The Chernobyl disaster was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. In 1986, a flawed reactor design and human error caused an explosion and fire that released radiation into the atmosphere. Over 30 people died immediately from radiation exposure. The radioactive fallout spread over much of Europe. Long term impacts included increased cancer rates and contamination of surrounding land and water. The disaster demonstrated the importance of safety in nuclear power and providing emergency response plans for such accidents.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster - 1986
1. CHERNOBYL DISASTER
THE WORST NUCLEAR DISASTER IN
HISTORY

3. THE CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
• The plant was located 18km north of the city of Chernobyl.
• Its construction began in the 1978 and Reactor 4 was completed in 1983
• The plant consisted of 4 reactors and 2 new were under construction.
• The plant produced 10% of Ukraine’s electricity.
• It was a Reaktor Bolshoy Moshehnosty Kipyashiy (RBMK) type reactor which was cooled by water
and moderated by graphite.

4. • The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately
trained personnel.
• The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere.
• Two Chernobyl plant workers died on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks
as a result of acute radiation poisoning.
• UNSCEAR says that apart from increased thyroid cancers, “there is no evidence of a major public health impact
attributable to radiation exposure 20 years after the accident”.
• Resettlement of areas from which people were relocated is ongoing. In 2011 Chernobyl was officially declared a
tourist attraction.

5. REACTOR PLANT SCENARIO
1. As the reaction occurs, the uranium fuel becomes hot.
2. The water is pumped through the core in pressure tubes.
3. The water removes the heat from the fuel.
4. The heated water is turned into steam.
5. The steam turns the turbines to produce electricity.
6. The hot water is then cooled to be reused.
7. This same process is repeated again and again.

6. WHAT HAPPENED?
• Saturday, April 26, 1986: -Reactor #4 was undergoing a test to test the backup
power supply in case of a power loss.
• The power fell too 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 control rods were pulled out.
• The experiment involved shutting down the coolant pumps, which caused the
coolant to rapidly heat up and boil.
The external relative gamma dose for a person in the open near the
Chernobyl disaster site.
7. • Pockets of steam formed in the coolant lines. When the coolant expanded in this
particular design, the power level went up.
• All control rods were ordered to be inserted. As the rods were inserted, they
became deformed and stuck.
• The rods melted and the steam pressure caused an explosion, which blew a
hole in the roof. A graphite fire also resulted from the explosion.
• To save money, the reactor was constructed with only partial containment,
which allowed the radiation to escape.
• This dispersed large amount of radioactive particulate and gaseous debris
containing Cesium-137 and Strontium-90 which are highly radioactive reactor
waste product.

8. REASONS FOR THE ACCIDENT
• Workers’ lack of knowledge of reactor physics and engineering, as well as
lack of experience and training
• Delay
• The night shift was not prepared to carry out the experiment
• The operators were unaware of the xenon poisoning
• Insufficient communication between the safety officers and the operators in
charge of the experiment
• Disabled all safety systems
• Poor quality and rushed design.

9. INITIAL IMPACT
• Explosion released 190 tons of radioactive gasses into the atmosphere.
• 231 people were hospitalized immediately due to acute radiation sickness and 31
eventually died.
• 3 million children exposed to radiation.
• 7 million lived in contaminated areas.
• Fire started that lasted for 10 days.
• Wind carried radiation far distances.

10. LONG TERM IMPACT
• International spread of radioactivity.
• Detected over all of Europe except for the Iberian Peninsula.
• The nuclear meltdown provoked a radioactive cloud which
Ukraine and Moldova, but also over Macedonia, Croatia,
Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary,
Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Ireland, France and the UK.
• Radioactive release
• Highly radioactive compounds that accumulate in the food
iodine and strontium are particularly dangerous.
• All of the noble gases, including krypton and xenon,
released immediately into the atmosphere by the first steam
• About 55% of the radioactive iodine in the reactor was
particles and as organic iodine compounds.
11. • Fauna and vegetation
• pine forest in the 10km2 surrounding of the reactor turned ginger brown and died,
earning the name of the "Red Forest“.
• Some animals in the worst-hit areas also died or stopped reproducing.
• Socio Economical impact
• The affected territories are mostly rural.
• A total of 7,84,320 hectares of agricultural land was removed from service in the three
countries.
• Timber production was halted for a total of 6,94,200 hectares of forest.
• Health Effects
• Thyroid cancers
• Leukemia and non-thyroid solid cancer
• Cataracts
• Cardiovascular disease
• Mental health and psychological effects
• Reproductive and hereditary effects

12. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO REDUCE
EXPOSURE IN CONTAMINATED AREAS?
• The Soviet and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) authorities introduced a wide
range of short and long term environmental countermeasures to mitigate the accidents
negative consequences
• Decontamination of settlements in contaminated regions.
• Exclusion of contaminated pasture grasses from animal diets and rejection of milk based
on radiation monitoring data.
• Feeding animals with “clean” fodder.
• Application of Cs-binders, such as Prussian blue, to prevent contamination of milk and
meat.

13. LESSONS LEARNED FROM CHERNOBYL
• The scale of the material and the financial losses in mitigating the consequences of the Chernobyl accident
provide compelling evidence of the extremely high price of errors and shortcomings when ensuring the safety
of nuclear power plants.
• The cost of ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities is significantly lower than that of dealing with accident
consequences.
• Hundreds of billions of US dollars’ worth of direct and indirect damages have been reported by Belarus,
Russia and Ukraine as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident over the past 20 years.
• The accident has demonstrated the need to establish and support a high-level national emergency response
system in case of man-made accidents.
