    Uploaded by

    cable arora
    The document summarizes the Chernobyl disaster that occurred in 1986 at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. It provides background on the flawed Soviet reactor design and operator mistakes that led to the accident. The accident destroyed Reactor 4, killing 30 operators and firemen initially and causing several later deaths. It was a unique event as it was the only commercial nuclear power accident resulting in radiation-related fatalities. The location of the Chernobyl Power Complex is provided as being 130 km north of Kiev, Ukraine near the Belarus border.

    TABLE OF CONTENT

     INTRODUCTION
     LOCATION
    INTRODUCTIO
    N
     The April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine
    was the product of a flawed Soviet reactor design coupled with serious
    mistakes made by the plant operators

     The accident destroyed the Chernobyl 4 reactor, killing 30 operators and


    firemen within three months and several further deaths later

     The Chernobyl disaster was a unique event and the only accident in the
    history of commercial nuclear power where radiation-related fatalities
    occurred

     According to the Former Soviet Union President Gorbachev, the Chernobyl


    accident was an important reason that led to the fall of the Soviet Union
    LOCATION
    The Chernobyl Power Complex, lying about 130 km north of Kiev,
    Ukraine, and about 20 km south of the border with Belarus
    WORKING PRINCIPLE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

     Nuclear energy is created by splitting apart certain types of large isotopes, called fissile
    isotopes.

     Isotopes are variations of an element that have different numbers of neutrons, and some are
    more stable than others.

     A fissile isotope breaks apart when a neutron hits it, and even once in a while on its own.

     When it breaks apart, that’s called nuclear fission, and it’s the isotope’s way of trying to
    become more stable.

     When it does, kinetic energy that’s converted to heat is released.

     And that energy is ultimately what powers an electrical grid.
