The chernobyl reactor was literally busted wide open and spewed radiation for a considerable amount of time. It happened so fast that it was already too late and the core melted down into the basement of the building. The clean up effort took a few years to complete The fukushima meltdown took 24 hours for the first reactor building to pop off. And the meltdowns are all contained in the reactor vessels. And want to stress this particular point: all you can do is contain it. You can't move the stuff due to how radioactive it is... not for a couple thousand years.

That’s from the comic book you read out in your tree fort.

The RBMK reactors had multiple automatic shutdown devices, which tripped repeatedly during the testing----plant operators overrode the safety devices each time. Had they left the safety devices alone, the plant would've shut down on it's own and everything would've been fine

It's not over, though. The corium at Chernobyl is at least cold and quietly decaying. At Fukushima, the cores haven't even been located yet, and they are still pumping four tons of water an hour into each of them to prevent further meltdowns and possible criticalities. The water gets pumped into the top of the reactor vessel and pumped back out through the building basements. A lot of things could still go wrong. They could have prevented the meltdowns by pumping in seawater, but no one wanted to make the decision to permanently destroy them. They could have prevented the hydrogen explosions by venting it through the chimney instead of inside the buildings, but that would have meant reporting the release and no one wanted to embarrass the company that way. The people in charge of Chernobyl on the night didn't understand the dangers. The man in charge was a turbine expert, and the operators were told how to run the reactor but no theory about how it worked. Fukushima was a different story. The people in charge had the information available but chose not to act on it until it was too late.

Hell, there's plenty of examples, but I think the best and most recent is simply compare the HBO series from 2019 to the Russian-made Chernobyl Abyss movie from 2021. They actually interviewed survivors and others who were there for the actual disaster regarding both and pretty much all of them agreed the HBO version was more accurate, the Russian version ignored the government's responsibility for the accident, and the events of the accident still haunt many of them to this day (hence why they hate seeing the Russian version coming off as disrespectful about it).

No shark. Boating accident”

It’s really too soon to say which disaster was worse as neither is ‘over’. Neither plant has been decommissioned yet, they require constant work just to prevent further disasters and this will certainly continue to be the case for the next 3-4 decades, possible longer. There are huge volumes of highly radioactive material in both places and if anything goes seriously wrong, at any point over the next few decades at these sites, more radiation could be released. As bad as both disasters were, they were still both mild in terms of what that could have been, if the radiation hadn’t been eventually contained. Such disasters cannot be measured or compared with a short term lens. Once this stuff is out of the ground it stays around a LONG time.

Both are just temporary "disaasters". What about Chelyabinsk-40 or Mayak Chemistry Works? Is that permanent threat, still harming issue! No one propagandist talking about... Why? Is in Russia, why even the US storytellers can't shows up with a detailed content of contamination of the WORLD?

Most of the dangerous stuff has likely already decayed and there will be little left at all in another decade.

Fukushima as the energy company knew about the dangers of a tsunami (or a rather powerful storm surge) could do to the plant yet instead of taking action asap sat on their laurels. More over there was another nuclear plant around the same age as Daiichi closer to the epicenter and it took both the quake and the tsunami like a champ without losing any power or suffering a meltdown, more over Fukushima Daini suffered as much damage and yet was able to avoid a meltdown. Chernobyl on the other hand was more to do with human mismanagement more than anything else as even if supervisors had cracked down on the questionable and reckless antics the on-site staff did on a regular basis they wouldn’t have been able to prevent some from doing so.

Mike, good video! I think it's too bad we have a scale that classifies these two disasters as the same level. An interesting observation is that Fukushima automatically shut down during the earthquake. If it had not, there would have been no need for the diesel generators in the first place. I don't believe the earthquake damaged the reactors enough to need to shut down. I'm not saying the shut down was a bad decision, just how things worked out, it would have been better to not shut down in this one instance. And put the generators on top of the hill!!!

The cleanup for Chernobyl, along with the cost of the Soviet-Afghanistan War, was so expensive both financially and politically that the ruling communist party of the Soviet Union could no longer sustain its forced alliance with Eastern European nations ... so, Gorbachev dissolved it. In a sense, Chernobyl was way worse than Fukushima in that it contributed to the demise of an entire nation encompassing 287 million people. But, before saying that was a good thing for the West, keep in mind that the current Russian invasion of Ukraine is an after-effect of the USSR being dissolved without the buy-in of hardliners in Russia. So, now it's costing Western nations a great deal as well.

You're right on the first account. Gorbachev said that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was a direct consequence of going broke trying to deal with Chernobyl. In 1989 or so, Reagan asked him to tear down the Berlin Wall. They told Gorbachev that NATO would "not move one inch" towards Russia's borders. Then as soon as the Soviet's left, NATO moved right in to East Germany. As the Soviet Union was almost bankrupt at that time, they lost other satellite countries as well, and NATO moved into them in turn. Finally they were down to Ukraine, which is a mixture of ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. In the same way that JFK would start a war with the Soviet Union over missiles on its doorstep in Cuba (or if Mexico or Canada had Soviet missiles aimed at it), Russia now has the spectre of NATO weapons aimed at it from Ukraine. By 2014, Victoria Nuland had meddled and pumped millions of dollars into NGO's in Ukraine, enough to destabilize and fell the elected government there, so NATO and the West could gain a foothold. The Donbas and Crimea consisted of many ethnic Russians who wanted nothing to do with the new regime set up by Victoria Nuland. In the case of Crimea, Russia knew if it left matters bide, NATO warships would be in Sevastopol before the year was out. And they would have been, as the West's intention all along was to destabilize Russia itself. Since they offered the inhabitants a referendum to join Russia and as most were ethic Russian, they voted to do so. The majority of people in the Donbas wanted to join Russia, as well, at that time. But Putin held them off, saying they had to try to get along with the Ukrainian government. Thus the Minsk Accord was established by Western nations and the Ukraine with the Donbas. But the Ukrainians took away the rights of people in the Donbas to speak or teach their native Russian in schools and began a bombardment that lasted 8 years, until Russia had had enough and decided to invade to help the people of the Donbas, recognized them and allowed them to join Russia. Angela Merkel let the cat out of the bag recently that the Minsk Accords were all a ploy to gain time for NATO to arm Ukraine for its proxy war with Russia. So all that has happened is because of NATO breaking its agreement with Russia not to encroach on its doorstep. I have friends who are Ukrainian and I have friends who are Russian, and I feel for ALL of them, as they all pawns in a Western bid to destabilize and make regime change in Russia, and that's ALL this is about. Scott Ritter, the arms inspector who said there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before Bush went in, and who was a weapons inspector in Russia to help with the strategic arms reduction treaty in the 90's, covers this pretty thoroughly.

These folks are used to hard living, with alcoholism leading to low life expectancies among adult males. Being far from Europe, they tend to be anti-European and view Europe historically as a resource-rich region prime for raiding parties as far back as the days of Genghis Khan. These raiders would always have the safety of retreating back east through the Eurasian Steppes, where no fair-weather European general would dare chase after them. That was then. Today, this is the region where most of Russia's gas & oil and manufacturing industries are located, so economically, these hardliners have quite a bit of sway in Moscow ... apparently enough to quell the pro-European Russians living in western Russian metropolitan areas, such as Saint Petersburg, named after Peter the Great, who made that city Russia's capital under his reign. 15 years into his reign as tsar, Peter disguised himself and worked for 18 months as a carpenter in the shipyards in Amsterdam, learning shipbuilding, which he would then use to modernize Russia's navy for a future successful war against Sweden by which he acquired land was able to expand Russia west towards Europe. Not only was Peter pro-European with and had European advisors, but he also made French a required language among the Russian aristocracy as he aggressively modernized (i.e., Europeanized) and reformed Russia. So, there has historically been a back-and-forth between hardliners and pro-European factions within Russia.

I agree that Chernobyl was initially a far worse disaster, but despite how anyone might think about the Soviets, they did what they needed to do in order to completely mitigate the problem within 7 months. And yes, it took billions of Euros to to create a better solution over 30 years later, but the disaster was shut down. At Fukushima, the disaster continues to this day. It has not been liquidated, and it continues to barf radiation into the world. While some will tell you that the Pacific Ocean is diluting the waste from Fukushima, the current plan seems to assume that this is indefinite (which it is not, hence why they have released radioactive water slowly over several phases over the years). The cores are still melting with no idea or real plan for cleanup for the next 100 years. So yeah; while Chernobyl was initially more dangerous and deadly, Fukushima will eventually become far worse for the entire world.

@@Mike-Bell Rational measurements? How much of the core was released into the environment in both Chernobyl and Fukushima? Not just the explosion but, especially in Fukushimas case, also water contaminated with nano hot particles of fuel fragments and water soluble transuranics and radionuclides?

@@Mike-Bell Mike you do know that Fukushima is leaking water from the containment vessel into the basements where it is leaking into the ground and the Pacific Ocean don't you? Estimates of 300 tons of radioactive water per day are leaking from Fukushima which contains exactly the same radionuclide list they are attempting to remove with the ALPS. 65+ radionuclides are in that water Mike so how much of the corium has escaped from the reactor after over 4300 days of leaking?

Hard to compare (as yet). I think the jury is still out on the extent of contamination currently flowing into the Pacific Ocean at Fukushima. Time may tell.

Fish caught near Fukushima is being sold and eaten. It is regularly tested for radiation and comes up safe so that is more than enough evidence that the ocean is not poisoned or unsafe. Contamination of the Pacific is fear, not science.

I have to agree with you. I don't eat anything from the Pacific ocean. They test for contamination, but there are many radionuclide contaminants from a nuclear meltdown, not only Iodine 131 and Cesium 134 and 137 which they over-emphasize to the exclusion of the others (and then they often compare it to the potassium in bananas as to its side effects). And each of these have a decay chain and decay into something else BEFORE they become stable, and nobody talks about that. And now they're going to release more contaminated water into the Pacific? All I can say is that the last two or three years have proven the "medical establishment" are very willing to lie to us about the risks of certain things. Dr. "Fausty" didn't mind telling us NOT to wear masks and then conceded that he lied to make sure there were enough masks for the doctors and nurses who needed them. I understand why he did that, but he still LIED. How much more so an industry worth BILLIONS that is reliant upon people buying their products, and on scientists reaching the "proper consensus". Well, you all enjoy your "slightly radioactive" fish on behalf of me. I'll stick to stuff from the Atlantic for now. Not that its all much better, because the Atlantic is highly contaminated as well, but probably will be better for a time than what's in the Pacific. Where I live now in the USA, we have PFAS in the water, forever chemicals, and they've been downplayed as well. I was a fisherman for years off Atlantic Canada and our fish were some of the best in the world. But I won't touch anything from the radioactive cesspool that is now the Pacific. Nobody knows the long-term consequences of ingesting even small amounts of any of this stuff into your system. How can anyone say it doesn't increase your risk of cancer or other diseases over time? Time WILL tell, but the people who may die from it will be played down as from other causes as "correlation does not equal causation" - and the people who may or may not have lied about it, will be long gone and any lessons will be forgotten. That's our history, unfortunately... destined to have the 5 second memory of that fish in "Finding Nemo". :)

Obviously, contaminated water is a problem, but recall: The cores didn't actually blow and say "Hello world!" HAD that happened, I doubt the entirety of mainland Japan would be safe to live in even to this day. Hell, the East coast of China probably wouldn't be safe either. 4 reactors... Not just 1.

Fukushima never killed anybody for radiation. Not dumping anything harmful in the sea either. Chernobyl did kill 50-100 people from radiation. It’s not about how much bling you saw last n TV.
