bionerd23 | chernobyl 2012: finding a fragment of chernobyl's nuclear reactor fuel (in nature) @bionerd23 | Uploaded May 2012 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
this is the hottest piece of radioactive material i have ever handled
- a fragment of chernobyl's very nuclear fuel!
the readings on my gamma scout are far off, because the geiger-mueller tube is overflowing - thus, showing a false-low reading. the dose rate for skin contact is in the multiple sieverts per hour range.
the shown object is actually a fuel fragment that has been first discovered by a great fellow, Carl Willis - so props to him for locating it! here's his video: youtube.com/watch?v=K-MC9VBSWa8
