it has been 21 years ago...
April 26, 1986.
"By 1:23:47 the reactor jumped to around 30 GW, ten times the normal operational output. The fuel rods began to melt and the steam pressure rapidly increased, causing a large steam explosion. Generated steam traveled vertically along the rod channels in the reactor, displacing and destroying the reactor lid, rupturing the coolant tubes and then blowing a hole in the roof. After part of the roof blew off, the inrush of oxygen, combined with the extremely high temperature of the reactor fuel and graphite moderator, sparked a graphite fire. This fire greatly contributed to the spread of radioactive material and the contamination of outlying areas."
This is how the one worst and darkest dream of humankind came true. Chernobyl. The other things are known, we have seen it in the TV, we talked about it, we felt it. And we understood: This is how you became when playing with nuclear power, you suffer for hundred years.
21 years are not many, but we haven't learned.
Isn't it the time to finish playing? Take it seriously! Carefully!
And always remeber for "No more Chernobyl!"
