The place of nuclear leakage in Ukraine is called Chernobyl nuclear power plant. 1986 On April 26th, at 1 23 am, the No.4 reactor of Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, all the nuclear reactors were destroyed, and a large amount of radioactive materials leaked, which triggered the most serious nuclear accident in the world. Since then, the Chernobyl area has become a forbidden area for life.

Chernobyl nuclear power plant information

Chernobyl nuclear accident, referred to as Chernobyl accident, is a nuclear reactor accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine under the rule of the former Soviet Union. The accident is considered to be the most serious nuclear power accident in history, and it is also the first catastrophic accident rated as Grade 7 by the international nuclear event scale (the second case is 20 1 1 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan), so the city of Chernobyl was abandoned.

1 in the early morning of April 26th, 986123, the No.4 reactor of Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded near Pripyat, Ukraine. The continuous explosion caused a fire and released a lot of high-energy radioactive materials into the atmosphere. These radioactive dust covered a large area. The total loss of this disaster is about $200 billion. After calculating inflation, this is the most expensive disaster in modern history.

Immediately after the accident, 203 people were sent to hospital for treatment, of which 3 1 person died, and 28 of them died of excessive radiation. Most of the dead were firefighters and medical staff, because they didn't know the danger of radiation in the field, in order to control the spread of nuclear power radiation dust.

The authorities immediately sent people to evacuate 65,438+035,000 people from their homes, of whom about 50,000 were residents of the town of Puri Piater near Chernobyl. Health units predict that in the next 70 years, the proportion of people exposed to 5 to 12 Aybek radiation will increase by 2%, and another 10 people will be exposed to radiation and die of cancer because of this accident.

By 2006, official statistics showed that more than 4,000 people had died since they started working. However, according to the data of the Belarusian National Academy of Sciences, Greenpeace found that in the past 20 years, the total number of victims of the Chernobyl nuclear accident exceeded 90,000, and they could die at any time.

Greenpeace believes that the official death toll is at least 90,000 less than that caused by the Chernobyl nuclear leak, which is 20 times that of the official statistics. Greenpeace's estimate has no theoretical support, with 93,000 deaths, 270,000 cancers and economic losses of 654.38+08 billion rubles.
