This is the reason for the break in the golden corridor at that point, on which the guide refered to. The "SKALA" room at 05:52 was not connected to Unit #1 & #2, they had a separate room at stage nr. 1 building.

The Soviets were very advanced in terms of theoretical nuclear physics, and they built graphite reactors that were 3x larger than anything built in the west. But in a country wheee there is zero incentive to weld up a set of stairs straight, it’s no wonder people in the west freaked when they got a view of Soviet state of the art power plant design. (No containment) Unit #4 was 2 years old when it blew up.

Absolutely amazing video! My father worked in the nuclear power industry for over 35 years for Combustion Engineering, than ABB and than Westinghouse when they bought them out. I’ve always been fascinated by how under utilized nuclear power is in the United States as most people automatically equate a nuclear power plant to a worst case scenario when in all reality any NRC certified plant is extremely safe with multiple redundant systems and failsafes, my fathers job was creating these systems and testing them. That being said the RBMK reactor was a horrible design with many flaws and the way the Soviets almost were able to almost cover up the disaster blew me away. When you look at the official death toll it’s horrible compared to the reality, take all of the liquidators into account. Can you imagine shoveling extremely radioactive material off a roof? If it wasn’t for some truly selfless and brave scientists and civilians the aftermath could have been exponentially worse.

Unit 1 and 3 were shut down by a deal with the EU. Unit 2 was shut down after a turbine fire that destroyed the pumps. Unit 1 was active till 1996, Unit 2 till 1991, and Unit 3 till 2000.

No, it’ll likely take the rest of the 100 yrs (life of the confinement dome) to close everything down, clean it all up and even consider tearing it all down. If it’s not all done by 2117, they’ll have to build another Trillion$$$ dome to cover it again just to try to keep the radiation inside.
