Inside Chernobyl power plant: Contaminated parts

[Music] at the end of the visit to the control room of unit number three of the Chernobyl power plant we receive a safety instructions for our trip to the radiation affected parts of the building we walk through the main corridor towards the crashed fourth block we should not stay anywhere we can see the places but only for a moment to get a slow radiation as possible when you will be after Memorial to whatever holding truth also the level building fire at the room when you will see the main circulating pump also the levels will be higher then try everybody to go faster that is the entrance to the little shiny thing in the middle is the metal door to the block four destroyed by the explosion to see something I switched to the infrared mode as soon as the local employee opens the door the dosimeter start screaming from this point on the dosa meters will not stop screaming [Music] I have to explain why we wear protective clothing gloves and respirators it's not because of radiation itself it won't threaten us if we will not stay here for a long time it's because the irritated dust should not be taken out a wall separating the third block from the fourth block was built here after the explosion one cannot resist the idea of why there are so many protective measures if we take less radiation then in the same time on the plane the problem is radiation levels change a lot here and we can only reach the least affected areas we are moving into the hall with the main circulation pumps during the fateful night these pumps were disconnected to see if it could be fed by a slowing turbine four main circulating pumps in the north the other pole are located in the South reactor number three is here it is here it is between four main circulating pumps in the north the article in the South reactor number four is opposite the same room there the same room with the main circulating pumps north and main circulating pumps is located opposite holding tube was at the same room but opposite if you like the catastrophic movies here you will get yourself in the middle of the one of the darkest the darkest literally on the third unit there is a very little light and the gloomy atmosphere is underlined by that I turn on the infrared light again [Music] [Music] [Music] getting just a few meters from the site of the worst nuclear disaster impressed everyone instead of the usual jokes we all around Aaron or even a boy from Canada who after being told that the entry to the power plant is not allowed to take pictures he covered it with his camera in burst mode but there is another surprise we take a look at the second unit control room it was shut down at the end of modernization after a fire in the engine room in 1991 you can see enough area to play its biological shield of FM cartoys reactor the structures which way on unit 2 they already have a monitor connected to the camera in the reactor hall they didn't have it on the unit 4 at the time of the accident so they couldn't see the popping clocks of the channels they began to move that was the beginning the beginning of a disaster but at the control room they learned about the beginning of the disaster the head of the reactor section Valery para goes chain Quran to inform control room about the rising pressure in the reactor in vain he ran to the control room of unit number 4 and he described what he had seen what was the situation in a reactor core strange strange as it was but his words they were not taken into account Valeri para vos chinko died on june 1986 although he was in control room at the time of the explosion he returned to rescue his colleagues and received a lethal dose of radiation at the exit of the main corridor we go through the symmetric control lunch at the local canteen follows before it however surprisingly addre symmetric control finally we go round the whole power plant to the Information Center paradoxically it's not allowed to take pictures here even though the best view on the crash block is from the info center window and here we can see the biggest nonsense in the TV show that is the scene where the evil jut love sees pieces of graphite from the reactor down the corridor to continue to claim the reactor is not affected from the 3d model it's absolutely clear he couldn't see anything like this the control room is much lower than the reactor it was impossible to get through all the ruins and take a look more than two years ago so-called Ark was slipped over the destroyed unit it was completed a few weeks ago the maximum velocity was damn liters per hour [Music] so these were three hours spent in the power plant I will enjoy those emitters twice more at the exit of the first zone and at the exit of the fourth zone I haven't come to the Ukraine only to visit Chernobyl I have also shot the only accessible base of the Soviet strategic missiles and I have passed the most interesting parts of Kiev as well I'll be happy to see you next time

Fascinating

Edit: is the plant itself and the surrounding area well preserved (not pillaged or altered)? I’m wondering if you could go and see the same things unmolested in 10 or 20 years
