CATASTROPHE AT CHERNOBYL
CHERNOBYL NEUCLEAR
DISASTER

Occurred on 26 April 1986 at
   Chernobyl Nuclear Power
       Plant in Ukraine.
    An explosion and fire
 released large quantities of
  radioactive contamination
 into the atmosphere ,which
spread over much of Western
      USSR and Europe.
Causes
               Operator error initially faulted
 The operator error was probably due to their lack of knowledge
 of nuclear physics and engineering, as well as lack of experience
                            and training.
  Operating instructions and design deficiencies found
  There actor had a dangerously large positive void coefficient.
The void coefficient is a measurement of how are actor responds
       to in creased steam formation in the water coolant.
  A more significant flaw was in the design of the control rods
   that are inserted into there actor to slow down there action.
  Other deficiencies besides these were not edinreactor design ,
as were its non-compliance with accepted standards and with the
              requirements of nuclear reactor safety.
Impact on People
 Economic impact
 Removal of radiation affected agricultural and forest land from
  production.
 Hugh amount of money in Belarus and Ukraine used for
  Chernobyl related benefits.
 Agricultural production costs have increased due to the need for

   special cultivation techniques , fertilizers and additives.
What happened
      SATURDAY APRIL
          26,1986
  Reactor #4 was undergoing a test to test
  the backup power supply in case of power
                     loss
     The power fell to low allowing the
      concentration of xenon 135 to rise
   The workers continued the test and in
  order to control the rising levels of xenon
   135,the controlled rods were pulled out.
The Reactor after the
 Explosion
After the explosion , most of
  the plant is still standing .
 Some might think from this
   picture that the disaster
wasn’t all that bad, but what
    makes the Chernobyl
disaster the worst in history
is the sheer volume of radio
 active materials that where
spewed across the European
         continent .
Aftermath

Only 30 people died due to the accident at
  Chernobyl, with 2 of those 30 dying
  because of the foremost explosions.The
  accident released tons of toxic into the
  environment,which spread all over
  EUROPE.The event gained much
  negative media attention and was much
  dramatized to represent countless
  mutations due to the accident,although
  this is far from the truth.
