INSIDE THE CHERNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE: The World's Worst Nuclear Disaster

Good morning guys, I have an interesting video for you today, it is around 7:00 in the morning and I am about to embark on a journey that will take me to make the

exclusion

site noble and I really want to do it. get an in depth look at what exactly happened all those years ago, it's the

worst

nuclear

disaster

that has ever happened and I thought it would be interesting to know more about it as it's obviously part of my own family history and Solo in a global sense, I wanted to learn more about it. The fall now clearly threatens.

We just arrived at the checkpoint right now. When you take these tours, you must bring your passport and give them all the information about a week beforehand. time, so if you are interested in coming here I recommend booking it as soon as possible, although these tours are definitely considered safe and you actually get less radiation than on a long haul flight, they recommend that you wear clothing that covers it. from head to toe, as well as closed-toe shoes and when you're in certain areas you can't leave your bags or touch anything, obviously, so those are some things to keep in mind if you're interested in coming to one of these tubers that operate inside from the area five-story building on the left side example all the dormitories for the workers who stay here I will pass through the central part of the city of Chernobyl to the left side beautiful building this is the museum so we are officially At this moment in the city of Chernobyl and right behind me is actually the City Hall where tests were carried out on the engineers who were working the night of the explosion.

At first they thought that it was the engineers' fault that the explosion had occurred and that is why they were sentenced to ten years in prison at that time, in reality they had discovered that there was a defect in the design and it was not actually their fault, so They were liberated, but ten years had passed and now this largest monument in front of me is actually a map of the Ukrainian part of the

exclusion

zone

. There is this bottom part that is the 38 kilometer radius and all the little dots are the different ones. cities that were affected and the slightly elevated element is the ten kilometer exclusion

zone

it is not dangerous this rate is totally fine stay here to take some pictures, but living here once again is totally impossible.

The villain's image of 0.28 0.30 total normal rate from which he traveled to the territory of the Queen of Ukraine trains so that the facilities for reactor number five are built. The facilities for reactor number six were built. Also just the basement is about ten percent so it's fighting behind the tree so here we are in the Chernobyl power plant area and here you'll be able to see reactor number four and now it's covered by the arch of 1.2 billion dollars. white pipes and the black ones behind the fighters these are reactors number one and two and a huge arch you say confinement inside reactor number four and near the new secure confinement this facility with a rusty roof and yellow and white ventilation pipe this is the facility no one did it first, so now we're on the outskirts of still, which is the closest small town to the reactor.

It was the first town evacuated after the explosion and still has fairly high levels of radiation. You can see the main street in the pedestrian part. see the cross, so this cross was placed here after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it's actually quite surreal to be here right now, especially having seen this documentary on the way here about what had happened and how many Lives were affected by this accident and how many people literally gave their lives so that it wouldn't be a worse

disaster

than it already was when they were doing the initial cleanup because obviously there was some kind of panic situation?

Many of the solutions they used were quite temporary. To say the least, many people went into this knowing that they were sacrificing their health or lives in the hopes that it wouldn't be worse for everyone else. Here we are arriving at the supermarket that I joined, I'm not exactly sure. What I'm going to find was maybe bathrooms or something pretty creepy in there Jesus, oh my God, so in some ways I regret going out alone. It's actually pretty creepy here, there's debris everywhere and on the ground, the workers cleaning this place. Put the rubber because from the rubber surface it is much easier to clean the inner area because after cleaning the territory they use this building to rest after the work shift.

Wow, so we're inside an old Soviet bloc building right now. I'm on the balcony and they actually built these buildings, all very similar because they didn't want people to feel like you know taller than everyone else, so all the apartments were made basically the same and it actually reminds me a lot of my apartment here in Ukraine and my family and I think this was the living room guys so it's the day after the tour and I thought I'd sit down and chat with you now instead of closing my video from last night because we got there pretty late and there was a lot to take in before to go on the tour.

I admit that I didn't know that much history of what had happened in Chernobyl and what happened after the disaster and I learned so much. yesterday and stepping foot into the exclusion zone and seeing all these abandoned places where people you know had to abandon their entire lives was obviously just devastating and unimaginable on so many levels, so I'm not even sure at this point how to really express it. . what I felt walking into the area and obviously I can't possibly know what it was like to go through something like that, but I just wanted to say first of all how grateful I am to all the people involved from the moment of the disaster who you know did everything they could. to shut down the system to make it as safe as possible for everyone else so there wouldn't be a second disaster, all the people who basically sacrificed their lives to make that happen and then me too I would just like to say how amazed I am by the people that they've created this second arc sarcophagus that's actually supposed to dismantle reactor number four so that this cycle doesn't keep happening where they have to build something on top of the reactor over and over again. and also to anyone who has seen this video and is interested in going to Chernobyl, I would greatly appreciate it if you would do so.

I found it absolutely fascinating and, as with all things historical, I think it really comes to life when you go to these places and know that you are where it all happened. It feels much more real than reading a book or even watching a movie about it, so if you get the chance, I would highly recommend it. I was very impressed with the travel company I went with. called only East travel. I initially read about them through my Lonely Planet guide and thought they did a great job of not only explaining everything and showing us around, but I also felt very safe on the tour and saw that they took a lot of precautions to keep us safe but at the same time time show us that you know all these different types of areas because I heard from other people that certain tours don't allow you to enter the buildings and I personally found that to be one of the most fascinating things and our tumor group was allowed to do that so I'll put some links below if you're interested in going with them.

I would highly recommend it and I think they really charged a very fair price. I think it was about a hundred Canadian dollars for the whole day like 12 13 hours and lunch was included too. I saw that some other tour companies were charging less than what they were, but I think those are the companies that you probably couldn't get inside the buildings with and that I saw some bad reviews for, so I would personally recommend traveling East alone Instead, even if you have to pay an extra like ten dollars, I think it's worth it when your safety and experience are on the table and yeah.

I hope you enjoyed this video and I hope it at least conveyed my own experience of what it was like to visit Chernobyl and perhaps sparked some interest in learning about these historical events so that hopefully we never have to repeat them again. something like that never again, but other than that, I hope you're having an amazing day, stay beautiful and I'll see you soon, bye guys.
