My Rating Of Chernobyl

[Itz_Eric]

“It’s not three roentgen,
It’s fifteen thousand.”

[SoniXperias]

Wait till he realises Chernobyl was a real thing

[pinksigil]

Imma watch this, seeing comments it’s based on a true story

[MrPwor]

I loved HBO Chernobyl series 👌 have always been fascinated by what happened there

[nishantbhardwaj]

This is the best mini series i have ever

[_Astraal]

A very very underated mini serie, go watch it

[lambdaspecialist_source]

Now we are watching it during chemistry class, I've seen it before but it's still great.

nah bro hasnt realised chernobyl happened in real life?

[bharatvarshaball]

What is it about that actual incident ?

[paveliovespuchi]

Я бы сказал что сочетание с реальностью не 9.5, а 7.5 так как есть очень много моментов не сходящихся с реальностью.

Gotta love how much people are misinformed, under informed, or just not know anything about the Chernobyl incident, at all. Here is a breakdown for anyone intested: (*TEXT CORRECTED FOR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS, SPELLING MISTAKES, AND WRONG INFORMATION BY CHAT GPT*)


The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. **What happened:** The disaster was caused by a combination of design flaws and operator errors during a safety test on Reactor 4. The test aimed to simulate a power outage and the subsequent emergency cooling procedures. However, due to a series of mistakes and unstable reactor conditions, a sudden power surge occurred, leading to a massive steam explosion that destroyed the reactor core and released radioactive materials into the atmosphere.

2. **Why it happened:** The immediate cause was the operators' decision to run the reactor at very low power, contrary to safety regulations, to prepare for the test. Additionally, flawed reactor design, particularly the control rods' graphite tips and the reactor's positive void coefficient, contributed to the reactor's instability.

3. **Consequences:** The Chernobyl disaster had severe consequences, including immediate casualties from the explosion and acute radiation sickness among plant workers and emergency responders. The release of radioactive materials contaminated vast areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, leading to long-term health effects, including increased cancer rates, thyroid disorders, and birth defects. The disaster also resulted in the evacuation and resettlement of over 300, 000 people from the affected areas and significant environmental damage.

4. **Who was involved:** The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was operated by the Soviet Ministry of Energy and Electrification. The operators on duty during the test, as well as plant management and Soviet authorities responsible for nuclear safety oversight, were involved. The disaster prompted international responses, including assistance efforts, scientific studies, and increased focus on nuclear safety worldwide.

The RBMK (Reaktor Bolshoy Moshchnosti Kanalny, or High-Power Channel Reactor) was the type of nuclear reactor involved in the Chernobyl disaster. Here's how it works and what happened in the core, along with details on who caused what:

1. **RBMK reactor workings:** The RBMK reactor is a graphite-moderated, water-cooled reactor. It uses graphite as a moderator to slow down neutrons and allow the nuclear chain reaction to occur. The core contains fuel rods made of uranium-235, which undergo fission when bombarded by neutrons, releasing energy. Water acts as both a coolant and a neutron moderator. Control rods made of boron are inserted into the core to control the rate of the reaction by absorbing neutrons.

2. **What happened in the core:** During the safety test on April 26, 1986, the operators of Chernobyl Reactor 4 attempted to conduct a test to simulate a power outage scenario. However, due to a combination of factors, including reactor design flaws and operator errors, the reactor became unstable. The operators lowered the power level to very low levels, contrary to safety regulations, and disabled critical safety systems.

As the reactor's power decreased, xenon-135, a neutron absorber, began to accumulate in the core, inhibiting the reaction. To counteract this, the operators withdrew most of the control rods, which exacerbated the instability. A sudden power surge occurred, leading to a steam explosion that destroyed the reactor core and breached the containment vessel. This resulted in a catastrophic release of radioactive materials into the atmosphere.

3. **Who caused what:** The immediate cause of the disaster was the decision-making and actions of the operators on duty during the test. Anatoly Dyatlov, the deputy chief engineer in charge of the experiment, insisted on proceeding with the test despite safety concerns and violated safety protocols by disabling key safety systems and disregarding operational guidelines. Operators made critical errors in managing the reactor's power levels and control rod positions,

Best movie is watch for 1.99 hell yeah w movie and very accurate to the history

[cinq]

never heard of it, where can i find it ?

[uwnblhy]

Этот мини сериал полное говно, не соответствует истории и постоянно врет от мелочей, до крупных событий

[reservford]

Realism 0/10
History 0/10
NATO propaganda 100/10
