A must watch 抢救切尔诺贝利 The Battle of Chernobyl - Europe's Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant (福島第一原子力発電所



切尔诺贝利核事故是一起发生在苏联乌克兰切尔诺贝利核电站的核子反应炉事故。该事故被认为是历史上最严重的核子电厂事故,也是国际核事件分级表中唯一的第七级事件。因为功

­率的剧增导致反应炉被破坏,使得严重的放射性物质被释放到环境中。事故中绝大部分受害者的死因都归咎于放射线。绿色和平组织所估计的总伤亡人数是9万3千人,但引用在最新­出炉的一份报告中的数据指出发生在白俄罗斯、俄罗斯及乌克兰单独事件在1990年到2004年间可能已经造成20万起额外的死亡。

The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine. At that time, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. The event is regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. Because there was no containment building to trap the radiation, radioactive fallout drifted over parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, the UK, and the eastern United States. Large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia were badly contaminated. About 70% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus. About 200,000 people needed to be evacuated (moved away) and moved to other places where they could live after the accident.

チェルノブイリ原子力 発電所事故(チェルノブイリげんしりょくはつでんしょじこ)とは、1986年4月26日1時23分(モスクワ時間 ※UTC+3)にソビエト連邦(現:ウクライナ)のチェルノブイリ原子力発電所4号炉で起きた原子力事故。広島に投下された原子爆弾(リトルボーイ)に換 算して約500発­分の原爆投下に相当する量の放射性物質が撒き散らされたことから、「核戦争」とも表現された。
