Exploring With Josh it looks like it was set up like a museum or something, because lots of things are cut open or displayed and labelled, in a way which never would have been needed when it was a working plant
When a nuclear power plant is decomissioned. The proprietors are federally mandated to remove anything and everything that could even have a small chance of contaminating the environment. If a leak were present, suffice to say that Josh wouldn't have been able to enter, as itd most certainly be cordoned off, or even sealed by local authorities.
Same thing goes for essential systems. A very specific list of items absolutely must be removed to prevent any possibility of accidental contamination/reactivation by unauthorized individuals
Reazer - Modder and Developer as Josh said, its probably just connected to a grid that is still in use by other buildings. So shutting it off in there means shutting it off for all the other buildings
For those wondering, the power plant explored in this video never actually went into full operation. The Long Island Lighting Company was halfway through building this plant when the incident at the Three Mile Island Reactor happened, and during this plant's low-power testing phase, Chernobyl went critical. Unsurprisingly, the local residents protested the power plant's further development and it was decommissioned without ever having been run at more than 5% power. Oh, and for those worried about radiation, don't be; the plant's new owners, the Long Island Power Authority, finished decontaminating way back in 1995.
IKR, people don't seem to understand why you can't just leave a plant with radiative material in it unguarded. Too many "nuclear technicians" in this comment section who are purely talking out of their ass.
The Dingo thanks for your comments it makes sense now for me, since i’ve been working for long time in oil gas field and i am control and instrument engineer and the control room feels like they never been touched same for the mimics and marshaling panels etc.
UNOnumb Citation needed. There are plenty of technologies that can clean up radioactive contaminants. They are nothing special. Sand blasting, excavation of contaminated soil removal of porous objects covered in radioactive dust etc. Please do not spread ignorance. The main issue is whether or not it's cost effective to decontaminate an area. Decontaminating one reactor core is easy. Scrubbing a huge area like Pripyat or around the Fukushima reactor building is far from economical. Ontop of that, where would they entomb the waste they clean up? There has yet to be built a permanent deep storage facility of nuclear waste. So it's much more economical to cordon off a perimeter far out from the danger zone and keep people out. Instead of trying to remove millions, or even billions of tons of contaminated soil, building materials and flora and trying to find it a new safe home. Ionising radiation isn't' some magical thing, it's simply the decay of certain unstable elements. It comes in the form of high energy EM emissions, alpha, beta and neutron decay etc. Once these things are emitted, they do not stick around. They are usually quickly absorbed by something. The source of these emissions is physical matter, Dust, metals, or sometimes liquids. How do you think a decontamination shower works? It's just soap and hot water, washing all the radioactive dust off your body. Nothing really special, save for it using some really powerful detergent that is wholly unpleasant compared to normal shower soap. but that's just to ensure that no contaminants remain stuck in your body oils.
What type of fucking idiot has a smile on his face in a nuclear reactor do you realize he could die in that damn place and why didn't you shut the vault to the nuclear reactor why didn't the people own it weld the vault shut
chemical lab built somewhere around 1917 that they have done bare minimum maintenance to. formerly nyanza, i get a nice view of a 25 acre superfund site out my office window
Almost everyone in the comment section has worked in nuclear reactor factories or are scientist and some even started the original pieces of nuclear reactor equipment. Wow. Dayum thats a lot of smart people.
niro lord no, but it's not hard to look this stuff up. Alot ot the comments are totally correct. Watch a few videos about nuclear reactors and plants. After all that is how alot ot is found this video to begin with.
A majority of those people who claim to be "Nuclear Workers" or "Scientists" aren't really. They just say what they've looked up online and say that. There are those few people who really are Nuclear Workers or Scientists. Many of the people just want to make it seem like they know what they're talking about, but in reality, they don't understand what they're saying. Just being honest lol
Ex-Navy nuke here, trained when Adm Hyman J Rickover was over the nuke Navy. Feel free to ask any intelligent questions, or continue to sniff Josh's panties.
Did you guys have a Geiger counter with you? SOme of that stuff must be fairly radioactive, probably nothing dangerous but would have added extra mystique to the video.
Yeah, that is very true, there is no containment, but some materials irradiate better than others, and there must be quite a few areas that have a higher than average background radiation. Still well within basic guidelines obviously. Even if it's just a few tenth/s of a mSv, it would have been a cool educational tool.
I had a friend doing decommissioning on a nuclear plant, you can get fatal doses by wandering around the facility once its decommissioned. Its safer while its in operation because of the excessive monitoring and controls. but during the tear down much of the insulating materials are removed. even though the radioactive materials are removed, much crap remains as dust
Yeah, been told always have a geiger counter with you or a radiation badge when entering any remotely radioactive areas. You never know and it's always best to keep safe. Irradiated/contaminated materials stay that way for a very very long time.
that nuclear reactor uses highly radioactive fuel, uranium 235, which splits up releasing neutrons from the nucleus, which hit other uranium 235 atoms, creating energy, in the form of heat, which then heats up the water within the core, which is then evporated as steam, passed through to the turbine hall, which spins the turbines to generate electricity... A Nuclear Plant in a nutshell. i can talk all day long about this and explain both chernobyl and fukushima disasters :) P.S:i do not work in a plant, i want to but im only 15 :(
I’m 15. And we’ve been studying radiation and radioactive atoms. It’s cool and all but I’d never work in a power plant. I’d rather do other lab work maybe medicine type.
The reason them "tubes" are removed is because they were the steam turbines, the vanes and casings are Titanium, worth a lot of money scrap and completely clean of radiation.
Those were actually heat exchanges. You could see the many small holes at either end. That was the tube side of the exchanger where hot liquid or steam was pumped through. The pipes connecting above him was the shell side of the exchanger where the cooler liquid was pumped through to get heated.
you should take a geiger counter when you go to a place like this. There could still be radioactive material lying around, even the clothes and stuff left behind could be dangerous.
Josh I just discovered a very secret underground military bunker that spreads out 4 miles and it still has guns, vehicles, and missles the are just lying on the ground, and the best thing is No Graffiti and it still has power reply if you want the location.
OK so at 3:00 and 10:00 when you are all wowed by the control panels -- look at the way it's laid out so that also a diagram that shows how the controls affect other things in the plant. This is called a "mimic bus". Operators rely on these diagrams to keep track of how the whole plant is operating and to anticipate changes. The electrical portion of the plant will be diagrammed in a similar fashion to the reactor itself. Mimic buses are useful for reducing the complexity of something like this to smaller, simpler pieces that operators can handle and not get overwhelmed.
this feels so post apocalyptic with how the place is almost untouched and still running on electricity. you have got some balls being alone in there man. hats off
If it is raining or you walk through wet grass you can set off radiation detectors just from the natural Radon gas coming from the ground around your house. Your wet shoes will absorb the Radon gas.
The machine on 6:56 is used for doing experiments and has a fan than absorbs all fumes so it won't cause harm to people . You put the experiment you have in it and work on it with the window closed and the fan turned on.
Svenator can't be. First timestamp was dated 1994, 15 years after the incident. Plus, that power plant is still being operated, it isn't abandoned. But it was foolish of him not to have a geiger counter on hand.
1979+ 15 = 1994 Besides, Threemile island exists in 2 separate Nuclear reactors around the same spot. Reactor number 2, the one which had the melt down is probably abandoned, but reactor number 1 is still operational up until this point.
Svenator yes, but you can't exactly waltz into an operational facility. And apart from the video annotation, there's no indication of the location. The incident happened in 1979, the reactor would have been sarcophaged.
just found out about this channel.. people complaining about when he said that he is alone, Well, Okay he was alone, Can you shut up and enjoy his hard work filming and going into dangerous places to entertain and educate us? cant you find peace within yourselves and stop complaining about such small manners?! Grow up.
Grow up...hard work..educate..ha.. the power is still on buddy. The plant is in care and maintenance. He's probably got someone showing him around. Full of shit. Not as abandoned as you may think.
The machine at 8:38 with the glass barririer on it is some kind of thing to keep chemicals inside in case while you use them, and spill it, you can just shut the glass. We use it in chemistry class sometimes
Decommissioned reactors are always scrubbed clean. In fact due to the shielding of the reactor, there's less radiation inside than outside. Leaving radioactive materials in a place so easily accessed would mean anyone could steal it and make a dirty bomb. Hence why places holding nuclear materials are so heavily guarded.
You are correct, they do scrub them, but they don't always get all the hot particles left behind. Especially in a plant that large that has been running for long periods of time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't pick up some hot particles on his shoes and packed them home.They shouldn't be hot enough to hurt anything though.
If this location is in NY , then this facility was only ran for basically a day at about 5% power and then shutdown and completely decommissioned. Although there was once nuclear fuel in the facility there is no harm of radiation there. The Proper People did a killer video there and show the actual fuel pool and how it has been scraped clean of any contamination. Also you can see the top of the reactor and inside of it.
10:50 at this moment you recorded the reactor heart. In working those little "butons" will appear light and will show the reactor's heart needles (uranium which is in use)... Thank me later
He wasn't alone.. Plenty of times you see his shadow as he's walking forward.. 9:01, he's going through a door and you see his back lit shadow from behind.. Someone else was with him
I was thinking the same thing. He was getting dosed the whole time. How much I don't know depends how much they cleaned up but no matter how much it's cleaned up there's gonna be particulate matter in different quantities and he said it had a nuclear accident in 1979 which makes that 3 mile island. Not too smart but hey it's entertaining.
@@blacksmokerising47 this is not implying that he is at three mile island, a power plant that experienced a disaster in '79. He wouldn't get anywhere near three mile island as one of the reactors is still running and the one that isn't running still has stored nuclear fuel so security would be rather tight. Take a look at the carpark of three mile island on Google Maps to see how still open and busy the place is. He is at another island though that has decommissioned the power plant and cleaned it up. The power is still on because the turbines and generators that were powered by Nuclear boiling water reactor are still being used but now by gas boiling water.
When reactors ged decommissioned they remove any and all radioactive material from the power plant, not just the fuel but everything that emits radiation.
@@blacksmokerising47 watch the powerplant explore of the Proper People they had geigers with them and couldn't detect anything above base radiation the whole time i'm not saying this makes this one safe or the idea of going in there unprotected a good one but usually they do a perfect job at cleaning these places out it wouldnt be sitting abandoned and accessable like that if they didn't. Just my 2 cents
12:14 I am almost scared for you. Uranium-235 has a half-life (meaning how long half of the radiation in the material to die down) of >1,000,000 years! Yes, the fuel rods most likely have been taken out and thrown into waste management. But there is very high just of much higher radiation then a normal dose through out the building.
Its not ''>1,000,000'' years. The actual half life is 703,800,000 years. It decays in Alpha (about 4.679 MeV) Yes it is more than the background, but its alpha mode (decays in alpha particles.). Alpha is easy to block (just a sheet of paper.), but dangerous to inhale. And the longer half life is, the less of a trouble it is (example Np237.) The plant's state is a cold shutdown state, means the most of the nuclear fuel has been extracted So its not that radioactive as people think and overdramatize. " rip this dude he will die of radiation :(.'' and etc. Correct me if im wrong.
As soon as I saw 1986 I knew you meant Chernobyl. That disaster had nothing sane about it. It was horrifying. Chernobyl, the worst nuclear disaster to ever happen on this planet.
Good thing i brought my uranium with me then lol come on people a dangerously radioactive site would not be kept unguarded or in anywhere near active service, nothing could be started, and furthermore people need to understand that nuclear power is not dangerous when the rules are fallowed (or simple common sense for that matter) let me explain what I mean as was stated In the video there have been extremely few nuclear power accidents! And to bring attention to the incident in japan! What made them think it was ok to continue operation of a nuclear power plant in the middle of a tusimai Plus the geographic location of that particular plant was poorly selected If oil rigs and refineries get shut down for hurricanes then why not nuclear power plants I'll tell you why... they do! and those stobbern jackass's decided not to and look what happened! When you don't fallow a safety regulation people can be hurt!!! Next time Japan shut down the plant!
The question is how hasn't Josh died from radiation poisoning. And he's there alone it's like he's indestructible. Also entering the reactor was a really bad idea. I also live next to a nuclear power plant that has been running for many years. I wonder if it will ever get abandoned.
You do realise that the reactor chamber has been scrubbed of all residual radioactive materials, right? If it was still contaminated it would be under heavy guard, elsewise anyone could wander in and get materials to fabricate a dirty bomb.
i love the part that he said "and i am by my self here" when he found the "main control room" and after few minutes you can see that he is with his friend at 12:11
if i left all you commenters alone on a desert island with nothing but basic survival tools, how long before you could build a nuclear power plant?..................
@@patson420 what you call the truth, I really don't wanna hear indeed. I know pop-up characters like you feel entitled to comment on everything, but I'm giving a flying flamingo of what your opinion is.
For all the people asking about a geiger counter It's called a personal dosimeter. And also this abandoned power plant probably never had fuel inside its reactor core. Kind of like the abandoned power plant out on Long Island that never got completed. Most nuclear power plants that are decommissioned if not all will be manned until disassembled due to the fact that the radioactive waste is kept on site until it could be moved.
You should come to county Cork in Ireland there is a insane asylum in the city and it's the longest building in Ireland and one of the longest asylums in Europe it's called our lady's hospital or St. Kevin's/St. Ann's I also think there are two asylums in Cork right next door to it. It looks like something out of Hollywood movie it used to hold 500 patients and you can look up the rest there is also an abandoned church hall just up the road
If you enter an abandoned nuclear power plant, you should not only bring a Geiger counter to help you avoid hotspots, you should also have a particulate respirator, safety glasses, a hard hat, gloves, and a disposable tyvek suit. Duct-tape the gaps in your wrists and ankles to keep dust out. Then, it’s perfectly safe, provided you watch your dose and keep exposures brief.
Just a heads up, you might wanna go to the doctor cause you don't know if there was gasses leaking that you were inhaling or chemicals. Just a heads up
3:31 Who leaves an abandoned power plant just sitting here... Well Josh...1. You can't just pick the site up an move it 2. You can't just demolish it 3. Even an abandoned plant has use.
I wouldn't consider the Three Mile Island incident a MAJOR disaster. Definitely not that serious and no radiation leaked outside the compound. We don't even talk about it here in PA, it's pretty much been forgotten

you go to an abandoned NUCLEAR Powerplant and do NOT take a geiger counter with you?
btw given the date stamp you use at 11:18, you are at the reactor at Three Mile Island aren't you?
Svenator probably , I wouldn't waste time bothering him about locations I learned my lesson with that for sure ...
Svenator can't be. First timestamp was dated 1994, 15 years after the incident.
Plus, that power plant is still being operated, it isn't abandoned.
But it was foolish of him not to have a geiger counter on hand.
1979+ 15 = 1994
Besides, Threemile island exists in 2 separate Nuclear reactors around the same spot.
Reactor number 2, the one which had the melt down is probably abandoned, but reactor number 1 is still operational up until this point.
Svenator yes, but you can't exactly waltz into an operational facility. And apart from the video annotation, there's no indication of the location.
The incident happened in 1979, the reactor would have been sarcophaged.
just found out about this channel..
people complaining about when he said that he is alone, Well, Okay he was alone, Can you shut up and enjoy his hard work filming and going into dangerous places to entertain and educate us?
cant you find peace within yourselves and stop complaining about such small manners?!
Grow up.
Grow up...hard work..educate..ha.. the power is still on buddy. The plant is in care and maintenance. He's probably got someone showing him around. Full of shit. Not as abandoned as you may think.
Even 'abandoned' power plants are every now and again checked just to be safe; even more so in the case of a Nuclear Power Plant.
I'm guessing the crew split up and that's why he said he was alone
we just don't like fake people
The machine at 8:38 with the glass barririer on it is some kind of thing to keep chemicals inside in case while you use them, and spill it, you can just shut the glass. We use it in chemistry class sometimes
They are called fume hoods.
MysticFoxDabs 01 yep a fume hood. We have those in science class
The juxtaposition of someone so simple somewhere so complex was hilarious.
@Pro Get fucked
Mr. Black, what's our reading for tonight again?
"Ive watched all three seasons of rick and morty, don't fuck with my IQ retards"
.Mrblack. i am so smart u understood this is radioactive stuff though
Idiot !
9:14 that scared the shit out of me XD
ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴅmɪɴ ᴀɴmᴀᴛɪoɴ Coming Soon i dropped my phone xD
Same

is that an iPhone 4s on the desk at 10:35 ?
i now see it's an ink pad, thanks guys!
Daaamn maybe it is
Looks like a phone..
Edit; I was being sarcastic -_-
Looks like a notepad
Ellisha ._. I hope that is sarcasm
Yes, yes it is
He wasent alone there was somebody next to him
that was his friend John,
From Exploring with John
Svenator - at the beginning of the video he claims to be alone, but now that you mention it definitely looks and sounds like John.
09:16 We found keys to this place 👀
true, bit strange not to mention that to be together, its definitely john at 12:17
He actually says *we* quite a few times, I just don't understand, why be deceiving about having someone with you?
4:20
Josh almost let the f bomb slip out! xD
Josh always pushing the limits!
Evert thought about bringing a Geiger counter with you? Just for fun.
Decommissioned reactors are always scrubbed clean. In fact due to the shielding of the reactor, there's less radiation inside than outside.
Leaving radioactive materials in a place so easily accessed would mean anyone could steal it and make a dirty bomb. Hence why places holding nuclear materials are so heavily guarded.
You are correct, they do scrub them, but they don't always get all the hot particles left behind. Especially in a plant that large that has been running for long periods of time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't pick up some hot particles on his shoes and packed them home.They shouldn't be hot enough to hurt anything though.
If this location is in NY , then this facility was only ran for basically a day at about 5% power and then shutdown and completely decommissioned. Although there was once nuclear fuel in the facility there is no harm of radiation there. The Proper People did a killer video there and show the actual fuel pool and how it has been scraped clean of any contamination. Also you can see the top of the reactor and inside of it.
10:50 at this moment you recorded the reactor heart. In working those little "butons" will appear light and will show the reactor's heart needles (uranium which is in use)... Thank me later
What do you mean dude?
All those little squares are lights which coresponds with every reactor's needle.
Basically, that's nuclear core monitoring system.
Indeed, exactly
Go to the catacombs in france
J.R win production he's been there already He has a video up for it
Liane O'Brien wait really? I'll have to find that then
Lol
yyeeeaaaahhhhh thats a bit harder to sneak into
This place almost gives me Half-Life/Black Mesa vibes with all the industrial pipes and all. Super cool man.
If I went there I would have moved EVERY SINGLE BUTTON
Bad idea maybe
how? they wouldnt leave a live reactor just chilling there. plus you cna see its not connected to anything and that its destroyed
*Man accidentally revives old nuclear reactor and causes a nuclear explosion*
You mean pushed?
Just a weird choice of words, I imagine you taking the button off and moving it to a different location randomly.
You have more balls than I do going into a dark ass nuclear power plant alone.
He wasn't alone.. Plenty of times you see his shadow as he's walking forward.. 9:01, he's going through a door and you see his back lit shadow from behind.. Someone else was with him
OfficiaI U.S.M.C yeah he said he was alone but he wasn’t. Watch 12:14
The little liar wasn't alone...
*walks in the core assumes its safe cuz theres no rods*
I was thinking the same thing. He was getting dosed the whole time. How much I don't know depends how much they cleaned up but no matter how much it's cleaned up there's gonna be particulate matter in different quantities and he said it had a nuclear accident in 1979 which makes that 3 mile island. Not too smart but hey it's entertaining.
@@blacksmokerising47 this is not implying that he is at three mile island, a power plant that experienced a disaster in '79. He wouldn't get anywhere near three mile island as one of the reactors is still running and the one that isn't running still has stored nuclear fuel so security would be rather tight. Take a look at the carpark of three mile island on Google Maps to see how still open and busy the place is. He is at another island though that has decommissioned the power plant and cleaned it up. The power is still on because the turbines and generators that were powered by Nuclear boiling water reactor are still being used but now by gas boiling water.
When reactors ged decommissioned they remove any and all radioactive material from the power plant, not just the fuel but everything that emits radiation.
@@blacksmokerising47 watch the powerplant explore of the Proper People they had geigers with them and couldn't detect anything above base radiation the whole time i'm not saying this makes this one safe or the idea of going in there unprotected a good one but usually they do a perfect job at cleaning these places out it wouldnt be sitting abandoned and accessable like that if they didn't. Just my 2 cents
Now that i see the preasure chamber leading to the reactor im pretty certain its the same one the Proper People did
Video starts at 0:00 ur welcome
Martin Guerrero so helpful I couldn't find it!
Martin Guerrero lol
0:00
For me it starts before it begins at -0:00
primo
We have a nuclear power plant in my town near the sea. They have armed guards posted outside of it.
Are you talking about Sellafield?
that one has been rumoured to be dangerous.....
Fallout 4 be like
Cool Cat ik right!
Why don't you try exploring the catacombs of Paris
you must be new
Ray Kangoo no he has
CHA0T1C GAM1NG I know he has , I'm saying the dude that we replying to must be new
That’s not abandoned tho
12:14 I am almost scared for you. Uranium-235 has a half-life (meaning how long half of the radiation in the material to die down)
of >1,000,000 years! Yes, the fuel rods most likely have been taken out and thrown into waste management. But there is very high just of much higher radiation then a normal dose through out the building.
Its not ''>1,000,000'' years. The actual half life is 703,800,000 years. It decays in Alpha (about 4.679 MeV) Yes it is more than the background, but its alpha mode (decays in alpha particles.). Alpha is easy to block (just a sheet of paper.), but dangerous to inhale. And the longer half life is, the less of a trouble it is (example Np237.) The plant's state is a cold shutdown state, means the most of the nuclear fuel has been extracted So its not that radioactive as people think and overdramatize. " rip this dude he will die of radiation :(.'' and etc.
Correct me if im wrong.
yeah i do? .-.
Mr. Chernobyl i love you
Lunar Neptunian :D
Mr. Chernobyl I love you
Nice, very nice. Love to the places like this!!!
Best Regards from Gemany
3:05 touches knob ....
“I don’t even wanna Touch it just in case”
The Chernobyl incident happens literally from the wrong button being pressed
2:39 in the background some one is talking listen carefully !!!
Thats so creepy lmao
Oh shit I heard
He had friends with him.
As soon as I saw 1986 I knew you meant Chernobyl. That disaster had nothing sane about it. It was horrifying. Chernobyl, the worst nuclear disaster to ever happen on this planet.
switch boxes removed to prevent accidental start up of a decommissioned powerstation
How could you start up a plant that doesn't even have a reactor core? FFS.
doesn't have to have a core to start all the pumps & valves
Apparently you just know nothing about how a nuclear reactor works...
u dont, sure enaugh you can start the pumps, control the valves etc. you just cant start the reaction.
Good thing i brought my uranium with me then lol
come on people a dangerously radioactive site would not be kept unguarded or in anywhere near active service, nothing could be started, and furthermore people need to understand that nuclear power is not dangerous when the rules are fallowed (or simple common sense for that matter) let me explain what I mean
as was stated In the video there have been extremely few nuclear power accidents! And to bring attention to the incident in japan!
What made them think it was ok to continue operation of a nuclear power plant in the middle of a tusimai
Plus the geographic location of that particular plant was poorly selected
If oil rigs and refineries get shut down for hurricanes then why not nuclear power plants
I'll tell you why... they do! and those stobbern jackass's decided not to and look what happened!
When you don't fallow a safety regulation people can be hurt!!!
Next time Japan shut down the plant!
"I'm not gonna touch any buttons"
1 minute later
proceeds to touch buttons and flip switches
Well done, my friendxD
This power plant is called Three Mile Island
The question is how hasn't Josh died from radiation poisoning. And he's there alone it's like he's indestructible. Also entering the reactor was a really bad idea.
I also live next to a nuclear power plant that has been running for many years. I wonder if it will ever get abandoned.
Syphira The Dutch Angel Dragon he's stupid, you're also stupid
You do realise that the reactor chamber has been scrubbed of all residual radioactive materials, right? If it was still contaminated it would be under heavy guard, elsewise anyone could wander in and get materials to fabricate a dirty bomb.
12:16 I thought you said you were alone?
Logic Shotz i guess he went off on his own and then met up with whoever that was there?
Logic Shotz what i believed is that his friend john(exploring with john)is with him but they split up then later josh joins him
i like how he says i'm all by myself a lot of times and actually shows someone at like 12 min
I expected an echo voice coming towards him yelling "A NU CHEEKI BREEKI"
Congratulations!
You were radiated
Zotax hahaha lol
Lol
🤣
Hope he has some Radaway
i love the part that he said "and i am by my self here" when he found the "main control room" and after few minutes you can see that he is with his friend at 12:11
The chemicals in the air and the left over radiation are now absorbed into your skin... You sir are fixing the become a super hero
Look’s like in Portal 2!
Anime Panda Kinda. I liked the keyboard. It looks like from Old Aperture.
Kinda emotion to see once a work place that full of people get abandon .
50% Chance Of Radiation Sickness
The Long Island Power Authority finished decontaminating this place way back in 1995
Gettin triggered by the red dot
The blue one is ok.
11:19 This terminal requires 100 points in science to hack.
Josh please come to Romania! And go to Hoia Baciu forest! It's so scary in there!! Love you!!😘🐭
Great idea!
What is this forest about?
@Karig Hutje hoiabaciuforest ( dot ) com ;)
if i left all you commenters alone on a desert island with nothing but basic survival tools, how long before you could build a nuclear power plant?..................
HypersonicMonkeyBrains first off, u wont, theres no way,
Second, it wont be possible
25 mins
Depends on if you let them start tribes and train the common wildlife in the area xD
You couldn’t. Not with basic survival tools.
That’s like saying go ahead and repair a whole car with a toothpick.... ain’t happening
what is that song you used in the video. the one that starts somewhere at 9:34. i want to know the name of it
0:53 I thought theres a man without head in white tshirt
1:13 I'm by myself
12:17 other guy in the picture, talking to another guy. Josh you are a freaking liar dude, that's what you are.
he probably meant at that moment his friend was porably a other place in there
@@eliasnikolaivonheimtrondse4424 People like Hamoudi dont wanna hear the truth, only complain complain complain! Not worth ur time! (: 🤙🏽
@@patson420 what you call the truth, I really don't wanna hear indeed. I know pop-up characters like you feel entitled to comment on everything, but I'm giving a flying flamingo of what your opinion is.
This kid is so heated
Some people are so stupid
For all the people asking about a geiger counter It's called a personal dosimeter. And also this abandoned power plant probably never had fuel inside its reactor core. Kind of like the abandoned power plant out on Long Island that never got completed. Most nuclear power plants that are decommissioned if not all will be manned until disassembled due to the fact that the radioactive waste is kept on site until it could be moved.
You should come to county Cork in Ireland there is a insane asylum in the city and it's the longest building in Ireland and one of the longest asylums in Europe it's called our lady's hospital or St. Kevin's/St. Ann's I also think there are two asylums in Cork right next door to it. It looks like something out of Hollywood movie it used to hold 500 patients and you can look up the rest there is also an abandoned church hall just up the road
One tip it used to be full of langers
now it's burnt down . always use to go there when I was a young one
even though that was like 5 years ago 😂😂
Maur Mcconville there's always our lady's hospital next to it
I didn’t know that and I’m from cork😂
Fun drinking game: drink every time he says abandoned nuclear power plant
"These walls fuc*ing insaaaa-
These walls are freaking insane." XD I love this guy!
It's like in black ops 3 the city being left a lone for years
Nova I thought of it being more black ops 1 with the mission where weaver got his eye stabbed.
3:50 lol "electronical"
If you enter an abandoned nuclear power plant, you should not only bring a Geiger counter to help you avoid hotspots, you should also have a particulate respirator, safety glasses, a hard hat, gloves, and a disposable tyvek suit. Duct-tape the gaps in your wrists and ankles to keep dust out. Then, it’s perfectly safe, provided you watch your dose and keep exposures brief.
Just a heads up, you might wanna go to the doctor cause you don't know if there was gasses leaking that you were inhaling or chemicals. Just a heads up
Notification squad where you at ???
Rival Tempz !!
jordan carrington ayeee

3:31 Who leaves an abandoned power plant just sitting here...
Well Josh...1. You can't just pick the site up an move it
2. You can't just demolish it
3. Even an abandoned plant has use.
9:27 he in the same room as the one "with the keys and the builder's hat"
The ProperPeople did this awhile ago
Not gonna lie. ProperPeople's video was FAR better than this..
I knew I recognised that high voltage humming sound .
@@QuackItsQuinn It's exactly the same! In the main control room there is the shoe which you can see in The Proper Peoples video :)
It’s actually not uncommon for the power to be on. For example Chernobyl still has power
"Damn now where am I?" *camera is pointed at the table he was literally just at with all the keys and hard hat
"With a geiger counter in my hand, I'm goin' out to stake me some government land."
Who knows what song that's from?
Hint: It's good.
uranium fever has gone n got me down xD
Thanks XD
I wouldn't consider the Three Mile Island incident a MAJOR disaster. Definitely not that serious and no radiation leaked outside the compound.
We don't even talk about it here in PA, it's pretty much been forgotten
Outlast 3
Yeah can be great
The thumbnail looks like the thieves guild basement in skyrim lmao
Graven Clyde 😂😂😂
Braver than me going into a reactor however your telling the buildings story. Tyvm Josh
