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 . It was a direct consequence of Cold War isolation and the resulting lack of any safety culture. The accident destroyed the Chernobyl 4 reactor, killing 30 operators and firemen within three months and several further deaths later. One person was killed immediately and a second died in hospital soon after as a result of injuries received. Another person is reported to have died at the time from a coronary thrombosis . Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) was originally diagnosed in 237 people onsite and involved with the clean-up and it was later confirmed in 134 cases. Of these, 28 people died as a result of ARS within a few weeks of the accident. Nineteen more workers subsequently died between 1987 and 2004, but their deaths cannot necessarily be attributed to radiation exposure . Nobody offsite suffered from acute radiation effects although a significant, but uncertain, fraction of the thyroid cancers diagnosed since the accident in patients who were children at the time are likely to be due to intake of radioactive iodine fallout . Furthermore, large areas of Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, and beyond were contaminated in varying degrees. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑚𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑦 | 𝑆𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑆𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 | 𝐴𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑐𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 - 𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 ( 𝑌𝑜𝑢𝑇𝑢𝑏𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 ) " 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐾𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑔𝑒 𝐵𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑈𝑛𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒 " 𝐽𝑜𝑖𝑛 𝑈𝑠.. 1.YouTube-https://youtube.com/channel/UCsTOaf1_UXfpURK4eeyqTng 2.Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/dark.matters2/ #darkmatter #cosmology #astronomy #Astrophysics #space_science #cosmicscience #universe #ufo #pentogon_usa #unidentified_flying_objects #alien #fifthkind #documentary #classified #topsecrets #usa #government #chernobyl #nuclearenergy #chernobylite #nuclear #nuclearpower #nuclearpowerrussia #blast #powerplant #explosion 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙙 © 𝘾𝙤𝙥𝙮𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 | 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 ™ | 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 2020
