Unless we're gone due to asteroid impact that destroys the entire planet or something. But if no one is left to see it, will it indeed be beautiful, eye of the beholder and all that?

It’s a perpetually glowing example of the benefits of nuclear reactions gone wild.

My favorite episode of that monster fish show is where the dude goes and catches a radioactive catfish pretty damn close to the reactor.


That is Jeremy Wade and he is a bad motherfricker. True hero.


Say his name. You know it.

The Original Pot Leaf flag? yeah that was Regional Flag of that area dating way back. Napoleon tried to conquer the region for the hemp used in shipping.


You think Napoleon invaded Russia for pot?

That is full of radiation and will be full of it for thousands of years.


Some areas are normal and some are extreme hotspots. You're supposed to stay away from moss if you visit.

I know a couple of guys that were raised in the Ukraine, aboot 100 miles from there.


One of my coworkers is from Belarus. She was a teenager when it happened and remembers it all very well. Her uncle was one of the investigators of the event.

He died of cancer. She said a lot of her family died of cancer.

Drew Scanlon, Google his videos on chernobyl. The new cover only last 100 years, so we'll have an even bigger problem on our hands then. Removing the structure, disposal of the radioactive materials...ect


I'm pretty sure the NSC structure has overhead cranes built into it to allow for a long term dismantling plan for the old rector and sarcophagus.

Yes the interior will be radioactive for a long time but it's part of a long term plan for safe containment.

Radiation also effects chromosomes increasing the chances of genetic mutations that can then be passed through reproduction. Could see a sub species of 3 legged 2 headed Moose "evolve" or fish with 2 tails and 4 eyes, double hearts, 4 kidneys, 3 breasts.


Here's a pic of the fish....
