Ep 200: Disaster on the Graveyard Shift - Chernobyl

Let's talk about the most expensive disaster of all time! The meltdown at Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. A safety test that was anything but 'routine' ended in an explosion of radioactive material, and everything became poison. We'll talk about the USSR, Nuclear Power, the disaster itself, and the aftermath. This is episode 200!! We are so excited to have gotten this far, thank you so much for listening!!  Sources:The Chernobyl Disaster [Ben Fogle] - Parts 1-3 (Documentary 2022) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsr3vxsgjnA'This is my home': Life inside Chernobyl’s exclusion zone | VOANews - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MokT_Y0YDhwChernobyl: Flourishing lives in the dead zone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYxO7iGO6b0Chernobyl mini series - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7366338/?ref_=ttch_ov_iMidnight in Chernobyl  / Adam Higgenbotham - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_in_ChernobylChernobyl: Minute by Minute | Full Film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGw3kRGX35sInside Chernobyl's Abandoned Ghost Town | Pripyat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_3DFTm8ioAFrequently Asked Chernobyl Questions - https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/focus/chernobyl/faqsExploring Chernobyl: A Stalker's Unseen Journey Inside The Exclusion Zone - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-ef7wi_TQThe Elephant's Foot - Corpse of Chernobyl - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIWu8rbWLGo Cary Elwes's memoir, As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride.
