Live: Exploring The World

"certainly!"

At this time, Jiang Chen continued: "After the Chernobyl accident, the price paid is far more than just money. I have some stories that I can share with you!"

Hearing this, Ke Qiusha and others, as well as tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, were instantly quiet, listening quietly and waiting for Jiang Chen to continue talking!

Just like what Zhou Zhiyao said about Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen has his own unique charm. When he speaks, everyone can't help but listen very seriously!

If Jiang Chen is not an explorer, he can definitely be an excellent blogger, telling stories to everyone, and attracting a lot of fans!

At this time, Jiang Chen continued: "In the early morning of April 26, the experienced operators had already returned home from work, leaving only a few inexperienced operators operating the system in the plant, and as a result, an operation error occurred, which put the reactor in a semi-active state. The shutdown and semi-operational state made the reactor "457" gradually lose control."

"At 1:23 in the morning, the No. 4 reactor exploded, and the huge shock wave threw the 1,200-ton reinforced concrete roof above the reactor into the air."

"The burning reactor emits a strange flame and exposes it to the night sky. The sparks splash out and thick smoke billows, carrying a large amount of radiation particles and being thrown thousands of meters into the sky."

"Vassily was one of the first firefighters to arrive on the scene. He, like other firefighters, thought it was just an ordinary fire. They sprayed countless tons of water without knowing the circumstances and lack of protection, but the fire was not in the slightest. Weaken."

"As recorded in "Chernobyl's Sorrow", Vasily's hands, he felt a lot like walking on tar. They struggled to put out the fire, kicking the burning graphite with their feet... They didn't even wear canvas uniforms, Wearing only shirts to work, no one told them what kind of accident it was, they only knew to put out the fire.

"Vassily and his colleagues received 1,600 roentgens of radiation that night, and 400 roentgens are enough to kill ordinary people. About 30 people died within half a month afterwards."

"Subsequently, the military and civilians of the former Soviet Union began a costly fire-fighting operation.

"Because this is an unprecedented nuclear power plant fire, no one or even any expert has had similar fire fighting and remedial experience before."

"So, we can only rely on the top helicopter pilots to participate in the fire fighting operations. They are facing the high temperature and radiation, driving the helicopter, and throwing sandbags into the burning reactor with their bare hands. Borax and lead are used to extinguish the fire and absorb radiation."

"At that time, the radiation value above the fire site was as high as 3,500 roentgens. Each of these pilots made more than 30 round trips every day, and transported a total of 15,000 tons of fire-fighting materials into the ruins of the No. 4 reactor. own young life."

"After sacrificing more than 600 top pilots, the fire was finally brought under control, but the core temperature of the reactor is still high, and lava is still formed. The key is to be close to the water tank used for cooling in the reactor. The water tank contains 7,000 cubic meters of water!"

"If the lava is close to the water tank, the high temperature will instantly make the water in the water tank boil, and the huge steam will continue to accumulate inside the water tank. After reaching the limit, a secondary explosion will occur!"

"If an explosion occurs, it will destroy any structures within 30 kilometers, including the three remaining reactors at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant."

"And once the other three reactors are also affected and exploded, the shock wave of the explosion will affect an area with a radius of 200 kilometers, including the important city of Kiev, and the radioactive pollution will spread to the entire Eastern Europe."

"The Chernobyl accident will turn into a human catastrophe.

"In the end, two staff members who are familiar with the operation of the water tank stood up and released the disc!"

"At that time, the radiation content in the reactor was enough to kill people immediately. Even if they survived by chance, they would not survive a week!"

"However, they still stood up, rushed into the reactor, and opened the water tank with bare hands to release the water, only to save everything and sacrifice themselves!"

"The fire threat and the explosion threat have been eliminated, but the pollution problem is still unresolved. There is an underground river under the No. 4 unit. The lava burned through the underground cement slab and invaded the underground river!"

"If the underground river is polluted, a large number of people will also be affected!"

"As a result, the authorities urgently found 10,000 absentees, started excavation work, and carried out irrigation to prevent the invasion of magma!"

"The magma was blocked by them, and the nuclear pollution did not expand further, but they paid for their health and lives. One quarter of them did not live past 40 years.

"The next step is the construction of the sarcophagus. As we mentioned before, the construction of the sarcophagus cost a lot of money!"

"Most people will sigh that a sarcophagus will cost so much money, but they don't know that apart from these huge funds, it is the young lives that are really worth sighing and pity!"

"After the No. 4 unit exploded, the site environment was extremely harsh, and there were graphite fragments everywhere (some of these fragments weighed tens of kilograms), each of which could kill a person within an hour. To build a sarcophagus, you must Clean up the graphite block………”

"A total of 500,000 people participated, and they did not have protective equipment, causing a large number of soldiers to vomit blood during the cleaning process!"

"It took a total of seven months. This 170-meter-long, 66-meter-high reinforced concrete and steel plate structure "sarcophagus" has finally been built and assembled, and the cleaning work is also over!"

"In addition to the astonishing amount of money spent, 20,000 of the 500,000 people involved in cleaning and assembling the sarcophagus died and 200,000 were disabled in the ensuing 20 years."

"According to statistics, a total of 2 billion people were affected by the Chernobyl accident, 270,000 people suffered from cancer, and 93,000 people died of it."

After listening to Jiang Chen's narration, especially the series of icy numbers at the end, everyone felt shocked and shuddered, and their hearts were shaken!

This is not a war, but the degree of thrill and danger is better than war!

No one could have imagined that in order to prevent this disaster, so many people were sacrificed, which is simply frightening!

If it is said that everyone did not have an intuitive understanding of nuclear radiation and the damage caused by the Chernobyl accident before!

Jiang Chen's explanation at this moment, as well as the detailed data, are enough for everyone to truly appreciate the harm of these 1.2 accidents, and how heavy the price paid to make up for the accident is!

At the same time, it also allows people to have a deeper understanding of Chernobyl!

In this place known as the death zone, what happened back then was so miserable and tragic!

And those hundreds of thousands or millions of people involved in fire fighting operations, cleaning operations, and organizing pollution expansion operations deserve people's respect. They know everything about this trip, and they will definitely die!

There is no distinction between races and countries, they all have a unified name called "Retrograde", and they deserve the title of "Hero"!
