Chernobyl- a 3.6 Roentgen RAGE! (Patreon)

HBOs Chernobyl is an interesting mix between stunning detail, and baffling inaccuracy. Was the worst nuclear disaster in history not enough? Did they really need to add the factor of a million (at least) to add drama? They went to great lengths to get the style of the glasses, the clothes, the signs and even the license plates on the cars correct. Why then add 6 more zeros on what could possibly have happened?

But the ‘hell on Earth’ version of Chernobyl is by no means limited to HBO. The amount of bunk out there on the ‘elephants foot’ beggars belief! ‘So radioactive that to look at it is to die’ ‘the most dangerous object on Earth’….well 30 years ago, that might not have been far from the truth. Now you can have your photo taken with it. 

Im now working on a video based on the actual amount of radiation released from Chernobyl, and how potentially dangerous it actually was.
