The nuclear accidents of Chernobyl (Ukraine, 26 April 1986) in Fukushima (Japan, 11 March 2011) were very different from the only ones in history to elevate level 7, the highest altitude, on the scale that is disastrous.
These are also key figures that differentiate and prevent accidents in Ukraine as the most serious in history, according to a report issued this March in Vienna by the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (Unscear)
1. Causes. On April 26, 1986, a series of nuclear reactions during a security crackdown provoked a vapor explosion that caused the Chernobyl bombing station to explode and radiate during the day.
On March 11, 2011, a tsunami caused by a power outage on the Fukushima plant’s refrigeration system, which initiated a radioactive leak that lasted for 12 days.
1. Diseño. Fukushima has a primary content that avoids the release of large amounts of radionuclides, while in Chernobyl the nucleus of the reactor is directly exposed to the atmosphere.
The Soviet reactor released 85 petabecquerels (PBq) from Celsio 137 and 1,760 petabecquerels from Yodo 131, in front of the 10 and 120 of Fukushima, respectively.
2. The Chernobyl reactor fleet must be extinguished to minimize the propagation risk of the flames in the rest of the reactors, which exposes working buildings to high levels of radiation. Hasta 134 sufrieron syndrome de radiaciion aguda y 28 murieron. No death victims between rescue teams in Fukushima.
80% of Fukushima’s radiation, located on the coast, flowing into the Pacific Ocean, while the Chernobyl, in the interior zone, were depositing in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and the northern part and center of Europe.
4. The Chernobyl incident was more recent than the time of the agricultural war, as it was the most food-contaminated, united by the minor restrictions imposed on the Soviet Union in Japan.
In addition, the level of radionuclides permitted in foods is much lower in Japan than in the Soviet Union, where tampoco is properly corrected for the population on which foods are avoided.
5. In Fukushima there is a high level of safety measures: from a major evacuation radio (118,000 people on a radio within 30 kilometers, in front of the 116,000 evacuated Chernobyl to a radio of 20 kilometers), up to the range of about a million tablets of iodine between all the minorities of 40 years (in Chernobyl only is distributed between the evacuated and the emergency personnel).
Apart from the immediately evacuated casualties of the accident, in Ukraine another 220,000 people were displaced between 1989-1992 and other areas related to the incident.
6. Japan salión benefited from creating the mayor part of his garanos in granars in pastures in the air, as well as in the Soviet Union, which avoids the transfer of more high levels of radionuclides to the body and body of the animal.
7. The committee contaminated by the Soviet Union provoked that many people -news at the time of the incident- would develop thyroid cancer in large places.
In addition, the medical equipment used in Japan, 35 years after Chernobyl, was more modern and more sensitive to the detection of abnormalities in the thyroid glands, which facilitated the immediate treatment of patients.
The level of iodine-131 absorbed by the Chernobyl evacuation was even higher than the evacuation in Fukushima, between 50 milliGray (mGy) and 5 Gray (Gy) in the Soviet case at 1 to 15 mGy in the Japanese case.
8. In terms of the biosphere, in an area of four kilometers around Chernobyl, all the quadrants were killed, and in one area the mayor suffers from fatal deaths, while in Fukushima no deaths have been reported in some forests. .
Similarly, the Chernobyl radius reduces the number of invertebrates (such as insects, caracols or gusanos) by 30% on a radio between three and a half kilometers, and descends the number of rods.
In Fukushima, the animal population has not been affected, although it has provoked genetic deaths in some invertebrates.
