I waited all weekend it's finally here. Bless you Movie Munchies!

Work can't finish fast enough 🔥 this'll be great!

Nuclear Energy is not just about creating weapons. Nuclear Power Plants provide abundant source of energy and is considered far more efficient than coal or thermal source of energy. The more advanced alternative would be Thorium reactors but that's still 25 to 30 odd years away from now. A lot of countries have nuclear power plants. You just need a lot of capital, infrastructure and skilled individuals to manage it. In fact Vietnam is currently planning to get their first nuclear plant - Ninh Thuận 1 Nuclear Power Plant.

I'm also happy that you and Katie reacted to this show, Chi. Thank you

chris brown

Been looking forward to this

Great love this series.

I love this TV series, true events with themes of communism/corruption/disaster. Surprisingly nuclear is the safest form of energy and are much safer now with generation III reactors. Energy source Approx. deaths per TWh Coal ~25 deaths/TWh globally Oil ~18 Biomass ~5 Natural gas ~3 Hydropower ~1.3 (higher if rare dam failures included) Nuclear ~0.03 (including Chernobyl + Fukushima) Generation IV with cheap abundant thorium being what should be seen as the solution to fossil fuels. Uranium ~94-95% of Fuel unused as waste with 10,000 – 100,000+ years of storage vs Thorium Can burn up to 80-99% of the fuel with 300 – 500 years of waste storage.

Beautiful reaction ladies

PapaXan

Wait, True Detective is coming?? Oh that'll be quite a ride!

This isn’t a spoiler, but they weren’t creating anything nefarious. It was just a nuclear power plant. However the show and story attempts to show the conditions and events for why it exploded, and how people went about trying to resolve it/investigate etc.

Steven

It still blows my mind that the writer of Scary Movie 3 and 4 created this show and wrote it by himself. If you really want to research this event, there are a lot of great books. Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham.

nuclear power is just heating rods and creating steam and turning turbines.

Hello Munchies. Let's go back in the nuclear hell of Chernobyl. The swedish plant who detectet the radiation was 1300km away frow Chernobyl. I spoke with my mom about that after the first reaction and made some research. the radiation arrived may 2 1986 in Belgium. it was limited but as I said last week, many women lost their children in their belly, but my mom said that most of their dead foetus was difformed. "I don't dare to breath" Don't worry about that, katie .... you don't need to breath it. the radiation will go throught your skin... You know, Today, as we learned from Chernobyl's event, Nuclear power is one of the most secure, efficient and profitable way to produce electricity. Again, the real problem is politics, how we deal with wasted materials and security. Let's say the "nuclear energy" question is one very often spoke about in politics here. for short, "how long will we used them before going on clean energy? how secure it is? is it better to go back to coal or something else more secure than nuclear?" And so on... Even today, Chernobyl and Prypiat are mostly inhabitated. just a few people are living there. but mostly, nature is healing. Wild life are growing up in number and plant are also growing back. BTW, some animals and mushrooms mutated !! Some mushroom are now "eating" radiations ! nature is healing herself. Oh Chi... I agree this show is really hard to see. I like your comment about " we pass our life to gain money, but in the end it's for nothing". Clearly, money can't save our life in the end... This is really scary when you see how things happen. Anyway, this show is very interresting and very good. thanks for the discovery! Have a wonderful day Munchies. (and be brave for the following one! Something is teeling me: you may need it....)

This is a great show. I'm really looking forward to the next episode

Gregory A Mann

It is estimated that between 30000 and 120000 people died due to the exposure over the past 40 years. No one knows for sure. Many of the cancers take time to develop.

A thousand years of sacrifice in our veins." "I spit on the people who did this, and I curse the price I have to pay. But I’m making my peace with it, and now you make yours." 👨‍🚒 👨‍🚒 👨‍🚒

Joel Purvis

To add to this, Modern Nuclear plants are some of the safest and least polluting plants in existence. Coal burning plants are much more dangerous. Chernobyl was a very dangerous plant and would not have been approved in most countries even by 1970s standards. By comparison, the most significant nuclear accident in American history was in the 80s at a plant called Three Mile Island. It was huge news also but there was not a single fatality. Modern Nuclear plants are far safer even then Three Mile Island. The meltdown that happened at Chernobyl would be impossible in a modern facility.

King Bob

True but Thorium is not a fully proven concept, Modular Gen 4 are even safer than large Gen 4 simply because they are smaller and sometimes designed to be underground.

chris brown

Great reaction looking forward to Part 3. Episode 4 is a tough watch and in Episode 5 they explain what the test they were running and why the reactor blew up.

Patrick

Another amazing reaction to an ep of this amazing show, all the shock to the scale of the danger and the empathy shown to the individuals involved is so great. I saw the turn on Boris coming and I still loved it 😁 from "How did you get this job? You are fired!" to "Yaay he is learning, oh he is so saad" 😅

Burárum

Wish they put more research into Thorium after the 60's. SMRs made in a factory would be a lot cheaper too, I think a massive cost is the interest for loans to build the large plants that take years to construct. Problem is, if we ramp up nuclear, Uranium 235 is pretty scarce so eventually we might need Thorium, then the end goal would be fusion after that.

Daryl 👽

Chi, your dress is so beautiful! That was a great reaction, ladies. Detective Chi is now on the move. Haha I don't think i can comprehend that this happened in real life, and how recent it was. 1986!! I remember researching about it too when the show first came out. There's TONS of video documentations of the events as it unfolded. That scene with the helicopter, when it happened, they caught it on video... It's a heavy show but so good..

tommy23

She may have been referring to the test that went awry.

Alec Dacyczyn

It was nowhere near that many. Low thousands.

Kris Wustrow

LOVE the reactions!! These 2 girls act as if they don't live under a Communist government right now... with only one state-run media, and only one party in control (Just like in this mini-series).

Daryl 👽

I know it's based on real events, blah blah blah, but be careful of the comments. There's a lot of spoilers! 🥶🥶🥶

Mario

I love your reactions to this show, you're both really attentive, emotionally intelligent and curious! Also, I hope this show won't scare you off nuclear energy. It's safe and very efficient, but what's wrong is when authoritarian and secretive governments have a culture of fear, that's the problem!

Gregory A Mann

Sorry - 1 too many zeros on both. 3000 to 12000. It depends on which agency is doing the estimate.

Mondayisminceday

They're this upset now....Katie is going to need some welfare checks and after care support following episode 4.

Jeff I.

Seriously, it always happens with Chernobyl reactions. People start giving out factual stuff that is discussed in a future episode or in the epilogue at the end of the show.

Tim

Great job, girls! But, I wish all 6 episodes could be shown quicker instead of spread out over 6 weeks.

Matthew Maxon

He wasn't superstitious about the glass. He just wanted one that had just been washed because there was less dust that was going to be on it. Dust that was contaminated.

Mario

Spoilers my bro

Gam

They were wrong about the three volunteers, not living beyond a week. The military branch of nuclear war, gave them enough body suits protections, that they live a long time. However, the two that went, in the water days earlier, to opened the water valves, with no protected suits, died within a week.

Piranther

Katie, back then Communist countries didn't have news stations, they only had government controlled television and radio. During the Cold War, which was communist countries VS capitalist countries, all information from outside sources was kept secret in communist countries. They didn't want their citizens to know that they were poor and capitalist countries were rich. Russia's newspaper was named Pravda, which means truth, but it was mostly lies. This is literally what the Cold War was all about, suppressing information about which type of economy worked better.
