The "Elephant's Foot" of Chernobyl, 1996

#TMYK: The “Elephant’s Foot” is a solid mass made of melted nuclear fuel mixed with lots and lots of concrete, sand, and core sealing material that the fuel had melted through. It is located in a basement area under the original location of the core. In 1986 the radiation level on the ”Elephants Foot” was measured at 10,000 roentgens per hour, anyone who approached would have received a fatal dose in under a minute. After just 30 seconds of exposure, dizziness and fatigue will find you a week later. Two minutes of exposure and your cells will soon begin to hemorrhage; four minutes: vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. 300 seconds and you have two days to live.

Castro didn't wear two rolex to show his importance, but because good watches were hard to find at that time (1/2).

They actually rigged up a camera with some wheels and took the picture from around a corner. Because, you know. Death and such.

Around a corner, is that because the camera vehicle itself would become radioactive if it got too close?

Actually, it probably did, the alpha radiation would have been stopped by the concrete wall.

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

A quick brief: alpha radiation is radiation that is incapable of breaching most objects that also happens to be the most deadly form of it.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Fatal dose in 60 seconds. 300 seconds just sped things up to the point you'd be dead in 48 hours.
