Chernobyl

Existing americium is concentrated in the areas used for the atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted between 1945 and 1980, as well as at the sites of nuclear incidents, such as the Chernobyl disaster.

Beginning in 1986, in response to the nuclear reactor explosion and disaster near Chernobyl, Ukraine, the IAEA redoubled its efforts in the field of nuclear safety.

On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl disaster occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine situated close to the border with Belarus.

* 1986 – A nuclear reactor accident occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union ( now Ukraine ), creating the world's worst nuclear disaster.

* Opposition to nuclear power plants grew, especially after the catastrophic 1986 Chernobyl accident.

* 2004 – Leonid Telyatnikov, Kazakhstani fire chief at Chernobyl ( b. 1951 )

The term was named after the April 1986 nuclear accident at Chernobyl.

Following the Chernobyl disaster of 1986, dangerously high levels of nuclear radiation escaped into the surrounding area, and nearly 200 towns and villages in Ukraine and neighbouring Belarus were evacuated, including the cities of Chernobyl and Prypiat.

The Gomel Province borders the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in places, and part of it is designated as mandatory or voluntary resettlement areas as a result of the radioactive contamination.

The Chernobyl plant was equipped with both types of turbines ; Block 4 had the newer ones.

He made his first foray into television movies, acting in 1991's Chernobyl: The Final Warning, followed by The Last of his Tribe, in 1992.

" The prime example of a " major nuclear accident " is one in which a reactor core is damaged and significant amounts of radiation are released, such as in the Chernobyl Disaster in 1986.

She is the chief executive of Irish-based charity Chernobyl Children International, and in November 2010 received the Health Award at the World of Children Awards ceremony.

Assuming the radiation levels are not too high and the area does not need to be abandoned such as the town of Pripyat near the Chernobyl reactor, an expensive and time consuming cleanup procedure will begin.

The International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) later stated that it contained approximately of strontium, equivalent to the amount of radiation released immediately after the Chernobyl accident ( though the total radiation release from Chernobyl was 2500 times greater at around ).

Heavy water has very low neutron absorption, so heavy water reactors such as CANDU reactors also have a positive void coefficient, though it is not as large as that of an RBMK like Chernobyl ; these reactors are designed with a number of safety systems not found in the original RBMK design, which are designed to handle or react to this as needed.

They played at " 10 Years After Chernobyl " Action in Chişinău and warmed up for Rage Against the Machine at the Learn to Swim II Festival in 1996.

Our Lady of Chernobyl is a collection of short fiction by the Australian science fiction writer Greg Egan, published in 1995 by MirrorDanse, in Sydney.

The Food Standards Agency also imposed restrictions on the sheep trade because of the consequences of the 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe which were repealed in March 2012.

" The Zone " is the location of an alternate reality version of the Zone of alienation surrounding the Chernobyl Power Plant after a second, fictitious meltdown, which further contaminated the surrounding area with radiation and caused strange otherworldly changes in local fauna, flora and the laws of physics.

Administrative oversight of the new city of Slavutych, which was constructed as part of the Chernihiv Oblast, was then transferred to the Kyiv Oblast ( see Chernobyl zone below ).
