Chernobyl

[indomitable1319]

Alright, guys. I have a little question for all of you that remember this tragic event.

Back then, a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, Russia exploded, killing many people and rendering the place too deadly for any life.

I'd like you guys to share your opinions on it and suggest any possible courses of action towards the event.

It was a careless handling of a reactor, things like those should be kept well monitored.

The radiation wasn't just around Russia, today's Ukraine you could also say..., it spread on the west. I'm from the Chernobyl generation, pretty sure there was still radiation when I was born. South East Europe isn't far from Ukraine you know... Do you know why actually sometimes conspiracies about various other things may be true? Because the event where USSR decided to hide at first that such thing had happened and even said that something like that happened on the west, when they are able to hide such thing, why not hide many other secrets and not just Russia, USA and many other governments.

What courses towards the event? It's a dead scrapped place, showing what happens to a desrted place with no human touch for ages. Better yet, think about Fukishima or other nuclear plants for that matter...

Course of action towards an event decades ago? huh?

 

[indomitable1319]

Probably since the radiation's settled down for these past few decades, we could probably do something about it now.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Nope it's a museum. Also featured in 'Life after people' showing what happens with deserted places.

 

[boomwolf]

Actually not really, because nothing else should live there either, its deadly to everything, not just humans...
Problem in wildlife does not know any better, so you get irradiated wildlife...

And so begins the age of lethal mutants?

^ Radiation has long decayed there or it is at negligable amounts.

 

[Crazed_seal2]

Go to the core of the reactor and say that

The area around Chernobyl is actually rich in animal and natural life, although the amount of radiation is till considered to be too big for human life, and probably will be for hundreds of years due to the slow decay of radiation.

Of course, if u gave the reactor a tongue, smth could happen to you

Well, Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not far away from Kiev. There are some people stuill living in the region that is counter as radioactive area and they're completely fine and their children are not mutants. It's just not recommended to pick berries, catch fish and do other stuff like that in the region.. the power plant's reactor (There are three in total, one was in progress before catastrophe, two were not damaged or anything, one went boom) is covered in Sarcophagus that prevents radiation from spreading, and they're planing on building a new, larger sarkophagus around the reactor.

So no, it's not in Russia, the area around it is not dealy to live, and there are no need in additional actuions because there were some taken long time ago and some are just in case beeing prepared already.

You know, due to the radiation wildlife really flourished in Chernobyl. You can still go there, if you're careful -- and I once read something about an elderly woman still living there.

As I already mentioned, some people returned there and they're living fine... of course they don't have much neighbours, but they don'tr have any health problems...

And Wildlife flourished not because of radiation, but because people were to affraid to hunt for meat or whatever else of animals, thinking that they might be get poisoned by radioactivity.

They should blow up another reactor there so i can play S.T.A.L.K.E.R in real life! jk

A clan of cancer-infected kids are going to come murder you.

On the topic of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, though, there's little to no scientific value to be found in the gameplay. Chemical radiation does not transform humans into terrible, bloodthirsty mutants. Depending on the amount of grays (measurement units) of radiation absorbed, symptoms or effects vary, but, in most cases, rapid, uncontrolled cellular mitosis takes place, leading to cancer and small bodily deformities, especially in newborn babies of infected mothers. If a massive amount is absorbed, well, then somatic cells die, eventually leading to death.

It's all a cover up. If you expose yourself you get super powers.

Be right back. Going to local nuclear waste dump, and then to the clothes shop to select a cape.
