The Disaster at Chernobyl

Chernobyl accident On April 26, 1986, the operators of the Chernobyl Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine carried out what they regarded as daily safety tests. But fate is not a member of these operators. Without any warning, Reactor # 4 was designed to be unstable because it was operating at low power during downtime and Reactor was not secure at this power level. The internal temperature has risen. Trying to cool the system has the opposite effect. The core is rapidly increasing.

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 stopped the reactor power conditioning system and emergency safety system and removed most of the control rods from the core while 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. The report prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization is due to the direct death of 56 people due to the accident and estimated that there were more than 4,000 deaths from cancer.
