Best birthday gift, I’ve been waiting for this upload lol.

Licha Reacts!

Happy Birthday!! In my opinion, people born in January are the best out of everyone (mines the 31st hehe)! I hope its a great b-day!! ♡♡

Freja Corbinne

It starts nightmarish and then just keeps getting worse

Deke_HFX

Happy Birthday my guy

Michael West

A great series. I think you will really enjoy it.

Freja Corbinne

I'm still about 18 minutes into the reaction so I'm not sure if you figured it out before the end, but Chernobyl was a civilian nuclear power station in Soviet Ukraine (now just Ukraine). It was just for electricity and had nothing to do with bombs. Edit: oh yeah I forgot they say this explicitly later anyway

Zach VanDyke

I was supposed to be born on the 31st but was a week late. Hyped for you to watch this!

IcySystem

Oh damn, that intro had me laughing hard. "The American school system"... say no more. 😂

I have not seen this show myself yet, so i dont know what happens in this show itself and what is changed. But it seems like its not going to explain basics for you. This was a power plant. They use radioactive rods as fuel to generate heat for energy. The problem is they lost control of the balance and it exploded / began to melt down. I wont talk about the details as to why because I dont know if the show will go into that. And yes, Iodine pills are used to somewhat combat radiation exposure to the body, more specifically the thyroid in your lower neck in front of the wind pipe, as it is the most sensitive organ to radiation. The pills do a little, but not a whole lot. I know a fair amount about radiation already going into this with you. It may help you understand whats happening more if you go a short read about what symptoms from large radiation exposures do, and time frames. And remember the golden rule about radiation safety is typically, Time, Distance, and Shielding. Less time, more distance, and more shielding to be the safest. Its basically why you see the ones getting very close immediately turning red from burns. Some radiation is made of just electrons, some are just protons and such from an atom. But this is mostly gamma radiation, its more similar to microwaves, only BILLIONS of times more powerful.

It's an incredible show, so well done. As others have said it is nothing to do with bombs. It's a nuclear power plant, they generate electricity. I remember when I was a kid within a week of the catastrophe, farmers in the UK (I'm in England) reporting high levels of radiation in the farm animals! The levels of incompetence were off the scale, but the workers were just doing their jobs. The USSR was run differently to UK or USA! You did what you were told to do, or the sh!t hit the fan! I look forward to the rest of the show! It will blow your mind!

Licha! I knew it! I knew you were an Aquarius like me (I’m Feb 10). You share a birthday with my mom as well! ♒️

Itss_NattyJ

Happy birthday, Cam! Can I call you Cam? Lol

Such a good show, but it gets under your skin. Hope you enjoy

There is a lot to be said about the technical aspects of this series, such as dosimeters, the unit roentgen (Röntgen), and so on. The visual effects of the particles are not unrealistic. While radiation itself is invisible, dust particles in the air can carry (or rather partly consist of) radioactive material. One of the biggest dangers, if not the biggest, is inhaling those particles. Normally, high-energy alpha particles are blocked by materials as thin as paper, but once they are inside your lungs, you’re essentially “cooked” as you like to say. Let me know if you have any questions. I served in the German army as a CBRN defense soldier (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear defense - not sure if that's the correct translation), and I now teach physics and chemistry at school.

Freja Corbinne

question, then: intense beta radiation can cause skin burns, alpha doesn't and gamma causes damage throughout the tissue. but beta radiation isn't going to travel through a thick fireman's glove. so is the depiction of Vasily's friend who gets severely burned by touching the graphite realistic? if so then what caused it? would it have been neutron radiation? maybe by making his glove radioactive?

Like many have said before this was a Nuclear Power Plant that generated ELECTRICITY . FYI :In 2023, about 4,178 billion kilowatthours (kWh) (or about 4.18 trillion kWh) of electricity were generated at utility-scale electricity generation facilities in the United States.1 About 60% of this electricity generation was from fossil fuels—coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases. About 19% was from nuclear energy, and about 21% was from renewable energy sources. Source U.S. Energy Info Admin website.

I was 8 years old when this happend, lived in Oslo. I remember there was a lot of fear when we learnd what had happend. After the Chernobyl accident in 1986, strict restrictions were imposed on wild meat, mushrooms and berries due to high levels of radioactive cesium-137, and although the levels have fallen, Norwegian authorities must still measure and advise on the content of these foods, which can have high levels in some years due to the ability of mushrooms to absorb cesium from the soil. I know this looks scary and it might give a very chill look back to a time with a scary goverment in Russia but I got to say as someone who lived at that time that we today lives in a more scary time. The Russian and Amercian goverment is actually covering up more today then at that time. The main diffrence is that they do not even cover up anymore, yesterday a womman (god bless her) from Minesota was gunned down. It was filmed, its stupidly clear it was a cold blodded murder and the leaders just says, she was a terrorist, it was selv defence and they telll that to the TV before they even know what happend. The president says she was clearly behaving bad and got what she decerved..... I do not think you could get away eith this crimenality in the 80s, so watch this as a passed world, but know we have allready surpassed it in real time, specialy in USA.....just a litle wake up call.

Jordan Clark

This show is so terrifying and it’s not even a horror show

Christian M

Late but excited to get into this journey with you. Such a great show and well done

Ducactus

This all explained at the appropriate times throughout the show, the vast majority of people don't know the ins-and-outs of most of these points and it is always fun to see people learn them for the first time throughout the show, until people like you come along and explain it all ahead of time

Mike Smith

Again. I haven’t watched the show myself, it is also my first time. And given they didn’t really even explain this was a power plant well in the first episode, the thought was to let someone have a little background info to be less confused and enjoy the show more. So bug off with the attitude or just don’t speak.

Licha Reacts!

Wow that is so cool! I didn't even know the German army had something like the CBRN! I'm sure that would've been a really fascinating job

Mike Smith

This really isnt the place to bring up that subject. But the body cam of the actual individual shows a completely different story from the poor angle footage you speak of.

IcySystem

Very interesting question. I don’t know the answer, all I can do is estimate, or a lot more fact-checking would be required. I don’t have formal education in injuries or burns beyond basic first aid in the context of my professions. However, I’ve read somewhere that the reddening associated with a radiation burn usually appears a few hours after exposure, not minutes or whatever it was in the show. Distance is a really important factor: if the distance to a source is halved, the radiation intensity increases by a factor of four. Picking up a radioactive object is therefore extremely dangerous, obviously. Graphite consists mostly of C-12 and C-13. Some of the carbon turns into C-14, but overall it’s not much, and C-14 is a weak beta emitter (low energy) with a half-life of 5,700 years. So, assuming the glove blocks most of the beta radiation, the cause of the injury must be something else. You could argue that the graphite block carries a lot of dust and debris containing other radioactive elements from inside the reactor. Radiation of high energy beta emitters probably pass through the gloves. My guess is that this is mostly the show’s dramatic way of telling the audience that the reactor has exploded. Luckily the internet is full of reddit nerds, who have done some research. Should be easy to verify these numbers. Let me know if you find out more about this or have some more insights. https://www.reddit.com/r/nuclear/comments/bz5iw9/whats_the_deal_with_the_graphite_in_chernobyl/

Mike Smith

Beta radiation is not all the same. The beta in this event was so extremely high energy intense, those gloves ain't stopping it.

IcySystem

That's party true, some of the radiation was extremly high energy, but beta radiation from C-14 decay is low energy. I think the question is, what caused it, if not C-14. The firefighter picked up a piece of graphite after all. You seem to generalize all of the beta radiation in the entire event. The source still matters. It matters which material you pick up. The reddit post mentions a lot of potential isotopes. You could check the energies of those decays.

Dan Tydeman

This series is so good. Really crazy and makes you really wonder about humanity but so well documented. I also want to add that everyone who served to stop the spread are absolute heroes and no one even knew their names before this game out. Rest easy brothers

Morten Stenseth

Its things like thsis, its the same story just shown from a worse view, a close up shiows you nothing.....

My_Cousin_Mose

If you're 5 min in and are thinking of doing a drinking game where you take a shot every time Licha says bombs- DON'T!!! You may die lol. Just kidding (well sort of please don't play that game) I also thought Chernobyl had something to do with nuclear bombs until I watched this. Sometimes I wonder if the US school system is as bad as it is deliberately.

Not Bombs... Power like electricity we do the same thing in some areas... The core melted down and released radiation Nuclear Power Plants Commercial nuclear reactors that generate electricity use low-enriched uranium (LEU) containing only 3-5% uranium-235, with the remaining 95-97% being non-fissile uranium-238. This relatively low enrichment level is sufficient to sustain a controlled chain reaction for electricity generation while minimizing proliferation risks. Nuclear Weapons Nuclear weapons require highly enriched uranium (HEU) with much higher concentrations of uranium-235. Technically, a weapon can be made with as little as 20% uranium-235, but this is considered the threshold minimum. Countries with nuclear arsenals typically use weapons-grade uranium enriched to approximately 90% uranium-235 because higher enrichment allows for smaller, lighter, and more efficient weapons.
