Chernobyl footage inside reactor 4, the basement and the Elephants foot


Чернобыльская АЭС. Внутри объекта "Укрытие", март 2010 года пом. 012 (бассейн-барбатер)

Translated video title and description:
"Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Inside the 'Shelter' object (the Sarcophagus), March 2010. Room 012 (bubbler pool)."

"Video with original sound.
A trip to the FCM (fuel-containing material), which looks like pumice or slag. This FCM acquired that appearance due to entering the water of the bubbler pool immediately after the explosion of Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
Video operator: Sergey Koshelev."

A former Chernobyl cleanup worker recounts the desperate 1986 effort to clear highly radioactive debris from Reactor 4's roof—after robots failed, thousands of soldiers ("bio-robots") were sent into lethal radiation, a mission he remembers with pride, guilt, and sorrow decades later.
