Chernobyl disaster: Back into the old sarcophagus
Chernobyl, Ukraine: This short historic clip (approx. 1990s) was recorded and released by Sergey Koshelev, and it takes us back into the former "sarcophagus" that has since been replace with the New Safe Confinement.
This time we visit a few of the most contaminated and dangerous areas where you find huge amounts of Fuel Containing Masses (FCM), i.e. mostly molten reactor fuel, molten into other stuff. Also there's literally tons of broken graphite moderators tossed around, which also had been part of the reactor core and are accordingly highly radioactive due to neutron activation. Also, please note how many gaps and slots there are visible in the old sarcophagus from several points of views, where the sun literally floods in.
No average person would ever have entered these rooms even if forced to, but Sergey Koshelev, a former worker at the Chernobyl NPP, and a few others did in their lifetime despite the obvious deadly risks, so that we still have this historic footage of the first INES 7 reactor accident in the history of mankind.
Not too much ear-killing Geigercounters in this one, but lots of direct radioactive impact on the camera-chips (radioactive static) again, which tells a little about the local radiation levels.
