Yesterday was the 38th anniversary of the tragedy at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Due to supervisor negligence during a routine test, Reactor 4 was unable to cool properly. [Too many cooling rods were removed and no one noticed] This resulted in steam explosions and ultimately a full meltdown. Of the 6,000 plant workers: 2 people lost their lives in the initial explosion, 237 were hospitalized (134 exhibited acute ARS and 28 died) and 100,000~ people had to evacuate their homes never to return. It will take years for the radioactive isotopes to decay. Projected cleanup year is 2065.
Before the Ukraine-Russia war, people were able to tour the city, staying well away from the 1,000 sq mi exclusion zone around the plant.
The most fascinating thing (to me) is the Elephants Foot. Its a large mass of radioactive and man-made materials that formed after the meltdown. The material flowed 49 ft to the southeast of the reactor and 20 ft below ground level. It melted through 6.6 ft of reinforced concrete before settling in the back of room 217/2.
Radioactivity near the Elephants Foot was approximately 80 to 100 grays per hour, delivering a 50/50 lethal dose of radiation (4.5 grays) within five minutes. Between May and November 1986, a shelter (the "Sarcophagus") was constructed to help seal the radioactive materials inside Reactor Number 4.
In 1996, Radiation Specialist Artur Korneyev took several photographs of the Elephants Foot. Some call him the most radioactive man in the world. Artur took up close photos of the mass and produced a very famous "selfie" seen below. The grainy effect is due to the high levels of radiation.
His current status is unknown, but in a 2016 interview he said he was working on construction of a $1.5 billion arch that, when finished in 2017, will cap the decaying sarcophagus and prevent airborne isotopes from escaping. In his mid 60s, he was sickly, with cataracts, and had been barred from re-entering the sarcophagus after years of irradiation.

Zeke Gonz has done it again with another 🔥 💀 meme - Quick name something good that came out of Chernobyl in the comments below or else your weird teacher will fail you and no you don’t get any time to prepare, just start listing the first things that comes to mind with the quiet desperation of a 16 year old who really needs to win this debate to put on a college application

Google Drive full of book PDFs about Chernobyl
Link to the Google Drive if you don't want to click the title: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kscKFciW6almJA8p-0sUQPO3c0A4AQYe
Note: It will be updated regularly - for as long as I'll be able to find/get new things =) So far I've compiled 41 books in three languages.
Just to repeat what I said in the first post: I'm open to any requests or suggestions or even PDFs themselves, if someone wants to share theirs from their collection. Message me, send me an ask, throw a rock through my window - whatever you prefer, just please, do it yourself because I'm too scared to message anyone, thanks. No fiction - that's the only rule. Any language is welcome - if you want me to look for a certain book in the language of your choice, I'll do that. If you have a book in language other than English, I'd love to add it to the Drive! If you have a better version of whatever PDF I've already got, then I'd be more than happy to do a swap.
Now, some of my reasoning, if anyone's interested: first of all, I think it's important for everyone to be able to access stuff like this. Think of it as a library, minus the "give these back" part. Secondly, I get soooo mad when people are like haha, found this super rare, basically impossible to find, very expensive book! ...I shall now keep it exclusively to myself.

It's such a weird feeling...to wish for a disaster and a miracle at the same time.
I want our planet to get hit by an asteroid - but mostly in a way that would anhiliate russia. After dealing with russian monsters for 10 years, we can handle the aftershocks if it means russia would cease to be a threat forever.
I want world's inaction about the state of ZNPP to bite it in the ass - but I hope the wind will carry the nuclear cloud anywhere but to Ukraine. That it all will go to russia and make russians experience everything they did to us when they created Chernobyl disaster.
I really, really want WW3 to happen, but I want my people and country to still be free from russia, so we could see USA and Western Europe wake the fuck up and learn about the consequences of acting lenient towards Nazis the hard way; so we could join forces and end this threat forever. So maybe THIS TIME everyone will learn something.
Or maybe the world will burn down and humanity will cease to exist. But maybe this is what humanity deserves.
I think about dying, but I also want to see people who decided I should die and my death is a mere politcal inconvenience, an annoyance distracting them from their Super Bowl time, face the consequences of their choices.
It's fucked up.

Mr. Burns is supposed to be the caricature of an evil industrialist billionaire, but the fact he owns a nuclear power plant instead of being in the fossil fuel industry means he’s already less harmful than most real life industrialists.
#the only reason burns owns a power plant is because of post-chernobyl anti-nuclear panic of the late 80s#*owns a nuclear power plant#simpsons#environmentalism

"The level of radioactive pollution, and most importantly the area of contamination, will be thousands of square kilometres of land and sea… it would be much, much worse than Fukushima and worse than Chernobyl."
WE NEED TO STEP UP. This is not Ukraine’s problem: it’s the WORLD’S problem.

feeling weirdly defensive over nuclear energy tonight crazy what being on your period does to you
#saw some bullshit anti nuclear propaganda on a supposedly progressive page#first of all the reason it would be a bad idea for greece to have nuclear power plants isn't because of the seismic activity#it's bc everything in this country gets neglected and all we ever do is cut corners. thats not an inherent issue with nuclear power#it's just that we suck and wouldn't maintain such an intricate system properly to keep it safe enough#but that goes for literally any mode of energy production in this god forsaken country lol i don't think our coal factories are any safer#im just BEGGING people to at least read up and TRY to understand nuclear energy production and then form an opinion on it#because it seems most opinions are shaped from collective mythology from the chernobyl disaster#which btw most of us don't know how or why it happened!!!!! it all just gets boiled down to ''nuclear power bad''#of course radiation is dangerous and nuclear power production should be handled with extreme care and precision#and nuclear incidents and accidents are serious!!!!! don't get me wrong!!!!!#but ppl acting like a nuclear power plant will just spontaneously combust is so ignorant#I HAD A SMALL HYPERFIXATION PHASE ABOUT THIS OK LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!#anyway greek progressives and leftists exhaust me more and more every day#just say you don't know enough to have an informed opinion it's not that hard!!!! instead they straight up spread misinformation#just to support their political arguments
