Chernobyl: 20 Years Later

1986: The year of the accident ► 26 April 1986, 1:23:00: A test of the cooling system begins in unit no. 4 of the Chernobyl power plant ► 26 April 1986, 1:23:40: The emergency shutdown fails. ► 26 April 1986, 1:23:44: The reactor in unit no. 4 runs out of control and explodes.

Why? ► Design flaws  Lack of containment shell  Positive void coefficient  Graphite moderator ► Dangerous experiment

Immediate Soviet Reaction ► Unprepared officials at a local and national level exacerbated the problem ► Firefighters who went to put out the graphite fire were not told of lethal radiation levels ► Eventually the government acknowledged the disaster and ordered the evacuation of nearby Pripyat

The Sarcophagus ► A hastily-built concrete and steel structure ► Placed around the remains of Reactor 4 ► Shoddy construction; extremely unstable ► Plans are underway for a new, more permanent building

26 April to 4 May 1986: ► Most of the radiation was released in the first ten days. ► At first, northerly and northwesterly winds predominated. At the end of April the wind switched to the south and southeast. There were frequent but local showers. ► This resulted in a very varied regional and local distribution of the radiation.

Health and Physiological Consequences ► Increase in thyroid cancer ► Increase in other types of cancer ► Chronic Illness

Psychological Consequences ► Anxiety ► Depression ► Helplessness and despair leading to social withdrawal and loss of hope for the future. ► Other disorders attributable to mental stress
