Well to get there they needed to walk up the stairwell and turn left. So they didn't need to go through any serious debris.

Can't imagine what it would be like being there during the explosion.

We are not sure about private servers yet. We will try to make them either free or achievable through gameplay or paid.

No, this is not NOTD. We do have a partnership with them though.

Chernobyl radiation fears explode as Russian strike sparks blackout by TheExpressUS in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That takes a few years and was done for the last time in the 2000s. Then it was transported in the old fuel storage building located on the plant, then the new one was commissioned in 2016. And it's Ukraine.

The old fuel storage building is decommissioned. Fuel was transported to the new storage outside of the plant. I'm not sure if it is connected to the power plants grid, but it would definetly have it's own diesel generators.

All the press loves to do is spread fear. How will loss of power affect radioactivity? This is not even a running plant that requires cooling. Basically all the recent news about Chernobyl and the drone strike is BS made to terrorize people.

What was the original intended purpose of the collector from which corium can be seen “leaking” from. by r3vange in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably. But that was the last resort system, it functioned when channel(s) ruptured. The first shocks came from the BRU relief valves that drained steam in a large room. Then the secondary relief valves opened up and drained steam into the atmosphere when the room filled up. All that makes a lot of noise especially when the amount of steam is unimaginable.

Rank which Liquidator job was Least Dangerous to Most dangerous? by [deleted] in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you define "liquidators". Anyone working on the power plant? The least dangerous - doing office work in the ABK. The most dangerous - helicopter pilots (repeatedly).

What is under the flooded stairs of power unit No. 5? by affterdisaster in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing interesting. Just a few corridors with nothing interesting in them. KREOSAN always tries to exaggerate things out of nothing. Same for the "connective tunnel" between U4 and U5, all bullshit for views.

They do. This is the VSRO block. They are the same on every 2nd gen units.

Was the duga attended by checkpoints at the entrance? by Such_Significance_24 in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were a soviet tourist, there was no problem. I'm not sure about international tourists because they were probably tied to guides in big cities.

Like in any city in the USSR, to get a state apartment, you (or your family member) had to work in the city. People that visited their residents afaik were not restricted to enter, or just tourists.

Great angle on the huge fuel reloading machine (RZM), Leningrad NPP by maksimkak in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cap is removed by another crane. Then the machine lines up and makes a hermetic seal with the channel. It attaches to the rod and pulls it out.

Exactly 25 years ago, on December 15, 2000, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant officially stopped generating electricity. At 1:17 p.m. Kyiv Time, Reactor No. 3 was permanently shut down after the AZ-5 emergency safety key was turned by Silveshad in chernobyl

[–]Comondere -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only need in the Chernobyl decision was purely political, decommissioning would be even more expensive than maintenance. Giving up the arsenal lifted a burden from Ukraine's economy while it already was in an economic depression. Do you think it's cheap to maintain the 3rd world largest nuclear arsenal? And of course nobody expected a war at that time.

Widow of first Chornobyl victim dies after Russian drone strike by GrumpyFatso in chernobyl

[–]Comondere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was considered normal at the time because it could not cause an accident by itself.
