Chernobyl

Has anyone else been watching this?
I'm finding it very hard to watch but it's very powerful and moving. It's like real life horror and it brings home the horrific circumstances these people faced when the disaster happened and also the impact felt afterwards.
I'm sure there are many inaccuracies but it is a dramatisation and you have to allow for some poetic licence.

so it will be on terrestrial for us poor folk
I lived thro it - and have a clear if inaccurate memory
starting from day 1 ( in the Norf ) when Windscale closed down automatically and they couldnt work out why ( all nuclear stuff in UK accounted for)
Armand Hammer ( v v rich American paid for the personnel to have bone marrow transplants - it didnt work, they all died from delayed radiation sickness ...). In the clear up - some bodies were so radioactive they couldnt be handled - 2500 rads for a head alone, and this caused grief for the survivors.....
and there was a lot of - oh you shouldnt have done that...
well we did and that is why we in the poo.....

Fukushima was built in a flood zone - and then when the flood shorted out all the leccy, and it kinda exploded, people who were paid to know better said:
o, that wasnt meant to happen!
and it turned out they had never modelled what a flood would do.
[ Happened in the York flooding when the water pumps to keep the floods out were physically below the water table so the water rose and shorted out the pumps ....and the sluice shorted out 'open']
and no there is no international control
they are all national - UK is UKAEA innit?

There’s an old woman lived in the forest relatively close by: she was interviewed in the recent BBC documentary.
The Sky production is scrupulously accurate according to existing records.
There was a lot of misinformation and inaccuracy flying around at the time some of which became accepted fact.

tiggerblue10. I do know a bit about othre nuclear power plants around the world. Ive studied the accidents more than the industry as a whole. They are no less safe than other power plants and are inspected by the nuclear governing body for each country rather than a global one. However, to put your mind at ease, it is good to know that the UKs worst disaster was the fire at Windscale in 1957 was our worst disaster which although we had the release of uranium into the atmosphere, there was no lasting damage and it was ranked as a 5 out of 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale. There have only been two 7 out of 7 disasters which were Chernobyl and Fukushima and one 6 out of 7 which was an accident at Kyshtym which is also in the Soviet Union in 1957.
Although there are small accidents that happen at the plants, there are usually no lasting effects.
