- Why did they shoot the Elephant’s Foot in Chernobyl?
In short, the people examining the Elephant's Foot couldn't find a better way to break off a piece of it The team that discovered the "Elephant's Foot" were specialists from the Kurchatov Institute, the Soviet Union's premier nuclear research institution, sent to Chernobyl during the "liquidation" (i e , clean-up) in 1986
- r chernobyl on Reddit: How radioactive is the Elephants Foot today? I . . .
There are photographs of folks in the same room as the foot, taken in far more recent years Initially when authorities were trying to work out its composition and toxicity, they had to build a gimble with an AK47 attached to fire a few rounds at it, so that the super hardened chips could be collected (again by some form of gimble trolley doodad) to test it
- The first photo of the Elephants Foot (restored and colourized)
Taken in December 1986, they used a camera on a wheeled trolly, because approaching the Foot was too dangerous Here you can see the Foot in its pristine shape It was initially thought to be molten lead because of its shiny, metallic appearance Over the years, it has been gradually disintegrating and looks quite different now
- An answer to what’s going on in this picture. : r chernobyl - Reddit
The wiki page says that this picture was taken “in 1996, the Elephant's Foot was visited by the deputy director of the New Safe Confinement Project, Artur Korneyev,[a] who took photographs using an automatic camera and a flashlight to illuminate the otherwise dark room” so the long exposure comments make perfect sense
- What exactly happens when you get too close to Elephants Foot?
First of all, the Elephant's Foot is no longer particularly radioactive Strangely enough, the reactor pit (where no fuel-containing masses can be found) is at least a hundred times hotter Walking up to the foot would only result in a trivial dose Alpha, beta and gamma attack the body in different ways
- Worldd first Elephants Foot (Chernobyl) : r interestingasfuck - Reddit
Elephant's Foot is a solid mass of melted nuclear fuel mixed with concrete, sand and core sealing material At the time of its discovery, Elephant's Foot was emitting approximately 8,000 to 10,000 roentgens, or 80 to 100 grays, per hour, delivering a lethal dose of radiation (4 5 grays) within just five minutes
- Recent image of the elephant’s foot? : r chernobyl - Reddit
By the data from 2009 2010, foot has cooled off significcaly, that you can even stand near it At 2010 2011 researcher was exploring the foot and it was around 7-10 roentgens per hour So all these myths about that foot has 30 000 roentgens near it is busted completely Thats because it had time to cool off both in temperature and radiation
- The Elephants Foot : r chernobyl - Reddit
The Elephant's Foot is a small portion of that melt, and most of the Foot is made up of melted concrete Uranium, which alloyed with zirconium to form microscopic crystals, is a small portion of that So, basically, the Foot is a pile of melted concrete (Silicon Dioxide) with some uranium, zirconium, and a few other elements
- What is the expected “life timeline” of the Elephant’s Foot at . . .
Bonus question- fate of the foot: The elephants will probably go away long before the radiation all goes away The wiki page is a great source for this, but the tl;dr is that between the mineral phases cooling at different rates, the internal radiation smashing things up, and the day night cycles of temperature, the foot is breaking apart
- Did I find the elephants foot in Agropom underground? : r stalker - Reddit
The Elephant's Foot is also nicknamed "The closest thing to Medusa in reality" because if you're close enough to see it, you're dead from radiation poisoning without question I don't mean to seem brash or rude in this, I just LOVE that factoid about the Elephant's foot and try to share it whenever it seems applicable, hehe
