Technicians inspect fuel channels above the core of Reactor No. 3 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which is separated from the radioactive wreckage of its twin by 200 feet and a concrete wall. Seconds before the 1986 explosion, an engineer noticed the lids of No. 4’s fuel channels dancing up and down. Moments later, the reactor exploded, causing multiple tons of nuclear fuel to escape into the atmosphere over the course of the disaster.
Knowing what happened only years prior and mere yards away, the feeling of walking over these fuel rods and seeing the pale blue glow emitting between the gaps when I shot this was incredibly eerie. Despite the horrific accident of 1986, this reactor was only taken offline in December of 2000.
Impressed with what Craig Mazin and the crew have created, I watched the HBO miniseries “Chernobyl” repeatedly, but I’m not sure what to think about the resulting increase in tourism to the Exclusion Zone.

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield) 更年期に悩んだら

bengz99 I am watching the series again and still can't make up what or how to feel. I went for that tour before the tv show and the latter totally changed my view of my tour experience. It made me sadder and somewhat angry and frustrated at how the events were covered up. I read in a recent news article heee in Kyiv that one of the survivors is finally getting compensated, roughly less than U$200 pension per month. A measly sum for the work/sacrifice he did...😔

bortzjc Great shot! But the HBO production, unfortunately, is _highly_ inaccurate. For example, remember that part about a possible 2 to 4 megaton thermal explosion? That was completely impossible. They should have had nuclear scientists as advisors for the show, but they must not have. Or, if they did, they ignored them.

volvochix “...an engineer noticed the lids of No. 4’s fuel channels dancing up and down.” My G*d that’s just so horrifying!!!! It is fascinating to see the post-accident pictures and to understand what happened...but WHY would anyone want to “tour” it??? 😞☢️

bortzjc @alvinong720 it's an entertaining show, but highly historically and scientifically inaccurate, unfortunately. That thing about the "2-4 megaton thermal explosion," for example, was not even a remote possibility.

infinite.pixels @tbymrtn it's called The Chernobyl Podcast. They have it wherever podcasts are available. They also have it on YouTube. The thumbnail is someone in a radioactive suite.

mairheather Having recently watched the HBO mini series "Chernobyl", this photograph elicits even more meaning. What a disastrous and heartbreaking tragedy....on so many levels.
