Photo Bit of a weird question, but I cant find any answers. What exactly does the core that exploaded look like under the sarcophagus? like was it compltely cleaned up or does it look just like it did in the photos taken from the helicopter with just the sarcophagus on top?

I figured attaching photos from a visit would be cool for people who do not have the opportunity to go to the location itself. I know they may not be the best; someone’s probably posted better ones. I just figured I could share what I have.

I have more if anyone else would like a part 2 or second set of photos!

I just found out that ā€œThe Heapā€ which is located in the steam suppression pools below the reactor, is emitting a much higer level of radiation than the elephants foot. While the elephants foot was emitting 700 roentgens per hour in 2000, The Heap was emitting 1020 roentgens.

(The first two photos shows The Heap, while the 3rd photo shows the elephants foot)

Is this even the picture of reactor 4? And if it is how did they take it since you’d die in there.

The "Bridge of Death" is a huge railroad bridge that connects Pripyat and Chernobyl and was located about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the reactor.
