Item #: SCP-3777

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: The area where SCP-3777 is located must be buried at least 200 meters below normal sea level, and replaced with normal soil. The area must be contained in a containment cube made out of durable metal foam and insulated against seismic activity. The area must further be contained in a containment cube to insulate the outer area of containment from radioactivity. An armed skeleton group is to patrol an (>1 km) exclusion zone and give Class-A amnestics to any individual entering within the area and redirected.

Currently, a man-made non-anomalous copy of SCP-3777 has been stationed in Ukraine for incoming civilian visitors. To further prevent public suspicion, subtle mnestics have been diluted into the air globally. Any personnel suspected of radiation poisoning near a 5 km zone of SCP-3777 must be placed in quarantine immediately and suspended from duties indefinitely. Medical personnel are instructed to terminate and incinerate the infected individual or extend the life-time of the individual for testing.

Specialized mechanical radiation mitigators have been placed near the surface level of the location of the area to absorb and contain radiation around the environment. It is recommended that no individuals make direct contact with these mitigators under any circumstances. Individuals must replace these mitigators on a regular 2 week basis, but are suggested replacement every week.

With the use of emergency techniques and professional training, containment failure remains at a lower bound of 30% to an upper bound of 35%. Catastrophic containment failure is predicted to cause an XK-Class "End-Of-The-World" scenario approximately 6 weeks after the event. Further more, a catastrophic containment failure for over 1-week is expected to produce damage and casualties in excess of what the foundation can properly contain.

Description: SCP-3777 is a phenomenon affecting the area previously known to the public as "Chernobyl". The area's nuclear reactors located 3,700 miles East from the non-anomalous copy of SCP-3777 stationed within Ukraine, Former Soviet Union exploded and subsequently caused the manifestation of the SCP-3777 phenomenon.

SCP-3777 affects anything within a 200 meter radius of said area, causing gamma radiation to be released from every material present within the radius at a constant rate. Effects of entering SCP-3777 set in almost immediately, with fatal or acute doses becoming visible seconds after exposure. This typically renders the individual dangerous.

Any gamma radiation leaving the area will continue to spread further indefinitely with the same potent dose unless enclosed by an object. Unfortunately, gamma radiation will continue to damage objects even when enclosed with the constant doses until the radiation successfully breaches containment.
