Hey guys, it’s Elina, your friendly nuclear physicist 👩🏽🔬 ☢️ Nuclear physics shouldn't have to be all doom and gloom. My job is to make it understandable, fun and exciting!
On my channel, I dive into three interesting categories EXPLAINS, DEBUNKS and REACTS. There I create content explaining nuclear physics facts, debunking myths around the nuclear industry and reacting to movies, series, cartoons and videos related to nuclear physics.
Welcome aboard this fun and informative adventure!

If my memory serves correctly, the "rule of thumb" has been debunked, as it's prevailing winds, not the size of the initial cloud that you need to worry about. Regarding the distance of the first blast. First light occurs at about 73 seconds prior to the glass shattering. Assuming a constant of 343 meters per second, or 1125.33 feet per second, the blast wave originated at a point approximately 13.66 miles (21.99kM) from the house. I think, with this one specific aspect of physics, the showrunners actually did their best to depict it realistically. I can't say for certain if the location for the start of the show was exactly 13.66 miles from where that first nuke went off. But from photos I've seen taken about 15 miles from downtown LA, the perspective from the starting location seems to fit that distance pretty well. I am not a physicist, however. Let alone one trained on nuclear weapons physics. So take everything I say with a grain of potassium iodide...
THANK YOU for the interesting video Elina.
Don't worry the story of the world has become so much stranger & so much worse than you know. Make sure to learn how to use the VATS system for those tough moments, have fun finding out LOL.
Was there no one there to tell her the crosshairs were how you aim?
Yeah in the game there were hundreds of impacts across the states alone but every country has been nuked in the game..
you can scram my reactor anytime
I loved seeing your reactions, especially how you were just as horrified as I was by her removing the knife! XD I watched the show before I played the game, so I also was like why on earth are you stabbing yourself when she used the stimpack haha. Can't wait for more episodes of the react series, and more of you playing the game!!
You have pretty Arabian face. Where are you from originally?
Beauty with ..Brain ...❤❤❤❤ U become my new crush mam..😅
to be frank vault tec are the ones who triggered the events that lead to the global apocalypse😂
I don't like your video or your take on this other persons video.
should use keaybord and mouse---
I hate how they say Chernobyl, which happened cuz communists cut costs so by the time they pressed AZ 5, the whole thing was pointless. This is scientifically impossible today.
You’re adorable! It’s like watching Curie play fallout 4.
The authorities offered generous cash incentives to those willing to go in to clear up the mess. This is at odds with the socialist dogma that money belongs to the state and private property is despised. At the end of the day they know that people are incentivised by material reward.
Among the many things I really enjoyed in this first installment was the immediate recognition (and comment) that you were being led to a cryogenic freezing pod.
You stress me out when you play . But I can understand you not a gamer but a scientist. Honestly it’s better , I’m engineer I have no time, any free time I spend it with my kids And I am Engineer in a nuclear plant in TN ! .
Where I grew up, THE FIRST useful reactor was built to prove the viablilty of the SECOND useful reactor that went into the Nautilus, which was the first nuclear submarine. This first one was at Shippingport, PA, It began operation in May of 1958 and ran about 25 years until it was the first reactor that was deconstructed and during the 1980's, it was relocated to the Hanford Reservation. This location is still in use as the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station Units #1 & #2. I just participated in the NRC mandated semi-annual Plume Drill for that plant last week.
The nuclear explosion would burn the skin off anybody outside of the building - this was the least believable scene of the whole series.
Imagine the deep insights we could get from something like "Arachnologist plays Spider-Man" or maybe ""Assayer plays Minecraft"
It is really interesting to hear your educated takes throughout this, I look forward to following this series.
Hello! I really enjoyed watching your gameplays and now reaction to the series! Just a little info about the vaults in case you're interested, all of them are difderent, some are like Lucy's (civil) and in some others the company that created them conducted sociological, biological and psychological non consensual experiments and studies.
You forgot to take the mini gun next to the power armor
Hey I don’t want to offend you but the rule of thumb is false and my proof is that the Hiroshima bomb would have been seven times the size of your thumb and you would still be okay 😊

Idk why you are but I'm physicists also and i love you ❤
Honestly, with her liberal use of gun bashing and decent special stats for it, she might just want to go for a melee weapons build. Without spending any perk points on base stats, she has access to basically all of the important strength perks even if she didn't max it out, and Science! is great for melee weapon upgrades. Endurance was also a great choice to put points into, and she has just enough Perception for the Locksmith perk. Honestly, not bad for someone who's never played Fallout 4 before, and has no frame of reference for what the stats actually do in practice. Only notes, I'd definitely recommend first person perspective when using guns because the camera control tends to be better, and I'm pretty sure you can't aim down sights in third person. For melee, first or third person view is up to preference, really. I think there are some moves you can only do in third person for melee, but I think those might be hand-to-hand only. And Hand-to-hand is... well, it's a choice, but not one I'd make, personally, even with weapons like the Power Fist. Not sure if the series is still going, but if it is, I highly recommend trying out melee, especially for a new player who's still getting used to the controls. Melee has a pretty generous hitbox, so you can practice precision aiming after looking around feels a bit more natural. Don't forget to check out the weapons workbench! Most settlements like Sanctuary and the Red Rocket will have one from the start, and they can be used to make weapon modifications for just about any weapon in the game. And with perks like Science! and Gun Nut, it really translates those points in intelligence into damage. Oh, and do keep an eye out for Vault Boy bobbleheads - you can find one in the Museum of Freedom in the room where you meet Preston and Sturges. I think you might find that they're worth the effort to seek out. 😉
Actually, the US tested one thorium/233 bomb. It went off but the yield was disappointing. We never did it again.
Hi. An old sci-fi series, Space 1999, has been playing live on KZread for the past few weeks. The first episode features a disaster that involves 'magnetic radiation' and risks of dumping radioactive waste on the Moon. If you ever check out the episode (entitled Breakaway), please give your thoughts about it.
12:36 when my wife is trying to get pregnant
Valt teck dropped most of the nukes
That's a good move
Watching her fight radroaches had me laughing so hard xDDDD
In Fallout they have a power source called a fusion core
What about uranium not enrichment used in nuclear power plants like in argentina.
It’s a shame that we haven’t taken advantage of nuclear for more than we have. People were so indoctrinated to fear the N word for so long that they would refuse NMRI scans even if it could significantly increase their chances of treatment and survival of disease. So much so they had to remove the word nuclear and shorten it to magnetic resonance imaging.
5:18 they were doing the infamous test because i believe israelis bombed a different reactor, and they were making sure that they could still backup the systems. that's why they were questioning that
this is like saying "in 1945 2 nukes were dropped on a country so we can expect 2 countries to get nuked every 3 days"
Fallout 4 is a great example of a game that, while it was theoretically made to be ported to consoles, clearly suffers for it in the controls. It's far faster and intuitive to play it with a mouse and keyboard setup. I noticed the same thing when I watch let's players posting videos of them playing Baldur's Gate III on consoles. Yes, Larian did their best to modify the control systems for the different platforms (and did a far better job than Bethesda did with Fallout 4), but it's still a massive downgrade in efficiency.
Negative void coefficients are cool. They turn potential chernobyls into mere three-mile-islands.
KZread is surprisingly funny these days. Need an astronomer and physicist to react to the new Star wars.
It’s really good for the first few episodes
No disrespect I am process engineer at a nuclear reactor site, and what you explain make sense however what I don’t understand as a process control engineer I have 21 minutes a day to watch KZread. Between 9 hours work day 40 hours a week and 1 hour traveling between home and work the time I have is to spend with my kids. How the hell you have the time to make KZread videos ? Please if you have a way to have more free time I need know so I can do the same and maybe I can at least watch a movie once in a while
Well that was painful to watch in places. :))...Still, not bad for a newbie. I recently started playing Fallout 4 again after a long absence, and I'm thoroughly enjoying my second playthrough. I'm on PC and use mods and as a result have some pretty well developed outposts by now. My Sanctuary Hills is basically a wooden fortress with a junk fence perimeter completely surrounding it, with crenellations and MG turrets every few yards. Even got mods to deliberately create attacks in large numbers just to test my defences. Had 150 Supermutants attack The Castle (Minuteman fortress and player outpost mid-game) just for laughs. Left a massive pile of Supermutant corpses. Lots of fun. :)
Do people not understand the concept of slow motion? When Cooper is watching the first explosion it's in slow motion, he's only actually standing there for a few seconds before the blast wave hits them.
Gave up on the game did we (just kidding)
I can't tell if she looked away from the nuke because she knew that's what you're supposed to do (if you want to keep your retinas intact, that is) or if she just genuinely turned away at the exact wrong time lol
And still - there is not solution to the waste problems. The economics remains abysmal and will never come close to breaking even with wind, solar or geothermal. The waste costs and decommissioning will be foisted off on the public. And to minimize costs the waste will be handled, and buried in the least safe way that it can possibly be. Plus the catastrophe hazards remain nation busters.
The other show I know of which starts with an episode titled "The End" is Red Dwarf, so your theory holds up. That's also a show where lots of people are killed by radiation and a handful of survivors emerge afterward.
21 minute video just to tell everybody, "It's too expensive and isn't cost effective to repurpose nuclear waste." This could have been a 1-3 minute video.
