If I remember correctly, the "fun fair" wasn't even open. It was to open the day of the explosion. I was 10 when this happened and can still remember the newscasts for days and days about this.

Fun fact in 2022 at the start of the Ukraine war Russian troops occupied the area around the site and dug trenches everywhere especially in the surrounding forests what they didn’t know was these areas were contaminated some of the most radioactive ground on earth within a few weeks the troops began to get sick when the truth came out the Russians hastily evacuated the site the Ukrainians reoccupied the area and carefully avoided the contaminated areas.

Partially true. Ukrainians who came there entered the same trenches and built their own too.

That's what various "most trusted" newsagents like british bullshit corporation would say. But in reality ukrainian regime with help of foreign sponsors was developing nuclear weapons over there. Sarcophague did provide ideal cover from unwanted eyes and allowed nuclear experiments without fear of radiation detection. When attack started, ukrainians started to evacuate all valuable machinery and equipment. They planned to use airport, but that failed and they transported by road (remember Bucha). Note that second russian target was ukrainian Zaporozhia nuclear power plant, where fuel for experiments were manufactured. One day terrible crimes of ukrainian regime will be declassified.

They dug in and disturbed highly radioactive soil. Could not be any more stupid , to not even have geiger counters and to not take it serious will serve them right

Did someone count the amount of times the voiceover and people in the documentary said that they built the arch a distance from the reactor for safety reasons? Its at least 4 times.

They wore lead vests, and still they all died. The paper suits were at Fukushima. The Japanese care less about their people than Russians!

My grandad worked at chapelcross nuclear power plant in southwest Scotland he said the alarms kept going off and everyone was chasing their tales trying to find out what was going on and of course nobody knew about Chernobyl at the time because of the media suppression

So they keep saying half arches but it seems to me that each one is an arch in itself, being the whole of the arch itself. The only half would be that it is individually half of the structure rather than half of the arch. Or am I just nuts?

This story was proven to be false. Yes they dug some trenches but the ChNPP staff took measurements afterwards turns out to get only your anual powerplant worker limit dosis u had to spend 300 days in the trench. And even then you are far from contaminated. Also the suposed rise in radiaton the area sensors picked up wasnt because they drove their vehicles thru contaminated land. The sensors picked up the communication equipment the russians had with them. It is obvious the media just wanted to make allot of clickbait articles and they arent interested in proper fact finding.

@@kindnuguz This story is now proven to be false, the media was more interested in making clickbait articles than reporting actual facts. Yes the Russians dug some trenches, after they left the ChNPP personnel took radiation measurements of said trenches and found that if someone would have stayed for more than 300 days in the trench they only would have received the equivalent of a powerplant workers annual limit which is far from being contaminated. Also the radiation sensors placed over the area did indeed pick up a rise of radiation which was the result of the Russians army communication equipment not stirred up dust from the surrounding lands. Also the hospital where the media reported the contaminated Russian soldiers were brought to doesn't even treat radiation sickness.

He had the experience and he had the competence. Was he arrogant? Yes. But it was not enough to cause the explosion. What he did lack, was knowledge. Soviet "secretomania" prevented the issues to be known to Diatlov and the rest of the operators(and other nuclear scientists). They knew what they were dealing with, but were lead to think that the AZ5 will save them. Well it did not.

Could they fill the arch with gravel or sand or, better yet, cement, in a hundred years, to keep it contained for longer? I understand they want to study the decay of the elephant's foot and the materials around it, but surely, in a century, they will have learned what they can and encasing it in cement would make it safe for a lot longer.

Good observation. The containment structures of the reactor buildings and the control rooms of the CANDU reactors were built to withstand the impact of a 747 jet. This double walled rain shield and radiation containment structure is neither. I doubt the Russians are interested in spreading the radiation around. Their Belarusian cousins certainly wouldn't be interested.

One of the things that has really pissed me off is the way Pripyat was stripped of everything even vaguely sellable. The citizens evaced with a suitcase full per person. Their homes were left with everything, as were the shops and offices. Fast forward 20 years and people going there post videos of empty stores and apartment. All that radio active material is now in the Ukraine market economy. Thousands died, but some mutts are willing to risk their lives stealing what they could.

So in 2116 they will have to build another since this one will only last 100 years. I’ll be dead by then but the future people I hope gets it done.
