The radioactive substances that were released into the air in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident were carried by air currents over Finland in about a day. However, these air masses were so high that high radiation concentrations could not be immediately detected from the ground. If you want to know how the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident happened, I have covered it in the first part of the video series: • Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster 198... There was a lot of delay in informing about the Chernobyl accident, and the Soviet Union was not immediately ready to admit that how serious an accident had happened in the first place. There was also a delay in evacuating the areas near the accident site, which caused considerable radiation doses to the locals. The workers and soldiers assigned to repair and clean-up work at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were also not effectively protected. Some toiled in the contaminated area in ordinary clothes. Protective masks were hardly ever seen. In total, during 1986, more than half a million people participated in the clean-up of Chernobyl. After the accident, a concrete protective shell was built over the reactor, which was completed in November 1986. In July 1987, a trial was held. The accused were the manager of the power plant, four other operating personnel and an inspector who represented the State Nuclear Power Safety Committee at the power plant. They were sentenced to 2-10 years in prison. Well, how many people died in the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the resulting radiation. It is impossible to find an exact answer to this question and the estimates of different parties differ a lot. In connection with the explosion of the Nuclear Power Plant itself, only one person died. In addition to this, another person died of burns. The Russian Academy of Sciences has announced that a total of 210,000 people died in the disaster. Greenpeace estimates the number of deaths at 93,000. On the other hand, the WHO Chernobyl report from 2006 states that 134 people were diagnosed with acute radiation sickness (ARS). Of these, 28 died in 1986 and 19 between 1987 and 2004. After the accident, a total of 61,000 rescue workers' illnesses have been investigated. Between 1991 and 1995, a total of 4,995 deaths from various causes were found in this group, and of this number, 4.6% could be linked directly or indirectly to radiation. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been in the news again in 2022. In the very first days of the war, Russian troops occupied the Chernobyl nuclear power plant area and took the plant's workers hostage. Ukraine's nuclear authorities announced the day after the attack began that Chernobyl's radiation level had increased. This was due to heavy military vehicles driving in the area.
