Actually, what was the technical justification for the control rods having graphite tips? Graphite is a moderator, this is pretty much the opposite of what one would expect or want when he lowers control rods. >inb4 "it was cheaper"
This is not a justification. Wooden tips would have been even cheaper.
tl;dr Difference in philosophy and water boiled.
Water is weird where it can act both as a Poison (kill reactions), or Moderator (start reactions).
In a PWR (Western Capitalist Reaction). Water is a moderator. You pump water in to start the reaction of a super hot core.
In the RBMK (Soviet By The People For The People Reactor), The water is a poison. Instead of wasting energy pumping the water into the core or designing a different poison system. You let the Fuel and the Water live together (remember, Water can be a poison). You then use a Graphite Control Rod to moderate (start) the reactions. The other side of the control rod is Boron that can act as a "just in case poison".
In Chernobyl. All the water used to poison the reaction boiled, but they didn't get any reactions because of Xenon Poisoning (byproduct of the Uranium rods). The operators mistakenly thought it's the Boron killing the reactions, so they yanked all of them all the way out.
Which then started the reactions, but then it started burning the Xenon super fast. Current Status: no water, boron, and soon xenon to poison the reactions. They're in deep shit. So they dropped the control rods to dump all the boron in.
The boron, that's at the opposite side of a control rod with a graphite head used to start reactions to overcome the water....the water that boiled away.
I remember this from the general, this shit is expertly done if nobody told me it was from /rbmk/ I would have assumed it was done professionally by HBO
To Dyatlov's defense, the statement of an RBMK exploding is literally the same as: >Tylenol doesn't cause holes your stomach! IT DOESN'T!!! >Please explain, how does an OLED monitor cause wrinkles? Are you a moron? >You didn't see an 3090RTX catch fire! Because it can't!
I will agree it is a good quality production but it’s nothing but pure propaganda. Look into the real research done into the RBMK incident and you’ll find that it was an intentional attack orchestrated by certain foreign intelligence agencies
>Might as well jump (JUMP)
>Go ahead and jump (JUMP)
Kind of an inappropriate song choice.
i get it, i aint laughing but i get it
Stop being so negative.

it needed to be a material that wouldn't break down under exposure to super-heated water.

Western lies, the CIA homosex Nazi Banderite israeli Boris Johnsons did it.
long shot but does anyone remember that fan edit of the first and last episode an anon from /RBMK/ made? anyone got the link? it was really well done
that sounds awesome, but there is some really good kino stuff in the middle episodes too.
nvm it shows up on google

I can only help with this
I remember this from the general, this shit is expertly done if nobody told me it was from /rbmk/ I would have assumed it was done professionally by HBO
you're delusional, go to the infirmary
>people actually believe this shit
wtf i love communism now!
I merely follow the truth and not propaganda
wtf i love skydaddy now
4th rewatch started
They're just loosening out.
Are you an expert on RBMK reactors? If the control rod covers are jumping up and down, then they probably should be doin' that.
yeah, they're self adjusting
I require twenty mattresses, comrade. My business is my own.
>3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.
>3.6 sieverts, not great, not terrible
/rbmk/ was the dying gasp of Cinemaphile
truth
I see it rather as an awakening from standby.
Give Cinemaphile kino with high memetic potential.
Cinemaphile will come together.
YOU DID NOT SEE OC BECAUSE IT IS NOT THERE
Nice Tetris puzzle, comrade. Now go back to memorizing the Communist Manifesto.
Down down down! Get down!
Comrade Dyatlov, I apologize for this unsatisfactory result.
>*reactor explodes*
> well, THAT just happened....
no it wasn't
>reactor explodes
No it didn't
No it did not just happen!
All this just to boil some water, what the frick is wrong with people?

That scene was nightmare-tier.

Huh yeah there was me thinking that Soviets could actually make mistakes but actually it was someone else!
Glad you're finally awake
>real research
Let me guess, this would be research very specifically not done by any recognised academic or investigatory body, right?
