Hah. I didn't expect the image to be that big.

Edit. Just linked to it instead.

That’s scary accurate.

I’d rather be torn apart and eaten alive by a pack of hyenas than die of ionization radiation poisoning. Not even joking.

I work with iridium and cobalt. Uranium is on an entire high level than the formers.

I feel so bad for the victims.

Definitely seems like one of the worst ways to go. That's what makes the story of Hisashi Ouchi seem like one of the most barbaric things ever. He took 16 to 25 grays equivalent and they artificially kept him alive for as long as possible to experiment on him. He lived for 83 days during which time he essentially disintegrated because his chromosomes had been destroyed and he couldn't make any cells pretty much everywhere on and in his body.

I’ve read multiple articles about him and the event that happened with him.

Absolutely horrible.

The real chernobyl victims didn't look great.

Actually think that's the same person as the image from the show. Vasily Ignatenko.

The Median Lethal Dose of radiation is 5 roentgens.

I’m allowed to absorb 5 roentgens over one scale year.

Ouchi took almost 25 gray in less than 10 minutes.

One gray/sievert is 100 roentgens.

It’s horrifying.

And yet the estimated dose rate for the inner wall of the ITER fusion reactor is 2 kilograys per second.

Can't wait for that to go wrong

How do materials even stand up to that level?

Human arrogance is why Chernobyl happened.

We think we know it all, but we don’t.

I’m in episode two and I’m enthralled.

I’m also absolutely aghast and speechless at the level of unsafe protocols and delusion to what happened after the explosion.

YOU DIDN'T SEE GRAPHITE BECAUSE IT WASN'T THERE!

Looking down into the core is two kilogrey per second!!!!!

A secondary benefit from Chernobyl is all the memes

Is that normal for most people to absorb that much over a years time?

Cos if not, why isn't that number zero for you?

99% of the time, I work with Iridium-192. The median lethal dose allows for 5 roentgens of chronic absorption per one scale year.

Civilian absorption of radiation is substantially lower, because they don’t actively work with a source.
