JustOneCornetto Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Finally finished this and just have to echo what everyone has been saying. It really is an incredible piece of tv and Jared Harris was fantastic as Legasov. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Just watched the first episode and don't think it's living up to the hype. I'm going to stick with it in the hope it's a slow burner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like you've got another seven seasons to wade through. Maybe give it a go at another time. I know I've seen some classic stuff and didn't think much of it on first viewing due to the mood I was in, or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they rope in some other patsies too, like the Aussies selling them some uranium that was past its sell-by date, or Thatcher distracting the plant employees by having copies of Razzle scattered around the plant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 'Brief radiation spike' after rocket engine blast in northern Russia Quote The ministry said radiation levels were normal but the city of Severodvinsk registered a "brief spike" in levels. An area of the White Sea nearby has reportedly been closed for a month. But the deputy head of Archangelsk port, Sergei Kozub, told the BBC the closure was planned before the accident. Radiation levels peaked between 11:50 and 12:30 (08:50-09:30 GMT) before falling and normalising by 14:00, the city administration in Severodvinsk said on its website, without reporting how significant the spike had been. It is unclear what could have caused radiation levels to rise. Local people were reportedly urged to take precautions against radiation. No increase in ambulance call-outs was recorded, the administration added. A woman in Severodvinsk named only Alina told Russian news site lenta.ru: "I work in the hospital where they're bringing the injured. "They advise everyone to close their windows and drink iodine, 44 drops per glass of water." Quote The ministry said radiation levels were normal Is that so comrade? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this age of Twitter, Facebook etc., if another nuclear explosion on a similar scale to Chernobyl was to happen in Russia nowadays, I wonder if the Russian government would even try to suppress information and stop the true scale getting reported. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd easily be able to do so. I'd wager it'd be more likely to be North Korea that something happens in nuclear wise next, and it'll be even less well known than Chernobyl IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right about NK, but I would find it hard to believe any other country could have an explosion on the scale of Chernobyl and there not to be any footage, as well as Twitter posts from people being evacuated etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an explosion on the scale of Chernobyl was allowed to happen as recently as the 1980s there’s no reason it can’t happen again (obviously). We believe we are the most technologically advanced we have ever been and I’m sure the safety procedures nowadays are numerous, but I bet they thought the same in 1986. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
