Hmm. impossible to play now.
Were the fire-fighters able to do anything or did they..
Actually first of all the fire-fighters did their job very well.
Two minutes after the explosion they were at the reactor at unit 4 and started to localize the fire around,
And they really rescued the world.
Sure all this crew now dead.
Nobody survived.
These people were real heroes.
Maybe they didn’t understand what they did.
They just did their job, nothing more.
But in any case they are real heroes.
Russian: Good day.
Russian: Good day, where is he from?
Russian: Australia.
Russian: Why is he filming?
What are we close to that's producing that?
Right now we are very close to the industrial site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
To the right side of the rode you can see the not finished cooling tower for reactor units 5 and 6.
Ah, so is was going to be a much larger...
There were constructed.
In 1986 reactor 5 was completed 90%.
But after the explosion on reactor 4,
it was decided to stop construction and never continue.
Because international experts group decided such system of the reactors,
RBMK type of reactor, is not safe.
In 500 meters red building many tower cranes around.
It is not finished rectors number 5 and 6.
It's a really sad story, Chernobyl.
If you translate "Chernobyl" into English it's a "Black story".
Maybe the black story continues.
Yeah.
Nuclear power plant was built there, accident here.
Right now all new enterprises have a lot of problems.
Maybe it's a damn to us.
Its 100, average it's 100.
Now several steps.
Now we put our dosimeters here.
Just several centimetres of soil.
No more, was taken off from here.
And you can see what the difference is here.
So that's just a few centimetres underground?
Yes, you can understand what all these centimetres of soil are for protection from the radiation.
Just several centimetres.
A few centimetres and..
And the level of radiation is 4 times higher.
This area was cleaned up just to look tidy.
It's preparedness for a visit of the President of the Ukraine.
I don’t know what the sense is to do that.
Just to increase it.
It's as if the exclusion zone…
It must be safe and not to look tidy I think first of all.
Monument replaced from the Pripyat town.
The black one there.
It was in the centre of the Pripyat town.
In 1996 on the anniversary of the accident it was replaced here as a memory of the abandoned town.
As former inhabitants of Pripyat town say.
"Right now the symbol of the town, now in front of the *** of the town"
For example we measure it is 400 Micro.
If you measure in front of the western wall.
Where the metal frames are,
It will be 40,000 Micro.
[Geiger counters clicking]
Is that the Russian word for Pripyat?
[Geiger counters clicking]
And that’s just from these young trees pulling it up from the ground?
Yes, yes. The root systems in the accumulation of the radioactive waste.
That’s why you can see the level of radiation is quite high there.
Level of radiation on the road is 1000 micro roentgens per hours.
If you go to the depths is will be 4000.
[Geiger counters clicking]
[High radiation alarm]
oh, that’s the point where my little machine says no more.
What’s soaking all that up?
Where is all that...
Because the moss here it is accumulating all these hot particles.
And no exit of the radioactivity through the soil.
Because there is asphalt underneath.
As you can see it's too high.
One of the tasks of our ministry is to warn the population of the Ukraine of the danger.
Teaching these people is very complicated.
But we must warn them that is could be dangerous.
Here’s the old concert hall.
Where are we exactly?
This point was medical sanatoria point 126.
But actually, it was the hospital and the clinic for the people that worked in this place.
Are we in the maternity ward? Is that were we are?
Yeah, yeah.
What time of the day dis it happen?
It was Saturday night.
Friday night into Saturday.
It was really early in the morning?
It was deep night and that’s why people slept quite.
It's very rare that people say they heard the explosion.
I think it's a book of arts.
I see.
For first to third grades.
So it is.
How to draw.
Yes. So it is.
Biology of course.
I think yes.
Biology for ninth form.
Look at me I’m smoking in school again.
Yes it's so strange.
So this is the menu from...
Yes from those times.
Saturday the time of the accident.
In the morning the children when to school like regular.
And they had culet of beef and porridge.
In those time we had a lot of dwarfs as heroes of the fairly tails.
But we were not acquainted with Disney.
That is a blatant rip off.
Walt Disney, if he knew about that.
You'd have his lawyers down here.
