1. I will try to tell you in my presentation about the negative impact the outside world
has on human health,especialy when we do not properly treat our mother
nature.Mother Earth in our home!Beware of it!
Nuclear disaster
Atomic science on Earth and its use are highly developed ,but a small mistake is enough to
cause a nuclear catastrophe that negatively affects the living organisms living on Earth.One
of them is the Chernobyl nuclear disaster ,which had the greatest impact on the events of the
1980s.No exception is also the ozone layer,vwhich was shot as a result of scientific negligence
,rocket caritiers ,artifical satellites and other space equipment, which caused changes and
problems on Earth, thanks to asrtonauts in quotes.

2. The five-episode HBO series, Chernobyl, brought to light one of the worst nuclear disasters
in the history of the world.
However, there were a few other such nuclear disasters which occurred because of either
faulty operation or maintenance at nuclear power plants and caused irreparable losses to
human and animal populations.
1. Fukushima Daiichi, Japan
The meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant on 11th March 2011, is one of the
worst nuclear disasters in the world history. While it was classified as Level 5 on the seven-
point International Nuclear Events Scale (INES), later it was escalated to Level 7 due to high
amounts of radiations.
The accident which occurred following a huge earthquake and a 15-metre tsunami left over a
million people displaced. While the number of direct deaths from the incident are estimated
to be zero, around 1,600 people died due to stress and evacuation procedures.
2. Chernobyl, Ukraine (former Soviet Union)
Considered as the world's worst nuclear disaster till date and classified as Level 7 on INES,
the nuclear accident at Chernobyl happened due to a sudden surge in power during a reactor
system test in the Reactor
It is estimated that approximately 2,00,000 people had to be relocated from their homes to
escape the massive amounts of harmful radiations and 31 people died as a direct result of
the accident.
3. Three Mile Island, USA
The 1978 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania was the
worst disaster in the history of US.
Although, the accident claimed no lives and released only little radioactive radiations, it did
provoke an outcry over the country's nuclear energy program.
4. Mayak or Kyshtym, former Soviet Union
A fault in the cooling system at the nuclear complex near Chelyabinsk resulted in a chemical
explosion in 1957 and the release of an estimated 70 to 80 tonnes of radioactive material into
the air.
Thousands of people were exposed to radiation and were evacuated from their homes.
Within a few days of the accident, 300 residents died of radiation poisoning. This accident was
categorised as Level 6 on the seven-point International Nuclear Events Scale (INES).
5. Windscale, UK
A fire in the graphite-core reactor at Cumbria in 1957 resulted in a limited release of
radioactivity. The reactor was later buried in concrete.
Whereas no deaths have been directly linked to this accident, it did cause 200 cases of cancer
in Britain. This accident was categorised as Level 5 on the seven-point International Nuclear
Events Scale (INES).
While these are the most serious ones, there are several others that weren't classified highly
on the nuclear scale.

4. nuclear explosion in an outdoor setting. Symbol of environmental protection and the dangers
of nuclear energy
There is a certain irony in the shorthand that experts commonly use when discussing this
country’s closest brush with nuclear cataclysm: TMI. Today, those letters are widely
understood to mean “too much information.” But well before the advent of social media, TMI
referred principally to the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station, a power plant on
the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania. Disaster struck there in 1979, and when it
did, too much information — solid, unassailable information — was not part of the mix.
Months later, a presidential commission cited a “lack of communication at all levels” as cause
for grave concern. Americans were frightened, and not just those in Pennsylvania. Fear was
intensified because, as the commission said, their right to know what was going on had been
sorely compromised.
Then again, so many things went wrong on the Susquehanna back in 1979. Disaster struck at
4 a.m. on March 28 when water-coolant pumps failed at the plant’s new second reactor,
known as TMI-2. That led to the reactor’s overheating, with the temperature rising steadily
after a stuck valve misled the operators into halting the flow of emergency cooling water.
Half the core was later found to have melted.
Details of the accident are recounted in the latest offering from Retro Report, a weekly series
of video documentaries examining major news stories from the past and their lessons for
today. In a nutshell, TMI-2 lurched through a series of crises for nearly a week. The
presidential panel later found plenty of blame to go around. The plant’s designer, Babcock &
Wilcox; the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the local utility, Metropolitan Edison;
TMI-2 managers and workers; and the news media collectively — none were spared in a
report carrying the subtitle “Need to Change.”
The worst of it fell on March 30, when radiation was purposefully released into the air to
relieve pressure within the system. That action fed apprehension beyond the plant’s
concrete walls that the situation had spun out of control. Rumors flew. So did thoughts of a
possible mass evacuation. Pennsylvania’s governor, Richard L. Thornburgh, was loath to go
that far, but he did advise pregnant women and small children near the island to find more
distant shelter. Contributing to the pervasive dread was a film that had just come out, “The
China Syndrome,” a thriller about a safety crisis at a nuclear power plant in California.
(“China syndrome” in the nuclear industry’s argot describes a meltdown so severe that the
material might burrow clear to the other side of the world, to China.) During the crisis, some
moviegoers emerged from theaters to see scary newspaper headlines about an unsettling
scenario in Pennsylvania evocative of the on-screen terror they had just witnessed.
No China syndrome took place at TMI. Nor were there immediate deaths or injuries. As for
long-term physical health effects, the thrust of most studies — though by no means all — is
that the disaster’s impact was negligible.
