Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The Unit 4 control room at Chernobyl, where fateful decisions and terrible sacrifices were made on April 26, 1986, is not a particularly radioactive place today. (I comment at one point that "this place is too sanitized for my taste.") External dose rates tend to range between 2 and 5 millirem per hour (20-50 microSievert/h), and there is a bit of loose alpha/beta contamination. In this video from September 2015, my group heads to the south side of the room, behind the control panel, and locates a hot spot near the axis 51 marker (western end of the room) where the deaerator building abuts the turbine building. We measure a dose rate of around 35-40 mR/hr there. Likely cause is mobile contamination infiltrating the building from above along this damaged structural boundary. |
