- W632405218 abstract "This chapter illustrates accident at Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union on April 25–26, 1986, where a planned experiment had gone bad and created a reactor core explosion that sent a huge radioactive cloud into the atmosphere. Thirty-one people died from immediate radiation poisoning, 130,000 residents were evacuated, and radiation effects were felt across most of Europe and beyond. The long-term human health effects of radiation exposure are now being realized, and a large area around the plant site remains off limits to human habitation. Many believe that this event was the catalyst to ending the Cold War. Furthermore, it was evaluated that aspects of poor design of the Chernobyl reactors elevated the risk of a major nuclear accident. Arguably, the most significant of these was the use of a graphite moderator. The design allowed the fission process to spiral out of control once steam started forming in the cooling loop, reducing the flow of coolant into the core. Moreover, Chernobyl was also plagued by an inability to follow standard operating practices. Plant workers appeared to employ ad hoc procedures in a desperate attempt to regain control of the reactor." @default.
