Capricorn Posted June 19, 2019 Share Any one watched Chernobyl??Was a good one,really liked it and gives great insight on the whole drama.Yes, many of us have watched and thoroughly enjoyed it as you have. The Russians however are not happy with the portrayal. I look forward to their version of events as apparently, they've indicated they want to produce a show that tells the real truth.

Apparently quite a few scientific and historical inaccuracies, but I'm sure that was not what the Russians were unhappy about. Probably more the political interference, denial etc.?

The show brought back some memories of his recollection of events after things went pop. He used the words shameful.The Russian version is going to be interesting. He recently passed away though.

Capricorn Posted June 19, 2019 Share Shameful in the manner that HBO represented the events?no, we a had discussion about what happened and his involvement a long time ago. The guy told some stories that made you look at him funny, but once you fact check the details, the truth of it all makes you want to worship the guy. He left south africa a few years back, so only heard of his passing via-via. He was a guru in nuclear power generation accident analysis.

Capricorn Posted June 20, 2019 Share Im sorry to ask but seeing as he was there, do you think this had anything to do with the radiation? the consensus is that he is a victim of chernobyl. But getting an official statement to that effect is going to be impossible. Even today,. the russians heavily dispute the number of deaths that can be attributed to Chernobyl, especially those that started expressing effects a long time after the event. In isolation, each person's long term health issues look random, but taken across similar age groups with similar exposure levels, there is an undeniable pattern. Fukushima is going to have the pattern. Radiation effects don't care how you spin the story now. It will eventually tell you the truth. Just count the coffins. The nuclear industry is very much in the some denialist mode wrt effects and extent of catastrophic reactor failure as the carbon fuels industry and consumers were/are about their impact on atmospheric CO2 and methane levels.Look at the silly debate about which accident is more disastrous: chernobyl or fukushima. Pointless hairsplitting of the highest order. Disgraceful. Edited June 20, 2019 by Capricorn Swany05 and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
