Connor watch vsauces what will we miss video I think it’s that one it’s I think a few million years is likely wrong tho but watch the video to see how long
Nah, I could go to sleep with that sound. I like radiation. I don’t fear it (well, unless it goes into the >2mSv range!), unlike most. Yes, the Cold War brought to light how dangerous it can be, but there isn’t really much to worry about normally. Not unless a new Cold War sparks off again.
If you can hear clicks, that is the sound of individual particles colliding with the detector. This means you can probably hang around. The scary sound is when when the clicks are so frequent, the detector emits a constant scream. If you hear that, run.
My mom worked south of Chernobyl. She was operating on childrens’ teeth. She saw a whole bunch of deformed mouths, and cleft lips and pallets. This was because of the radiation, and the kids grew deformities. She says that now she has PTSD, from seeing all the pain those kids went through.

@@camb381 You cannot feel the radiation penetrating through your body but you will suffer its exposure effects like cancer, ulcers, cuts, etc. That's actually what he/she meant though....
You can feel radiation, when it's in high enough quantities. The firefighters who were called to the reactor that morning all later reported having a strong metallic taste in their mouth, and feeling pin pricks all over their face. Unfortunately, I meant _shortly_ later - most of those firefighters were dead within two weeks. When you are exposed to so much radiation that you can _feel_ it, you're pretty much doomed.
You arent yet doomed. With alot of luck you can survive even if you "feel" it. Some of the soliders that were sent on the rooftops of the reactor to clean it off radioactive trash still got away with that metally taste. Fun fact is that that metally taste will mostly never go away
I was talking about the firefighters that morning. The few dozen first responders who didn't even know that the fire was related to the core at all. Most of the ones who actually got near the building were dead within two weeks. My post didn't mention anything at all about the hundreds of thousands of people who came later, and who were at least aware of the scale and danger of the disaster.
@@bardes18 Yes and no. Although the risk of being harmed by the present radiation in the form of radiation sickness is low, you still expose yourself to much higher doses of radiaton. As with any radiation, you run the risk of having unusual cell growth. Exposing yourself to higher levels of radiation is increasing the risk, so you can argue it is dangerous.
That was both Toptunov and Ignatenko. But large radiation fields (into roentgen/second or sieverts/second) can cause a metallic taste (due to radiolysis, the breaking down of tissue due to excessive radiation). But fields that large (1Sv/h is guaranteed to start radiation sickness, 10Sv/h is guaranteed death WITH treatment) are basically death forcefields.

The first responders to Chernobyl, which were blanketed with heavy radiation, described they tasted metal and felt a 'pins and needles' sensation in their faces.
+Sam Adekunle Highly unlikely, since no one knew what to expect at the time, definitely not the soldiers. My father was supposed to be in one of the clean-up teams a few months later (got held back at the last moment for medical reasons), and I remember we were mostly worried about him being away for so long. I think they could have felt the described sensation, since what got sprinkled over the area and carried away with the wind were tiny particles of heavy metals that emitted radiation. It is equally possible that the statements were given long afterwards, when the consequences were already known, and looking back, that's what they thought they felt
This comment section: 50%- 50.000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town. 20% - Fallout refrences. 20% - Stalker refrences. 10% - cool, i've been there.
I've always found it a bit peaceful and terrifying how quiet it is when people visit Chernobyl. I know someone who went there and they said that it was the most terrifying place they ever visited. Not because of anything scary or horror stories but the overwhelming sense of dread and the lack of any kind of sound from civilization. He said it is as if you can feel the weight of what happened when you are there. The one thing from a story that stuck out to me was he had this constant feeling like they were being watched. And that they needed to leave
at 1:48 when he went into that dark room my anxiety spiked like I thought a two-headed raccoon was gonna jump out and bite him my imagination is overactive
“I did everything right” Aleksandr Akimov. I cannot imagine the dread and sorrow he and his colleagues felt after hearing that indeed the reactor did explode. They didn’t make any mistakes they just followed orders and when all else failed the very button that was supposed to save them cause mass destruction
I know it might sound wrong, but it's quite appealing the looks of a deserted city... mysterious yet calm with all the surrounding wilderness. It must be hellishly scary at nights
My mother was 2 when it happened and she was on a train to her grandmothers they took a stop right next to Chernobyl for like 40 minutes and im so happy im fine and she’s fine and none of my brothers and me have cancer! :D
For the people who claim that he is in terrible danger by what he's doing there a few words: When it comes to radiation exposure from outside the human body can handle nearly extremely high doses compared to the natural background radiation. The danger is about "incorporation", when radioactive material gets inside of your body. The natural background radiation is about 0.1 - 0.2 micro Sieverts /h (micro means 10 to the minus 6). You get radiation sickness by a dose from about 1 Sievert, which is 10 Million times 0.1 micro Sievert. In one hour in front of the reactor where he stands he gets a dose of about 5-6 micro Sieverts. A CT scan gets you a dose of about 4 milli Sieverts! So about a thousand times as much and two times what you normaly get in a year through natural background radiation. The problem in Chernobyl was that just on the roof of the reactor where soldiers had to remove parts of the reactor fuel the radiation was about 120 Sieverts/h, which gives you a lethal dose in a few minutes (120 Sv = 120,000,000 micro Sv). You may want to protect yourself when there are radioactive particles, that you could breathe in. But there is no real clothing that "shields" radiation. US radtiation workers are by the way limited to 50 milli Sieverts (50,000 micro Sieverts) of radiation per year. The real problem is incorporation. Uranium-238 for example emits alpha radiation that from the outside normally doesn't penetrate through your skin. But when Uranium gets inside of your body, close or inside of a human cell it couses a lot of damage because alpha radiation has of all radiation types the highest ionising potential even thou it has the lowest penetration depth. By the way he has made another video called "The most radioactive places on earth" which is better than this one, where he examples a little bit about the radiation and its danger.
Gaming King You can convert sievert to rem (roentgen equivalent in man) by this: 1 Sv=100 rem. They are both units used to measure the equivalent and effective dose. Which are derived from the absorbed dose by including the effects of radiation to organic tissue. The absorbed dose would be measured in Gray(SI) or in rad. Roentgen however is a pretty old unit which isn‘t used anymore because of the fact that it just measures the exposure by the amount of energy absorbed by air. But different materials absorbe a different amount of energy, which means that not only the amount of radiation determines the damage but also the type of matter. That‘s why the unit „rad“ was created to measure the absorbed dose. 1 Gray being 100 rad.
Gaming King Thanks a lot for your compliment! Well I‘m just a 19 year old student of mechanical engineering in Germany and those things lay kinda in my interest ;).
@@GriseWeisshark There aren't really any places on the outside that are dangerous to visit. There are a couple like the Pripyat hospital basement where the firefighter's clothes were dumped that you wouldn't want to linger for extended periods in. But all of the really bad stuff is entombed inside the former reactor building now. That said...it's very easy to get your own geiger counter, I have one that's a little bit better than the one he's using in this video, and it was only $300 on Amazon. (Look up Radiascan 701a.)
@@Дмитрий-п9ь7щ that's just because of adaptation much like the bugs and birds and small rodents that live in that area now and some dont seem to have any significant radiation damage or non visible at all in some cases. at the end of the day nuclear is still natural, just not in that concentration.
All ghillied up - the ferris wheel scene we had to defend Capt MacMillan until exfil. Heavily outnumbered and outgunned. Flashback moment from COD4 Modern Warfare the original.
Man i was thinking the same and at 1:10 we ended the mission All Ghillied Up at the end in the hotel entry point if you remember. And at 5:21 are they Dyatlov at the 2nd potrait and Shcherbina on the right from the series Chernobyl?
Blues'n with the Bird only the workers who where in the reactor directly died. The people who lived in the surrounding towns where just simply evacuated else where. They didn’t die directly.
@@gaminglimited1208 Actually not that many people died out of cancer derived from the radiation, liberal estimates range from 8-16k over all of Europe. As terrible as that is, if you think that just the nearby town had 50k, and those deaths happened over 50-60 years. I would be more worried about walking the streets of Rio de Janero(Brazil) at night than walking around Pripyat in 1987. You got to remember that area grows by square, being twice the distance means you get a quarter the dose. So being less than 1km from the reactor or in the closest town(roughly 5km) means ~8^2 times less radiation. It's not enough to guarantee you will get cancer, much less to give you radiation burns. Of course, that is if we are talking about a day trip, living an year there means over 365 times that exposure every year.

The first responders to Chernobyl, which were blanketed with heavy radiation, described they tasted metal and felt a 'pins and needles' sensation in their faces.
You here from dark5 too?
+Brian Schwartz Could have been the nocebo effect?
+Sam Adekunle Highly unlikely, since no one knew what to expect at the time, definitely not the soldiers. My father was supposed to be in one of the clean-up teams a few months later (got held back at the last moment for medical reasons), and I remember we were mostly worried about him being away for so long.
I think they could have felt the described sensation, since what got sprinkled over the area and carried away with the wind were tiny particles of heavy metals that emitted radiation. It is equally possible that the statements were given long afterwards, when the consequences were already known, and looking back, that's what they thought they felt

I've always found it a bit peaceful and terrifying how quiet it is when people visit Chernobyl. I know someone who went there and they said that it was the most terrifying place they ever visited. Not because of anything scary or horror stories but the overwhelming sense of dread and the lack of any kind of sound from civilization. He said it is as if you can feel the weight of what happened when you are there. The one thing from a story that stuck out to me was he had this constant feeling like they were being watched. And that they needed to leave

For the people who claim that he is in terrible danger by what he's doing there a few words: When it comes to radiation exposure from outside the human body can handle nearly extremely high doses compared to the natural background radiation. The danger is about "incorporation", when radioactive material gets inside of your body. The natural background radiation is about 0.1 - 0.2 micro Sieverts /h (micro means 10 to the minus 6). You get radiation sickness by a dose from about 1 Sievert, which is 10 Million times 0.1 micro Sievert. In one hour in front of the reactor where he stands he gets a dose of about 5-6 micro Sieverts. A CT scan gets you a dose of about 4 milli Sieverts! So about a thousand times as much and two times what you normaly get in a year through natural background radiation. The problem in Chernobyl was that just on the roof of the reactor where soldiers had to remove parts of the reactor fuel the radiation was about 120 Sieverts/h, which gives you a lethal dose in a few minutes (120 Sv = 120,000,000 micro Sv). You may want to protect yourself when there are radioactive particles, that you could breathe in. But there is no real clothing that "shields" radiation. US radtiation workers are by the way limited to 50 milli Sieverts (50,000 micro Sieverts) of radiation per year.
The real problem is incorporation. Uranium-238 for example emits alpha radiation that from the outside normally doesn't penetrate through your skin. But when Uranium gets inside of your body, close or inside of a human cell it couses a lot of damage because alpha radiation has of all radiation types the highest ionising potential even thou it has the lowest penetration depth. By the way he has made another video called "The most radioactive places on earth" which is better than this one, where he examples a little bit about the radiation and its danger.
Very informative.
Nice, but it would have more clear to me if you used roengten instead of sievert
Gaming King You can convert sievert to rem (roentgen equivalent in man) by this: 1 Sv=100 rem. They are both units used to measure the equivalent and effective dose. Which are derived from the absorbed dose by including the effects of radiation to organic tissue. The absorbed dose would be measured in Gray(SI) or in rad. Roentgen however is a pretty old unit which isn‘t used anymore because of the fact that it just measures the exposure by the amount of energy absorbed by air. But different materials absorbe a different amount of energy, which means that not only the amount of radiation determines the damage but also the type of matter. That‘s why the unit „rad“ was created to measure the absorbed dose. 1 Gray being 100 rad.

It's relatively safe now as long as you stay away from heavily radiated areas. That's why they lend you a Geiger counter to detect the radiation.
@@GriseWeisshark There aren't really any places on the outside that are dangerous to visit. There are a couple like the Pripyat hospital basement where the firefighter's clothes were dumped that you wouldn't want to linger for extended periods in. But all of the really bad stuff is entombed inside the former reactor building now. That said...it's very easy to get your own geiger counter, I have one that's a little bit better than the one he's using in this video, and it was only $300 on Amazon. (Look up Radiascan 701a.)

@@ireneuszpyc6684 The rest will get cancer and die slower
WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I LOOK A COMMENT THAT SAID IN THE VIDEO, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS XD
@@gaminglimited1208 Actually not that many people died out of cancer derived from the radiation, liberal estimates range from 8-16k over all of Europe. As terrible as that is, if you think that just the nearby town had 50k, and those deaths happened over 50-60 years. I would be more worried about walking the streets of Rio de Janero(Brazil) at night than walking around Pripyat in 1987. You got to remember that area grows by square, being twice the distance means you get a quarter the dose. So being less than 1km from the reactor or in the closest town(roughly 5km) means ~8^2 times less radiation. It's not enough to guarantee you will get cancer, much less to give you radiation burns. Of course, that is if we are talking about a day trip, living an year there means over 365 times that exposure every year.
