I read that a typical nuclear bomb has like 35 pounds of Uranium, but the Chenobyl plant itself contained 150+ TONS of the stuff. That's why the smoke was putting out two bombs worth of radioactivity per hour for the first couple of days.

What were they thinking building something so massive? That explains the joke the miner made about a Soviet machine the size of a house that burns diesel fuel and spits out a ton of exhaust just to slice an apple into three pieces.

the soviets always built shyt that was just too big.

they had the Tsar Bomba. They had the largest "plane" ever. They just always overdid it.

I have a SKS Rifle I hope it's not contaminated

Come to think of it... In the 90s I knew this cat selling a bunch of sks riffles for super cheap... Always wondered why...

Watching this is surreal. In my field, I've seen the effects of overexposure to radioactive sources on people...and I'm talking about Cobalt 60 or Iridium 192 pills no larger than an aspirin. Guys accidentally picking up live sources, not realizing it until it burns a hole through their leg. Seeing it on THIS level, though...man this is scary. We have a nuclear plant a couple hours outside of Houston. I dread the idea of some Three Mile Island, Chernobyl type thing happening out there. It would be mass hysteria.

stay safe out there

This has actually been the most educational HBO show of all time for me, because of the Google searches it inspires.

For example, I thought I knew a lot about be science. But until I looked it up while watching this show, I never knew that direct radiation (as opposed to contamination from radioactive dust) could actually make non-radioactive metal turn radioactive. I always thought that the fallout dust would be the only threat, once the original radiation was stopped.

I read the metal pipes within Chernobyl will be radioactive for hundreds of years, just from absorbing radiation.

daunting

I remember in the podcast the show creator was further explaining the significance of the shoes. Supposedly his body was so swolen they wouldnt have been able to put them on. I think he said homie loved shoes and she wanted to burry him in his shoes.

On top of that the show creator explained that the Pripryat residents who got relocated were heavily discriminated against when they arrived in other towns/cities. Rumors ran amok and people feared they would contaminate the remaining population wherever they were moved to.

If you like the show I cannot stress listening to the Chernobyl podcast enough.

Man i just pray terrorists never get their hands on this shyt. Thank God it can be detected even if hidden. I remember once interviewing for a job with Schneider Electric where the job was supporting a system designed to detect and report radioactive material at ports and airports.
