A trip to Chernobyl

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

Do you remember the place in FO1 they called the glow, that place took a direct hit from a nuke so it was glowing... In Chernobyl the nuclear reactor kind of melted down, and that is when it glowed, in all it's post nuclear magnificence...

Seriously, I doubt that radioactive particles would glow, although the decay of certain elements certainly emits a photon of light. We all know that radiaction is glowing green in fallout, but I would not take 50s pop as reality.

Anyone know what colour radioactive decay is in real life, if it creates a glow at all.

 

[c0ldst33ltrs4u]

What would you call a big bright white light appearing over a nuclear reactor?

 

[Sander]

Yes, it creates glow. Why does it create glow? Because there's photon(gamma)-radiation. Gamma radiation is simply the expelling of a photon.

The color of the glow will then depend on the energy of the photon(ie. the frequency)/

"Hi, my name is sander and I think I'm smrt"

That's funny, two Sander's that think they're smrt

 

[SkynetV4]

Are they not?

 

[Daemon Spawn]

I think that the Sanders are definitely smrat. Boastful too.

The second one seems a little whiny though.

I couldn't find this anywhere (after a few searches) so I guess it haven't been posted before (just delete it if it has).


Someone has taken photos in the area around Chernobyl after the disaster. Enjoy

[SuAside]

dont think this one in particular has been posted before, no, but a lot of these have been posted.

still, always nice to look through the pics.

 

[Duckman]

Amazing pics. So barren and wastelandish

 

[Lukus]

This one has been posted before, here, but it was more than two years ago and the link in that thread is down, so it's understandable you couldn't find it in a search.

Still cool.

 

[Mad Max RW]

It's also a hoax. She never drove through the Chernobyl area. This was exposed years ago.

 

[Duckman]

Oh well. Still nice pictures.

 

[Loxley]

I found these on dumpalink, and while they are not from chernobyl they gave me a little retro feel.

Maybe a nice idea for a russian fallout version.

On a comeplatly unrelated note i found this and i so think these guys deserve what they get.

 

[Ghoullove]

If that redneck attack was real then they got what they deserved. Also I noticed the rednecks were driving a Toyota pick up truck, which is kinda unbeliveable.

 

[Stock]

I got a 404.

 

[EyeMaster7]

I had 688.

 

[youngnutter]

Ghost Town and Land of Wolves + more.

The searchs i ran found a few hits for this from some time back so i thought i would resurrect Elena Filatovas motorbike journey and travelogue across the Chernobyl wasteland once again.

I find this a genuinely interesting read coupled with impressive pictures. Aimed at anyone who visits here and never found this site and those here that allready know it and just want to peek again.

Not only are there questions about the authenticity of her story, but it was posted about before (though the original 'Kiddofspeed' website is down, there is a working mirror).

Merged with the old thread, so people can check out the new site, the mirror of the old site, and the evidence that her story is partly fiction.
