disaster Under reactor 4 Chernobyl 8mths after disaster

Upon entering a corridor beneath the damaged No. 4 reactor, they found a black, lava-like substance flowing from the reactor core, resembling a man-made volcano.

Among these hardened masses, one stood out and was nicknamed "Elephant's Foot" due to its resemblance to the foot of a large mammal.

The Elephant's Foot is a solid mass of melted nuclear fuel mixed with concrete, sand, and core sealing material.

At the time of its discovery, the Elephant's Foot was emitting approximately 8,000 to 10,000 roentgens, or 80 to 100 grays, per hour, delivering a lethal dose of radiation (4.5 grays) within just five minutes.
 
Love a bit of corium on toast in the morning :beer:

Elephant's Foot is one up from Moose Knuckle

I wonder what horrible cancer the camera man and this bold ass dude in a painters mask died off

If Google AI is accurate…


The individuals who filmed the Chernobyl reactor during the aftermath of the disaster faced severe health consequences due to radiation exposure. Vladimir Shevchenko, a Soviet filmmaker, died a year after the explosion from acute radiation sickness, according to news.com.au. He filmed the clean-up efforts and the "biobots" wearing makeshift protection. His film, Chernobyl: Chronicle of Difficult Weeks, is a testament to the risks taken during the clean-up. While some individuals, like the three men who navigated the basement, initially faced dire predictions, they actually lived much longer. Two of them were even still working within the industry as of 2015, with one passing away in 2005 from a heart attack

THE ELEPHANTS FOOT!
 
Little chem dog trick here: Lots and Lots of Pickled Ryshyk and high test Wodka (Polish is better) may work to keep the radiation from being absorbed into the human body.
