This general downfall of Soviet technology, the reasons for which can be discussed extensively and for a long time, it was simultaneously the beginning of Chernobyl. They were responsible for providing all needed materials, living provisions; they played a vital role. But from the contents of the telegrams, it was apparent that all this was, you know, people dreaming up things, same as we were doing here. me that the team has been determined in advance by the appropriate orders, which, depending on the type of accident, should immediately meet, or remain on, the seats, direct personnel actions at the, team was assembled at night and flew to the scene about three to four hours, reactor, and it was the reactor of the 4th unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power, plant, is in general controlled. Moreover, the measures that can be taken to prevent this from happening are known. The station personnel was also surprising in a way. But at 11 am, it was already fully official. And later it turned out that we knew very little about them. The most contaminated areas had either been cleared or concreted for the builders to begin their work on the sarcophagus construction. But, since the world understands that maximally does not mean 100 per cent and that there is always a chance of a technical component failing, even the most reliable one, or of a person doing something, by malice or ignorance or by accident, the third element is introduced. The operators made mistakes because they had to complete the experiment which they considered a matter of honour. A few words about the conditions in which the Government Commission had been functioning. On April 26th, 1986, a nuclear explosion at the Chernobyl power plant rocked the area near the Ukrainian town of Pripyat, spreading giant clouds of radioactive material across 77,000 square miles of land. The graphite started burning, Adamovich: [Inaudible] judging by these notes that I, Legasov: The graphite started burning around the 26th or 27th, Adamovich: No, hold on. A. Ustynyuk said of Legasov: "His main quality, which set him sharply apart from all the great organizing scientists I knew, was his exceptional dedication to the cause. Thanks to the arrival of comrade Voronin, the overall scheme of work management had started to form. We arrived at Kiev. This decision was never implemented, but such words were said. But then we did one thing. This design had to be done concurrently at the site and in the different design organizations located in cities across the Soviet Union, mainly in Moscow and Leningrad. At least not at the age that I currently am, just into my fifties. It was scary to see such a situation. Then a few words need to be said about the concepts for the sarcophagus construction. But what are they doing? It melts and has high volatilization [sic] of saturated vapours. Around 11 a.m. on the 26th of April, Boris Evdokimovich [Scherbina], after considering all our recommendations, decided to go ahead with the mandatory evacuation. The questions of international inspections, quality checks of constructed facilities, etc, to create this international procedure it is necessary to express this desire and this, in my opinion, would be right. There was a problem of prolonged separation from families, working in unusual conditions. This increase in the number of people required new ways of organizing work because it was no longer possible to personally give specific instructions and be done with it. But the Institute is huge. [38], His wife Margarita wrote a considerable number of articles and books to preserve his legacy. Watch all. Adamovich: [PART OF AN UNINTELLIGIBLE PHRASE] I understand that it is useless to write. [1] After the meeting, Scherbina told him that he could work from Moscow but was quickly ordered back to Chernobyl. Now the investigation, additional investigation is underway and, I think, will probably judge the designers of the RBMK reactorat least they should be judged in my opinionwho made at least three grave mistakes in the design of this reactor. And naturally, to find out how to access various rooms, everyone turned to him, either to his drawings or simply to his memory, to his experience. There are questions like why was it announced so late? This wasnt a leader that led us, it was a leader that was just making ends meet, getting money, sending information up to the levels above, sending people to launches or acceptances. But fortunately, during the entire period of work, and to this day, all the diagnostic wells have shown that the groundwater has always been clean, and the service wells have never been used. And this part is tragic, confusing and incomprehensible. But the main thing, and I keep coming back to this, the main crime committed was allowing a criminal philosophy into the Soviet nuclear energy, allowing stations, of any type, VVER or RBMK, to be built without containments. Yurchenko Yury Fedorovich was the director of this organization. In case the Dniepers water became contaminated above the permissible concentrations, the city could be supplied using alternate sources of water. [1], The conference was a public relations triumph for the Soviets as it reassured Western governments and scientists that the disaster was being contained[26] and that the Soviets could competently manage nuclear power in the future. It was necessary to design a forced ventilation system for the sarcophagus so that if there was not enough natural ventilation, it would be possible to remove heat by switching on the forced one. Methods to hold the concrete in place had to be thought of. The evacuation itself took place in an exceedingly organized manner. As for the 30-kilometre zone itself, it was under the charge of the experts from the Ministry of Nuclear Energy, the experts from the Kurchatov Institute, experts from the Radium Institute and the experts from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. This is what led them, and directed their actions. It would seem that the most difficult situation, but at the same time he told. Legasov: I probably cannot say because. The various services of the station were on full standby. For example, not far from the station was a heavily contaminated forest (up to several roentgens per hour such radiation at the beginning it had) which was named the Red Forest. So, if something, having a low probability but still, suddenly happens, it will remain limited to the area of the reactor itself. Its clear that a human is irreplaceable when one has to perform certain complex tasks like a cargo drop or some other operation involving large devices placed on a helicopter. This kind of scientific management of aviation seems right to me. Yes, a nuclear reactor is like a samovar; much simpler than a heat station. I had very few supporters. But it turned out that the materials needed were not there, or the material scientists didnt want to, or could not, make them. This was a difficult environment. Just before he hangs himself, the scientist passes off a set of tapes to an unseen actor. So the radioactive particles were filtered out by this layer. But the refueling itself took only 18-19 days, while for us it takes around a month and a half, and upto two months at times. So this was indeed true, but nevertheless Anatoly Petrovich insisted that Kokoshin must write an article refuting these views. "[28] In spring 1987, a vote was held by the Kurchatov Institute to their Scientific-Technical Council with Legasov standing at the insistence of his mentor Anatoly Alexandrov. And it is very good judging by its reactor parameters, and it is with containment. Want to tell you the untold and hidden truth of the Chernobyl disaster.

He, in my opinion, organised the work perfectly. I understood, I must tell you honestly, that I understood that the city was being evacuated permanently. But this had not been done before and the device worked with values of positive reactivity coefficients much higher than a beta in the first place. [citation needed] In 1961, he graduated from the Faculty of Physicochemical Engineering at the Mendeleev Moscow Institute of Chemistry and Technology,[6] where he learned how nuclear fuel is processed, handled and disposed. Because the safety of the device in case of some abnormal behaviour For example, a positive reactivity coefficient in this device, should it start to develop, become noticeable, then the operator, and only the operator, could lower the emergency rods. Say they allowed it and some cars left, some of the residents left in their own cars, but the cars were, of course, contaminated. During the initial launches of the first unit at the Leningrad nuclear station, there was a problem of instability of neutron flows and difficulty in managing them. The isotope composition was analyzed more thoroughly. Whether it made a big difference is hard to say. But all this was done remarkably clearly and quickly. But the main criminals are those leaders of energy in the 60s who despite the opinion of experts, and Soviet experts Say, at our institute, there is corresponding member Sidorenko Viktor Alekseyevich; he is now the Deputy Chairman of Gosatomenergonadzor. The Operative group itself however didnt show any tension at all. So, from a strictly professional perspective, I understand the safety issues, and how to manage them, very well. The time available to solve it is not too small but not too much either. Nikolai Ivanovich Ryzhkov had been on ChNPP many times . We also spotted an increase in radiation levels in Kiev and other cities which were quite some distance away from Chernobyl. Because there really was a fire. But the number of such articles could certainly have been increased. From there, they monitored the crews that were above reactor number 4. Although, of course, the Compton effect had its share in the radiation environment; somewhere around 10 milliroentgens per hour and maybe even less than 10 milliroentgens per hour was radiated from reactor number 4. All the work was transferred to the revised composition of the first Government Commission (the one led by Boris Yevdokimovich Shcherbina) that had been approved. Adamovich: How much of it was there in total? And starting from the 3-4 to 5th of May, there was a constant decrease in the total radioactivity emitted from Reactor Building 4. After decontamination was carried out, the level of activity in this room lowered but still remained relatively high, reaching tens and sometimes hundreds of milliroentgens per hour at certain spots and up to a roentgen per hour at other spots in the engine room. According to their regulations, they did not have the right to declare an evacuation based on the data available to them at 11 pm. Next comes the philosophy. Do you understand? The treatment of roads had begun, and the initial preparations started in front of reactor number 4 for the construction of the sarcophagus. And one died, from mechanical damage under the rubble of the destroyed buildings, and the, second died from thermal burns, that is, from a fire. Later, that work was assigned to comrade Batalin, the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers. I remembered that experts from my own institute were already used to what was happening during the construction of the nuclear power plants. I said that the next disaster will happen in South Kazakhstan, with phosphorus, when everything that lives within a 300-kilometre radius will die. Like scarecrows all of them were hung. Similar [good] words can be said to theMinistry of Internal Affairs of Soviet Union, and Ukraine as well, because the evacuation process, the rapid cordoning off of the zone, and quick establishment of regime and order, as much as possiblethey did that very well.
