Chernobyl: 30 Years On

April 26th 2016 marked the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, the worst ever civilian nuclear accident. The EBRD was tasked by the international community with managing the financing of work to secure the site, including the construction of the enormous arch which will protect damaged Reactor 4. This is our story.

    The liquidators and firemen at Chernobyl were heroes. The firemen that were dispatched there got the worst of it because they were already too close to the reactor for too long before realizing how deadly their situation was. They were on a suicide mission and didn't know until it was too late. Those men were practically cooked from the inside out within hours after leaving the area. They took in massive doses of radiation. Some of the liquidators shoveling debris off the roof mentioned how the soles of their feet felt like they were being stung by bees, or stabbed with hot needles. Uncontained nuclear fuel can do nasty, cruel things to people.

    2 people were killed immediately. 29 of that 31 died in hospital days or weeks later. Due to a deliberate labeling of many later deaths of people exposed to radiation from the disaster as ANYTHING other than the truth, real figures are of casualties are impossible to come by. Many people made ill in the months and years that followed were told their illnesses were psychosomatic, particularly linked to their fear of radiation, which was why their symptoms mimicked radiation sickness or radiation induced cancers.

Still a whole lot of work ahead to disassemble the entire reactor and building once the arch is in place with its crane inside.. It will be a huge relief to know the environment and people are finally safe once the building is in place over the reactor though! Awesome job! 😎

    I have to wonder - how many people have become rich as a result of this disaster? Helping out in the name of humanity is one thing. But profiting to excess is quite another. Especially when there were many, many people who knowingly sacrificed their lives in the wake of this tragedy in the name of mitigation. I want to see a documentary produced that chronicles the lives of the key players in the remediation and recovery following this disaster. Those who sacrificed their lives in the heat of the moment are the real heroes, and those who profited should be forced to disgorge their profits to benefit the families of those who were self sacrificing.

    One theory is that the reactor water dissociated into hydrogen and oxygen from the heat, Then these gases collected somewhere in the building and recombined to form water again, with an even larger release of heat, causing the second explosion. It was the same chemical reaction that destroyed the space shuttle Challenger a few months earlier and the German airship Hindenburg nearly fifty years earlier.

    What pisses me off is how long they waited after the explosion to finally tell their own people living next to it. The workers and their families didn't even know til well past when the government knew exactly the horrible extent. Hell, Russia even denied it was that bad even when other countries registered so much radiation they thought a nuclear bomb had been detonated. And after all that, Russia told the people it'd only be for three days so they left everything behind. I'd be pissed if my local police told me to evacuate for only three days and then find out oh, by the way, you can never go back to your home and get all your personal stuff. Like, wtf??

    Fuel didn't explode. The reactor exploded, yes, but this was due to steam pressure, not due to nuclear excursion. The moment the control rods were inserted, due to faulty design (the tips were covered in graphite), they increased reactivity in the reactor instead of stopping the reaction which created a bunch more steam from a small puddle of water still at the lower plenum of the reactor. The violence of this steam tore the fuel channels and the control channels apart which is why control rods siezed at around 2.5 m in the core instead of at approximately 7.5 m (full core depth). The steam increased the reactivity of the reactor further increasing temperature which in turn increases pressure. It was a runaway condition at that time. Eventually, something had to give and the reactor lid was blown open. The explosion of the reactor actually stopped the nuclear reaction because critical mass was lost. But, superheated graphite immediately ignited when air was introduced and that burning of the graphite moderator melted the reactor and the remaining fuel. It should be noted that nuclear energy is still the most useful and most clean energy we have. Even with Chernobyl and Fukusima (along with 20 or so other civilian accidents in nuclear facilities), nuclear energy is no more dangerous and problematic to the environment than any other. In fact, much more radioactive material is ejected in the atmosphere by burning coal than using uranium. Secondly, in approximately 70 years of using nuclear energy there were two very seiour accidents. Fukushima and chernobyl. The first survived a 9.0 earthquake and a subsequent tsunami (nothing would happen to the reactors had the diesel generators been installed on higher ground) and the 2nd one was fundamentally flawed. In Fukushima, no one died of radiation. No one. In Chernobyl, there have been 33 confirmed deaths directly connected to the reactor. There is no real data with respect to liquidators (there are estimates) and they didn't die in the incident itself, they died later in the cleanup. But even this accident could have been avoided had the workers ran the test according to regulations. In my opinion, there's no real alternative to nuclear energy.

They are politics, not scientists... This fear mongering in your article is total BS : the half life of hazardous material in a radioactive cloud after a disaster like Chernobyl is just about 2 days (heavy elements with long half lives are NOT airborne), by the time, the cloud was over Scandinavian countries before falling south toward France, with few remaining scattered dust mainly in the upper atmosphere. Plus, it has been proven that the increased risk of thyroid cancer is effective in the days right after exposure, and for Chernobyl, the data shown no increase significantly higher than random noise. Dont trust those activists associations like "sortir du nucleaire" quoted in the article, they are not rationally, but emotionally reacting. Just trust the data (and those data are publicly available, from different sources, not only France), and if you look at the numbers, there is nothing to be afraid of.

They have also removed about 1 Meter of ground below the whole construction site and filled it with concrete to protect the workers from any radiation from the ground. So it's pretty safe to stand there without protection as you are protected by those safety measurements. But it's not that easy to just make radiation "go away".

    That clip someone took inside the bus at 3:29 -- those white flashes you see on the camera footage is very likely to be the effects of ionizing radiation striking the camera(it's inner electronic components). God that's so eerie. This was only 30 or so hours after the explosion so the levels of radiation in and around the city of pripyat would've been dangerously high, hence the evacuation finally being ordered once the party officials finally had enough sense to evacuate their own people once they got word people were staying indoors in GERMANY due to the incident and the detection of unusually high levels of background radiation. They portray this revelation in the HBO series that just recently aired too. So many of those poor citizens of pripyat hadn't the slightest idea what was going on. They thought it was merely a fire at the power plant and that it was being taken care of. They believed that the STATE would tell them if they were in any real danger. Russia still won't even admit to this day that the May Day parade in Kiev several days after the accident, even happened. Such a shame. Though I'm glad HBO decided to do a docu-drama on the events. They didn't play any political games. They didn't pull any punches. They just let the facts of the story carry the show and as far as I know, they didn't take all that many liberties with it at all. Lots of people have heard of Chernobyl but don't know all the details, the lives that were lost, the men that sacrificed their lives and their future health in order to spare Europe and the former Soviet Union from even further damage. What a tragedy. A completely preventable tragedy caused by an insatiable desire for secrecy, and ignorant men in positions of power.

    Unfortunately this is not the end. The new shelter is impressive in design and scale, but it has a life span and will need to be maintained. This will probably protect the world through my lifetime and yours, unless there's an unforeseen disaster natural or man made. We as the human race don't seem to learn our lessons very well. Each new generation, as generations of the past as well, are arrogant and think that they know better than generations that have gone before. In the 1970's Three Mile Island was an advanced state of the art facility by western standards that was considered very safe. Chernobyl was a state of the art facility by Soviet standards and was also considered very safe. I remember when the events of Fukushima unfolded that the nuclear expert being interviewed on the news said that the reactor design used there was very safe and that he was confident of a good outcome. Then the explosions from the build up of hydrogen gas happened as several reactors all melted down. Now everybody has 20/20 hindsight as far as all the flaws of design. Are we so arrogant as to assume that we know so much better now? What unforeseen conditions will we miss with our newer, safer designs? Will we render another region uninhabitable to learn what those unforeseen hazards and flaws are? I noticed the mention of nuclear waste in some previous comments, there's another issue. What do we do with the waste? Burry it for future generations to deal with? That's essentially what we're doing now. Fossil fuels are a problem and wind and solar only go so far. What's the answer? I don't think the answer is nuclear power. Other forms of fission that look promising are being worked on, but at this point I'm skeptical. All we can do now is the best we can to find better solutions to our energy hungry world.

    Ground water contamination is an inevitable outcome at sometime in the future. The sarcophagus is only partial solution. The liquidators tunneled under the reactor in the 1980's and cement was pumped into the chamber, but how long will that last? The current sarcophagus has leaked water from weather and rain into reactor 4, where has this run off water gone for the last 30 years? Whenever big money is concerned, corruption will always follow. This is the same in all the world.

    Everyone is against Nuclear power because of this, Fukishima, and three mile island, but Nuclear energy is the way to go. Nuclear, wind, solar, hydroelectric, and some forms of biomass I believe is the only way to a bright future. I can guarantee you there has been tens of thousands more casualties as result of fossil fuel energy (mining coal/oil, operating plants, ect...) than Nuclear! Nuclear energy is only dangerous when ignorance is involved, the operators of Chernobyl and the builders of Fukishima should have known better than to make the mistakes they made. I'm by no means saying anything bad about the people that lost their lives at their job, they have my full respect and I know they didn't mean any harm, but when they put the operation above safety, accidents are made.

But when you read about something like the top engineers at NASA planning to develop a future heavy-lift rocket booster for a future mission to Mars by taking an old surplus Saturn V motor left over from the Apollo program out of a crate, disassembling it and reverse-engineering it, you begin to lose hope. If you told NASA engineers from 50 years ago that in 2016 the best and brightest at NASA would be trying to figure out how to design a rocket engine for a Mars mission by reverse-engineering one of their 50-year old surplus engines, I believe they would be shocked...and not in a good way.
