Spoilers, of course.That seems grossly too high to me, being in megatons, that's equivalent to 2 to 4 I'm thinking somebody at the show goofed, and goofed bad; to me, 7000 tons of water vaporizing with the force of 2 to 4 But that is just guesswork on my part, so, I'm asking here; am I wrong? They saved the world by putting out the fires.For me the one of the most haunting parts of the episode is all the people watching the fire while being covered with what I'm assuming is radioactive ash? “We could see this character clearly in denial or just absurdly conceited — they could never be wrong,” Kristoffer says.In the series, Dyatlov is an ill-tempered villain who oversees the rushed safety test which resulted in the disaster. As the neutron flux started to come up again, it burned off xenon-135 at an ever-increasing rate, thus further raising the power level, thus further raising the rate of xenon-135 removal, and so on. The power plant had 4 reactors (with two under construction) for a combined output of 4 GW (10% of Ukraine's demand).Reactors 1-3 continued operating for 10 years afterwards.The resulting steam explosion blew the reactor and the building around it apart.Its also worth emphasising this - it was a steam explosion, not anything nuclear (which can't really happen in a reactor). Overnight, seven years’ worth of sentimental, analytical discussion on the subreddit (one typical thread: the to shut down one of the plant’s radioactive pumps) was gone.’s most horrific moments. The reactor operators were unaware of this characteristic (the positive void coefficient) because it was considered a state secret.As the reaction rate suddenly accelerated from very low to very high due to elimination of xenon-135 and boiling of cooling water in the core, the operators tried to shut it down by inserting all the control rods (it remains unclear if this was manually initiated, or if an automated system triggered the attempted shutdown). “floods” the discussion thread with a large number of incoherent or irrelevant messages; violates etiquette, exhibiting any form of aggressive, humiliating or abusive behavior ("trolling"); doesn’t follow standard rules of the English language, for example, is typed fully or mostly in capital letters or isn’t broken down into sentences.
r/chernobyl: A subreddit to discuss and research Chernobyl Disaster that happened on the night of April 26, 1986. Or did the show goof, and is a steam explosion more likely to be roughly 1/2 as forceful as a TNT blast of equivelent mass, which seems much more sane to me.It's a garbage number and those of us who understand nuclear safety analysis don't really know how the hell their "physicists" came up with it. Press J to jump to the feed. “While, personally, I can appreciate ‘too-soon’-type dark humor, it is not something that all people understand or find funny.” The moderator added, “On the other hand, there are those that do seek out this type of content and have a sense of humor about it.”Shathar, a 21-year-old Twitter user from Jordan. The guy picked up a block and minutes later his hand was practically dissolving.honestly?
The wiki page (and associated wiki pages, such as the one for the RBMK reactor) covers this in quite a bit of detail. double points for managing to pull off that project with style and charm, not self-seriousness.”“MEL f--kin rules they’re so consistently knocking it out of the park and everyone on the staff TiaThis covers it in good detail. Perilous in the extreme, though they didn't understand the extent of it. Directed by: Stephanie DeGroote.
“Most people do it specifically because they want to remember the site and what it meant to them. As the power level rose, the heat boiled some of the water in the reactor core.
