The content of the event:
Chernobyl - an invisible force.
Man with his six senses, unfortunately not able to observe to see, hear, smell deadly XX century - radiation penetrating everywhere really invisible, soundless, odorless, and tasteless and makes itself felt only irreversible changes in the organism - an incurable disease (cancer). The only device that is able today to identify a dangerous dose of radiation - a mechanical Geiger counter. But what perceptive meters are not everyone, and they are not cheap.
"Experiment" began on Friday 25 April 1986 on the third unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located about 100 kilometers north of Kiev. It was decided to suspend, to hold a series of technical operations. Surprisingly, however, for themselves engineers and technicians serving the third reactor, he acted outside the box, literally burst out of obedience. It dramatically increased temperature, try to reduce it to nothing lead. The fire started. On Saturday, April 26, 1986, two explosions occurred, dense metal shell of the reactor broke, broke down and concrete protection. Approximately 180 tons of uranium a flaming burst forth. Radioactive nuclear reactor power at the time was 1500 atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima. However, the real extent of the disaster came to light much later.
Three days of the Soviet leadership did not want to make any official statements, hoped that nothing bad will happen. For three days the world was completely in the dark. It was only on April 30, when employees of the Swedish Forsmark, located on the shore of the Baltic Sea, have registered strong nuclear radiation, does not come from their station, and from the clouds coming from the east, was given an alarm. Where did the infected cloud? The answer was one - from the east, the Soviet Union, which has enormous power nuclear reactors. Increased radiation recorded in Japan and the United States. It was then that physicists have identified as the center of an unknown nuclear radiation was an explosion at a nuclear reactor near Kiev.
And all this time the Chernobyl nuclear reactor burned 180 tons of white glowing uranium. Burned in the open air, and no one really knew what to do first and foremost - to extinguish the fire, cover the damaged unit to take out people.
In Kiev began to panic. People tend to go out of a blossoming spring city. All the houses were closed windows, doors, on the street trying to unnecessarily not to go. And only then the government began to act: to collect concilia became scientists, experts, doctors, who have been together to find a way out.
Stirred up the whole country. Every assistance were ready to provide from abroad. During the first days of fighting a fire at Unit 32 people were killed, 200 people were nuclear irradiation and were, in fact, doomed. It became clear also that from the territory of 200 thousand square kilometers adjacent to Chernobyl, with a population of about 130 thousand people, it is necessary to evacuate all because everyone was in danger of radioactive contamination. But, except for the people on this earth were pets and birds. This whole area was declared a zone of infection, uninhabitable for several decades.
Here is how the accident one of the residents of the village adjacent to stations that directly observed an explosion and fire at a nuclear power plant. "April 26 was a Saturday, the day was sunny and warm. And our neighbor in the house climbed onto the roof to sunbathe.
At the same time began decontamination of houses and entire streets. Hundreds poured water sprinkling machines, washing away the dirt. Thousands of people were forced to leave their seats and move to unfamiliar cities and towns. Genie escaped from Chernobyl has brought untold misfortune not only to the Soviet Union.
Radioactive cloud passed over Europe poisoned in some places the land, plants and animals. In the Scandinavian countries have been forced to slaughter 40,000 animals, 30,000 sheep in the north-west of England were irradiated and also destroyed. Thousands of tons of milk in Germany was considered poisonous and poured into the ground.
As it became known later, the main cause of fires and explosions have become the errors committed in the course of the experiment, conducted in the third reactor, where its performance was reduced by 7% from the established norm. It turned out that they themselves control devices at the plant were not ready for the deviation in the reactor.
Only 6 May temperature nuclear reactor relatively stabilized, but only by 30 November sarcophagus was almost ready. 300 thousand tons of concrete and 6,000 tons of metal was spent on its construction.
In April 1991, Soviet scientist Vladimir Chernyshenko reported that the Soviet authorities have provided the IAEA incorrect data, stating that the release into the atmosphere amounted to only 3% of the radioactive material in the reactor. While in fact the release ranged from 60% to 80%. V.Chernyshev meant that the victims of this release and radiation are not only adults but also children, who struck the thyroid gland. At the end of the XX century in various European countries on treatment are children from Chernobyl, gain a greater share of exposure. Visible disaster is over, and its invisible effects still being felt. Was contaminated with an area of ​​160,000 square kilometers - the northern part of Ukraine, western Russia and Belarus. About 400 thousand people were evacuated from the disaster zone.
The scale of the disaster might have a lot more if it were not for the courage and dedication of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Risking their lives, health, they protect people from the harmful effects and further spread of radiation.
