    I had already read about one instance they showed when a helicopter full of scientists and officials flew close to the site as it was still burning the next day. They thought it was a fire when actually the reactor core was open. It looked like flames and one scientist realized the glow was actually a form of nuclear fission happening...in the air above the plant.

    or more simply - if a measurement of 100 rads can make a person sick over time, the level was at about 100000000 rads


    It's the denial that was the really scary thing...
    Sounds crazy..!

    Check it out man. They kind of show things real time and it's a horror movie.

    I've seen three parts and think there's only five parts total. An hour each.

    Season 3's coming next year. There's already a trailer for it. Aaron Paul's been cast in it.

    Some were disappointed by the writing in Game of Thrones.

    If you want to melt your brain and see some really impressive/puzzling writing, this is your show.

    Season two blew me away...only after having watched season one because...

    Just watched Episode 1-2 this week, going to finish it up this weekend. It's incredible, extremely tense, well acted, my only complaint is that there are only three episodes! I could watch hours and hours of this. I read a little about how accurate the show was, and historians are mostly praising it. There are some dramatizations like how fast people showed signs of radiation poisoning, and how dangerous the risk of the steam explosion from the full tanks was, but mostly it sounds like the show's producers did a great job staying true to history.

    I knew the Soviets were in denial and slow to evacuate nearby citizens, but my wife and I were almost yelling at the TV, the actions of the Party members were so frustrating and political

    I'm going to have to order a book or two on the subject now, I just want to know more.

    I was just having a conversation about this series at the facility I'm staying in Germany. We have a lot of overseas people coming through.

    I was told that the in German forests the wild boar are so radioactive (even now) that if you shoot one you have to hand it over to the authorities.

    A Ukranian doctor that stayed here a while back was one of the first respondents at Chernobyl - he died of cancer while still quite young.

    Recently, one of my Japanese colleagues in the same organisation died a couple months ago of cancer of the jaw. He was a total clean living guy and a Meditator. I was just told he lived 'just over the hill' from Fukushima reactor.

    You just don't know...
