Chernobyl

Just finished the first episode; I guess I'll be keeping HBO a bit longer after Game of Thrones ends.

It is fascinating, horrifying and infuriating. And spellbinding.

Yes, but as Stuxnet showed, that doesn't make them impervious.

Holy hell - if that ghostly sort of inhuman zombie thing is what those poor guys really went through - man, a bullet was a far easier way to go.

And some of the REALLY unlucky ones took a month to die.

And I'm sure the miner guy is some kind of amalgam w/ a fair amount of artistic license, but you have to hope there's some truth to that character. I don't suspect we'll see a ton more of him, but I can hope (wait...given the context of that last scene, that didn't come out right)

I flew a cattle inspector from Texas to Florida once a month for 4 years. Center routed us over a nuclear power plant in Arkansas consistently. I never would, but a pilot could easily fly into a nuke plant. It would probably be similar to a fly hitting a windshield though.

Perfect analogy.

If you've ever flown out of Harrisburg, PA you fly directly over the cooling towers of 3 Mile Island on take off sometimes to the point you would be able to see to the bottom if the weren't so dark.

Listened to the chapter 3 podcast today. Very interesting background. They had an opening scene with the director of the nuclear plant in the hospital that got cut. They felt background on the people’s personal motives wasn’t necessary with only a 5 show run.

The real life Director was in a nuclear accident while working on a reactor on a submarine. Supposedly got a lethal dose. He didn’t die. The producer was saying the future director felt that nuclear radiation fears were overblown since. That explains why he was so slow to act and why he sent the engineers to their deaths.

After the accident on the sub, he wore the same clothes home. His kid welcomed him home with a big hug. His kid died of luekiema within a few years. The director says it had nothing to do with the accident because he’s still alive. Just chance his kid got cancer and died shortly after the accident.

Also remember modern reactors have a lot of passive cooling and the design of reactors is different from what is in the West and Japan and the old Soviet era reactors.

Also interesting on the issue of sufficiency of the response, all the work of those naked miners constructing a firewall between the plant and groundwater in case of meltdown was completely unnecessary.

A leviathan effort out of abundance of caution. An irony borne of tragedy.

3rd highest rated podcast in the world on I-Tunes right now. Seems like word of mouth is propelling this show.

I think the most ****ed up part of this is that the symptoms of radiation poisoning actually subside after a couple days, only to hit harder and faster after about another day. It was ****ed up, but they nailed that point home in episode 3.

yeah they explained that in the podcast when talking about the wife's first visit to the hospital. They had some burns but were playing cards, joking around. Survivable. But.....

The radiation poisoning is breaking down their cells at the DNA level. It takes a day or two after exposure. Then the worst pain imaginable happens. Everything just melts because its lost its cellular structure. The arteries and veins are useless so they cant even give them morphine for the pain. They turn black on the outside while their internal organs are melting. They decided not to show that graphic part.

When they got that bad, why didn't they just kill them? To be in that much pain, your organs are melting for crissakes. The producer said they could survive in this state for days.
