Inside Chernobyl (2012)

[Music] [Music] radiation monitors in Sweden and Finland this morning are showing unusually high readings in places three times normal levels at the moment the source of those emissions is a mystery but speculation has arisen of a nuclear power plant accident inside the Soviet Union it may seem difficult to believe but we know more about this nuclear accident of the people living in the Soviet Union the Soviet media downplaying the disaster keeping the people there in the dark research over here who's doing Adam is that on the reactive Bremen Tsumura politically that same person yet still very but rather from a cultivates the Polish so they're not really testing their chemistry Moscow television claim the Western media are spreading rumors kochira nobody will show a photograph taken with one of the workers at the Chernobyl nuclear plant it's taken you just don't if you could please up and against so there is no Vinnie that there is no joy can shake this is big damage and there is no great fire thousands of people dead or nasarah the consequence Adele disaster a lot on trial a nuclear dieter no Billy Yana sovietic a consent request a total mental attencion a little mondo le auto attack on demos confirm on okay al contrary the Ponto dito that you party de facto solo blue morty meant requisition personally personally karate in Isfahan all day there was speculation that a meltdown had occurred in a second reactor at the Chernobyl complex tonight however that seems unlikely there are conflicting reports coming out of the Soviet Union we do know that a zone of deadly radiation is being released from the damaged plant and the accident is far from over good evening a senior government minister admitted to the coven's today that after Chernobyl it was no good scientists and politicians simply asserting that everything is alright with nuclear power [Music] this is what the Soviet government tried to cover up a catastrophic nuclear accident something the world had never seen before reactor 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant had exploded releasing lethal amounts of radiation into the atmosphere in this motorgraph taken by igor kostin radiation can visibly be seen as it contaminates the photographic film within his camera in this control room Leonid optinal a young but senior technician began an experiment which led to an extremely unstable reactor configuration to this day many of the switches remain untouched still in the same position they were the morning of the accident as the reactor core lay exposed a plume of highly radioactive smoke continued to rise into the skies Chernobyl located 82 miles north of Ukraine's capital city Kiev was once a small town located in the far east on the Soviet Union nuclear fallout from the explosion was initially spent hundreds of miles carried by the wind in clouds they bring towns and cities were heavily contaminated however nearly 1,000 miles from Chernobyl Sweden was the first country to detect that something disastrous had happened the fallout had even reached the United Kingdom North Wales had been contaminated the worst and even to this day 330 health farms have restrictions on them the darker orange areas of this map are badly contaminated and the red areas are severely contaminated with cesium 137 an isotope released into the atmosphere by the reactor explosion the result was and still is devastating Belarus was by far the worst affected life-changing effects some of these effects are illnesses like thyroid cancer birth defects like dysplasia deformation intellectual disabilities pain and suffering and all caused by an invisible force [Music] Londyn one of the largest and busiest cities in the world radiation can be found here and other cities known as background radiation it is constantly present in the environment of Earth which is admitted by natural and artificial sources a normal background radiation level is considered to be between point 10.30 microsieverts a measure of radiation dose [Music] pretty big house I guess it was some something like synagogue religious building a new structure [Music] these tanks were used during the evacuation of Chernobyl and propriate Nikolay explains more here it's already 16 ever closer it's increasing 9 so it's already 90 times more than normal but I think it's absolutely enough [Music] [Music] 0.13 so it's it's okay all places in Chernobyl are clean so these robots they have been on the roof of third reactor of third unit they were broken a few days after because the radiation fields pretty highly contaminated it's about 20-25 micro sieverts [Music] [Music] [Music] those guys they were heroes those 28 firefighters they came first they came two minutes after the blast so they didn't know anything about religion they didn't have any protection and they received huge huge doses of radiation they died a couple of weeks after they sacrificed their own lives to save millions of another but spot is here 150 [Music] - hungry yes [Music] [Music] echo turn over so your points rebut to try to measure this bone five five point six it's like local funds local entertainment everybody who go to the lunch [ __ ] team everybody feed this fish on the way back [Music] [Music] excellent sound [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] three point four three point five six eight six million six point two [Music] enough [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so tomorrow we're going to be seeing Pripyat we didn't get to see it today simply because you know because I'm here for two days it was just easier to spend a bit more time around the power plant today and Chernobyl and other bits and pieces around the actual around the actual power plant itself so tomorrow we're going to be spending a majority of the day in Pripyat and we're also going to be speaking to some of the wee settlers these are you know people that have basically moved back into neighboring towns after being ushered away from from Chernobyl and the other smaller towns are around but they've actually you know come back over the years and and that they're now living you know within close proximity to the exclusion zone so we're gonna be chatting to some of these people I was told earlier the average age of a theory settler is 65 years old so they're they're getting on in age and you know they are slowly passing away but not because of any radiation related sicknesses it's just old age which you know is another another example of of you know how kind of safe the area the area is as long as you see stick to the rules [Music] [Music] where was he on the on the day of the accident was he working and then your body with bullets you this -

started out interesting then fizzled in to a guy walking around measuring radiation levels in things.... bailed halfway

[u/[deleted]]

present

2012

I don't know about that.

Sadly, not really impressed by the documentary either.

[u/_299792458ms-1]

Why is the guys voice so quiet, even compared to the music/background sounds? Makes it fairly difficult to watch the beginning, luckily it gets slightly better after you get past the initial voice over.

[u/[deleted]]

Top Gear showed me all there is to know about preset-day Chernobyl

[u/somnolent49]

Can anybody who's watched this confirm whether they actually shot footage from inside Chernobyl? Most videos I've seen only end up filming in Pripyat.

Inside Pripyat FTFY

[u/PsychicSuplex]

Is it safe for him to be getting that close to all of that shit? He's inches away from something 45,000 times the level of background radiation at one point.

"Hey this hospital looks interesting, lets go in here and try to find the most dangerous radiation we can"

[u/ThatGuyInPink]

"Present Conditions" Yeah.... it's 2016...
