      It not really all that dangerous unless you actually go into the plant, roughly equivalent to the exposure you get while flying, you can even take a tour of pripyat and chernobyl. And radiation causes radiation sickness and cancer. Not mutations.

      So, hypothetically, we could mount modified kalashnikov rifles onto drones to heavily damage it, and potentially destroy it? Probably missing something, but maybe it’s possible.

      Except, it's total BS. Corium is no longer "extremely hot" as he says. You can find some interviews with a guy who went inside the Sarcophagus. And there are articles on the issue. The Elephant's Foot is slightly hotter than surrounding area, but it's not melting. The New Safe Confinement was built to deconstruct the Sarcophagus and remove all the radioactive waste. They are already deconstructing it. So, don't worry.

      Artur Korneyev wasnt the first one to take a photograph of the elephants foot though. he inspected it a decade later I think, when the radiation was already weakened. i read some articles saying months after the incident, some liquidators were able to explore the area and poked a camera around a corner to take a photo of what was causing the big radiation spike, and it was indeed the elephants foot. no records show who these liquidators were and it was understandable, since by that time they didn't even know how many workers were deployed or volunteered overall. one documentary stated that those who took photographs of it first, eventually died of damage caused by the extreme amounts of radiation of being exposed to the elephants foot.

      As you can see, the photograph of the Elephant’s Foot is grainy, distorted, and dotted with strange marks of overexposure. This is not the result of poor camera quality, nor some Instagram filter, it’s due to radiation messing with how the film developed.
      Remarkably, Korneyev is believed to still be alive. Although, perhaps surprisingly, he suffers from cataracts and other health problems due to his frequent run-ins with heavy radiation at Chernobyl.

      Well, the video is highly misleading. I cringed so much when watching it.
      Elephant's foot is not nearly as radioactive as it was 40 years ago. This is not a most frequented place in Chernobyl, however the background radiation levels sit around 20-30 mSv\hour which is not THAT high - if you stay there for as long 24 hours you will barely reach the levels of mild radiation sickness..
      Furthermore, the Foot is not melting through anything. It's temperature has fallen to acceptable levels as early as the first month after explosion. By know it is exactly as hot as the foundation of your home.
      but of course, I understand that shock content generates more views..

      In the reactor core, superheated uranium was used to cause immense heat and steam to power wind turbines for power and electricity. A very efficient way for providing power by the way. However, in this case, the graphite rods were used to position themselves inside the reactor to provide an equilibrium of power and properly dispersed heat. These graphite rods were not properly lowered into the reactor at the time of testing, and in turn it caused a massive flux in heat which actually melted the steam pipes beneath the core. This cocktail of steam, water and pressure caused a massive explosion releasing all of the contained graphite and uranium infused rods out of the core and radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere.

    4:12 people do in fact know what happened to the worker, he's fine. That is Artur Kornayev, the director of the new safe confinement project. He visited the elephants foot hundreds of times in the late 90s because at that point it's radiation decreased to where you could walk past it, take a picture and then leave the room without any ill effects. And he's not even standing next to it, what you see is the reflection of him in a mirror that was used to take the picture from around the corner, that's why his legs aren't touching the ground and you can see through him.

    I was curious if these unlucky photographers survived this encounter. And as it turns out one of the guys that was standing literally right next to it along with a pipe it was near lived and is alive to this day. His name is Artur Korneyev. He’s in his 60s. I couldn’t find any other information on if the other guys survived but I’m sure they escaped like how Artur did but they might of died a few days later, or maybe died on the spot. Who knows? But it’s amazing to see that at least one guy survived. This picture I am talking about is at 4:16

    For those wondering why we don't just remove the Elephant's Foot before it hits said groundwater:
    Russia found a Nazi prototype tank in the aftermath of WWII called the Maus tank. The Maus weighed over 100 tons, and even though the Maus is a vehicle that is made to move, they still found it much easier to just build a museum around it at it's present location instead of relocating it to a museum. Now imagine how hard it would be to move a subterranean wad of ultradense and ultrahot metal that is doing it's very best to actively kill you. It's likely going nowhere. (Except down, of course.)

      SleepySkull and if you think the soviets didnt own germany after ww2 then your forgetting about the berlin wall, east germany, the warsaw pact, and the iron courtain. Soviet union could do whatever they wanted with their half of germany for nearly half a century.

    Thanks for the great video. Although one thing is incorrect in it - the map of Ukraine. It shows Crimea as russian territory but it is officially recognised as Ukrainian (including by Russia itself in 1993). Please correct the map in this video and some others where you show the map of Russia including annexed Crimea... unless you support russian aggression against Ukraine. Thanks.
