>>717555362
you can literally read all of the logs from the recording machines in the power plant when it happened
they ran the reactor at half power for far too long and poisoned the reactor (xenon byproducts) and proceeded to ignore/disable numerous safety features. the higher ups also ignored what happened at ignalina years earlier which exposed the flaw of the graphite tips but i dont remember if dyatlov/fomin/brukhanov were ever informed of it.

>>717545571
I thought every machine had a self-destruct button when I was a kid. I got to ride a digger when I was a kid and it paralyzed me with fear. Didn't help they do actually have big red buttons.

>>717548015
Hard to make a game about the horrors of radiation.
Even in that TV show they had to use dutch angles, dark rooms and suspense during the scene where they went into the plant to open some valves. Else it would have just looked like some lads taking a stroll and dying a week later.

They shutdown the computer that actually ran the reactor to do retarded stuff. They thought no one would retarded enough to do that on their cheap reactor design made to NOT be manipulated by retarded humans.

Wait until you find out that their crown jewel gun is held together by a folded piece of flimsy sheet metal and actuated by a twisted up peice of cheap guitar string and held in by just about nothing.

Different causes altogether.
Chernobyl was entirely preventable if either a) they did not ignore basic safety protocols when building it or b) the staff would have acted cautiously instead of trying to feed in more power when the power dropped without understanding why. Human error from the bottom to the soviet government.
Fukushima was caused by a natural disaster that caught them off guard and exposed flaws like "building your backup power generators on lower ground".

you can read about that too. they built it lower down so the reactors could be connected to bedrock to mitigate earthquake threats but at the same time this exposed it to fuckhuge tsunamis. the japanese were also warned back in 90s as well as further warnings about the seawall. onagawa was actually closer to the epicoenter of the 2011 quake but had much higher seawalls and didn't melt down.

There are 4 category 4 or above Nuclear meltdowns on record, all of which was caused by stupidity
>Saint Laurent
The French didn't know carbon dioxide doesn't cool uranium rods fast enough, the rods fused and melted into the core, creating corium causing a radioactive leak for months. (why it's called melt downs)
>Three Mile Island
Someone left a pressure valve open, causing all the coolant to leak/evaporate, core-chan overheated and melted. Americans over-panicked because a movie came out about corium digging a hole to China.
>Chernobyl
Ruskies made their core under water. Noticed that putting rods down caused water to go up (displacement) which makes reaction measurement unstable. So control rods were designed with graphite at the bottom to offset the rising water. Then some dude decided to run the nuclear safety test - to make sure meltdowns won't happen due to the evaporating water residue. It didn't work.
>Fukushima
Japs designed a Nuclear Powerplant that can withstand a Magnitue 8.2 Earthquake. The most powerful on record was 8.3, and it only happened once in recorded history.

>>Why? For the same reason our reactors do not have containment buildings around them like those in the West. The same reason we don't use properly enriched fuel in our cores. The same reason we are the only nation that builds water-cooled graphite-moderated reactors with a positive void coefficient... It's cheaper.
I mean, as long as it gets the job done I guess

>>717557646
Its all dependent on the actual design of their reactor. Soviet reactors were graphite moderated, water cooled reactors.
There's actually a probability of neutrons being absorbed which is dependent on their speed, this is known as the cross section and each material has its own cross section. Slower moving neutrons were more likely to be absorbed by the U-235 in fuel. Well emitted neutrons from fission are fast, so you need to slow them down, known as moderation.
Now in the US, our reactors use water to moderate (slow down) the neutrons, but water also absorbs neutrons a lot more than graphite does. We get around this by having more U-235 in our fuel (enrichment). The Soviets instead attached graphite tips to the ends of their rods that would both moderate the neutrons and keep water out of that area. Remember in the show where the lead scientist said they cut corners and used lower enriched fuel? To make up for this, they used those graphite tips to artificially strengthen their core and not spend money on actually enriching the fuel more since that is an expensive process.

That didn't matter. It withstood it. It's the wave that destroyed their back up generators and fucked everything up not the earthquake.

Anon, the reason it's "cheaper" is because if you make a 3 billon dollar project in Russia, 2 of those billions disappear magically because of corruption. Slavs are the absolute masters of corruption and syphoning money out of where they ought to be, always have been and always will be. The reactors ended up shit and unsafe because the money meant to make them not shit and unsafe disappeared. That's why the communist party did everything as cheap as humanly possible, because the less money is used in a project the less can disappear to corruption.

It's a place like anywhere else ultimately. But a lot of people still handle japs with kid gloves. They think everything they do is great and kawaii. japan is great but being realistic is important.

I wouldn't call that stupidity. That's rotten luck. The fact that it also caused a tsunami to hit it, while the situation was was stabilizing, probably didn't help either.
Just one record-breaking disaster wouldn't have caused a unrecoverable issue. Two at the same time, however, was a serious cunt-punt to any notion of manageable emergencies.

I don't believe in radiation

>>717558585
Refinement is an expensive process. U-235 only makes up 0.72% of naturally occurring uranium so it takes a hefty amount of ore to make enriched fuel. It is also reliant on how the soviets actually operated. "Shit we can use less ore and less money if we just put in cheap ass graphite tips? Oh is there minor danger about doing that way? Whatever, just do it, we won't operate like that anyways"

>>717557232
that earthquake and tsunami really was one in a million, and there was basically zero warning. Even places that actually had good safety measures in place got absolutely fucked.

>>717558730
yeah bro its all just going to shit, everything is getting worse, the youths dont understand anything, its all over, etc. etc. im sure its not just that you're getting old and upset about everything because you're bitter about your own problems

stop being such a little faggot bitch like aristotle who was ass-blasted from decades of fucking bussy:

"They [Young People] have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things -- and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning -- all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else."

>>717558671
It takes massive determination and money to insure against a rare disaster. Chances are you won't get vindicated in your life time. Just think of the shit this guy must have to go through to protect his beloved village.
>>When the mayor of the Japanese coastal village of Fudai ordered a 51ft-high wall built in the 1970s to protect his people from the potential ravages of a tsunami, he was called crazy, foolish and wasteful. Fudai, about 320 miles north of Tokyo, has a pretty, white-sand beach that lured tourists every summer. But Mr Wamura never forgot how quickly the sea could turn. Massive tsunamis flattened the coast in 1933 and 1896. "When I saw bodies being dug up from the piles of earth, I had no words," he wrote of the 1933 tsunami. Mr Wamura left office three years after the floodgate was completed. He died in 1997 at age 88. Since the (2011) tsunami, residents have been visiting his grave to pay respects. At his retirement, Mr Wamura stood before village employees to bid farewell. He told them: "Even if you encounter opposition, have conviction and finish what you start. In the end, people will understand."
That wall cost the local and central government a combined 30 million dollars

>>717558671
I didn't mention it because the 'tsunami angle' comes with a fuck ton of baggage that's not worth the effort in a short summary.
>Japs designed for 5m tsunamis
>scientists shout 10m tsunamis are possible

He described the basic principles of the nuclear reactor and said it was beautiful, and blamed the failure on the ineptitude of the operator and the severe cost cutting measures that the energy committee took at the expense of safety, and finally, most importantly, the coverup of the discovery of the design flaw. That's the most damning part, as the show agrees, that the reactor design could have been handled safely for its entire lifespan if the USSR had just admitted to its own fucking engineers that there was a safety problem that needed to be kept in mind.

>>717559379
Ah yes, stood tall, until one day it suddenly collapsed for no reason...

>>717548015
the radiation threat isn't

you would need to go lick the melted slag of the reactor to die, the exclusion zone is otherwise safe enough to live in, you simply might have an increased chance of cancer after 10 years, but virtually all of the 'bad stuff' has decayed away.

Japan fucked up badly. They put the backup generators for the the cooling system in the fucking basement, which flooded and knocked them all out when the tsunami hit. This vulnerability was realized literally before the facility was completed and yet no corrections were made.

Yes; it was a perfect mixture of things which appeal to basically the general audience
The only people who didn't like it were Russian Vatniks, and Ukrainians filmmakers-- Russians because it "made them look incompetent" and because it pissed on the legacy of the Glorious Soviet Union, and Ukrainians filmmakers because they didn't hire any Ukrainian filmmakers to help out, and the used the some graphics from an indie filmmaker without permission (HBO actually settled out of court with him recently iirc)

Devil's advocate: there are genuine reasons to tip the control rods with graphite, and nobody really anticipated they could act as a primer for supercriticality all moving in at once because they expected the boron to immediately counteract that.
The real UNFATHOMABLE idiocy is the fact that their control rods operated on a motorized track. And if that track failed, the control rods stopped moving. Do you know what holds the control rods in a sensible american reactor? Electromagnets powered by the plant itself. You hit scram, that power cuts, and gravity takes care of the rest. As fail-safe as possible. Something goes wrong, ANYTHING goes wrong, gravity can't be turned off.
The steam explosion made the control rods in Chernobyl jam, and the control rods unable to move. This was not a matter of price, as the miniseries tried to claim. This was simple, sheer balls to the wall retardation and putting a fail-deadly mechanism into your nuclear death core.

you can't judge soviet engineering with a western lens. The kill switch wasn't what sticks out. Everything about the RBMK is designed to get hotter incase of failure. PWR reactors (west) are designed to ignite reactions from dead states. RBMKs are designed to control reactions from live states.

It's like the difference in design is like pushing and pulling to move something.

Nothing about this notion includes "put your control rods on moving parts that can jam and stop working".
The control rods are sacred in nuclear reactor construction. They are your Ascalon, they must be primed to slay the dragon at any moment. Even if you really, really, really don't fucking want to. The kill switch must ALWAYS kill. The possibility of the kill switch not killing is a null proposal.

In normal operation it would never be a problem, the core issue at chernobyl was that they INTENTIONALLY TURNED OFF 4 SEPARATE REDUNDANT FAILSAFE SYSTEMS then switched crews, didn't explain the test they were doing to the new crew, and ignored multiple obvious warning signs in the 20 minutes leading to the meltdown out of fear of political consequences for saying no
