Сочинение на анлийском на тему: "чернобыльская катастрофа".

During the first three months after the accident, 31 people died, another 19 deaths from 1987 to 2004 can be attributed to its direct consequences. High doses of radiation to persons, mainly from emergency workers and liquidators, have served or, with a certain degree of probability, can cause four thousand additional deaths from long-term effects of radiation [1] [2]. However, these figures are significantly less than the number of victims attributed to the Chernobyl disaster by public opinion [4].

Unlike the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the explosion resembled a very powerful "dirty bomb" - radioactive contamination became the main striking factor.

The cloud formed from the burning reactor, spread various radioactive materials, and above all the radionuclides of iodine and cesium, for the most part of the territory of Europe. The largest fallouts were observed in large areas in the Soviet Union, located near the reactor and now belonging to the territories of the Republic of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine

The Chernobyl accident was an event of great social and political significance for the USSR. All this left a definite imprint on the course of the investigation of its causes. The approach to interpreting the facts and circumstances of the accident has changed over time, and there is still no consensus.

Chernobyl tragedy is a sad lesson for humanity. The most ambitious man-made disaster occurred on April 26, 1986, at the 4th block of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in a small satellite town called Pripyat. An incredible amount of deadly radioactive substances was in the air. In some places, the level of radiation pollution is thousands of times higher than the standard background radiation. it is now clear that after the explosion there will be another world - a land where it is impossible to sow, rivers in which you cannot swim and fish and houses ... in which you cannot live.Chernobyl - a ghost town .Currently, there is a Chernobyl Museum in Kiev, where you can see many interesting exhibits and learn about the tragic history of this place.
