What a shitty way to start.


Anyways here is a summary of what went wrong with Chernobyl.

The disaster began on 26 April 1986, at reactor number four at the Chernobyl plant, near the town of Pripyat in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, during a systems test. A sudden power output surge took place, and when an attempt was made for emergency shutdown, a more extreme spike in power output occurred which led to a reactor vessel rupture and a series of explosions. This event exposed the graphite moderator components of the reactor to air and they ignited; the resulting fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area, including Pripyat. The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union. Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia had to be evacuated, with over 336,000 people resettled. According to official post-Soviet data,[1][2] about 60% of the fallout landed in Belarus.
Despite the accident, Ukraine continued to operate the remaining reactors at Chernobyl for many years. The last reactor at the site was closed down in 2000, 14 years after the accident.[3]

I still don't think anything like this is possible in Japan ( i am really hoping i am right )

A Thread about a disaster got pulled? Only on here. Back on topic. Anyone know how bad the other explosion was? Caught a glimpse of the news before saying 170,000 people had been evacuated.

Thank god for that, someone has seen sense! Some new footage of the harbour wall being breached on sky news, amazing force of power.

Is the worst of it over? I mean have the aftershocks stopped, tsunamis retreated and no more forecast?

This is all true, but on the day there was also a long list of other most basic safety breaches, maintenance lapses and mis-management at play.

The type of reactor at Chernobyl was also fundamentally flawed.

i dont think they have the same issues in Japan. At least i hope they dont.

i thought they were running a power failure simulation and fucked it up, was under the impression it was a human error accident?

Ellen McCarthur has abandoned her around the world sailing trip after she was overtook by a jap on a deckchair.

All joking apart this is a horrible incident which has rocked the earth. I hope they sort it all out and most of their fanilies find there loved ones alive.
