Watching this Ben Fogle programme on channel 5. Its super weird see ppl living in and trespassing in the exclusion zone, little concern about the radiation, but still being worried about covid . Very interesting programme though!

It was very good. Nerve racking in places but very good. No mention of any elephants foot

If the area is still so contaminated, why is wildlife surviving and reproducing without deformities etc ?

The HBO miniseries ‘Chernobyl’ was absolutely fantastic, one of the best things I’ve ever seen on TV.

100% agree. This was possibly the best series for the last 5 years

Wasn't the elephants foot partially destroyed when they shot it to take samples? If I'm remembering correctly from an old horizon or similar

The elephant’s foot is all of the moltern matter that came from within the core. It oozed out of the bottom of the core, and finally settled a couple of levels below. It solidified into what looks like an elephant’s foot, hence the name.

Anyway, one of the researchers, shortly after the event stumbled upon it. It was so radioactive that in the few seconds that it took the guy to look at it, get his camera out of his pocket and take a picture, he had taken on enough radiation to kill him days after. The photograph taken is all distorted and weird looking, purely because the amount of radiation it was emitting even affected the negative roll in the camera.

Even today, it is emitting enough radiation that you can only be near it for a few minutes before you’re reaching the limit of safe exposure. I think that a lethal dose is about an hour, or something like that.

It even has its own chemical named after it: Corium. As it can only be formed in the core of a nuclear reaction.

Oh, and while the outer shell has crusted, the inside is still incredibly hot, and is still burning through what it is touching. It is scarily close to burning through to the water table, and if it actually comes into contact with the water table it will cause thermo explosion that will wipe out the entire area.

Mental.
