Attention, Attention...
Attention, Attention...
My name's Takiany, and I love adventure!
Together with Oemmie, I want to explore the world!
We're now walking on the tracks.
No idea if there still comes a train here.
uhm...over there.....
is a cooling tower that never has been finished.
Reactor 5 and 6 aren't finished either..
We can go in the cooling tower,
that's so awesome.
There are 2 or 3 cooling towers in Belgium
where you can get in.
But I think it's a little bit different in Chernobyl.
I'll take a look in that thing for sure...
Let's do this.
Now we're going under the cooling tower.
Our guide told us that we should stay on the road
and don't touch the moss.
It's still radioactive.
They didn't clean this place well,
so there are still many hotspots here.
We better not touch that!
It jumped up to 41, I mean it's...
The dogs eating from the ground while it's so radioactive here...
That's not chill, right?
Now we are standing in the unfinished cooling tower.
- Aren't they so big?
- No, they're way smaller!
- I've never seen...
I see....
-They're smaller.
- Also less high...
- Isn't the one in Belgium...
- it is less high...
- Birds....
...sing for me.
Some birds were whistling all the time,
now I want to record the sound but they fled....
Oemmie and I are going to walk a little bit with this meter.
We're going to look for a higher spot.
0.75
If we come closer to the moss, it will jump up right?
0.77
0.80
0.90
2.4
Oemmie will find a hotspot.
Oemmie knows where to look.
Search for a spot with high radiation.
Here.
Oemmie finds almost everything.
Oemmie has found it again. Hotspot.
This is a dangerous moss.
Don't eat it Oemmie.
- No...
And at the bottom of my shoes?
- No.
- If it beeps at the bottom of my shoes
then I need to thrown them away.
That's how dangerous it is.
If radioactive particles stick on
your shoes or clothes
they will continue irradiate your body.
If that happens it could kill cells in your body.
And that's how you can get cancer from radiation.
If I'm right...
Look.
are we in danger, Oemmie ?
If you stay here for an hour, yes.
If you stay here for one hour...
If you lay down on that thing for one hour...
... then you're fucking up your body...
The cooling tower we just went,
was a part of the Chernobyl nuclear power-plant.
The government wont allow us to film
the power-plant from this side...
..but we can film it from the other side.
Let's have a quick look at how
the nuclear power plant looks like nowadays.
On this wall we can see the memorial stones
from the first people who died in the Chernobyl disaster.
The nuclear power plant is over there but unfortunately
I'm not allowed to film it. But you guys know me.
2 days ago there was a memorial day.
The President from Ukraine was here,
to put flowers on all those graves.
Why? Because it happened on April the 26.
2 days ago it was also April the 26,
 today it's April the 28.
So, the disaster was 32 years and 2 days ago.
And these are all the flowers..
that they laid down...
to commemorate the victims.
It's really nice to see it now.
The president of Ukraine was here two days ago,
to commemorate all those people.
So if we were here earlier,
then we would have been able to see it.
So, now we're at the backside....
- What does it show?
- So, before the sarcophagus the readings were higher.
It was 4. something...
and at the moment it shows us...
- No, it's 3.4...
- It was 3.4.
and now it shows us...
1.4
So, it drops.
That means that the sarcophagus really does it job.
They build the sarcophagus with the money from
many countries.
Also we, also the Belgian people paid for this.
Also the Belgian people paid for this.
Many countries donated money for it.
A part of the taxes we pay, is just here...
TO BE CONTINUED
- They have to know, how to swim Oemmie...
you always talking about food.
dude...
- I'm hungry...
