The Chernobyl Disaster

On the 26th April 1986, this was the average day early in the morning. The ordinary citizen of Pripyat does not know that a devastating incident is going to happen and their lives will never change again. The most serious nuclear accident in the world is about to happen. The nuclear explosion filled the surrounding environment with radioactive poison, which polluted the area of ​​Pripyat and made it a ghost town that could not be settled. There is no clear evidence of how this disaster occurred, but there are several main causes of explosion, such as design defects in a completely untrained reactor (see).

The Chernobyl accident, an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union in 1986, was the most serious disaster in the history of nuclear power generation. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located in the settlement of Pryp'yat, 10 miles northwest of Chernobyl (16 km), 65 miles north of Kiev (104 km) in Ukraine. This power station consists of four nuclear reactors, each capable of generating 1,000 megawatts, which was launched from 1977 to 1983. This disaster occurred between 25th and 26th April 1986 which tried experiment which Unit 4 engineers did not design well. Workers removed most of the control rods from the core while stopping the reactor power conditioning system and the emergency safety system and allowing the reactor to continue operating at 7%. Others exacerbated these mistakes, and core cycle reaction was uncontrollable at 1:23 am on 26 April.

On April 26, 1986, the nuclear reactor explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant caused the worst nuclear reactor accident in history at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. This is the only accident rated as the highest level 7 by the International Atomic Energy Event Scale before the disaster of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in March 2011, which is a "serious accident". At the time of the accident, 7 million people in Ukraine, including 2.2 million people, lived in contaminated areas. After the accident, a new city Slavutych was built outside the restricted area to provide residence and support to the employees of the factory retired in 2000. A report prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) accused 56 of the direct deaths from the accident and estimated that there were more than 4,000 deaths from cancer.
