Biggest nuclear accidents in history!

+5

Hi! Today's theme is: The biggest nuclear accidents in history! Nuclear energy now accounts for 17% of the world's electricity generation. Although it does not generate greenhouse gases, the danger lies in high radioactive waste and the possibility of accidents at power plants, which can be devastating.


1. Chernobyl (Ukraine)

Source: Wikipedia

The Chernobyl Nuclear Accident was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred between April 25 and 26, 1986 in the nuclear reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripiat, in northern Soviet Ukraine, near the border with Soviet Belarus. The accident occurred during a safety test in the early morning that simulated a power failure at the station, during which the emergency safety and power regulation systems were intentionally shut down. A combination of flaws inherent in the reactor design, as well as the reactor operators who organized the core in a manner contrary to the checklist for the test, resulted in uncontrolled reaction conditions. The superheated water was instantly turned into steam, causing a destructive explosion of steam and a subsequent fire that threw graphite outdoors and produced considerable upward currents for about nine days. The fire was finally contained on May 4, 1986. Plumes of fission products launched into the atmosphere by the fire precipitated over parts of the Soviet Union and Western Europe. The estimated radioactive inventory that was released during the hottest phase of the fire was approximately equal in magnitude to the airborne fission products released in the initial explosion.

The total number of victims, including those killed due to the disaster, remains a controversial and disputed issue. During the accident, the effects of the steam explosion caused two deaths within the facility: one immediately after the explosion and one by a lethal dose of radiation. In the coming days and weeks, 134 military personnel were hospitalized with acute radiation syndrome (SAR), of which 28 firefighters and officials died within months. In addition, about fourteen deaths from radiation-induced cancer among this group of 134 survivors occurred in the next ten years. Among the general population, a surplus of 15 infant deaths from thyroid cancer was documented in 2011. It will take more time and research to definitively determine the high relative risk of cancer among surviving employees, those who were initially hospitalized with SAR and the population generally.

The Chernobyl disaster is considered the most disastrous nuclear accident in history, both in terms of cost and casualties. It is one of only two nuclear energy accidents classified as a level 7 event (the maximum rating) on ​​the International Nuclear Accident Scale, the other being the Fukushima I nuclear accident in Japan in 2011. The struggle to safeguard scenarios with The potential for a major catastrophe, coupled with subsequent decontamination efforts around the plant, involved more than 500,000 workers (called liquidators) and cost about 18 billion Soviet rubles. The remains of the reactor building number 4 were placed in a large roof called "Shelter Structure", but known as "sarcophagus". The purpose of the structure was to reduce the dispersion of dust debris and radioactive debris from the wreckage, thus limiting radioactive contamination and protecting the site from the elements. The sarcophagus was completed in December 1986, at a time when what was left of the reactor was entering the cold shutdown phase. The enclosure was not intended to be used as a radiation shield, but was built quickly as occupational safety for employees of the other undamaged reactors at the plant, with No. 3, which continued to produce electricity until 2000.

2. Cesium-137 (Brazil)

This one is patented by "Made in Lands of Tupiniquim". It happened in the city of Goiânia, Goiás. At first glance, it is thought that the city is COMPLETELY DESTROYED, and it is quite the opposite: Goiânia is firm and strong, with its monuments, skyscrapers, parks and blah blah blah. Simply because it is not like that whole Chernobyl. No explosions. This makes the accident with Cesium-137, the greatest radiologist in history, outside the nuclear plants.

The Goiânia radiological accident, widely known as the cesium-137 accident, was a serious episode of radioactivity contamination that occurred in Brazil. The contamination started on September 13, 1987, when a device used in radiotherapy was found inside an abandoned clinic, in downtown Goiânia, in Goiás. It was classified as level 5 (accidents with long-range consequences) on the International Scale of Nuclear Accidents, ranging from zero to seven. The instrument was found by scavengers from a local junkyard, who thought it was scrap. It was disassembled and passed on to third parties, generating a trail of contamination, which seriously affected the health of hundreds of people. The Cesium-137 accident was the largest radioactive accident in Brazil and the largest in the world outside nuclear power plants, in addition to being considered the largest incident involving a radioactive source ever.

The contamination in Goiânia originated from a capsule that contained cesium chloride - a salt obtained from radioisotope 137 of the chemical element cesium. The radioactive capsule was part of a radiotherapy equipment where, inside it, it was covered by a protective steel and lead box. This protective box had a window made of iridium, which allowed the radiation to pass outside. The box containing the radioactive capsule was, in turn, positioned in a rotating container that had a collimator. This served to direct the radioactive beam, as well as to control its intensity.

After the accident, the properties around the radiological accident had their values ​​reduced, because those who lived in the region wanted to leave that place, but the population's fear of the existence of radiation in the air prevented the purchase and construction of new homes. In addition to the devaluation of properties, for a long time the local population experienced some discrimination due to the fear of passing the radiation on to other people, making access to services, education and travel more difficult. Many stores and shops that existed before the accident ended up closing or changing addresses, leaving a few merchants who still resisted staying in the region.

3. Fukushima I Daiichi (Japan)

Source: Wikipedia

And we see a Japanese on the list. This is the most recent, and shows that nuclear accidents may be imminent and have not only occurred in the past century.

Fukushima Nuclear Accident Daiichi was a nuclear disaster that occurred at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant on March 11, 2011, caused by the meltdown of three of the plant's six nuclear reactors. The failure occurred when the plant was hit by a tsunami caused by a magnitude 8.7 earthquake. The plant began releasing significant amounts of radioactive material on March 12, becoming the biggest nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear accident in April 1986, and the second (after Chernobyl) to reach level 7 on the International Scale of Nuclear Accidents, initially releasing about 10-30% of the radiation from the previous incident. The area became contaminated by the presence of the radioactive material released on it and such exposure caused the place to be irradiated continuously.

The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Investigation Commission considered that the nuclear disaster was "artificial" and that its direct causes were all predictable. The report also found that the plant was unable to withstand the earthquake and tsunami. A separate study by researchers at Stanford University found that Japanese plants operated by major utility companies were particularly unprotected against possible tsunamis. Two employees of Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) died of injuries caused by the earthquake and six others received radiation exposure above the lifetime limit. In September 2018, a death from cancer resulted in a financial settlement for the family of a former station worker. A report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation and the World Health Organization did not project an increase in abortions, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. More than 171,000 people have been evacuated and have not yet been able to return to their homes. It is estimated that 1,600 deaths occurred, mainly among elderly people who lived in nursing homes, due to poor evacuation conditions.

A continuous intensive cleaning program to decontaminate the affected areas and dismantle the plant will take 30 to 40 years. A soil barrier, built in an attempt to prevent further groundwater contamination, decreased the amount of contaminated water collected. In August 2013, however, an enormous amount of radioactive water was detected. There were continuous leaks of contaminated water at the plant and some at sea. Factory workers are trying to reduce spills through some measures, such as the construction of underground chemical walls, but they have not yet significantly improved the situation.

4. Three Mile Island (PA, USA)

Source: Wikipedia

And the USA? Well, nuclear accidents also passed through there, and left eternal marks. Three Mile Island is just one of the Americans that we're going to see.

The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown from Unit 2 of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Dauphin County, near Harrisburg. It was the most significant accident in the history of the US commercial nuclear power generation industry, resulting in the release of up to 481 PBq of radioactive gases and less than 740 GBq of the particularly dangerous iodine-131. The Three Mile Island nuclear accident was considered the most serious, until it was overcome by the Chernobyl nuclear accident in April 1986 and the Fukushima I Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011.

Despite the nuclear accident, the Three Mile Island plant remains in operation, albeit partially. (Wikimedia Commons)

The accident started at 4 am on Wednesday, March 28, 1979, with failures in the non-nuclear secondary system, followed by a pilot operated relief valve from the primary system that had been left open, allowing large amounts of coolant to escape. The mechanical failures were created by the initial failure of the reactor operators to recognize the situation as an accident of loss of coolant due to inadequate training and human factors such as industrial design errors related to the presence of ambiguous indicators in the control room at the interface of the interface. exchange user. The scope and complexity of the accident became clear over the course of five days, when Metropolitan Edison employees, Pennsylvania state officials and members of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission tried to understand the problem, communicated the situation to the press and the local community. , decided whether the accident required an emergency evacuation and finally realized the end of the crisis.

On November 1, 1979, a commission appointed by the then President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, came to the conclusion that the accident was caused by human error. At first, the plant's management intended to repair the damaged reactor. The technicians found, however, that the damage had been greater than suspected. Seventy percent of the reactor core had been destroyed by heat, including the rest.

Then President Jimmy Carter left the plant on April 1st, 1979. (Wikimedia Commons)


5. Yucca Flat (NV, USA)

Source: Wikipedia

From Pennsylvania to Nevada, another nuclear accident occurs. We will know now, Yucca Flat.

Yucca Flat is a closed desert drainage basin, one of the four main nuclear test regions within the Nevada Test Site (NTS), and is divided into nine test sections: Areas 1 to 4 and 6 to 10. Yucca Flat is located on the eastern edge of the NTS, about ten miles (16 km) north of Frenchman Flat and 65 miles (105 km) from Las Vegas, Nevada. Yucca Flat was the site of 739 nuclear tests - almost four out of five tests carried out on the NTS. It has been called "the most irradiated and nuclear explosion site on the face of the Earth". In March 2009, TIME identified the 1970 Yucca Flat Baneberry test, where 86 workers were exposed to radiation, as one of the worst nuclear disasters in the world. The local saw 739 nuclear tests, including 827 separate detonations. The largest number of detonations comes from single tests that included multiple nuclear explosions occurring within a 0.1 second time window and within a 1.2 mi (2 km) diameter circle. Sixty-two of these tests were performed at NTS. No test on Yucca Flat has ever exceeded 500 kilotons of expected yield. Larger explosion tests were performed at Rainier Mesa and Pahute Mesa, as their geology allowed for deeper test wells.

But not everything goes as planned, and it would be better to be safe than sorry. Only it wasn't quite like that. Area 8 hosted the "Baneberry" shot of Operation Emery on December 18, 1970. The Baneberry 10 kiloton test detonated 900 ft (270 m) below the surface but its energy cracked the soil in unexpected ways, causing a fissure near ground zero and the failure of the shaft and cap. A plume of fire and dust was released three and a half minutes after ignition, raining fallout on workers in different locations within NTS. The radioactive plume released 6.7 megacuries (250 PBq) of radioactive material, including 80 kCi (3.0 PBq) of iodine-131. After dropping a portion of its material locally, the plume's lighter particles were carried to three altitudes and conveyed by winter storms and the jet stream to be deposited heavily as radionuclide-laden snow in Lassen and Sierra counties in northeast California, and to lesser degrees in southern Idaho, northern Nevada and some eastern sections of Oregon and Washington states. The three diverging jet stream layers conducted radionuclides across the US to Canada, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.

Some 86 workers at the site were exposed to radioactivity, but according to the Department of Energy none received a dose exceeding site guidelines and, similarly, radiation drifting offsite was not considered to pose a hazard by the DOE. In March 2009, TIME magazine identified the Baneberry Test as one of the world's worst nuclear disasters. Two US Federal court cases resulted from the Baneberry event. Two NTS workers who were exposed to high levels of radiation from Baneberry died in 1974, both from acute myeloid leukemia. The district court found that although the Government had acted negligently, the radiation from the Baneberry test did not cause the leukemia cases. The district decision was upheld on appeal in 1996.

6. Kyshtym (Russia)

Source: Wikipedia

Almost there! We are over half the list, and if you managed to survive, you can survive from all danger in this life... Let's go, Kyshtym.

The Kyshtym disaster was a radioactive contamination accident that occurred on September 29, 1957 in Mayak, a plutonium production site for nuclear weapons and a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in the Soviet Union. It is measured as a Level 6 disaster on the International Nuclear Events Scale (INES), making it the third most serious nuclear accident in history, behind the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and the Chernobyl disaster (Level 7 at INES). The event took place in the city of Ozyorsk, an oblast of Chelyabinsk, a closed city, built around the Mayak factory. Since Ozyorsk/Mayak (also known as Chelyabinsk-40 and Chelyabinsk-65) was not marked on maps, the disaster was called after Kyshtym, the closest known city.

After World War II, the Soviet Union lagged behind the US in the development of nuclear weapons, so it started a rapid research and development program to produce enough uranium and plutonium. The Mayak factory was hurriedly built between 1945 and 1948. Environmental concerns were not taken seriously during the early development phase. All six reactors stayed on the shores of Lake Kyzyltash and used an open-cycle cooling system, discharging the contaminated water directly back into the lake. Mayak was initially dumping highly radioactive waste into a nearby river, which was taking the waste to the Ob River, flowing further down into the Arctic Ocean. Later, Lake Karachay was used for outdoor storage.

In 1956, the cooling system in one of the tanks containing about 70 to 80 tons of liquid radioactive waste failed and was not repaired. The temperature started to rise, resulting in the evaporation and chemical explosion of the dry residues, which consisted mainly of ammonium nitrate and acetates. The explosion, on September 29, 1957, which is estimated to have a force of about 70 to 100 tons of TNT, threw the 160-ton concrete cover in the air. There were no immediate casualties as a result of the explosion, but it released an estimate of 20 MCi (800 PBq) of radioactivity. Most of this contamination was established near the accident site and contributed to the pollution of the Techa River, but a plume containing 2 MCi (80 PBq) of radionuclides spread over hundreds of kilometers. Previously contaminated areas within the affected area include the Techa River, which ended up receiving 2.75 MCi (100 PBq) of waste dumped deliberately, and Lake Karachay, which had received 120 MCi (4,000 PBq).

Within 10 to 11 hours, the radioactive cloud moved north-east, reaching 300-350 kilometers from the accident. Cloud precipitation resulted in long-term contamination of an area of ​​more than 800 to 20,000 square kilometers (depending on the level of contamination is considered significant), mainly with cesium-137 and strontium-90. This area is generally referred to as the Eastern Ural Radioactive Traits (EURT).

7. Bohunice (Slovakia)

Source: Wikipedia

Returning to Europe, on a trip to Bohunice. Just don't forget to put the mask on during the flight.

The Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant is a complex of nuclear reactors situated 2.5 km from the village of Jaslovské Bohunice in the Trnava District in western Slovakia. Bohunice NPP consists of two plants: V1 and V2. Both plants contain two reactor units. The plant was connected to the national power network in stages in the period between 1978 and 1985. The four power reactors are pressurized water reactors of the Soviet VVER-440 design. Annual electricity generation averages about 12,000 GWh. Upon development of a district heating supply network in the town of Trnava near Bohunice NPP, V2 switched to co-generation. Part of this system is a heat feeder line commissioned in 1987. In 1997 a heat feeder line to Leopoldov and Hlohovec was begun, branching off from the Trnava line.

The A1 is another nuclear reactor situated on the Jaslovské Bohunice site. The power plant A1 was built between 1958 and 1972, and it was the first nuclear power plant in Czechoslovakia. It was using one experimental reactor KS-150 designed in Czechoslovakia, which used unenriched uranium as a fuel. Refueling was done during operation of reactor, there was no need to shut it down for the fuel replacement, as in conventional reactors. From the beginning, however, there were many problems with the operation of the reactor and a number of accidents occurred, what was related to the experimental design of the reactor. Two serious accident happened at the A1 power plant. First one occurred in 1976, during the replacement of fuel cells. Two people lost their lives during this accident. Second major accident occurred during refueling on February 22, 1977. It was rated as the accident of 4th degree according to INES. After the second major accident, a decision was made to shut down the reactor because it was expensive to repair it after the accident, and the operation of this reactor was inefficient. Czechoslovakia decided to further build conventional Soviet reactors of the VVER type instead, which have higher output with more efficient operational process. A1 power plant was closed and it's undergoing a decommissioning and cleanup process.

8. Windscale (England, UK)

Source: Wikipedia

Before we meet Your Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, we will stop at the power plant that caused Britain's biggest nuclear accident: Windscale.

The Windscale fire of 10 October 1957 was the worst nuclear accident in Great Britain's history, and one of the worst in the world, ranked in severity at level 5 out of a possible 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The fire took place in Unit 1 of the two-pile Windscale facility on the northwest coast of England in Cumberland (now Sellafield, Cumbria). The two graphite-moderated reactors, referred to at the time as "piles", had been built as part of the British post-war atomic bomb project. Windscale Pile No. 1 was operational in October 1950 followed by Pile No. 2 in June 1951.

The fire burned for three days and released radioactive fallout which spread across the UK and the rest of Europe. The radioactive isotope iodine-131, which may lead to cancer of the thyroid, was particularly concerning at the time. It has since come to light that small but significant amounts of the highly dangerous radioactive isotope polonium-210 were also released. It is estimated that the radiation leak may have caused 240 additional cancer cases, with 100 to 240 of these being fatal. At the time of the incident no one was evacuated from the surrounding area, but milk from about 500 square kilometres (190 sq mi) of nearby countryside was diluted and destroyed for about a month due to concerns about its exposure to radiation. The UK government played down the events at the time and reports on the fire were subject to heavy censorship, as Prime Minister Harold Macmillan feared the incident would harm British-American nuclear relations.

9. Tokaimura (Japan)

Source: Wikipedia

There have been two Tokaimura nuclear accidents at the nuclear facility at Tōkai, Ibaraki, Japan: on 11 March 1997, an explosion occurred in a Dōnen plant, and on 30 September 1999, a serious criticality accident happened in a JCO plant. We are going to see the second.

The Tōkai Nuclear Power Plant located in Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan was founded in 1966. It served as a fuel conversion company and producer of nuclear reactor fuel rods until 1999.

The more serious Tokaimura nuclear accident, occurred on 30 September 1999 in a JCO uranium processing plant. The event was classified a criticality accident. The incident took place in a conversion building operated by JCO (formerly Japan Nuclear Fuel Conversion Co.) a subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Company in the village of Tōkai. It was the worst civilian nuclear radiation accident in Japan prior to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011. The incident exposed the surrounding population to hazardous nuclear radiation after the uranium mixture reached criticality. Two of the three technicians mixing fuel lost their lives. The incident was caused by lack of regulatory supervision, inadequate safety culture and improper technician training and education. The JCO facility started to dissolve and mix high-purity enriched uranium oxide with nitric acid to produce uranyl nitrate for shipping on 28 September 1999. The highly-enriched uranium in production was improperly prepared for fuel conversion. Pressure placed upon staff to prepare uranyl nitrate for shipping led to several errors including pouring the solution (uranium oxide in nitric acid). The technicians opted to pour the product by hand in stainless-steel buckets directly into a sedimentation tank. This process inadvertently contributed to a critical mass level incident triggering uncontrolled nuclear chain reactions over the next several hours.

10. Seversk (Russia)

Source: Wikipedia

FINALLY! Cof! Cof! The last one! Cof! In... cof! Russia! Cof!

Seversk is a closed city in Tomsk Oblast, Russia, located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) northwest of Tomsk on the right bank of the Tom River. It was previously known as Pyaty Pochtovy (until 1949) and Tomsk-7 (until 1992). Seversk had been a secret city in the Soviet Union until President Boris Yeltsin decreed in 1992 that such cities could use their historical names. As was the tradition with Soviet towns containing secret facilities, the designation "Tomsk-7" (like its predecessor "Pyaty Pochtovy") is simply a postal code which implies that the place is located close to the city of Tomsk. For many years, residents have been restricted from entering or leaving the city.

There was a nuclear accident at the Tomsk-7 Reprocessing Complex on April 6, 1993, when a tank exploded due to formation of red oil, while nitric acid was being added to a plutonium-uranium mixture. The explosion released a cloud of radioactive gas. TIME magazine has identified the Tomsk-7 explosion as one of the world's 10 "worst nuclear disasters". The explosion had a force of approximately 100 kg of TNT and blew out a large section of the exterior wall of the high level radioactive processing room. Winds blew the small amount of released radioactive material northwards, some landing over the neighboring village of Georgiyevka.
