Rufus Chucklebutty - Radiation is dangerous when it is received in high doses. Unfortunately that is not the case here. The radiation they are receiving is in milisieverts, not sieverts. In some spots, it reached 1 milisievert of gama radiation, which is 0.001 sieverts. But you have to take into account that their dosimeters read 1 milisievert per HOUR. They were there no longer than 30 minutes. To put their dosage into perspective, natural background radiation is 1.5 - 3.5 milisieverts per YEAR. So they received a dose of about 6 months worth of radiation. An amount that is in-term safe and which the body can recover from. Not the several lifetimes worth of radiation that the engineers and firefighters received directly after the incident. Hope this educated you a little bit.

Irishpride Sorry, something you said is right BUT they increase without any doubts the possibility to develop long term damages. The stochastic effect is not so easy to quantify, to define, to forecast. They probably under estimate this risk and in 10-20 years there’s a bigger possibility to develop a Leucemia, a linfoma or a thyroid cancer . And after all for what reason? To play with your geiger????? Also, a woman increase the possible risks regarding her future children...Lots of weird things about these people...

Is there a reason that Carl is measuring in Roentgens? I thought those units were largely obsolete and replaced by the metric Sievert.

@Carl_Willis

7 жыл бұрын

The Roentgen unit is easy to measure electronically, because it is a measure of electronic charge released in air. Many instruments still directly read exposure in Roentgens or some division thereof. To relate this to absorbed dose units (e.g. rad or Gray), some knowledge of the radiation energy spectrum and absorption medium (if different from air) is required. To convert to an operational dose equivalent like Sv or rem, further assumptions are required. As a gross rule of thumb, owing to mathematical coincidence, 1 R exposure often produces an absorbed dose close to 1 rad (10 mGy) and an effective dose of about 1 rem (10 mSv). The SI units are becoming widely used, but there is no special unit in this system for exposure, so the Roentgen will probably continue to be used.

Getting the facts, seeing how high or low dose rates are and some exploring in general.Some people have moved back but as I last heard many homes are still abandoned and nature is taking over some parts there too. I dont expect bionerd to do this nor was I implying it. Just wishful thinking out loud heh. I mean im still happy to see Chernobyl videos here from time to time.

it's not like we set up camp between those parts there, we just stayed for a short amount of time. to put it into perspective, it was never possible for me to receive a yearly dose worth of a pilot or flight attendant within a year of visiting chernobyl and being exposed to other sources of radiation. my whole body exposure still remains way below the acceptable dose levels for professional exposure, with are 20 mSv / year.

Ye people who like to say that the background radiation doses in the Zone are now already perfectly fine to live clearly dont know what they are talking about. For sure in places that were properly decontaminated (like Pripyat) aside from very few "hotspots" background radiation isnt that much higher from what is considered to be "normal" background radiation...in my understanding it ranges on average from 2 to 10 times higher than normal background radiation. But then you have hotspots like this in the zone that are still showing over 1millisievert per hour readings, which is clearly considered to be unsafe for long term exposure, although ofc you would have to be in close contact with such hotspots for longer periods of time to really get into any real danger of increased risk of cancer, but still....no nation would be willing to take that risk of letting people live inside exclusion zone, especially children where such hotspots are still present and lots of radioactive soil, contaminted vehicles and such are buried in the ground. Although ofc Ive heard that the Ukrainian government cant really do anything about the elderly woman who insist living their last years in the place where they used to live their entire lives until the accident happened.

how are you doing? been wondering about you! glad you're OK!

oh wow I wish I could check out that kinda place with you. it looks so cool! also yeah that does look like a turbine piece

there's something about abandoned modern places. rather post apocalyptic that really interests me, places like Chernobyl, battleship island etc maybe one day Fukashima too. thank you for these wonderful videos. i am from the UK and would love to visit Ukraine one day

What if we melt down the metal parts in furnace? Do they still have radiation after melting?

bionerd23 why does there appear to be some much concern with radiation here yet in fukushima there doesn't the same level of interest or concern, no big containment shelters there?

2:43 ‘we’re measuring 8 to 9 miliroentgens per hour right here’ Those are rookie numbers, but still kinda high...not great, not terrible

You guys need a radiological "flir" camera to find those hot spots.
