Ok, that show is a heavy one, not only because of the topic, but also because it might be a bit hard for people from other cultures to fully grasp the reasoning and mentality of the people involved back then. I'm not even talking exclusively Americans, even Europeans outside of the slavic and former soviet countries might not completely get why some of the characters did the tings they did, said the thing they said. It's important to understand that the people in the Soviet union where very different in how they thought and reacted, compared to many western countries, including America, today and then. You have the difference in mentality, the pressures and faults of the Soviet union, the need to preserve face above all else, even above truth, even above saving lives. The Soviet union was to be seen by anyone and everyone as the pinnacle of society and anything and everything would be done to preserve that image. Knowing that, it makes the reaction of the committee members more understandable. Mind you, understandable but not necessarily logical. Pride and not being the one at fault was more important than safety and logic. The type of power plant that was Chornobyl was a very specific one and in the later episodes it will be explained why they thought it impossible for the core to explode and how it did anyway. Also radiation is the single most terrifying thing on this planet, at least for me. There are a lot of horrible ways to die, but a fatal dose of radiation horrifies me like nothing else on this planet. My ramblings have gotten away from me, but all I wanted to say is, that the mentality and culture of the people there at this time, as well as the political background and the stupidity and faults of the many as well as individuals, play a huge role in the Chornobyl disaster. As for the question how long something can stay radioactive: depending on what material it is, the half-life of the material can have just mere seconds, but others have half-lives of hundreds or millions or billions of years.

You should check out 3 mile island also thats a crazy doc as well of a plant here in the US that almost could have had a meltdown. The crazy sad thing is too that in Russia at that time expecially you didn't have rights to be able to just leave that situation. They would arrest you or possibly kill you for not following orders. Their government had such control over their people, and also today, that you couldn't just do what you wanted. And the soil, air, water, everything in that area was radioactive at that point so even staying inside our outside you weren't safe from the exposure. This show gave me such anxiety bc I live close to a nuclear plant but also my parents, sister, and husband work in chemical plants and it can be very dangerous work if something went wrong. I believe at the time of this too it never happened before and this type of plant shouldn't have had this happen to their knowledge of what they knew of nuclear plants. So them not believing it at this point makes sense a little bit in this episode

thank u next

To clear up some questions: You asked how that "rock" became radioactive. That was a piece from the core of the reactor. And after it exploded, honestly anything NEAR it (without proper protection) would be exposed and then become radioactive itself. For instance, once he touched that fragment, his hand became radioactive. If someone then touched his hand, now they're exposed to. Second question, you wanted to know how long that would be radioactive. In scientific terms, that depends on how long the "half life" is. In terms of Chernobyl specifically, it's said that it won't be habitable again for 20,000 years.. so a LONG long time. They will explain more as the series progresses but yeah its bad
