I was a US navy nuclear worker a while back, and we had a full book on both chernobyl and the 3 mile island accidents available to us during prototype training in South carolina.

Zero radiation from 3 mile island was released into the enviroment, there was zero increase in dosimeter readings of plant workers on shift at the time. Yes, a core meltdown isn't a good thing, and far from it. However, the big difference between the two accidents was the reactor design and containment structures.

At 3 mile island, every possible thing that the operators did on shift that day was opposite to what the reactors designers intended for that situation of no water in the reactor vessel, and the design still managed to not reach critical mass.

At Chernoybl, however, the design was flawed from the start, the operators had little to no experience with nuclear theory or operations, and a containment structure was considered 'too expensive' to build.

2 examples of accidents at power plants, 2 very different results. Nuclear power isn't unsafe when executed properly with constant training, equipment checks, proper oversight from 3rd party regulators, etc...

although you posted over two years ago, this site may be used by some people as an historical record, so i feel i must correct you as nothing in your post contains factual information.

The MOVIE 'The China Syndrome' was put out on general release about one week BEFORE Three Mile island incident. I sincerly doubt that your 'pets' died of caner due to TMI, as you infer. no deaths have been directly attributed to the TMI incident. How do you know it was cancer that killed your pets, did you have some kind of postmortom done?

there is a vast difference between the disaster in the ukraine in 86 as is being discussed here and the incident in pennsylvania in 79.

If anyone's interested then they should look up SL-1, which was a military reactor in the US.

Rebel Shuttle some of the twisted rods are indeed coming from the reactor becausse they where there 2 hold the graphite in place!!!Buttt most of them are steampipes and reinforcing steel from concrete wall and roof section that came down with the blast!!!

I've heard a lot of mention of the aerial photographs and the hazards, but not much mention of some footage I once saw of regular citizens on the bridge and the top of the hotel in Pripyat. They were photographing the fire which was visible through the hole in the side of the building. It was a pure-white glowing fire (perhaps the graphite burning). They were likely getting gamma and xrays focused through their corneas, directed straight into their brains, amplified by the camera's view-finder lens. Ouch!

Yeah that was definately taken while the sarcophagus was constructed, still a seriously high amount of radiation, poor bastards.

The film was publicly released a few weeks before the t.m.i. accident.

¿Cuales fueron las magnitudes reales del accidente? Es una gran dsicución, y creo que nadie tendrá una respuesta precisa. Sinceramente, creo que no debemos exagerar los alcances de este accidente, pero tampoco hacerlo parecer màs pequeño de ño que fue.

" ... it exceeds 10,000 roetgens an hour, and workers can only risk shifts no longer then 15 minutes at a time ... "

At 10,000 roetgens per hour, workers would be fried in a matter of minutes or less. Nobody would even be standing after 15 minutes of exposure time.

500 roetgens per hour is enough to kill a human. Even 100 roetgens per hour over several hours will mostlikely bring about death. Once you start getting into the thousands of roetgens per hour, people start to fry pretty much right away.

Just as it sounds, it encasulates the entire site in an effort to contain the radiation and spreading contamination. I am not sure if it is the whole site or just the portions around Reactor 3 & 4, and I don't know what material it is made out of, but I am sure it is made out of some kind of material with decent shielding capability, maybe lead or concrete, something like that.

This photo must have been taken during the construction of the sarcophagus. Look at the beams traversing the hole. And note that there is no fire or smoke.

I got the April 2006 issue of National Geographic, its got an interesting section on Chernobyl, the sarchophagus has many cracks in it, where water was leaking into it over the years, in 1990 lots of Neutrons were detected in some of the rooms below reactor 4, 3 days later, a technician from the old city of Chernobyl was sent to pour neutron quenching gadolinium nitrate over the toxic sludge, and the possible reaction subsided. In the hottest areas inside, it exceeds 10,000 roetgens an hour, and workers can only risk shifts no longer then 15 minutes at a time, repairing the sarchophagus. Over the last 2 years, 95% of the holes have been patched, but a new permanent enclosure is being built away from the reactor, and then will be slid into place on huge rails, its so high inside, the statue of liberty would just barely touch the roof. Yes, it literally is hell, if anyone ever asked me where hell is on earth, I say "Under reactor 4 of the old Chernobyl Station", that's why I dont like nuclear energy at all, it has its advantages of course, but the potential for corruption, or something bad to happen again, is very high.

As a matter of fact, alot of op close proximity pictures taken were indeed destroyed, they turned out totally black, the only way to photgraph or film from close distance was to enclose the casing of the camera's into lead, and therefore blocking some of the radiation, it isn't mentioned how long this would be effective. The picture shown above may be taken from close by, but it can also be a distance shot from a helicopter flown high, impossible to tell, fact was that they knew the radiation was way off the charts, since the first night all the firemen that extingguished the flames basically all died.
But to be back on topic, to be that close to the actual reactor core probably nothing could have survived, and that would include a camera's film protected by lead.

'The China Syndrome' actually came out a few days before the Three Miles Island incident. Whilst very serious, the TMI accident was not nearly as serious as the one in Chernobyl. So go figure.

radiation reduces h(fe) factor in semiconductor transistors, so it could affect precise electronics.
but this is probably old mostly mehanical camera...
