  1. The plates didn't bounce though. Also Respect for those who's lives were taken by radiation… it is a very dangerous thing and unfortunately we learned it the hard way

  2. The thing people don't realize is that the suicide squad, The miners, are literal heroes. It doesn't matter if those who started it deny it. The man who went in to do that basically saved the rest of the world by stopping the radiation from hitting the rest of the world.

  3. One thing that isn't making sense is how they say that the wife couldn't get radiation from her husband who was already cleaned. If that is so, why did they say he was still radioactive and buried him in a zinc coffin?

  4. One key thing that is rarely mentioned in any of these documentaries is that in the USSR/Russia (unlike in the West) nuclear reactors do not have a containment vessel. The reactor has shielding around it but no concrete containment vessel. This meant that the explosion, once it occurred, allowed radioactive material and gasses to immediately escape into the open air. The arrogant Russians thought their RBMK reactor flawless – no accident could happen. The Three Mile Island reactor did have a containment vessel and therefore there was extremely limited release of radioactivity.

  5. Great video! Thank you ^^
    And I couldn't help but recommend the book Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham, it's a very interesting read, full of information but easy to digest, when I was reading it I literally couldn't stop, it also contains some photos and schematics, not the most important part but it's always nice, and I found myself turning pages back and forth to consult the RBMK-1000 schematic while reading the book. I'm not the best at describing stuff but honestly if you have some time and a little money to spare buy the book, it's truly amazing and also heartbreaking.

  6. The Chernobl Nuclear disaster should be your selling point as to why all countries across the world should decomission their nuclear weapons programs.
