Fun fact, the whole 'unofficial honorary name' that the Soviet government gave the plant was actually rather common to see. You see it a lot in the Navy with ships getting honorary names based on performance or technological advancement.

I'm studying graphic design and my painting professor gave us an assignment to paint city landscape. I thought it would be nice to capture an abandoned city and immediately remembered about Pripyat. I used to be (probably still with little breaks) obsessed with Chernobyl disaster and this inspired me to again listen about it - this is how I found Your channel. I thought you might be interested in this story, so I decided to share it and say thank you :D I'm glad to hear Your great content while doing this assignment.

I'm happy that you enjoy listening to my content! It's really great to see people interested in the subject and liking what I make about it. :)

Just a minor correction: Tarkovsky's film, _Stalker_, was made in 1979; and the novel on which it is based, _Roadside Picnic_, was published in 1972. So, both predate the Chernobyl disaster. However, I love the film as well and it is still very relevant to what happened at Chernobyl in 1986. Regarding the film: One of the themes of the film has to do with how humankind has the ability to produce technologies, but later end up at the mercy of such technologies. Atomic energy seen as humankind's ability to tinker with the building blocks of nature, hence its new capacity to play god, and the inevitable disaster to which this will lead... this has been an inspiration to a lot of literary and artistic output--especially, of dystopian character. In this sense, the film is valuable in the context of Chernobyl, and perhaps, it may even be seen as somewhat prophetic--but I admit, this latter point might be pushing it. Regarding the novel: The premise of the story in the novel is somewhat different, and it is outright and explicitly stated. The events are presented with the premise of an extraterrestrial visit. (In the film, this is only a possible explanation for the "zone".) However, the plot is set after these extraterrestrial visitors leave. The story has to do with the technology they leave behind and their effects. Yet, even with this, a lot of what I said about the film's relevance to Chernobyl would also be true in the case of the novel. That Chernobyl Guy, please continue producing this content. I love it. Thank you.

Yippee, the remaster! Just a suggestion are you gonna do a detail review/bash bs that is in HBO series? Watching Kupniy vid on this was nice and entertaining however wanted him on actually going morenin detail before video went out back then

Thank you for your hard work!

Outstanding work

From what I’ve seen and read from multiple sources (that don’t reference each other btw) that the woodpecker also clicked audibly and people could hear it when standing in a certain proximity to it. That would also be likely since you can hear capacitors charging and the click when discharging when they get large enough.

Outstanding synopsis of everything relevant. Riveting. I hope your "minutes watched" numbers reflect this. 👏

perfect video for a saturday night

12:46 if you look on the left down side of the video you can see reactor 5 and 6 being build

not sure if you’ve covered this or not, but i watched a dramatisation film of the disaster that i can’t remember the name of. the main characters were a couple called Alya and Pasha i think. it was so moving

"The iceberg is also much larger" Always happy to learn more

Nobody real actually claim to see it; it was just made up for a movie and people treated it as real.

Yes, a remastered Iceberg! The first one was very good, but the voice audio was a bit lacking. Too bad it got taken down by YT. This new version is excellent, but there is a small error in Layer 1 with regard to Unit 4's number of fuel channels. Unit 4 is a second generation RBMK. The second generation RBMKs have 1661 fuel channels, and 211 control rods. The first generation RBMKs have 1693 fuel channels and 179 control rods. As a not-at-all nerdy hobby I study nuclear reactors, with a heavy emphasis on the RBMK. That's why it stood out to me. But it's all good. As to the Russian made "Chernobyl 1986" movie, I tried to watch it, but was unable to sit through the whole thing because it was utter rubbish. Good grief, what an insult to all the victims that movie was! Have to say, I really enjoy the content you put out, especially about the various people involved in the accident, and its aftermath. Very good info that you rarely hear/see anywhere else. Keep up the good work!

I need a full video on what parts of the insag-1 report are entirely fiction, why is it still being taught ?

There is also 2022 Russian TV series about the disaster. It has some espionage plot, but a large part is dedicated to the disaster and the plant operators, and also to the subsequent cleanup. It's also on KZread (it is called simply Chernobyl) and to me it seems to depict the people more realistically than the acclaimed HBO series, but I may be mistaken, as I found it only in Russian and I don't understand Russian, resp. I understand only the basic that everybody does.

It bounces around the earth , they had a large receiver in the Far East kinda near Vladivostok. I watched a good documentary on it.

Also 0:59 "1984 Unit 5 canteen explosion". Unit 5? No RBMK plant has Unit 5 operational.

So in 1992 there was a hydrogen leak in the turbine that resulted in fire. Why was there hydrogen in a turbine or generator? Normally when they need to use gas in a machine its Argon or nitrogen or other inert gas, sometimes helium. Why was there hydrogen? I cant think of any use for that. Most big motors are encased in mineral oil.

@thatchernobylguy2915

In very large generators (the ones at Chernobyl worked to produce up to 500 MW of electricity) hydrogen is often used because of its very good heat transfer capabilities. While most generators are fueled using trucks to deliver the hydrogen to the Power Plant, Chernobyl had a hydrolysis plant on site to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and use the hydrogen to supply the generators.

33:20 They developed radiation sickness because they dug the trenches to a depth of 8 feet, which went below the topsoil replacement in certain parts of the exclusion zone, as there were reported cases in Belarusian near Minsk. This was actually one of the reasons why they gave up on trying to hold ground in Northern Ukraine, as because of this they weren't properly able to dig in and secure their positions. I think the confusion comes from a related story where it was thought that Russian vehicles driving through the exclusion zone would kick up radioactive dust and increase radiation levels, which it didn't.

@@thatchernobylguy2915 Kursk Unit 1 was online since 1976 right? It takes about 7 years to build one unit, so maybe it started building since 1969 or 1970? Regardless, they are about the same age. However Kursk is of course much safer and advanced. Such a shame they have to decomission it. They are building Kursk-2 VVER, but I mean eh, VVER is everywhere, RBMK is better. Kursk NPP is a major success, supplying almost all energy in the Kursk oblast and even abroad. However as the RBMK reactors begin to age, maintenance would be costly and difficult. Last RBMK to shut down is going to be Smolensk-3, in mid-later 30's. Ignalina NPP shutdown was rushed and could've still operate to this day, even longer than Kursk. It had the uniqued RBMK-1500 units, the safest of all RBMK. And it could've been bigger. After all, IAES was supposed to be the 2nd most powerful NPP ever, right behind the 11 800 MW Chernobyl (if there was only RBMK-1000). But since CHNPP was supposed to have RBMK-1500, it would prob go even higher. But that NPP got ruined so only 4 units.

Rumyantsev mentions that the high positive void coefficient composition of the core was apparently in part intended to optimize plutonium production as well, but I'm wondering if there is more to this part of the story. I've seen it claimed that a dome was prohibitively expensive due to the size of the core, which makes no sense to me. The size of the refueling machine and what it's attached to makes a lot more sense as an explanation for the lack of a containment structure.

A bit about christmas trees... There is no tradition of a "Christmas tree" in orthodox christian nations. Communists took western christianity's christmas tradition of decorating an evergreen tree and instigated it as a New Year tradition. Motives would be to create new secular traditions in order to draw people from religious ones, and in countries with significant catholic population, to dissasociate the tradition from a religious holiday. And when the communism ended, we kept the tradition of a "New Year's tree", and to this day decorate fir trees for New Year, as it was never associated with Christmas here. That's how it is in Serbia, but I'm pretty sure it's the same in orthodox parts of the former Soviet Union.

Now you might be mistaken because when speaking English, people from here will still use the phrase "Christmas Tree", to avoid confusion, as most English speaking people wouldn't readily know what a "New Year's tree" might be, but in our languages we don't call it "Christmas tree". E.G. In Serbian, we call it "Novogodišnja jelka" (literally "New Year's fir").
