The general dosimeters available at Chernobyl could only read up to 3.6 Roentgen, so they took that value and said "hey, that's not a too bad a level of radiation" without realizing (or putting in their due diligence) that the true reading was over 15,000. And the head operator and architect of the disaster (dyatlov) kept using 3.6 as the proof that everything is alright and just a minor setback even though the only higher range dosimeter that was available immediately fried itself

I thought this was a machine from that timeline control centre thingie from Loki. That makes more sense.

I was curious too. This is my best guess,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster

The reactor crew could ascertain only that the radiation levels were somewhere above 0.001 R/s (3.6 R/h), while the true levels were vastly higher in some areas.

Because of inaccurate low readings, reactor crew chief Aleksandr Akimov assumed that the reactor was intact. The evidence of pieces of graphite and reactor fuel lying around the building was ignored, and the readings of another dosimeter brought in by 04:30 were dismissed under the assumption that the new dosimeter must have been defective.

Note the name Akimov in the post.

How about a nice game of chess

[–] Nonprophet@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Chess is a strange game. For me, the only winning move, is not to play at all.

Is the rating on the Richter scale?

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I wouldn't say it's on the scale anymore no

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 6 points 3 weeks ago

You should run a test were you temporarily disable the 4th processor core, stimulating a emergency

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

That's a very Cheery and noble setup.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

If I rate it too high, there may be some fallout

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

And I guess it wasn't profitable enough for them to keep it up because HBO stopped having this available on their streaming platform ages ago. Now you have to buy it from Amazon or Apple.

That looks like it can run the latest AAA games at 1000 fps (high settings)
