In what still stands as the worst nuclear disaster to take place on this planet, the explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine on April 26 1986 was the catalyst that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union. Poor materials, rushed construction, and a staggering amount of ineptitude regarding the design and operation of the nuclear reactors were the main factors in this shit show we're about to dig into. What exactly happened that night? What kind of impacts are still being dealt with today? How the hell does a nuclear reactor even work? Oh you bet your sweet ass we'll cover it, all you gotta do is press that play button. Sponsor: Mini Museumhttps://shop.minimuseum.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=historicallyhigh

NOTE: IN THE PORTION WHERE I EXPLAIN NUCLEAR FISSION, I MIX UP NUCLEI AND NEUTRON! I realised this post editing but I think it generally makes sense, but when I explain how the nuclei is hit, I say it releases a nuclei, it actually releases a neutron, the neutron then hits the next nuclei and releases more neutrons, that is what forms the chain reaction. Thanks for accepting my mistake :)Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart.

This is a revamped version of a previous episode. I will select a few of my older episodes and remake them with better quality than before! On April 26, 1986, an explosion erupted the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine when the number four reactor, after a routine test, suddenly dropped power to near zero before overloading. Built up steam blew the 1,000 ton reactor lid through the roof, exposing a 700 mile radius to 400 times more radiation than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Two workers were killed in the initial explosion, while 29 others would die in the days and weeks following, mostly firefighters who were unaware of the exposure. The nearby town of Pripyat was evacuated three days later. The roughly 50,000 residents were told the move was temporary. They never returned. The cleanup efforts were costly and long, with many workers being exposed to high amounts of radiation. After almost a year, a steel sarcophagus was placed over the reactor to contain the radiation. In 2016, a dome like concrete sarcophagus was built over the reactor and old protection that will last 100 years. At the time of the explosion, the Soviet government did everything to conceal the event. Even the manager of the test that lead to the explosion threatened his workers and said that no explosion actually occurred. It wasn't until other European countries noticed the high levels of radiation, when the Soviet Union admitted to the world what had happened. The Soviet government continued to lie to its citizens in the surrounding area of the power plan and said they were fine. Since 1986, over 100,000 deaths are attributed to the explosion. The official death toll remains at 31 according to Soviet records. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone won't be livable for another 24,000 years. the soil, plants, water and animals are highly contaminated, although animals a seemed to adapted to the radiation and appear fine.

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Chernobyl Disaster. This was an incident that occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine where a test went disastrously wrong and resulted in a radioactive explosion. Two people would die as a direct result of the explosion with nearly thirty more people dying over the course of the next few months due to exposure to the radiation. What is particularly devastating about this incident in History was the lack of transparency and the cover-up attempt on the part of the Soviet Union. This would lead to radioactive contamination throughout the Soviet Union and Western Europe for some ten days following the explosion. It is now estimated that upwards of 125,000 people died as a result of Chernobyl, having been exposed to radiation at levels nearly 400 times greater than those of the Hiroshima bombing. Chernobyl is considered to be the worst nuclear disaster in History. Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.

The April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine was the product of a flawed Soviet reactor design coupled with serious mistakes made by the plant operators. The accident caused the largest uncontrolled radioactive release into the environment ever recorded for any civilian operation, and large quantities of radioactive substances were released into the air for about 10 days. This accident affected many lives and changed how the world deals with nuclear material, even now. Listen now to hear this story and maybe learn new facts about one of history's most infamous man-made disasters.
