Watch the Chernobyl. It's fucking good.
It's fucking disturbing to watch, knowing that this actually happened makes it so much worse.Originally Posted by Venec
It is a good show, but I kind of wish it wasn't made.
The world more than ever, needs a lot more nuclear power plants with their vast emission free power output.
Chernobyl is going to make people even more terrified of nuclear power.
Regardless that everything possible was handled wrong in Chernobyl and we have received more radiation from coal plants than both Chernobyl & Fukushima combined.
Those lens' look to be tinted Turkish
Same thought crossed my mind too.It's fucking disturbing to watch, knowing that this actually happened makes it so much worse.

Same. Havent checked anyone involved for political/environmental views and I'm not sure I want to either. Shit is good (1 ep in at least) and I'll leave it like that.Same thought crossed my mind too.It's fucking disturbing to watch, knowing that this actually happened makes it so much worse.

Swedish producer/director though, from what I can tell might also contain some ppl I know in the overall production.
Yeah there and thousands of coal plants and TWO failed reactor leaks, of course there is more from fucking coal. You know corporations will run those nuclear plants, the same corporations that dont give a fuck about anything but money and would gladly cut costs and corners. Try living near an old one that isn't being maintained and tell me you feel safe. Chernobyl is fantastic so far and until we live in a magic society were corporate greed isn't prevalent we should ignore the option for nuclear power.Same.

Terrifying
Related trivia: watching it got me interested in how much of it is fictionalized. So while reading up on it, i came across this fun sentence on wikipedia:
Which madlad shot at the lava of radioactive death??(Regarding the "elephants foot" of molten core material) "The mass is quite dense, unyielding to a drill, but able to be damaged by a Kalashnikov rifle."
You're delusional.

Someone take Lilalaunebör to the infirmary.
2nd ep of Chernobyl is fucking tense. Ending is pure ohshitshitshit.
Having read a bit about the disaster, the series stays mostly true to the events that unfolded AFAIK. Although some of it is a bit sensationalized/dramatized (as you would expect). The three nuclear engineers going into the powerplant to drain the water beneath the reactor (which they actually did) in the end of episode 2 survived and one of them (Alexei Ananenko) worked in the nuclear energy industry long after the disaster (and the fall of the USSR). The second engineer died of a heart failure at age 65. But to be fair, this myth has also been repeated several times in the past in western literature, so.

Also the molten nuclear reactor would have never caused a thermonuclear explosion as it is claimed if it came in contact with the water reservoir. It would have caused a steam explosion that would have been pretty devastating, but not a 4 megaton explosion as it was claimed in the 2nd episode. But again, this is another myth that has been repeated elsewhere. I think I heard it in the documentary Surviving Disaster – Chernobyl Nuclear aswell.
Sensationalism aside the series do come across as well researched if you ignore some of the fluff shoved in to cause more tension and drama. Thinking especially about the set and the environment.
Thermonuclear is also a word used for fission started fusion weapons, in contrast to the boring old nuclear ones and with the absence of any fusion fuel even more sensationalist lies. Even getting a nuclear (fission only) explosion without really trying really hard for it is practically impossible.
For extended "trivia" on Chernobyl check Our Planet on Netflix and the Forrest episode (its a magnificent series overall so if you watch them all if you havent already).
He's delusional, comrades
Take him to the infirmary
This man has been exposed to feedwater. Take him to the infirmary.
Did he use the word 'Thermonuclear'? The 4 megaton claim was pretty sensationalist but if the other 3 units had been damaged/destroyed you could have said goodbye to any sort of timely recovery effort and global consequences.Having read a bit about the disaster, the series stays mostly true to the events that unfolded AFAIK.
