The Chernobyl nuclear disaster - part II
A Russian publication concluded that 985,000 excess cancer deaths occurred between 1986 and 2004 as a result of radioactive contamination. In general, a huge discrepancy among the estimates exists largely due to the geographical range of the accident and a large number of health problems caused. The highest radiation doses affected people responding immediatly after the explosion such as army, police and fireman. Evacuation and relocation of the nearby civil population was a traumatic experience for most since it meant they could never return to their homes. For many there was a social stigma associated with being an "exposed person". Read more about the radioactive effects here... Warning, some of the images are very graphic!

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant had four working reactors. The incident happened on April 26, 1986, when operators of the power plant ran a test on an electric control system at the reactor number four. There was a sudden power output surge which prompted an attempt of emergency shutdown. A reactor vessel ruptured and a series of explosions followed. The disastrous sequence of events destroyed the Chernobyl 4 reactor, killing 30 operators and firemen within three months and several further deaths later. The resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive smoke into the atmosphere spreading over large parts of the western Soviet Union and Europe. It is considered as one of two worst nuclear crisis in history, classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. Find out more about the Chernobyl disaster...
