Amazing footage! I remember seeing footage of the "liquidators" working on the roof. They would run out on the roof, get a shovel full of graphite, toss it over the edge and run back in. They were out there for less that a minute yet, were exposed to lethal amounts. It's amazing the Russian propaganda that happened back then with not telling the truth to the people.

What happened was a failure of the back up systems on a test run for emergency procedures. Think of it like this. Nuclear power is basically steam generated, with the rods of uranium submerged in water, which through a series of processes boils the water and generates power through turbines. The water levels reached critically low levels and went undetected, and when the water was added again it caused a flash boil and massive explosion.

No matter what is said of Russians, this is a noble responce, a noble sacrifice. These men gave their lives, unwittingly, to reduce the suffering of billions of people, present at that time, and for thousands of years into the future.
Sad these men had so little protection, sacrificing their lives because of insane politics and miserly action by government.
When are we ever prepared for the disasters we make, and the disasters that befall us.
Teratogens and mutagens are irrecoverable.

Hey Geico, do some research. Chernobyl failed due to operator ineptitude. They pulled the control rods out and steamed the core. The sensors didn't pick up on the steam pockets and the reactor was out of control. It spiked and blew up.
well played, my ... ( 1 week ago by GeicoKaveman)
well played, my assessment was incorrect. I should have mentioned the steam pockets, but the accident did have something to do with a shutdown of one of the cores, for emergency procedures or overhaul.. someone neglected to realize the steam pockets, and IIRC the gauges did not recognize it either. Either way, the disaster still hasn't reached its full potential.

I woman I work with was from the Ukraine, her husband was a liquidator, in fact he is the only man of his group that is still alive today. He suffered massive GI bleeds and severe complications for months afterwards. The Russian govt sent in young Christian men to control and shovel those materials onto the burning radioactive mass. They both claim that the only reason he is still alive is because of God. A miracle any way you look at it, whether you believe or not.

Hey Geico,
Did they interview the liquidators and send in only Christians? HMMmmmm?
I don't think so.

Believe whatever you will.. I'm not here to spark a religious debate with you.. but you know as well as I do the potential of totalitarian regimes.. and what they are capable of organizing, and who they will sacrifice in the name of their cause. The men were rounded up out of their homes and villages. You and I don't know what really happened to those people. Your pretentious behavior doesn't effect me in the least. Troll on someone else.
