    It's scary how often 'human error' is just a polite way of saying 'negligence and greed'.

      And of course all the blame for the error gets shoveled onto the lower workers never the bosses and CEOs that make all the money.

      Inverse of the military, where usually a commanding officer would be prosecuted, like Lt William Calley at My Lai. And he was only prosecuted because half his platoon were decent people who didn’t like to murder and rape.

      @KellyHartley-t6w Yeah, right. Don't know if you know this, doubt that you do based on the comment, but EVERYONE'S head rolled when Three Mile Island happened, and Chernobyl is in RUSSIA, where things are different. Back in the 80s a bunch of EXECUTIVE heads rolled when it was discovered a nuke plant in NC wasn't built right. Time to get educated. Let me guess, Demokrat?

      of course it wasnt, america has had enemies globally for centuries now. and they supplied the militant groups that would later become terrorist groups because they were anti-communist (this was back during the cold war). they put people in power that are pro-US, which never bodes well with the civilians of a country, especially when they're a brutal dictator.

    1:02 one thing about this nuclear reactor that they had the rods that they insert into the reactor to stop the reaction had carbon tips so basically it was like when they pushed the scram button it basically was just like pushing the plunger on a detonator US reactors do not have that type of system, but Russia had their own design. It wasn’t an enclosed system. It was an open system if it would’ve been enclosed, a disaster may have been prevented because the rods that they put into the reactor would’ve been designed differently. The reactor went all the way over to 3000 MW in the end.

      @ukasz8631 2 months ago +10

      ​@revivesauerwein5717
      The power collapse was due to Xenon-135 poisoning. At such low power levels, the xenon buildup acted as a 'brake' that kept pushing the power down, making the reactor's state unstable and 'unstoppable' in its decline. This highlighted a major design flaw in the RBMK reactor, which was never intended to be operated under such conditions.

    • @ukasz8631
      @ukasz8631 2 months ago +4

      Fun fact, the actuall chemical reaction that lead to an explosion was simple H2 + O2 -> H2O, the H2 builded up under the graphite met the O2 from the air at some point

    • @ukasz8631
      @ukasz8631 2 months ago +12

      And the guys from the reactor didn't know that this flaw exist, that's why it wasn't their fault. The only people that knew about it was a small circle of engineers that made research about which was obviously censorshiped. GG USRR

    The funny thing is, there is a thriving ecosystem - a wildlife preserve, really - in the off limits area around Chernobyl. Humans may not be able to take the radiation, but other species like wolves, bears, bison and wild horses are living their best lives. Some have clearly become radiation resistant, with only limited indications that a few animals have been negatively impacted.

      You are absolutely correct - this was an unspeakable tragedy. All those people had no idea what was happening or why it was happening. Also, I noticed the animation made it seem like that giant tank was inside where the building itself could help contain the release, when in actuality, the tanks were outside albeit underground, so when the system failed, the release was outdoors and could not be contained. The outcome was horrific.
