Today, on the 33rd anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, we premiere a new video chronicling the history of the New Safe Confinement, the miracle of modern engineering which encases the nuclear power plant's damaged reactor.
The video features dramatic new footage from inside the reactor's turbine hall and the operation to slide the New Safe Confinement into place.
The structure successfully completed its final commissioning test yesterday.

Your pancreas I think absorbs iodine and when radioactive fallout is coming down you don’t want your pancreas to absorb any of the radioactive stuff so you take in over amounts to make sure it is full while the radioactive fallout is hot. Could have helped tremendously is you being here now.

Whichever absorbs iodine you make sure it is chock full before any radioactive iodine comes around if some is on the way from nuclear fallout so it doesn't take in any of the radioactive kind. Chernobyl was not fallout like ash from a bomb but more like just smoke so I don't really know how similar it worked.

The reactors were shut down from 1986 to 1988, you couldn't operate reactors 1 through 3 right next door to an ongoing radioactive fire while the site was strewn with lumps of radioactive space cake. They had to clean the site up before they could restart the other 3 reactors and it took 2 years.

I have no reason other than morbid curiosity, but after seeing parts of the ruined building 4 I want a photo/video of the reactor. I know there's no way due to human safety/funding issues with building a robot but just to see that black hole of an object would be surreal.

Don't forget the technical challenge, it's harder than just sending a robot in there. It's probably still extremely hot. The radiation-emitting from the fuel causes all sorts of issues to electronic systems. In that short video of some of the melted fuel, you saw a lot of burst of static, that's due to gamma radiation hitting the photo-optic sensor overloading those pixels (Light is a form of radiation, and that gamma radiation is just really hot) which the computer registers as white. Even if you get an old film camera a lot of types of radiation has penetrating power. Same reason why you don't take film through an x-ray machine at an airport just scaled way up. Not to mention controlling any robot, they have sent them in before but the radiation can cause electrical surges in the wiring messing up data sent remotely through wire or wireless and on the circuit board itself. It's pretty difficult designing a board where random electrical pulses can happen anywhere on the board. You'll have to try and shield it from radiation and that means adding layers of Lead which makes the robot a lot heavier so designing something that can carry enough protection and move around is a super difficult challenge. Those white suits are only good for indirect exposure and keeping particles of radioactive dust off you. If the Geiger counter starts going off you need to run.

The black mess at the center of any shot of the ruins *IS* the reactor, unless you mean you want to dig through the radioactive rhubarb crumble. There are a few videos from within the sarcophagus and reactor, where do you think the "elephant's foot" is located? It's in the control rod assembly room directly below the reactor on one of the two formerly-flooded basement levels that divers had to un-fuck a few days after the accident.

I may be from Canada but we all live on the same planet. Responding to such tragedy in a timely fashion was at the utmost importance not only for chernobyl but the intire world . This sets the bar high with expectations to clean up after such a nuclear disaster . We use it we need to be responsible for it . As we can see no mater what there will be lasting effects from 1986 for hudreds of years to come . I'm in great confadince after watching this that their are brilliant minds in this world and and hoping that they come together and make plans to ensure the safety of the only planet we have to live on . It is possible 😊

How long could people work there for and what measures did they put in place for them to stay safe? Have any of them become sick since working there i wonder? What's the long term positive impact this will have in place? Either way still an absolutely fantastic job

*Thank you!!* Methods used to erect, install then finish the NSC are clearer. The style of structure and ongoing purpose is vastly different than merely a replacement equal to that of the old sarcophagus. Keeping the unpainted steel corrosion-free by maintaining the ventilation system over the next 💯 years, hopefully far beyond seems extremely difficult in a rapidly changing world, poised for even larger challenges. Curious to see if work done on the destroyed reactor beneath the surface of this colossal container will minimize any risk to both this new construction- and surrounding environment.

It is fascinating that a disaster like Chernobyl can actually be the source of reasons for optimism about the future. For example, people often talk about a manned mission to Mars. One major problem is that the surface of Mars is a very hostile radiological environment. It turns out disaster sites like Chernobyl and Fukushima are excellent laboratories for developing technologies for working in very hostile radiological environments. These places may ultimately force people to develop valuable technologies that would not be created otherwise.
