KC Holden You think our own country never has, does not, and would not lie and prevaricate in the same way with us? That would be naive of you if you truly feel that way. You think we have had the truth about Three Mile Island? Or any other topic our dear government does not think we would understand or need to know about? Governments are in power to be in power. They are not there to take care of the people beyond the extent that it serves the wealthy and privileged to "take care of" us...to maintain their workforce and keep the money coming in...to THEM.

34 years ago, this day, i remember it i was at my grandma, playing outside in back garden with the chickens A policeman entered the garden, knock on the door, spoke few moments with her Shortly after , she start yellign at me "Get inside, get inside now, god get inside" Later in evening, someone from dispensary came and gave us iodine. We took it, my grandma didn't had a tv so we were listening to the radio, i didn't understood much. Then sirens start howling. Time passed, in 2011 my mother got diagnosed with 2 cancers. Colon and uter. In the block of flats where I am living now, every two floors has at least one person who developed some sort of cancer. 34 years ago....i still remember the smell of air.

I feel like a big part nobody talks about is that the officials who tried to hide the truth showed the leaders that the closed system worked both ways. It didn't just hide the truth at the top from those lower down, but hid the truth lower down from those at the top. But the alternative, glastnost, was something the Soviet state so long corrupted by secrecy could not survive.

As bad as the Chernobyl accident was, it could have been 1000 times worse. After the initial explosion, it was determined that the core could potentially melt through the bottom of the reactor and contact water pooled beneath. They then worked day and night to fill the area under the reactor with cement. Had they not done that, and the core had melted through to the water, a resulting steam explosion could have rendered Europe uninhabitable.

***** it was't gorbachev's fault, anatoly dyatlov was the one man most at fault he kept insisting the reactor was completely fine, even after seeing the gaping hole in the building, and he told the kremlin just that, so they all thought it was fine. he shouldn't be killed for being made ignorant by the actions of others. he should be killed for being a commie though... all commies are scum if you ask me... :/

I think likely the reason is that many of their reactors, especially earlier ones, were fairly low power - 14 of the ones operating in 1986 were less then 700MW (13 were less than 500MW). The RBMK reactors were extremely powerful, in excess of 1GW, but there were only 16 of them operating, the newer VVER designs were also huge, but were only just starting to come online. That, combined with likely incomplete information on the full scope of the Soviet energy industry due to the classified nature of a lot of that, filled in with educated speculation by experts. Incidentally, US electricity was 15.5% from nuclear power in the mid 1980s, with the US having about 63 reactors operating at the time.

This video is interesting because it shows the way that the world was kept in the dark about what happened for months afterwards (until Slavsky and Legasov told the world what they knew in a press conference in Ukraine, not without consequences) and the worlds inability to trust what they had been told.

I met the guy who was first to find out about the matter in the US. He told me a US spy plane was taking pictures over the area and he spotted smoke on one of the pictures, when he zoomed in he had found out what happened.

Didn't officials in the US think that Chernobyl was not a nuclear power plant but a Soviet ICBM instillation and the smoke was the from a launch of a nuclear missile?

So did it end up being true that the containment facility would have made a difference in the Chernobyl accident? Would the damage have been contained to the point where it wasn't a risk to the nearby towns and require a new containment over the reactor?

Mayak accident aka Kyshtym disaster Although it happened in 1957 not in 1958 and there wasnt nuclear explosion, but a tank containing high level liquid radioactive waste exploded at plutonium production plant which then spread radioactive particles into atmosphere similarly to Chernobyl and contaimined wide areas of land and several villages had to be evacuated. It was up until Chernobyl the worst nuclear accident ever but veru few details of it were known (thus inaccurate reporting here) and the full details were revealed only after Soviet Union collapsed. Like with Chernobyl its even today hard to know how many ppl died because of it after but its estimated that atleast some 200 ppl died either because of accute radioation sickness or because of cancer they got later on from this accident. In other words far worse than Fukushima accident and only 2nd to Chernobyl

There were documentaries done about it, one called "Chernobyl Heart" that had to do with the "fallout," so to speak, of the disaster. The effects were mostly felt in, of all places, Belarus. You can find it on KZbin.
