As you know well there occurred a very serious disaster in Russia in 1986. In nuclear power plant exploded hydrogen from a nuclear reactor. It was the biggest disaster in the history of nuclear energy and one of the biggest industrial disasters of the twentieth century.
I would like to discuss with you this topic. I have read many articles about this event and there are written different types of reasons of that disaster. But at the beginning I have to tell you more about what really happened there.
Everything started from nuclear reactor testing. Russians wanted to know what would happen if one of reactor was shut down. They weren’t well prepared to this operation and during shutting down there was a disaster. In the result of this experiment testers allowed for its reactor’s overheating and in the result it exploded. After explosion radioactive cloud moved with wind very fast in each site of the world contaminating almost every single country.
The Russian government wanted do hide information about the disaster and they didn’t tell the truth about this event. Only a few days later the American satellite detected radioactive substances in the air and it was the moment when world got to know the truth.
Russians said that not much of radioactive substances got into atmosphere. Just later research disclosed how serious this disaster was.
After a few years we are still feeling the consequences of this event. Many of us are ill much more often than before. We are weak, don’t have resistance against many disease, we die younger.
Recently I have seen a documentary film about what really happened in Czarnobyl in 1986 and I heard much information I have never heard before. There was told much information which was top secret and it had not come out to light. I saw how people died after radiation, how mutant people were born, how big was the real pollution and how far it moved. Information which was told on television was just a piece of real information which we should know. We have lived for many years in lie and nobody wants to tell the truth.
The worst is that the nuclear power plant is still dangerous for our health because the curtain made of concrete cracked in many place and the radioactive substances are still moving out from the building to the atmosphere.
So now I want to ask you.
1. Why Russian didn’t tell the truth about the real scale of threats?
2. Do you think that current diseases are caused by the disaster in Czarnobyl?
3. Maybe you have your own opinion about this event. If yes please share with us.
4. Do you think that we know all the truth about what really happened or they are still hiding something?
