Chernobyl news report Yesterday's accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant could be the worst in history, American scientists said yesterday. The four reactors at Chernobyl are substantially different from those in the U.S. American reactors immerse the nuclear fuel in water to help cool the fuel rods and to control the neutrons that cause uranium atoms to split.
The Chernobyl reactors use graphite-carbon-blocks to control neutrons. Each reactor core is "a big rectangular block of graphite," Zebroski said.
"The graphite core certainly did not meltdown, but the fuel in the channels between the graphite blocks certainly was damaged very severely," he said.
It's impossible to say now whether anyone died in the accident, Sailor said. The Soviet announcement said only that "aid is being given to those affected."
"We may never know," Sailor said.
You walk at a fast pace up the dusty path. You inhale as little as possible, every step is harder and harder to keep a steady breathe. Your eyes flickered, you are searching for a way out. You knew you couldn't stop for a breathe, or a break. The radioactive air was making your eyes water intensely. You try to keep your pace up, thinking you would make it out in time. You blink and see a hazard zone sign down the path, covering most of the sign are a dark amber vine. You take one more jittery step and collapse, everything goes black. You hear voices, a heart monitor and feel a cold metallic hard surface underneath your back. You slowly open your eyes, blinking as the vision clears up. You are a little confused as to why and what happened. You try twitching your hand, a sharp pain shoots up and down your arm. You inhale cool air, your head is pounding. A girl with a dark blue gas mask with red lenses and large black rubber gloves enters the room, peeking in on you. You try to speak, but your aching head pounds harder with every attempt. She approaches, looking at him. She glances at the heart monitor, nods then looks back down at you.
"Hello there! I didn't expect someone like you to survive the radiation!" She said with a very happily exited tone.
You are confused. You tilt your head, finally building up enough strength to respond.
