I’m watching Chernobyl on HBO and they’re describing the different areas of the building after the explosion, some of which they say would kill you within days or weeks due to the high level of radiation. They also talk about how they can’t even use robots to clean the material up because the extreme radiation will shred the circuitry of the robots. So, how on earth are these things constructed in the first place?
