seven bus loads of Russian troops were taken to hospital due to radiation exposure. If there were about 30 soldiers on each bus. That's over 200 troop pretty much the entire force which occupied the plant . The Russian generals were either incompetent, completely uncaring for their own troops or both.
Good riddance
Вы адекватный или вы верите в чушь ? Вы горох от риса отличает?
Wanna bet the generals weren't there at all.
@@zoro7257 we don't always believe what we're told by our government, but at least we know history. Stop playing stupid and pay attention. We also have freedom of speech. Stop being a bot and do some research. Radiation is bad. Have some self thought before placing your comments.

Nice guys! My first question was WHY?!
Putin wanted to prove that Ukraine is making nuclear weapons
Blackmailing the world with a huge dirty bomb, I guess
Steal nuclear material?
Morals. Something your parents and teachers never taught you.

"welcome Russian soldiers, the lunchroom is through that door with the skull and bones sign"
There is really a lunchroom there,

"welcome Russian soldiers, the lunchroom is through that door with the skull and bones sign"
They don't defend it, these people work there to observe the ongoing damage the powerplant has on the area. All they did was telling the russians if they enter that thing, they end up dead.
Or, was it a missed opportunity?
"What's in here?"
"Nothing, go in, have a look around, take your time."
"Why you putting hazmat suit on?"
"No reason...just a bit cold"
I would have told them, that building over there, the one with the high arched roof, go in that door and inside you will find plenty of good places to bunk out for a couple of days - no reason you fellas should have to sleep outside in the rain on the cold hard ground, go inside where it's warm and dry.... 💀💀💀

Also, please, be sure to leave a _glowing_ review of our -hospital- hospitality on AirB&B, and to have all your fellow soldiers come stay when they stroll through!!
But srsly, is even the history of Chernobyl been kept hush-hush in Russia, that the everyday people conscripted into service, do not know any better than to not disturb the soil?
Or, for that matter, that it'll still be (ideally) uninhabitable for quite awhile, regardless of what their superiors have suggested? (as we no doubt the case)
I do feel for _these_ soldiers, since you know they've been stuck there, so wouldn't have been part of the War Crimes Battalion 😕
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE when chernobyle happened, ukraine was still part of the USSR, so they tried to depict the accident as little important as possible, im sure most of them (soldiers) never heard about it or just think its some propaganda or something else
Damn thats a suicide mission digging and living in the red forest
Maybe there were signs in the Red Forest: "Dig trenches here if you want to get the Darwin Award", and Russian soldiers got excited about getting that award?

I like how he even told them we have more tanks now
Something like three weeks ago now I heard two different pro-Russians with Indian usernames say the war was won already and Ukraine is captured, it's believable that a lot of Russians without access to external news would believe the state story that Russia is winning.

Hey Igor, isn't it great! The prepackaged meals are already heated!
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you indeed from Korea. You Chernobyl workers actually saved the world despite of worst situation. This is miracle. Bad things flows around globally. Absolute RESPECT
Like many I would have thought that letting these enemy soldiers enter higher danger zones, and die from radiation poisoning, would have been the right thing to do. There would have been a few less left to fight in the South East, and it would have made Putin look even more stupid.
It's a bit of a mistranslation, the speaker said 'high importance', not 'high danger', so they didn't let the occupants jeopardize the plant, that still has a lot of nuclear material present, too much
They are all cooked now. That they found a way to die from radiation shows them to be even more ignorant. A country like Russia should have lots of in depth courses in radiation hazards throughout their childhoods in school.
high danger zone is under concrete smart acc and is sealed off......they were trying to enter high importance areas like security rooms and control centre maybe....
@@abegilbert5113 I just wish they had been cooked better. Well done as opposed to medium raw.
@@RealPlatoishere Still open but locked behind doors.
The way the woman smiled when she talked about the Ukranian troops was lovely
Praying for the people of Ukraine 🙏 protect them father God 🙏
Workers : your face melts off over there
In this case maybe it was a good thing that the plant was close to Belarus, otherwise on their way (way away..) out, they might have just flattened it out of spite.
If they did that, then chaces are high Russia would get a big dose though. I guess they could just be really thick though and act without orders.
@@joecater894 Someone really thick gave them orders to dig trenches, but you have a point. Maybe a nice big hole in the billion euro containment.
I know it’s technically a war zone, but seeing dogs sniffing around in radiated soil makes my skin crawl..
They’re the desscendants of the pets of the evacuees. Liquidators weren’t able to destroy all the domestic animals. Now there are friendly strats all over the place, but none of them live past 6 or 7 years old before succumbing to cancer and other radiation illnesses.
war or no war those dogs live there
Dogs live like 10 yrs. The short lifespan makes them less susceptible to cancer from radiation I would think. Since the wildlife made a very big comeback in the zone it doesn't seem to effect them much.
They are hungry like a hyena
@@kungfreddie That’s not what the docu on the _Dogs of Chernobyl_ discovered. 10 years is too long for strays in general, let alone being born into a radioactive environment.
Didn't they maybe wonder why nobody was attacking them?
They knew. That’s why they thought that they had outsmarted everyone 😂
Her smile at 4:06
Hope you recommended to them the nice views in the Red Forest.
perfect camping site
Aww man this place is on my bucket list.
Radiation high but no face protection right🤔
Just the absolute highest respect for all of the workers at the Chernobyl site. They truly have done the world the greatest service under such trying conditions. I just hope that eventually we hear news about the Ukrainian guards who were kept locked up there who have since been taken away it’s believed by the Russians when they left. Either they will be kept for ransom or interrogated for information. I just hope they will be able to be recovered ASAP.
They should have told the russians that they have stored food in an area called "elephant's foot".
I was thinking something similar, they would be dead very quickly
lmaooooooooo imagine them just walking in there
where russian orcs go they leave destruction and their trash, it is nice to see such well organised and educated army if we can even call that an army
Huge respect for the Ukrainian workers…👊🏻🇺🇸
They either didn't know ,or were more terrified of disobeying the chain of command ,senseless
I read that headline ... and immediately thought 'WHY?'
These workers, and everyone since the Complex Expedition in the 90s, that work to understand and control the site are quiet heroes.
I thought Russia realy wanted that site, I was even ok with Russia taking on the financial burden of the continued maintenance of the radioactive place for the next thousand years instead of it being a shackle on Ukraine's economy. I guess Russia realy didn't want Chernobyl that bad.
Russia doesn't maintain anything nuclear. They dump used fuel and even whole reactors in the sea. They have dumped very many nuclear subs complete with reactors at the sea floor.
@@SalemikTUBE very true, we have seen how inept their management structure is with anything nuclear over the years, and it hasn't improved. I can only guess Putin called this one off cuz Moscow was down wind of what the troops were digging up in the red forest.

Ukraine has to open the Russian campsite to tourists after the war is over.
Yep they should be preserved. I would imagine the reaction of Russian tourists...
That campsite is in a very restricted area and is highly Radioactive. It will not be safe for at least 100 years. The Russian soldiers had no idea where their senior officers sent them was so dangerous. By disturbing the ground they released radioactive residue from the accident into the air again. There are reports (not yet confirmed) that 1 soldier has since died of Radiation Sickness and a number of others are seriously ill from Radiation Poisoning. The workers in the video are all highly trained and constantly monitored for exposure.
The Soldiers had nothing and were told nothing
Maybe Putin should spend a few months camping there?
Putin's potato field
If the war is over.
Like to see there faces when there out of the information vacuum, an seeing what we’re seeing
See it from the bright side those soldier dont need a flash light anymore they will light up themselves and bring their radiation back to Russia
Vodka will cleanse the soul
Like LSD
There is no Radiation. The Zone was evacuated because of Duga 3 Transmitter.
I'm amazed they didn't do more damage
Causing damage is like an Olympic discipline for them
I did notice that the radiation detector being used was out of date in the 1980's, with all the aid money for arms and humanitarian causes sloshing about in ukraine at the moment couldn't they treat the staff at chernobyl to some up to date equipment, for the sake of all?
But wouldn’t you also think the Russian troops found just a few radiation detectors around the place and might have thought why not check these areas out?
It works, as does my fridge, my deep freeze, my stove, my vacuum, also from the 80s.
They can't remove radioactive stuff, and they don't want to create more.
I wonder if any soldier digging there is living anymore.
They shoud be still alive, the red forest is very toxic but not deadly, the soldiers showed the first signs they shoud make it out alive.
However in 10 to 30 years a lot of them will end up whit cancer.
If i were one of them, I'd made sure they have enough shovels
"enter our country and i swear i will disable the cooling pumps"
They are a bit of animals, nowhere they clean up and litter the place they are staying at just like pigs would. Very typical.
It's the giant squirrels you have to watch out for
What on earth were they doing there, what was their aim- even securing a sewage works makes more sense than taking that over. And what sort of dumb idiots were they not to be aware of the risks.
Everybody gangsta till you get away from the reactor but the radiation detector doesn't stop ticking and you start glowing
Those guys had true power because any threat could be rebuked with “Without me we all go boom”
they be like : aight shoot me and you gon be glowing like a torch in seconds
"The truth doesn't care about our needs or wants- it doesn't care about our governments, our ideologies, our religions- to lie in wait for all time. This, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl." - Valery Legasov
And now those Russian Conscripts will face a new level of pain and suffering as the atoms in their cellular modules begin to break apart and the body starts to dissolve. The pain will be so unimaginable they'll be begging to put out of their misery.
They'll learn the truth the hard way, oh yes they're gonna learn.
The worst part of radiation sickness is you get slightly sick from the initial exposure, feel better for awhile and think you'll be okay, and then very suddenly, everything begins to fail one after the other. Skin starts dying as it cant generate new skin layers. The intestines rot and you hemorrhage so much that painkillers via IV do nothing to dull the pain.
Your body dies because the radiation destroys your cells ability to generate new, healthy cells.
@Goseth Jones No
You leftist termites been watching way too many Jane Fonda movie re-runs...FJB.
Hope they all suffer!
I would have told them there is gold in the basement under the elephant's foot.
They forgot one rule....
Don't touch anything in Chernobyl unless you have lead clothes
Somebody must have told the Russians all about the hidden gold being stashed in the radioactive zone by the Ukrainians. Sounds like a plot line to a bad movie....
Maybe there were signs in the Red Forest: "Dig trenches here if you want to get the Darwin Award", and Russian soldiers got excited about getting that award?
Poor soldiers will all die after this level of exposure
That dog didn't care. Wait until it has two-headed pups
I saw on one video that the Russian soldiers never heard of the Chernobyl accident. Also some were showing signs of radiation sickness. Don't know if true, but wouldn't surprise me if it was.
That where the burnt chip was 2 months ago
Ity is reported that one dude took radioactive piece of cobalt-60 by bare hands as a souvenir or something. Obviously, he did not watch HBO series.

I would have brought them Vodka and Cavier
If I worked at the plant I'd probably have told the Russians that the safest place to bed down for the night was down in the basement on top of the Elephant's Foot.
I gotta look up elephants foot I missed something
@@brentgarbett5306 When the uranium fuel rods melted in the core of the reactor and became a stream of molten super radio active metal and burned their way through the containment vessel, it came to rest in the basement and slowly cooled to a non molten state. This IS the Elephant's Foot, the single most radioactive object that exists on earth. For many years it could not be approached closely even by a robotically controlled camera. The radiation would render it non-functional before it got within a few feet of it. If you were to SEE it with your own eyes, you would be dead in days from the radiation dose you would receive from it.
We have to send a team of experts to Chernobyl to take assessment of how big the exposure is and if anything needs to be destroyed!
They probably need to cover the area with the trenches with new soil. To bury the contaminated soil again!
How are they just standing in radioactive area with no mask on and be fine.
Take them away from Donbass and Crimea !!!
I wonder if the trenches the Russians dug will be filled in? or left as disturbing them in would release more radiation?
brave people thank you !
Pity I wasn't there. I'd have been saying, you don't have to sleep out on the hard cold ground, boys, come here, go into that building over THERE, through that door, yes, lots of room for you to bunk out. Spend a few days in there, safe from bombing, and nice and dry and warm....
АЭС без присмотра ? Как так ?
How about some hard numbers in microsieverts per hour? Is the dosimetrist using background at Chernobyl as his reference or background at an unpolluted location as reference. Would you please hire some reporters that know something about science?
When you look at the whole scheme of things, what are humans really about. Destructive in more ways than one , deception, cruelty etc.the good doesnt cancel out the bad .
