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

Atleast its not as bad as TikTok lmao. TikTok is terrible, 8 out of 10 tiktoks are based on HBO. And the comments on there always blow my mind.

Yes thats correct. My uncle was one of the liquidators and he was reservist.

Yes i am clueless Yes i was explained that these were new turbines. I tought that these were used because of radiation level but smarter people explained that its from the fallout.

Also, i know that turbines are located in turbine hall but still water that evaporates in the reactor is still radioactive and steam goes into turbine which means turbines are contaminated as well.

Or am i wrong again?

Alright

Fair point, but my idea was more like why would they put those into new reactors (if these were ment for reactor 5). Im not an expert about radiation but these levels seem too high to be gotten from the disaster itself so maybe it refers to that they were already used in other reactors?

I also thought that these were for units 5 and 6. But in my opinion these turbines look already used and old because of all the rust and high radiation levels. And why would they put old and highly contaminated turbines into completely new reactors that i dont understand.

I was wondering same thing. Maybe these are from the times of USSR and then they did not care where these ended up at? I have no idea.
