The Chernobyl Disaster

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power

Plant Explosion

1
The great disaster of soviet union,
1986.

 In 1986 April 26 @ Soviet Union,

there was a great radiation
explosion

 Due to collapse in the core of the

reactor.

The beautiful city of Ukraine USSR
 Pripyat, Chernobyl, Ukrainian SSR

 Pripyat was a city which is a normal city

as others.

 but in later
period the
whole city was
been created
for those
workers,
Laborers,
Labors,
Engineers,
Scientists of
Chernobyl
Nuclear Power
Plant.

Cold war between the Soviet union and America

 In the later 1900’s there was a cold war

between America and the Soviet Union

 Both the countries were made many

inventions and to prove as their country is
number one.

 The Great Disaster

 On 26th April 1986, At 01:23:40

(UTC+04:00) the great and the worst
radiation had occurred

 It is considered to be the most

dangerous and worst radiation
explosion ever.

 The Soviet Government had

been started the evacuation
process of people after 24
hrs.
 About 50,000
people(approx.) are
evacuated from Pripyat.

 What happened
The Reason for the RADIATION EXPLOSION is:
 There are 4 reactors in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the 4th
reactor was built in 1983 with cheaper materials as to make the
faster.
 In 1986 The 4th reactor @ Chernobyl nuclear power plant in USSR
explodes, killing 31 with radioactive contamination reaching much
of Western Europe. In the hours, after the disaster, dozens of people
began to fall ill, the town was not evacuated immediately by Soviet
authorities.
 The disaster has been widely regarded as the worst accident in
the history of nuclear power.
 And this incident has been ranked at 7, (major accident) by the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

The Bridge of Death

 On the Radiation Explosion, some of them

were sleeping as it is midnight.

 But some of them, flocked to this Bridge and

watched in awe as the multi- colored flames
burning from reactor 4 grew higher.

 Thus every people on this bridge died due to

fatal doses of Radiation. This is why the
bridge got the name “The Bridge Of Death”

7
 The Bio Robot
 After the explosion, the humans are
unable to stay there because the radiation
is already airborne since exploded.

 So the Soviet Government created a Bio

Robot called “JOKER” . It’s main purpose
to remove the rubbishes around the
nuclear plant.

 Some of the men also risked their life to

make the robot’s work easier

 But unfortunately, The robot had failed to

accomplish its mission as it became to
malfunction due to the high level of
radiation in the air.

 The Workers Dedication and Sacrifice

 After the explosion, several

works risked their life for
cooling down the melt down by
spraying the some chemicals
and for decontaminating the
radio activity around the area.

The known amusement park in Pripyat

 The Pripyat City is also known for it’s

Amusement Park other than the Chernobyl
Nuclear Power Plant.
 But due to the evacuation, since 35years of
explosion so the nature had conquered the
place . It seems like a haunted and a scary
place. 11
 Radiation warning
 It is been 35 years till
now there is the presence
of radio active materials
in the air with safe level

 In this picture we can see

the symbol which
indicates that the area is
in high level of radio
active materials
“RADIATION WARNING”
 The Ukrainian
Government had been
Officially announced as,
“NUCLEAR DISASTER
EXCLUSIVE ZONE” around
the site of the Chernobyl
Nuclear Reactor disaster
