- Is that in response to my post, raf? If so - and I admit I'm no nucular syentist, but I thin kyou need at least a couple of orders of magnitude greater activityNairn
- ..than even the darkest, baddest bit of the scale there (which seems to top out at 1000)Nairn
- A since thanks to the Pyrenees!!OBBTKN
- "A sincere..."OBBTKN
- No Nairn, this thread just lacked a "too close to home" infographic treatment.raf
- Today they say here while radiation in the air increased 550K-fold, the dangerous ones: iodine, cesium + some other radioisotopes' gamma only increased x3.raf

Compelling viewing but every now and again, I'm jolted by the thick British accents. The coal miner confronted in Ep2 sounded like Jimmy from the local tavern in Glasgow.

LiquidatorWe had good jokes. Here's one: an American robot is on the roof for five minutes, and then it breaks down. The Japanese robot is on the roof for five minutes, and then breaks down.
The Russian robot is up there two hours! Then a command comes in over the loudspeaker: "Private Ivanov! In two hours, you're welcome to come down and have a cigarette break."

- karla is a racistPonyBoy
- She wanted a 'Hamilton Chernobyl'. Wich doesn't make any sense at all. Ah well...tank02
- Also, there were no elephantsGnash
- I heard the next movie about the moon will have Will Smith as black Neil Armstrong.mg33
- love it as long as they do a bioepic on Michael Jordan starring Margaret Cho_niko
- I'd like see a Michael Jackson movie where he starts off as a ginger girl but through the movie he transitions into the Rock.PhanLo
- *Russian accent*
In Russia there are no snowflakes.sarahfailin - lol @mg33 & PhanLomaquito

- Is she aware its a real story?Bennn
- Seems fair... can't wait to see a white actor play Robert Mugabe in a feature length biopic...shapesalad
- She has a point... I think we need more black Nazis in WWII films in future films. My gut says Denzel would find the role of Hitler quite challenging.PonyBoy
- Taika Waititi is playing Hitler in an upcoming movie, though it's only an imaginary friend version of him.PhanLo
- ya random people on internet are funny.pango

Worth noting Fukushima is still ongoing:
https://phys.org/news/2019-03-fu…- Was thinking the same. But I guess ppl will notice Fukushima again when they drop a TV series about itgrafician

Re: Twitter shitstorm :-D
Igor Anatolyevich Khiryak - a resident of Cherepovets who took part in the evacuation of civilians from the areas affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown in 1986.
- adds nothing to the story, but his story could be something interesting on its own.tank02
- There were quite a few African Americans who moved to the Soviet Union, seeking escape from racism, I think it was ok for a while before they got Gulag'ed...PhanLo
- ...as the the authorities thought he was a spy.PhanLo
- ...'they were spies' sorry.PhanLo
- PhanLo0
Can't believe one of them eventually went back to working in a power plant, they should have been shot.

I find it quite distressing that everyone is lauding this show, especially its 'accuracy' - when Emily Mortimer's character was a complete invention. there's a scary trend in American entertainment to want to "learn history" through fictitious stories, actualized for screen drama... we wonder why we have a reality TV show president, well. It makes for great TV.
- Emily Watson, excuse mecolin_s
- it's a single person, ffs ... it's impossible to have a ton of character development if you're going for 100% real people and interactions onlymonospaced
- it's lauded because it's a good show, and happens to be incredibly accurate to history big picturemonospaced
- incredibly accurate********
- strange example to get distressed about. It's really good and seems to be well researched and intelligently made.Fax_Benson
- also seems lots of people have actually been intrigued enough to find out the facts, and test how authentic the show really is.Fax_Benson
- Chances are that this fictitious character had experiences that were very likely to have had occurred.monospaced
- lol - Mortimer
To Fax's point, it spurred me to learn as much as I could outside of the show.Vandal7 - DIdn't they explain that her character was an amalgamation of lots of people. There were over 100 dedicated boffins and they can't show them all,Morning_star
- yes, her character was meant to represent the group of scientists/experts that were involved in dealing with the crisis, what's wrong with that?ernexbcn
- People like historic re-creation. Peaky Blinders, Westworld, etc. It’s not about “learning history”, but enjoying efforts to re-create nicer moments thanmaquito
- ...the actual shitty present we live in.maquito
- And besides, the art and cinematography are splendid. Really nice to watch. I enjoyed every single second of it.maquito

Fell asleep watching the last episode on the couch last night, but woke up in the flashback part of the story showing the explosion. Scared the living hell out of me - subwoofer was rumbling and as I had been asleep it was pretty intense to wake up to that.

Grim viewing. Crazy they filmed so much.
I wondered if the make up was a bit overkill, but it seems it wasn't.- Wow. Vom.maquito

What I find truly distressing is people yearning for communism and pissed because a show telling just one of the many failures that system caused. This comment isn't about anybody in this thread, just some personal observations from other social networks.
- Nobody wants Communism now do they?PhanLo
- socialism is bad because it has failed? capitalism is failing. bad!imbecile
- derpBusterBoy
- true nuclear fallout has never been triedGnash
- except for Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Bikini Islands, Mururoa,...uan
- but those were from 'capitalism' so probably they don't count ;-Puan
- @PhanLo oh trust me, there are kids longing for communism, I haven't mentioned the word socialism btwernexbcn
- people who think communism and socialism are the same thing probably shouldn't comment about either.Gnash
- i believe i meant to write communism but was subliminally influenced by the social networks at the end leading to the error, either way it was a smartass remarkimbecile
