New Chernobyl cover/sarco us

[DeadlyDynasty]

Pretty interesting project, set for completion between 2013-2015 (I think). Do you think it'll work--and for how long? The first one didn't last long.

Looks more like a new stadium for the Chernobyl Atomics basketball team.

[jeebus]

from what I read up on it in the past, I believe it's supposed to last for 100 years. first one wasn't supposed to last long, not that it would what with soviet engineering and all.

's gotta last 150,000 years, so no, I don't think it'll work. Have you ever seen the original NOVA episodes about when they went in to survey the damage, how the first sarco us was built, how the radiation destroyed all their robots so they used Red Army "Human Robots" (the Soviets' term, not ours) to do the dirty work?



There are a couple more PBS Nova episodes on Chernobyl, and they're some of the best newsmagazine episodes I have ever seen.

wtf is it meant to protect it from? when the is scattered everywhere within radius?

Yes, the Battle of Chernobyl do entary is great too. Saw them a few years back--didn't even know wtf a Roentgen was till then Crazy to think of the dose certain people received in such a short period of time

Yeah, that helicopter pilot who took the famous video of the core on fire took in a lethal dose the first second he was over that plume, and was dead something like 18 hours later.

While we're on the topic of do entaries, do you know of any about the Dresden or Hamburg bombings that are any good? The only stuff I have found on Dresden is all from a Neo-Nazi viewpoint and they call it the "real holocaust" to suggest the holocaust of the Jews/Gypsies/leftists/communists never took place. Those bombings surely were worthy of being considered war crimes (as virtually all of the WWII air campaign was from both sides), but I don't want to watch white nationalist propaganda.

Nah, no no good ones like you said. The BBC one on Coventry was great though. The Luftwaffe's strategy/plan of attack was tactically amazing (but brutal).

I thought the Nazis made some enormous mistakes in the Battle of Brittain. They had virtually crippled the RAF in the initial attack but then moved on to terrorist bombing of London instead of finishing off the RAF airfields, and the Luftwaffe ended up paying bigtime for it. Hitler's decisions just seem so questionable and I can understand why his Wehrmacht (not SS) generals thought he was an idiot.

well, there's still tons (literally tons) of radioactive dust, plutonium/uranium, radioactive soil, and the always fun radioactive corium, which is like nuclear lava. since Chernobyl was a complete cluster of a power plant, there was no containment structure like what Fukushima had. so when went downhill and a spurfan, backdoor swept sized meltdown occurred, there was no nice strong structure to keep in most of the radioactive material; it went straight out to Ukraine and beyond. so they quickly and poorly built a huge concrete sarco us around it to keep all that crap contained.

why didnt they just dig that up and put it down a volcano burn that up

The best description I have read of it is still in Slaughterhouse Five.

They could have save billions of dollars according to Agloco the radiation dangers are about the same as eating a banana.

so only gay people are in danger?

Please someone tell me that we are not paying for this......

Yeah, that helicopter pilot who took the famous video of the core on fire took in a lethal dose the first second he was over that plume, and was dead something like 18 hours later.

Then how do you explain him in the do entary made years later?

go to 4:20 on the video.

[mouse]

Here he is today.

I don't think that's the same pilot. The one who took that first video I was talking about was a Red Army pilot who was trying to drop neutrons onto the core in an attempt to stop the reaction, and thus had to fly directly through the plume.
