A brief description of Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disaster.

1. Nuclear Catastrophe Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster

4. The reactor had a dangerously large positive void coefficient. The void coefficient is a measurement of how a reactor responds to increased steam formation in the water coolant.

5. A more significant flaw was in the design of the control rods that are inserted into the reactor to slow down the reaction.

6. Other deficiencies besides these were noted in reactor design, as were its non-compliance with accepted standards and with the requirements of nuclear reactor safety

8. 203 people were hospitalized immediately. 31 of them eventually died. Most of these people were workers in the plant or local firefighters.

9. Evacuation of people from the affected zones.

10. Radiation/Health Impact

11. Increase in incidence of cancer and leukemia.

12. Increase in congenital birth deformities.

13. Increase in suicide in the contaminated zones.

14. Increase in risk to mental health.

15. Psychological ImpactPeople have been led to think of themselves as victims over the years, and are therefore more apt to take a passive approach toward their future rather than developing a system of self-sufficiency.

17. Removal of radiation affected agricultural and forest land from production.

18. Hugh amount of money in Belarus and Ukraine used for Chernobyl related benefits .

20. Experts consider it to be the second largest nuclear accident after the Chernobyl disaster, but more complex as multiple reactors are involved.

22. Poor communication with the public

24. Humans were evacuated from within a 20-kilometre radius of the earthquake-damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor complex soon after the overheated reactors and spent fuel ponds began leaking radiation.

26. Radioactive impact on milk and other food products (seafood).

28. Construction of shelter to contain damaged reactor.

29. Removal of radioactive debris.

30. Early evacuation from the affected areas.

31. Regular monitoring of radiation level.

32. Follow the local authorities instructions.

33. Proper communication between authorities and locals during crisis.
