Video - Chernobyl videos

Boys and girls!

We tried to show the Chernobyl zone from a bit different perspective. Production values are low, script was made on the spot and all was all fuelled by some amount of Ukrainian vodka, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

We have also visited not so widely known antenna array near the Russian Woodpecker. The actual antennas are all cut into pieces for scrap now but we were lucky to find a layer of ice in the otherwise inaccessible building basement, where the remains of the main control room can be found. (Second video)

The Circle radar array is believed to be a complementary system to the Duga radar and its main purpose was testing signal propagation the the ionosphere to optimise working frequency of the the Russian Woodpecker.

A bit of back story: Jupiter plant in Pripyat was using tape recorders manufacturing as a smoke screen for producing electronic components the Soviet military. Some parts of the factory remained open until 1990's, including the underground chemical laboratory, now flooded.

The most interesting thing there are metal military-style crates filled with highly radioactive fine grey powder. There are some speculations about its origin but most theories lead to ground graphite from the reactor core.


The lab is around 4:00 and the powder at 6:00 mark if you get bored with the walking bits.
