Chernobyl's Underground Wall: a Forgotten Story | Chornobyl Uncharted Ep 20

Many know about the construction of the Sarcophagus and the cleanup works in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. Yet, there is much more. In this episode of Chornobyl Uncharted, we uncover one of the most unusual engineering projects ever attempted at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It is the construction of an invisible, underground wall designed to protect water sources from radioactive contamination draining from the destroyed RBMK nuclear reactor. In this video you will learn how hundreds of filtration dams, silt traps, and specialized water facilities were employed to build a barrier around the power plant. We also explore the international collaboration that brought crucially needed Italian technology to the Chernobyl Zone, the massive efforts to monitor groundwater, and… my personal memory that connects the past to the present in a rather unexpected way. 00:00 – Intro 00:25 – A great fight for water 01:51 – The wall 03:32 – Italy gives a helping hand 06:06 – 350 boreholes 07:23 – Crash-test 08:19 – One story from my childhood with an unexpected turn Dive into a rabbit hole of Chornobyl:   / thechernobylfamily   Buy Fuzik (the Cat) a treat: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/chernoby...
