1:30 AM

1:30 AM.

See that dude second from the right? That dude is pretty great.

we have a meeting at 1:30 AM

no we don't have the phone number of gerard depardieu

Bhryukhanov IIRC

Of course no one can blame me for this. How can I be responsible? I was sleeping

Because the mods have the

greatest respect for the work of the
jannies, they have asked me to brief you on matters as they stand.

First, the Anon Babble leak is well under control.

Same actor

I know. As a fan of that actor and that game and this show, I was eating pretty good.

You didn't see any basedjaks.

I did--

YOU DIDN'T.

from a kino perspective, hbo nailed it, but those troglodytes have basically retold the soviet propaganda version (medvedev, schcherbak...) dragging people like dyatlov and bryukhanov through the mire.

The overt anti-soviet propaganda really made this show a lot worse, couldn't watch half of those scenes without laughing to myself

So which is it?

anti-soviet propaganda

They really were that incompetent doe

The US almost had their own chernobl, the Three Mile Island reactor meltdown.

but but but but you guise had it happen too!

lol

if you read into soviet nuclear history at all you would be appalled at the immense pollution, death, and incompetency

The 1982 nuclear accident at the Soviet naval base in Andreeva Bay
Lake Karachy and the Mayak facility
90% of prompt criticality deaths occurring in the USSR as a letal symptom of their unsafe nuclear practices
The whole history of the USSR nuclear industry is a shitfest that makes Western nuclear efforts look beyond immaculate

пpивeт, ивaн

I agree, I think most soviets would
But the scene where a Soviet general looks at a statue (or painting, can't remember) of lenin and says "this is what communism is meant to do!" as he's making bad decisions about the meltdown is just such on the nose propaganda it's hilarious

yes commie, propaganda against people I disagree with is ok
no, really

Did it not?

Three Mile Island was an utterly pathetic nothingburger of an incident compared to Chernobyl, a molehill next to a mountain, and anyone who throws it out there to for kneejerk whataboutism's sake is only exposing their ignorance.

iirc it was pure luck that it didn't become a bigger issue.

moron

It did not, and I'll explain why
The type of reactor used at Three Mile Island is what is called a Pressurised Water Reactor. It's like a scaled up version of those use in US nuclear subs. This reactor design was not physically capable of producing a Chernobyl-style RBMK reactor disaster, and this comes down to a few key differences:

positive void coefficient

Creates a feedback loop as water coolant boils off, PWRs have a negative voice coefficient and prevents runaway increases

Control rods

PWR control rods reduce reactivity immediately, the Chernobyl rods initially increased it and this contributed to the explosion

Graphite moderator

In a PWR, if water is lost or boiled off then the chain reaction is shut down because water is both coolant and moderator. In an RBMK, the reactor keeps going because of the graphite moderator

voice coefficient

*VOID coefficient haha fuck

the search function is down

voice coefficient

yooo this nigga got a talking nuclear reactor!

They used the soviet propaganda version regarding the accident. (Medvedev made a comically evil depiction of the operators while the system was glorified as infallible.) however, I don't know to which extent they exaggerated the evilness of the soviet government.
Oleg, go back
relatively accurate, albeit the simple hbo version. what really made the rbmk reactor difficult was its sheer size. because the soviets didn't have the same enrichment facilities and wanted to use their reactors also as breeder reactors for military purposes, the rbmk reactor was physically humongous, which is rather unusual for nuclear reactors. this posed an interesting challenge as the reactivity throughout the reactor was not homogeneous and therefore prone to local "hotspots of reactivity". an "operational reactivity margin" was supposed to make sure that the reactor could never be pushed too far locally, however the computers in use and the understanding of the reactor were lackluster, leading to a scenario where operators could unknowingly create an unstoppable beast.

The Soviet nuclear industry and its consequences have been a disaster for the global nuclear industry's image

I'm from western europe man

then you should be even more embarrassed

HOLY KINO

They were shit though you dumb commie

Dyatlov was in another nuclear incident iirc on a sub, years before. Read about it in Midnight in Chernobyl which is a very good book

I'm just hoping american empire loses relevance and we can finally go under the chinese wing

I want to smoke commie cigs

Communism is a jewish ideology

You ever save a reaction gif when a show is big on Anon Babble but then never use it?
Now is my chance.

fuck i bet they are rough

How else are they are post deal with being fucking Slavic by smoking rough soviet cig, probably has 40x more cancerous chemicals than your average cig.
