No niin!
Intouduin 100%ia Tsernobyl-sarjan näkemisestä ja rekisteröidyin HBO Nordiciin kokeiluajalle sen takia. Siellä on myös mm. The Handmaid's Tale kaikkine kausineen ja uusin 3. kausi pyörii vain päivän USA:n jäljessä.
En saanut aluksi HBO:ta toimimaan kunnolla, jatkuvaa tökkimistä (bufferointia vai miksi sanotaan) muutaman sekunnin välein, googlasin onko muilla ollut samaa ongelmaa HBO:n kanssa ja tätä on ollut paljonkin. Netflixin kanssa näin ei ollut.
Onneksi sain teknistä vinkkiä tilanteeseen ja semmiten on homma ollut klaaria!
Tsernobyl nähtynä, hieno sarja - lisäsi yleissivistystä ja tietouttakin. Vaatii keskittymistä, katsoin muutamat selityspätkät ydinvoimalan toiminnasta pariin kertaan kelauksin. Ydinvoimalan toiminta ei ole aiemmin vaikuttanut kiinnostavalta, mutta kun se esitettiin osana mysteerikriisiä, johan alkoi kiinnostamaan... niin.
Spoiler-jälkimietintää:
Neuvostoliiton edesvastuuton säästöbisnes turvallisuuden kustannuksella oli aika huhheijaa luettavaa, reaktorien ohjaussauvojen vääränlaisuus ei koskenut vain Tsernobylia vaan monia muitakin ydinvoimaloita NL:ssa.
Millä ison/isojen katsatrofien partaalla maailma olikaan ja entä nykyään... Onko Tsernobyl ydinvoimaloiden suunnittelijoiden ja käyttäjien muistissa, "ei näin". Jos ydinvoimaloita on epämääräisissä "säästetään tai muuten säädetään" - maissa, riskit ovat sitä mukaan hieman epämääräisesti ilmoilla.
Ohessa ei spoilaamista, vaan tarjontaan kiehtova lehtijuttu kasvillisuuden ihmisiin verrattuna paremmasta kyvystä jatkaa elämistä Tsernobylin jälkeen ja out of the box-ajattelua siitä, miten alueen ekosysteemi oikeastaan sai mahiksen uudenlaiseen kukoistamiseen ihmispopulaation kaikottua sieltä.
.... But Chernobyl's exclusion zone isn't devoid of life. Wolves, boars and bears have returned to the lush forests surrounding the old nuclear plant.
And when it comes to vegetation, all but the most vulnerable and exposed plant life never died in the first place, and even in the most radioactive areas of the zone, vegetation was recovering within three years.
.....
Critically, unlike animal cells, almost all plant cells are able to create new cells of whatever type the plant needs. This is why a gardener can grow new plants from cuttings, with roots sprouting from what was once a stem or leaf.
All of this means that plants can replace dead cells or tissues much more easily than animals, whether the damage is due to being attacked by an animal or to radiation.
And while radiation and other types of DNA damage can cause tumours in plants, mutated cells are generally not able to spread from one part of the plant to another as cancers do, thanks to the rigid, interconnecting walls surrounding plant cells.
Nor are such tumours fatal in the vast majority of cases, because the plant can find ways to work around the malfunctioning tissue.
Interestingly, in addition to this innate resilience to radiation, some plants in the Chernobyl exclusion zone seem to be using extra mechanisms to protect their DNA, changing its chemistry to make it more resistant to damage, and turning on systems to repair it if this doesn't work.
Levels of natural radiation on the Earth's surface were much higher in the distant past when early plants were evolving, so plants in the exclusion zone may be drawing upon adaptations dating back to this time in order to survive.
A new lease of life
Life is now thriving around Chernobyl. Populations of many plant and animal species are actually greater than they were before the disaster.
Given the tragic loss and shortening of human lives associated with Chernobyl, this resurgence of nature may surprise you. Radiation does have demonstrably harmful effects on plant life, and may shorten the lives of individual plants and animals. But if life-sustaining resources are in abundant enough supply and burdens are not fatal, then life will flourish.
Crucially, the burden brought by radiation at Chernobyl is less severe than the benefits reaped from humans leaving the area. Now essentially one of Europe's largest nature preserves, the ecosystem supports more life than before, even if each individual cycle of that life lasts a little less.
In a way, the Chernobyl disaster reveals the true extent of our environmental impact on the planet. Harmful as it was, the nuclear accident was far less destructive to the local ecosystem than we were. In driving ourselves away from the area, we have created space for nature to return.
