He went to the ATM machine at 6am in the morning at dawn.

"AM" means "antemeridian", or "before the middle" or "in the morning".

This is what happens when you deploy on Fridays... sorry, couldn't resist!

The fact that this video is made in Roblox Studio is crazy

The check valves at the MCP's are something to think about. They CAN prevent flow of coolant to the reactor in the event of a pressure spike, something that should be avoided at all times!

3:49 To be scientifically accurate, 160 C is about 80% of 280C, on the correct K scale. 20C isn’t ten times hotter than 2C.

God bless the liquidators

Auch... please check your pronunciation of "Novovoronezh".

"It's not 3 roentgen, it's 15 thousand" "Please escort Comrade Chernobyl Guy to Party Headquarters"

Didn't Akimov press AZ5 and not Toptunov?

Please tell us more about the self propelled rods? How is this possible? Why do they start moving? They need a command from the scala system or not´

it would be interesting to see a video about how it would have been possible to save the reactor (in any realistic way) in the last 5 minutes.

Well, those Ukrainians have been reducing the quality of our lives for decades !! I read that even the mega explosion in Beirut a couple of years ago was connected to them. Where they are, there are obviously problems. I do not justify Russia's aggression against Ukraine, but I did a little research and followed the historical events surrounding Ukraine, so it somehow occurred to me that maybe it is smarter for all of us not to deal with them, they are simply prone to problems and disasters.

Having a "stop" button on a machine that actually means "blow up under these very specific set of circumstances without warning the operator what these circumstances are" is objectively a design flaw, not operator culpability. And it would still be a design flaw if the operator did know what the "blow up" conditions were.

As an engineer, I like to come at Chernobyl from a different angle: "Human Factors Analysis". This is the science of analyzing human error and mitigating it via defensive design. A frequent culprit in human error that shows up again and again is "plan continuation bias", where the operator continues with a plan that should be stopped, and given that this is common to a lot of accidents, this human behavior has to be engineered out rather than blamed on the operator after the fact. For example in the airline industry, they use automation and voice prompts to which the pilots are trained to respond to cause the pilot to abandon their previous plan. An accident like Chernobyl should be made impossible by assuming that operators will deviate from procedure and designing the equipment and procedure so that the operators must make multiple serious deviations to cause an issue, which _should_ give management ample time to intervene with corrective training, and this approach works very well in the west. People work with dangerous heavy equipment every day, yet accidents are becoming increasingly rare. Of course in reality the Chernobyl operators were probably just poorly trained and pressured by management to do things which they could not know were unsafe, had previous accidents to which no corrective action (training or engineering) seems to be made, and on top of this the RBMK design was deeply flawed, thus from this western perspective the explosion is considered inevitable, and the fault lies with the designers and management. Blaming operators after the fact for a disaster of this magnitude is entirely unproductive, because you're not removing the possibility for other operators to make the same mistakes elsewhere, which in the case of nuclear power is entirely unacceptable. Good engineering prevents accidents/disasters, scapegoating does not.

Did vodka play a part at any point in the sequence of events?

Is there a technical reason for wearing this caps or are they just a kind of uniform?

Hey! Is it Boris Yeltsin at 17:45?

I won’t really understand why a guy who’s literally dying from the disaster he tried to contain would lie, but ok. It is an interesting point of view, however it is never one factor, the reactors were shit, the workers were shit, the cleanup was a joke and they really got lucky in a few places. The hbo show only intensified the fears of nuclear power, too many ignorants now think nuclear reactors explode like Hiroshima. In the end, it was a disaster handled in the most soviet way possible. A culmination of 60 years of communism. To that I say: good for them. Nobody knows what really happened or what lessons we can learn, apart from: never trust the Russians.

What is the surname of the researcher, Alexander, mentioned at 8:15? I’d love to check out his UA-cam channel, but I can’t make out the audio.

Wow......what a difference compared to how he's portrayed in media. Glad I saw this

With the top-down management structure in place, you’d think they might have said “no experiments ever”.

So hott

What game is this

I would have shut the reactor down when the ORM fell below 15 rods, like the book tells you to. I think that when they found the reactor was poisoned, I would have shut the reactor down. I think that when Dyatlov wanted to press on with the test, after the power level fell below 700 MW thermal, I would have shut the reactor down, or at least skipped the rundown test. I think that there were many opportunities to have avoided the meltdown, that were missed, if they had only just followed the instructions for safe operation of the reactor.

0:26 this image looks like it's been artificially generated - look at the 'writing'

It's, not like the Russians to lie!!!!

Tiny side story. 1975 Dad was a SGT in the USAF stationed at Kelly Airbase TX His office was the tallest on base so they put a weather station and test equipment on the roof, Dad was tasked with getting the data to the correct people. He came home one day and said today we all breathed in nuclear material. Just little tiny amounts. He did not answer any questions. and never did.

What happened to these men was horrible. While I believe in nuclear energy's benefits, we are playing with fire and need to be very careful.

How were the Soviets who ran these RBMK reactors trained? Did they go to university? Or on the job? Crazy to think that even with the design flaw, there are still soviet rbmk reactors in operation today.

It’s my professional opinion that the commies ruined any shot we had at proliferating nuclear power without public opposition, through sheer hubris and incompetence.

Imagine working at that last nuclear plant mentioned where a part of the site was so irradiated they just couldn't ever use it. It's like a drawer with random stuff you'll just never open again... hah. Us Humans.

Boris Shcherbina: TELL GORBACHEV!!!! TELL GORBACHEV!!!! TELL GORBACHEV!!!! ** Destroys phone in extreme rage**

Watching these videos is when i trully appreciated what they meant by "RBMK reactors don't explode"

21:07 you mention that the football team FC Stroteil never played a single match on the Avanhard stadium in Pripyat, then where is the picture taken in 20:45 and 20:50?

milking same story again and again !!!

It sounds like you have a Yeti microphone. I recognize that background banging/dragging noise. Mine does it too and I hate it.

I advise everyone watch ЧерноНЕбыль from comrade Konstantin Semin. English subtitles end after a couple of minutes, but there's auto translation

I will remove my thumbs down on this video once you upload a video about the 3 mile island reactor meltdown.

Are you going to be covering Chernobyl 1982 nuclear accident witch had a pertial meltdown in reactor 1?

please stop ai-enhancing the images, youre completely ruining any details that are left.

Thank you SO much for this. It's deeply upsetting that there are no good quality photos of these amazing people. I still find it outrageous that the helicopter pilots who died are not officially recognised as direct victims of the burning reactor fire, after all they simply picked up where the first responders left off. In addition, the women who lost babies in the Pripyat hospital due to radioactive contamination. I find it amazing that with the internet today, it is not possible to build a list of liquidators from the testimony of family and friends. And there was the medial issued to all the liquidators, along with the small payment for services rendered. There must be a data base for who got what, because the bureaucrats involved love to generate records, and their bosses insist on keeping track of expendature.

I just found your channel and joined up, I look forward to more videos, ty for the hard work you put into it!

So to summarize - essentially, to "save" Chernobyl at that point, they would have had to undertake a dedicated series of very rapid, very unintuitive actions - they would have to disable the automatic scram system altogether, they would have to inject cold water to bring reactivity down, and start inserting control rods "slowly" (compared to the scram at least) one bank at a time. In other words, do exactly the set of actions that would destroy literally any other reactor in the world other than an RBMK. That's exactly the kind of thing that they COULD have been TRAINED to do, but nobody in their right mind would ever do unless they were trained. If lessons had been learned from the Leningrad accident, and crews had been trained on an emergency procedure to manage positive scram reactivity, it might have been possible to minimize the damage at Chernobyl, but yeah... that would have required the Soviet Union to admit a flaw in its design and that was never going to happen.

I still can't get my head around the era. At the same time that Westerners donated resources to save Soviet lives in Chernobyl, they donated weapons to kill Soviets in Afghanistan.

So this is the true origin of the Deathclaw!

The highest priority of any communist regime is to protect the regime at all costs, regardless of the truth.

Soviet Nuclear Reactor doesnt broke, comrade. You have to be mistaken, comrade.... Do you have warm clothing Comrade?

I highly recommend visiting Leningrad it’s a beautiful town

Google lists of reactor accidents. The two first links Wiki and IEER fail to mention this accident. Be great to see an updated and correct list.
