Às 01:23 da madrugada de 26 de abril de 1986, em uma sala de controle repleta de luzes piscantes, o operador sênior do terceiro turno da usina nuclear de Chernobyl, Leonid Toptunov aperta o botão AZ-5 comandando o desligamento do reator. Era um procedimento padrão, um simples ato de rotina após um teste de turbina. Mas, naquele instante, a máquina deu sua resposta. O que deveria ser um silêncio veio como um rugido. O medidor de potência, em vez de cair, disparou como um coração em parada cardíaca: 500 MW… 1000 MW… 10.000 MW… Números que não deveriam existir. Um estalo metálico. O chão tremeu como um terremoto localizado. As luzes piscaram, apagaram, depois voltaram, banhando a sala em um clarão fantasmagórico. O maior acidente nuclear da história havia começado. Mas, na verdade, ele já estava escrito. Escrito anos antes, por mãos que ignoraram alertas, por decisões que priorizaram o poder sobre a segurança, por uma arrogância tecnológica que acreditava ter domado o átomo. Neste episódio, nós não vamos contar apenas o que aconteceu. Nós vamos mergulhar no porquê isso estava fadado a acontecer. Como a União Soviética construiu um monstro chamado RBMK – um reator tão grande quanto um prédio, tão potente quanto perigoso. Quem eram os gênios que o conceberam, e quem eram os cientistas que tentaram, em vão, alertar sobre seus defeitos mortais. E como, em poucas horas, a explosão em Chernobyl deixou de ser um simples desastre de engenharia… e se tornou a detonação política que abalaria todo o mundo. Esta é a história não contada dos bastidores da catástrofe. A história do reator que nasceu para ser a epítome da engenharia soviética, e que finalmente se voltou contra seus criadores.

Il est 1h23 et 44 secondes, ce 26 avril 1986. Nous sommes sur le site de la centrale nucléaire de Tchernobyl, en Ukraine. Il y a juste une seconde, Aleksandr Akimov et son équipe de surveillance ont déclenché une catastrophe sans précédent dans l'Histoire. Le réacteur RBMK numéro 4 vient d'exploser, soumis à une puissance 100 fois supérieure à ce qu'il peut tolérer. Les 2 000 tonnes de la dalle de béton recouvrant l'immense cœur du réacteur sont projetées en l'air, comme si c'étaient des plumes. Les fragments retombent lourdement de biais, s'écrasant sur le cœur. Ce dernier, sous le choc de l'impact, se fracture. C'est une catastrophe absolue qui se déclare.

40 years ago at 1:23 a.m. on April 26, 1986, a routine safety test inside Reactor Four at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant spiralled into the worst nuclear disaster in history. This episode traces the catastrophe from the control room, where exhausted operators struggled with an unstable reactor they did not fully understand, to the streets of Pripyat, where thousands of residents woke the next morning unaware that radioactive contamination had already settled around them. Through a dramatic, chronological account, I examine the fatal combination of human pressure, flawed reactor design, secrecy, and delayed decision-making that turned a technical failure into a global crisis. The story follows the night shift, the firefighters who rushed toward a blaze they believed was ordinary, the officials in Moscow who hesitated to tell the truth, and the liquidators who later entered lethal zones to contain what could not be undone. This is not only the story of an explosion. It is the story of a system built on certainty, silence, and control, confronted by a disaster that defied all three. From the hidden flaws of the RBMK reactor to the evacuation of Pripyat, the construction of the sarcophagus, and the long shadow left across Europe, Chornobyl remains a warning about technology, power, and the cost of withholding truth.

El 26 de abril de 1986, el mundo presenció uno de los peores desastres nucleares de la historia: la explosión del reactor número 4 de la central nuclear de Chernóbil, en la entonces Unión Soviética (actual Ucrania). Cuatro décadas después, las consecuencias de aquel accidente siguen siendo visibles, y su relato sigue siendo un recordatorio de los riesgos de la energía nuclear cuando se priorizan la improvisación y la falta de seguridad. Para entender qué salió mal, hablamos con Alfredo García, supervisor y divulgador nuclear, quien explicó en detalle los errores que llevaron a la catástrofe. La noche del accidente, los responsables de la central decidieron realizar una prueba de seguridad para evaluar si el reactor podía auto refrigerarse en caso de un apagón eléctrico. La idea era comprobar si, tras una desconexión de la red, la inercia de la turbina podía generar suficiente electricidad para mantener las bombas de refrigeración en funcionamiento hasta que arrancaran los generadores diésel de emergencia. Sin embargo, la prueba se llevó a cabo en condiciones inadecuadas recuerda. Se bloquearon sistemas de seguridad para realizar la prueba, una decisión que violaba los protocolos. Además los supervisores no estaban bien formados, lo que aumentó el riesgo de errores. “Lo hicieron además en unas condiciones malas desde el punto de vista de la red, porque la red no estaba en ese momento en condiciones de permitir que parara el reactor”, añade Alfredo García, supervisor y divulgador nuclear. El reactor número 4 de Chernóbil, aunque relativamente nuevo (solo llevaba dos años en funcionamiento), tenía un diseño de los años 60. Este tipo de reactores, conocidos como RBMK, fueron creados originalmente para producir plutonio con fines militares, y la generación de electricidad era solo un subproducto. Una de sus mayores deficiencias era la falta de un edificio de contención, una estructura de hormigón y acero diseñada para evitar fugas radiactivas en caso de accidente. Todos los reactores modernos cuentan con esta protección, pero Chernóbil carecía de ella. “La prueba salió muy mal” Durante la prueba, el reactor experimentó lo que los expertos llaman una "excursión de potencia": la energía generada se multiplicó al menos por diez en cuestión de segundos. Esto provocó un aumento brutal de la temperatura en el combustible nuclear, generando una explosión de vapor. “Esa explosión física lo que hizo fue romper la tapa a la parte superior del reactor, y como esa central nuclear no tenía un edificio de contención, como tienen todos los reactores actuales, se produjo una emisión radiactiva al exterior”, puntualiza el experto García.

In den frühen Morgenstunden des 26. April 1986 explodiert im Atomkraftwerk Tschernobyl in der Ukraine Reaktor Nummer vier. Eine grosse Menge Radioaktivität wird freigesetzt; es ist der bis dahin grösste und schwerste Unfall in der Geschichte der zivilen Atomindustrie. Wie konnte es so weit kommen? In den 1970er und 1980er Jahren gehört die Atomindustrie zu den Prestigeindustrien in der Sowjetunion. Die zivile Kernenergie gilt als sauber und als fortschrittlicher als andere Energieformen, etwa die Kohle. Der Glaube an die Technik ist in jener Zeit gross, der Hunger nach Energie ebenfalls. Der Stolz der sowjetischen Atomindustrie ist der RBMK-1000-Reaktor – der «National-Reaktor», eine Eigenentwicklung der UdSSR. Er wird gefeiert und gar besungen. Doch hinter der hochgelobten Fassade gibt es immer wieder Probleme. ____________________ In Episode 1/3 zu hören: - Anna Veronika Wendland, Osteuropa- und Technikhistorikerin.

This week on History's Greatest Idiots (featuring Patreon member Ben Markwart), we explore the Chernobyl nuclear disaster: the catastrophic 1986 explosion that killed dozens, displaced 350,000 people, cost 700 billion dollars, and helped collapse the Soviet Union.The Safety Test That Wasn't Very SafeOn 26th April 1986 at 1:23 AM, Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded during a safety test. Engineers disabled the emergency core cooling system, ran the RBMK reactor at just 7% power (unstable below 20%), and withdrew most control rods. Within seconds, power surged to over 100 times normal output. Two explosions blew the 2,000 ton reactor lid off and ignited the graphite moderator, which burned for nine days, releasing massive radioactive contamination across Europe.The RBMK Reactor DesignThe Soviet RBMK reactor had catastrophic design flaws operators weren't informed about. It featured a positive void coefficient (coolant loss increased power), control rods with graphite tips that briefly increased reactivity when inserted, and no Western-style containment building. Deputy Chief Engineer Anatoly Diatlov, in charge during the accident, genuinely believed the reactor was safe.The Cover-up and Sweden's DiscoveryFor 36 hours, Soviet officials said nothing whilst Pripyat's 50,000 residents went about their normal lives at radiation levels 600,000 times background levels. On 28th April, radiation alarms triggered at Sweden's Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant, over 1,000 kilometres away. Only after Swedish authorities announced a Soviet nuclear accident did the USSR reluctantly admit to Chernobyl. Gorbachev didn't issue a statement until 14th May, 18 days later, calling it a "misfortune" and attacking Western media as spreading "malicious lies."The LiquidatorsFirst responders weren't told they were confronting an exposed reactor core. Firefighters handled radioactive graphite with ordinary equipment. 28 died within four months from acute radiation syndrome. Firefighter Vasily Ignatenko, aged 25, received 1,300 rem and died on 13th May 1986. About 600,000 liquidators cleaned up the site. Called "bio-robots," they shovelled radioactive debris from the roof in 40-second shifts because robots were destroyed by radiation. At least 1,800 children developed thyroid cancer from radioactive iodine-131.How Chernobyl Collapsed the Soviet UnionGorbachev later stated Chernobyl was "perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union," more than perestroika, glasnost, Afghanistan, or the Berlin Wall. The disaster shattered public trust, contradicting glasnost's promise of openness. Combined with Afghanistan casualties (15,000 troops), economic stagnation (2.6% GDP growth), and military spending (16% of GNP), Chernobyl's 18 billion rouble cost broke the system. The Berlin Wall fell in November 1989. The USSR dissolved in December 1991, less than six years after Chernobyl.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Cześć! Dziś mija dokładnie 39 lat od katastrofy w Czarnobylu – wydarzenia, które na zawsze odmieniło świat. W wyniku błędów operatorów, wad konstrukcyjnych reaktora RBMK oraz systemowych zaniedbań w ZSRR doszło do jednej z największych katastrof XX wieku. Bezpośrednio zginęło 31 osób, a tysiące kolejnych ucierpiało z powodu promieniowania. ​W najnowszym odcinku przyglądam się Czarnobylowi z szerszej perspektywy. Opowiadam o życiu mieszkańców tego regionu w XX wieku. Dlaczego Moskwa zdecydowała się właśnie tam zbudować elektrownie? Jak powstało modelowe miasto socjalizmu Prypeć w której zamieszkali pracownicy elektrowni. Zastanawiam się również, jak wyglądało ich codzienne życie przed i po awarii, a także jak zareagowały na tę sytuację władze.​

Eigentlich war alles Routine. In der Nachtschicht des 26. April 1986 steht im sowjetischen Vorzeigekernkraftwerk Tschernobyl ein Test auf dem Programm. Aber der gerät völlig außer Kontrolle. Block 4 wird samt Reaktor komplett zerstört. Etwas, dass es so auf der Welt noch nie gegeben hat. Der Reaktor - ein RBMK - kann eine launische Diva sein. Erfahrung ist gefragt, "eine Kunst", sagt Expertin Dr. Anna Veronika Wendland. In dieser Nacht hat unter anderem Leonid Toptonov Schicht, ihm fehlt diese Erfahrung. Aber nicht Toptonov drückt den verhängnisvollen Knopf AZ-5…

Have you heard of Chernobyl? Many haven't, at least not today, but is site to one of the most devastating nuclear disasters to happen in human history. In 1986 an RBMK nuclear reactor exploded exposing most of the Soviet Union to 400 times the radiation of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima. With an exclusion zone expanding 1,000 miles; Chernobyl will remain uninhabitable and radioactive for another 20,000 years.Dive down this rabbit hole as Alicia shares her new fascination with co-host, Sarah, and the two discuss the extreme toll it took on the people, the economy, an attempted cover up and perhaps even the true reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union."What is the cost of lies" - Valery LegasovThis episode is dedicated to all who sacrificed and served to save so many.Watch the docuseries Chernobyl on HBOMax Support the show

The Chernobyl, Russia nuclear disaster was the worst nuclear disaster in history and occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor Plant. A catastrophic eruption ripped through the power plant on April 26, 1986, spewing radioactive particles into the sky. The deadly blast was caused by the explosion of the RBMK reactor number 4, a result of human error and faulty equipment. More than 50,000 people from the nearby town of Pripyat were evacuated following the blast. But plumes of deadly radioactive matter were sent high into the atmosphere as the uranium core lay exposed in the days that followed. The particles were swept across Europe by winds. Officials in Sweden, almost 700 miles away were alerted of radiation levels within their atmosphere within 48 hours of the explosion. Soviet authorities initially denied the claims anything happened but were forced to reveal the mistake as the scale of the accident unfolded. The initial impacted areas were Ukraine, Belarus and western Russia, with some areas contaminated indefinitely and to this day are still wastelands. The World Nuclear Association said: “Most of the released material was deposited close by as dust and debris, but the lighter material was carried by the wind over Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and to some extent over Scandinavia and Europe. ”The weather was a big factor as rains and snow were responsible for bringing radiation down to the ground, where it would penetrate into the Earth. The World Health Organization says an estimated 7,722 square miles of land in Europe was affected by radiation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We've been talking about why a real brand can't be invented out of thin air or tailored specifically to meet a certain market demand. Remarkable brands are built from the inside out. If you find this article helpful be sure to catch our first article here and our second here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ4tXHUqxmI Taking shortcuts and sidestepping integrity can only take you so far. Whether it's creating an online presence for your B2B, fine-tuning a management philosophy, or even sticking to a diet and workout routine, going against reality is not a good long term strategy for success. In the TV miniseries ‘Chernobyl,' a lone scientist named Valery Legasov fights to understand why and how an RBMK nuclear reactor, a design deemed indestructible by the Soviet Union, exploded like an atomic bomb. Finding himself testifying before a grand central committee and all his colleagues, Legasov does the unthinkable—he tells the truth of how the Soviet State hid a known design flaw in the reactor. Knowing he's a dead man, Legasov goes further. He calls out the whole social and political culture of his country, a system built mostly on lies, shortcuts, bribery, and nepotism. Before he's taken away, he takes a parting shot: "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all." It's a sound warning—and one that B2B services should take to heart.   Avoiding the pitfalls While short-circuiting your brand identity probably won't (in most cases), cause a nuclear meltdown, there are real, long-term consequences to plowing ahead without knowing what you're really about. In previous articles, we've covered the signs, science, and pitfalls of arbitrary branding. Arbitrary branding—a brand identity, presence, and expression that's outdated, neglected, picked at random, invented ad hoc, or outright copied—means selling yourself and your clients short. Ultimately, it's making promises you won't be able to keep; it's presenting an image that doesn't reflect your core identity, and it's offering what you're not able to deliver. In the end (and even in the short term) arbitrary branding makes impressions that no B2B wants to make. It runs the risk of making others think you are being: -Pretentious -Random -Deceptive -False Of course, many companies that fall into artificial branding don't fall into these categories on purpose. Time shortages, competition, and other conflicts can force companies to put something together at the drop of a hat, or to stick with something simply because some forgotten individual made the decision eons ago. We grant that poor, rushed branding decisions can be driven by doubt, skepticism, or frustration with the creative process. But whatever the reason, artificial branding means doing yourself a huge disservice. The hard, messy work of discovery and of telling the truth is what wins out—and pays off—in the end. “It is always simple to fall; there are an infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands.”  - G.K. Chesterton   Going with truthfulness As G.K. Chesterton points out, there's only one way of doing things right. Truthfulness is at the heart of authentic, effective, and winsome branding. While getting there can be tough, going with truth from the very start means you'll be able to communicate it downstream, in all the avenues where your organization presents itself. As we've discussed, an organization can't spontaneously invent its core purpose as a company, make random choices about how it expresses itself as a brand, or create relationships with its customers out of nothing. While improvisation can be a great tool for discovering a brand's story, improvisation is not a good navigator for trying to reach the destination of genuine branding. A real brand's story can never simply be dreamt up.

On 26 April 1986, one of the reactors at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded after unsanctioned experiments on the reactor by plant operators were done improperly. The resulting loss of control was due to design flaws of the RBMK reactor, which made it unstable when operated at low power, and prone to thermal runaway where increases in temperature increase reactor power output.[24][25] Chernobyl city was evacuated nine days after the disaster. The level of contamination with caesium-137 was around 555 kBq/m2 (surface ground deposition in 1986).[26][27] Later analyses concluded that, even with very conservative estimates, relocation of the city (or of any area below 1500 kBq/m2) could not be justified on the grounds of radiological health.[28][29][30] This however does not account for the uncertainty in the first few days of the accident about further depositions and weather patterns. Moreover, an earlier short-term evacuation could have averted more significant doses from short-lived isotope radiation (specifically iodine-131, which has a half-life of about eight days). Estimates of health effects are a subject of some controversy, see Effects of the Chernobyl disaster.

On the night of April 26, 1986, a routine test at the RBMK #4 reactor in Chernobyl, Ukraine, went badly wrong: in a fatal convergence of bad design and operator error, the reactor core overheated and exploded, scattering radioactive debris into the sky, from where it eventually spread over most of Europe. *This episode originally aired on April 26, 2006.

Chernobyl é o pior acidente nuclear da história em termos de custos e de mortes, além de ser um dos dois únicos classificados como um evento de nível 7, na Escala Internacional de Acidentes Nucleares. A cidade foi fundada em 1193 e seu nome é a junção de duas palavras, em eslavo que significa grama ou folha preta. Sua localização fica ao norte da Ucrânia, perto da fronteira com a Bielorrússia e a cerca de 130 quilômetros da capital e maior cidade da Ucrânia, Kiev, que também é considerada uma das cidades mais antigas da Europa. Nos dias 25 e 26 de abril de 1986, um dos reatores da usina nuclear explodiu e pegou fogo na região, causando o pior acidente nuclear da história. A região era conhecida por um grande investimento na energia nuclear depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial com seus reatores RBMK. Por conta disso, o desastre se tornou um marco da Guerra Fria e da história da energia nuclear. Mais de 30 anos depois, cientistas estimam que a área ao redor da antiga usina continuará inabitável por até 20 mil anos. Neste programa, nossos investigadores Andrei Fernandes, Lucas Balaminut, Tupá Guerra, Hell e Jey se perguntam: como Chernobyl virou um lugar completamente inabitado e assim seguirá por muitos anos?

El accidente de Chernóbil fue una combinación de un mal diseño de la central nuclear, que además no disponía de un recinto de contención, junto con los errores producidos por los operadores de la misma, dejando fuera de servicio voluntariamente varios sistemas de seguridad con el fin de realizar un experimento, en el marco de un sistema en el que el entrenamiento era escaso, y en el que no existía un organismo regulador independiente. La Unión Soviética no tenía un sistema independiente de inspección y evaluación de la seguridad de las instalaciones nucleares, es decir, un organismo regulador, como en los países occidentales. El diseño de un reactor del tipo RBMK no hubiera sido nunca autorizado en los países occidentales. De hecho, nunca se ha construido un reactor de este diseño fuera de la antigua Unión Soviética. Las prácticas operativas de los reactores soviéticos no eran homologables a las de los países occidentales. En éstos, no hubieran sido nunca permitidas.

Chernobyl 2019 ‧ Historical period drama ‧ 1 season In April 1986, the city of Chernobyl in the Soviet Union suffers one of the worst nuclear disasters in the history of mankind. Consequently, many heroes put their lives on the line to save Europe. No. of episodes: 5 The #Chernobyldisaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on Saturday 26 April 1986, at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the #Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR.[1][2] It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history and is one of only two nuclear energy disasters rated at seven—the maximum severity—on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the other being the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan. The accident started during a safety test on an RBMK-type nuclear reactor, which was commonly used throughout the Soviet Union. The test was a simulation of an electrical power outage to aid the development of a safety procedure for maintaining cooling water circulation until the back-up generators could provide power – there is a time gap between the moment of power outage and the moment at which the back-up generators reach full power. This operating gap was about one minute and had been identified as a potential safety problem that could cause the nuclear reactor core to overheat. Three such tests had been conducted since 1982, but they had failed to provide a solution. On this fourth attempt, the test was delayed by 10 hours, so an unprepared operating shift had to perform it.[3] During a gradual decrease of reactor power that was done in preparation for the test, the power unexpectedly dropped to a near-zero level at one moment. The operators were able to partially restore power, but this put the reactor in a highly unstable condition. The risks were not made evident in the operating instructions, despite a similar accident occurring years before, and the test proceeded even though the power was still lower than prescribed. Upon test completion, the operators triggered a reactor shutdown, but a combination of unstable conditions and reactor design flaws caused an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction instead.[4]:33 A large amount of energy was suddenly released, vapourising superheated cooling water and rupturing the reactor core in a highly destructive steam explosion. This was immediately followed by an open-air reactor core fire that released considerable airborne radioactive contamination for about nine days that precipitated onto parts of the USSR and western Europe, before being finally contained on 4 May 1986.[5][6] The fire gradually released about the same amount of contamination as the initial explosion.[7] As a result of rising ambient radiation levels off-site, a 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) radius exclusion zone was created 36 hours after the accident. About 49,000 people were evacuated from the area, primarily from Pripyat. The exclusion zone was later increased to 30 kilometres (19 mi) radius when a further 68,000 people were evacuated from the wider area.[8][8] --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

In questa puntata speciale torniamo indietro al 26 aprile 1986, ci spostiamo alla Centrale Nucleare di Chernobyl e nella vicina città di Pripyat per parlare dell’evento che ha segnato la vita di molte persone.Prendendo spunto dalla miniserie della HBO, Simone, Marco e Giorgio spiegano, innanzitutto, come è fatta una centrale nucleare e in particolare un reattore RBMK, dello stesso tipo di quello distrutto a Chernobyl. Dopo aver indagato le cause dell’incidente, si esce dalla centrale per parlare degli effetti a breve termine delle radiazioni ricevute dai soccorritori e dalla popolazione più vicina. Trattiamo poi gli effetti a lungo termine che hanno colpito un numero maggiore di persone, anche se sono quelli più difficili da stimare con certezza.È naturale fare un parallelismo con quanto successo a Fukushima, quindi Marco ci parla dell’incidente accaduto nel marzo 2011 e di quanto sia tecnicamente diverso da quello di Chernobyl, ma di come abbia avuto conseguenze simili negli aspetti umani del disastro.Infine, dopo aver parlato delle incongruenze storiche e tecniche presenti nella serie e aver tirato le fila del discorso, in studio ci si domanda se quello che è successo in passato a Chernobyl non possa essere una metafora per un disastro umano più lento ma non meno devastante che stiamo vivendo oggi.Per approfondire:Focus IAEA sugli effetti - https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/focus/chernobylFlora e fauna a Chernobyl - https://www.scientificast.it/la-strana-riserva-naturale-chernobyl/Fukushima e l’acqua radioattiva finita in mare - https://www.scientificast.it/fukushima-tonni-radioattivi-apocalissi-che-manco-pacific-rim/

Hot on the heels of (read: one month after) the series finale of Game of Thrones, the Boyfriends dish on Season 8's biggest questions: Who won the game of thrones? Who had the most satisfying character arc, and who had the least? Is the RBMK reactor design still fatally flawed?

In this episode, we figured out how an RBMK reactor explodes by watching the hit HBO show Chernobyl. What caused the nuclear power plant disaster? How did the Soviet leadership and the Russian people respond to the crisis? If vodka is really such a powerful medicinal wonder, can it be covered by your health care insurance?

Ferdselen med reaktordrevne fartøy langs norskekysten er sterkt økende og en ulykke med et slikt fartøy kan gi radioaktive utslipp som rammer Norge. Sannsynligheten for terroraksjoner har også økt. Dersom det blir et utslipp av radioaktivt jod, kan jodtabletter være ett av de beskyttende tiltak som myndighetene anbefaler. https://www.dsa.no/nyheter/94417/du-boer-ha-jodtabletter-hjemme Klip Vi brugte klip fra ekstra TV-Avis om atomulykken i Tjernobyl - 28. april 1986.
