The most dangerous room in the world

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

In the basement underneath the reactor at Chernobyl, lies a molten mass of uranium that resulted from the reactor failure. It melted through several floors of reinforced concrete and steel and eventually came to rest at the basement. There were concerns it would eat through the final layer and poison the soil but it's heat has dissipated significantly over the years.

It is much radioactively weaker than it once was (ah the magic of half-lifes) so what would once kill you within seconds now requires an hour within its presence.

Still was nothing compared to a prime Frank Dux.

Why not pour a bucket of water on it to cool it down? With a gas mask on.

I stood in front of a microwave for a full minute once. I'm not scared of your radioactive boogeyman

i get that it's relatively new tech, but i find it odd there's really NO permanent nuclear waste storage in the entire world

They're currently working on it in IIRC Germany and the US, but it's all technically temporary storage w/ secondary containment as is

Guys who build the first sacrophagus were crazy

Would rather go to prison

Will watch

If you get the right vaccines you're fine.

yeah people dont think... my friend had a stove fire when i was at his house.. he wanted to call the fire department.. i laughed and said just put water on it.,.... simple fix... unfortunately by the time we had that conversation the fire spread to the walls and the house burned down...

There's always next time though. And he'll know what to do now. You helped!

Ah, there is a worker in the picture. Double exposure.

It doesn't work like that. The heat being generated is from Gamma Radiation.

Do you know the types of radiation and how they affect the human body?

Fear not though! Its lead by the best president yet!

When Hollywood does apocalyptic movies they never deal with no one manning nuclear power plants and the waste. We would all be fooked.

If it's impossible for the camera to be close to it then how is there two men standing right by it. i dont get it.

David Ray Parker (toybox killer) disagrees.

I'd like to poke it with a stick

You mean, if it is not possible to stand close to it. It is only one worker. It is a double exposure. The guy probably died within a few days. First responders like him were very courageous, but they all died within a few days from radiation.
