I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki are worse. The biggest issue isn't Chernobyl, it's all of the towns there that had so much radioactive refuse dumped into those nearby lakes. They covered the open reactor and I believe it and the entire facility continued to produce electricity until the early 2000s. Im not exactly sure of what the levels of radiation would do, but the graphite I would imagine would cause terrible burns. The reaction was under control, it was a water pressure issue that caused the explosion (a steam pressure explosion) and it opening obviously released radiation and super hot graphite. They would certainly not be accountable to anyone at a local government level.Excellent - thank you for that, and the clarification of what I was missing. This is similar to what they did with the girl scientist character - she represents an amalgamation of the scientific community of SU from that time.įurthermore, people in charge of the plant (Bryukhanov and Fomin) reported directly to Moscow, bypassing any local government or party members. I believe they address this in the podcast after the show. Since this is not a documentary, he took artistic liberties with his representation of the denial and cover-up that was present at that local government level. The crisis meeting with Master Luwin was made up because the writer in charge wanted to present a summary of the local government's reaction to the Chernobyl crisis in a way that would be easily digestible by the viewers. Well, that film was shot of a helicopter crashing beside a reactor on October 6, 1986, months after the fire had gone out, months after this operation had finished. A thing I was asked about the other day was, “I was disappointed to see that you didn’t report about the helicopter that crashed during the bombing operation.” You’ve seen the film on YouTube. It can cause chemical explosions and they are nowhere close to strong compared to nuclear ones.Įxactly.
It's dangerousely radioactive but it's not going to cause thermonuclear reaction ie.
What they didnt mention yet, but i reckon they will, it wasnt the only danger of having an explosion, the water table under the reactor was also enough to cause a smaller but still devastating expolosion, but they prevented that (won't say how, the third episode will cover that).I suggest reading about fusion before claiming you can get fusion with molten nuclear fuel flowing about. The "lava" called corium (that's where khorium in wow comes from most likely) would have superheat the thousands of cubic metres of water in the holding tanks under the reactor (it was an approximate of ~20,000 metric ton of water in reality, compared to the 7,000 tons they mention in the show), thus causing a thermonuclear explosion, and eject the contents of all the 4 reactor cores into the air, thus rendering half of the continent into borderline unhabitable (think it as of a 'yellow zone' of the tiberium poisoning in C&C).
