Your intro on this prompted me to subscribe. I have a number of teachers in my family and the takeaway was always : its ok if you don't know something, as long as educate yourself about it. Ask questions and look for the answers. Curiosity is a very value personality trait. ❤❤
So intense. If you ever have the chance to visit Hiroshima A-dome, you learn a lot about the effects of nuclear radiation & how it continued to devastate people who weren't even born yet. Those closest to the bomb center were literally like vaporized into nothing, only shadows burned into the concrete. Also worth looking into is the mentioned Fukushima meltdown brought on by the 2011 earthquake & tsunami. We just had the most recent memorial on March 11th here in Japan. You can definitely visit Fukushima today.
High-dose radiation effects literally everything in some manner. It can break the chemical bonds in you and in the materials used in machines/technology. Chernobyl will be radioactive for at least 3000 years. Fusion is what the sun does. We just made mini versions. We could be using the actual sun, already doing fusion safely in space, to generate power. Oh and remember Russia just tried to occupy and take over Chernobyl. They retreated. And it wasn’t because of Ukrainian forces.
I love that you let your curiosity lead you! It’s really fascinating – the fact that it won’t be human habitable for 20K years is astounding. It’s unfortunate that hubris got in the way & that evacuations weren’t immediate – more lives could’ve been saved.
When I was at school, we used to watch movies, have discussions, etc every year on Chornobyl tragedy anniversary bc it is important to remember and be aware to avoid making the same mistake. I recommend the HBO tv show.
I respect that you're so open to educating yourself.
I live in Czechia (central Europe; at that time we were basically part of the soviet union – technically we were allies, in practice, we had a puppet government installed by them). I wasn't born yet when this happened, but my parents talked about how no one had any idea what happened. There were suddenly mushrooms everywhere and people were picking them and eating them (which is a normal activity for families here even nowadays). And it was a beautiful day after the explosion, so people were outside in the sun. My mum's brother was sunbathing half the day. He would later die of leukemia, which was strongly suspected to be caused by radiation. Mind you, Czechia is nowhere close to the disaster sight. We don't even share a boarder with Ukraine.
The news started to trickle in through illegal western radio stations first and it spread among the population before the official sources even admited that anything was wrong. At that point it was too late anyway.
There are really no exact numbers of how many people died because of this, since a lot of the deaths happened even years later and you technically can't prove that someone got cancer and died because of Chernobyl.
Btw, it's kinda crazy. I'm on your channel for BTS, so I didn't expect you'll react to something that hits this close to home.
I’d recommend watching the HBO series Chernobyl .. it’s so well made. not a docuseries tho. I was sceptical about watching it first but after watching was not disappointed, made factually correct.. 😅
Ooooo you should research The Manhattan Project /WW2. It was WILD. I love that you take the time to explore some of the world's history. Education is so important. 💜 Leader Loui for the Win! 🎉
I'm in Wales 🏴 its crazy how u guys only seem to be taught American history in schools 😮 kids here all know about Chernobyl ! there are charities that provide food and medical help for the animals who live there now,there are dogs who love the people who help them ❤ It's fab that u want to keep learning new things…I came here as a Ren fan but I stayed coz ur enthusiasm is hilarious 😂 I wish more YouTubers had Ur good energy…keep going sweetie,u are awesome ♥️💪🌠✌️
If you're going to go down a nuclear/atomic learning binge: learning about atomic bombs is a wild ride, as well as how they were developed and tested historically
Am I living a fever dream right now? A YouTube channel featuring two of my passions in life: j-hope and nuclear energy. Wild. Thank you for taking the time to listen to the story of Chernobyl. As others have recommended, you might be interested in the HBO mini-series Chernobyl. It’s actually quite good and, although not completely immune to the dramatics of TV hyperbole, is one of the better stories of what happened at Chernobyl while being entertaining. Thankfully our reactors in the US have an inherently different design than the RBMK reactors like were at Chernobyl and such we can’t have what happened there happen here (episode 5 of the mini-series touches on this in a pretty good way). I’m always for more people learning about nuclear energy.
I love so much that you got triggered to want to learn things important to humanity and not just US concern. Because we in Europe see how people in America don't know and don't want to learn anything that they feel doesn't concern them. This is a step closer to open your third eye. Bravo. 🙂
I just commented on your Run BTS reaction about the kinda stuff I would watch but tbh, I was watching this whole reaction yesterday and I enjoyed learning some new things from this with you! Quite educational yet interesting.
Why u wanna go to north k😢
allot of insane things goes on around the world and we dont even know

There was a series based on the events of that day, and the horrible days that followed. Recommend watching it.

HBO made a series called Chernobyl. You should check it out. It was incredibly well done. Shit was crazy.

This is awesome thanks for sharing this historical event. Best way to learn is together

Wait do kids in US not learn about this event in School through history class?? 🫣

Nuclear energy, even with the accidents it had, is still safer and cleaner than other options. The main issue is corruption
Okay. That was really educating and I really liked it. I found you out of your reactions for BTS but I really like learning new thiings💜💜💜💜

I’m enjoying learning by watching these videos through your channel! Happy I subscribed. 👍

I was just watching a video on the Fukushima nuclear disaster due to the tsunami in 2011.
