From Chernobyl to Fukushima Nikolay KARPAN From Chernobyl to Fukushima KIEV S. PODGORNOV 2012 BBC 63.3(2)7 K 21 Nikolay KARPAN K 21 From Chernobyl to Fukushima. — Kiev: S. Podgornov, 2012 — 304 p.: ill. ISBN 966-7853-10-5 In his new book - From Chernobyl to Fukushima - physicist and engineer Nikolay Karpan provides many earlier unknown facts on two major large-scale NPP accidents. With his long­ term practical experience of work at many different NPPs, including ten years of work at the Chernobyl NPP (1979 - 1989), Nikolay Karpan fully experienced all aspects of life of “liquidators of nuclear accidents”. The author provides an impressive accountof initial hours of these disasters and gives interesting analysis of these historical events. The description of contemporary state of international Chernobyl projects and his account how the Chernobyl tragedy was transformed into a farce will leave nobody indifferent. The events at Japanese Fukushima NPP are assessed from a professional point of view. For the first time the reader will see logical patterns in explosions of the Japanese reactors, associated with inadequate understanding of relations between the Man and the Nature with its mighty forces releasing in natural disasters. Safe nuclear reactors do not exist and they cannot exist, as in addition to high operational temperature and pressure they contain deadly radioactive loads that release to the environment far too often - every 15 years (four off-design accidents in 57 years of the global nuclear power industry’s history). The book is a major event as it is written by a professional physicist about extreme developments he experienced himself, the book written honestly, stingingly and without pathos.

ACCIDENT IS NOT OVER......................................................297 Foreword I never imagined that events of global significance may happen in my life, and that I would have to do a lot of hard work to remain a human being in this mess. The Chernobyl disaster swept like a massive roller across continents, countries, and on the fate of millions of people. Only Ukraine has lost half a million of its citizens (the book provides a documental proof of the fact), nothing to say about adverse health and economic impacts on its neighbours. Today, we can definitely say that even such superpower as the Soviet Union was not ready to accidents of the Chernobyl scale. Japan was not an exception either, suffering now from consequences of accidents at Fukushima NPP, which have not been fully revealed yet and can have very serious implications. So, the main thing I wanted to say to the reader of the book - it is unacceptable to have a blind faith in the power of the state and its apparatus. People should believe in themselves only and the should be able to pull themselves by hair out of any trouble. It is impossible to be indifferent to things that happen in my country of residence, which is called my Homeland. You can not allow incompetent officials and rulers of our lives to break us morally, as the Soviet Politburo did to Chernobyl staff. 5 List of Acronyms and Abbreviations A&UB - administrative and utility building APC - armoured personnel carrier Bq - becquerel, Bq is defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second.

  • Research Activities About the Radiological Consequences of the Chernobyl NPS Accident and Social Activities to Assist the Sufferers by the Accident
    Research Activities about the Radiological Consequences of the Chernobyl NPS Accident and Social Activities to Assist the Sufferers by the Accident Report of an International Collaborative Work under the Research Grant of the Toyota Foundation in 1995 - 1997 Edited by IMANAKA T. Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University March 1998 Research Activities about the Radiological Consequences of the Chernobyl NPS Accident and Social Activities to Assist the Sufferers by the Accident Preface The 12th anniversary is coming soon of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the former USSR on April 26, 1986. Many issues are, however, still unresolved about the radiological impacts on the environment and people due to the Chernobyl accident. This report contains the results of an international collaborative project about the radiological consequences of the Chernobyl accident, carried out from November 1995 to October 1997 under the research grant of the Toyota foundation. Our project team consisted of the following 9 members: T. Imanaka (leader, KURRI), H. Koide (KURRI), V. P. Matsko (Institute of Radiobiology, Academy of Sciences of Belarus), I. A. Ryabzev (Institute of Problems of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences), O. Nasvit (Institute of Hydrobiology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine), A. Yaroshinskaya (Yaroshinskaya Charity Fund, Russia), M. V. Malko (Institute of Physical and Chemical Radiation Problems, Academy Sciences of Belarus), V. Tykhyi (Environmental Education and Information Center, Ukraine) and S. Sugiura (Japan Chernobyl Foundation, Minsk office). Collaborative works were promoted along with the following 5 sub-themes: General description of research activities in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine concerning the radiological consequences of the accident.

  • Views of Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker
    NFLA Policy Briefing No.197 Date: 11th March 2020 Subject: The impact of radiation on women and the importance of women in dealing with the Chernobyl disaster – the views of Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker 1. Introduction This report is a distillation of two talks given by Linda Pentz Gunter of Beyond Nuclear International and Linda Walker of Chernobyl Children’s Project UK. These were given at a Greater Manchester and District CND meeting close to International Women’s Day. The talks were on the subjects of the impacts of radiation on women and the positive role a number of women have played in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. Beyond Nuclear International is a dynamic new web platform that tells the story of those affected by nuclear power or nuclear weapons from a humanitarian perspective. The Chernobyl Children’s Project UK was founded 25 years ago this year following a special conference held by the host Council of the NFLA, Manchester City Council. A commemorative civic reception for the charity is being hosted by the Lord Mayor of Manchester on April 27 th , the day after the 36 th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. The NFLA Secretariat would like to thank Linda Pentz Gunter and Linda Walker for permission to reproduce the text of their talks to the meeting. The NFLA also thanks GM&D CND for organising the meeting. Please note these talks are opinion pieces and the views of the authors. 2. Talk by Linda Pentz Gunter, Beyond Nuclear International “So long as there is a woman alive” – the impact of radiation on women I am going to talk about why and how nuclear power discriminates against women and the children we care for and what we can do about it.

My purpose of the final degree project is to describe what the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was for the Ukrainian society, how they lived through it, how they received information and what measures they had to take or continue taking to survive the situation. On top of this, it will also contain international reactions and information about aid programs. Therefore, the theme of this work is the Chernobyl accident and the working hypothesis is that Europe, Ukraine and America had different information about the accident.
