Abstract Introduction Cronology Impacts & Consequences Lessons
Chernobyl accident was the worst nuclear accident
in the world. It happened because the procedural
error. It was affect badly to the environment,
people’s healthy and also social economic. Inspite
of its bad impact there was many lessons learn
have to taken to enhance the nuclear itself for our
better future.

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant
Located 11 miles north of the city of Chernobyl
Developed since 1954, and operated 1973-1975
Consist of 4 RMBK reactors
Produced 10% Ukraine’s electricity
Due to the error of procedural, accident occured
On 26 April 1986 and released radioactive
materials

Abstract Introduction Cronology Impacts & Consequences Lessons
•On midnight 25 April 1986 trial is started. Reactor power
was reduced to 1600 MWT.
•At 0:28 am April 26 to power down again and operator
made a mistake ACS setting, so that the reactor power
drops drastically to only 30 MWT
•At 1:00 o'clock the operator managed to raise reactor
power to be 200 MWT by lifting number of control rods
from the reactor.

• At 01:19 the operator tries raise the pressure and water
level using a pump feeder.
• At 01.19,30 a water level required in the steam drum is
reached, but operators continue to add water feeder.
• At 01.22,30 operators see parameters on the reactor
system monitor. The data show that the operator must
shutdown reactor in a situation automatic shutdown
mechanism is not such work. But what happens
operators continue to experiment.

• At trial 01.23,04 begins again with the 200 MWT, and main steam
flow valve to the turbine number 8 is turned off.
• After a while then the reactor power raises fast but it so
late to shutdown reactors because alarm was sounded.
• Emergency system is not able to cope with these
conditions, Less than a second after the first explosion a
second explosion followed immediately caused by entry of
air into the terrace which causes the fuel and some
elements react with oxygen and burn awesome.

Three categories of populations who are exposed radiation caused by
the Chernobyl accident are:
1. Emergency workers and liquidators (recovery operation
workers) who worked in the Chernobyl reactor and are
in the exclusion zone after the accident
2. Residents who were evacuated from the area
contaminated next
3. Residents who live in the area contaminated but not
evacuated.

Thyroid Cancer
One of the principal radionuclides released by
the Chernobyl accident was iodine-131, which
was significant for the first months.
The thyroid gland accumulates iodine from
the blood stream as part of its normal
next

Leukemia An increased risk of leukemia associated with radiation
exposure from Chernobyl was, therefore, expected among
the populations exposed.
The most recent studies suggest a two-fold increase in the
incidence of non-CLL leukemia between 1986 and 1996 in
Russian emergency and recovery operation workers
exposed to more than 150 mGy (external dose).

Solid cancer different from Thyroid Cancer and Leukimia.
Solid Cancer
Its because their different in sensitivity to radiation in
terms of the minimal latency period, the time
dependency of risk and the dose-response relationship.
The data of solid cancer caused by Chernobyl accident
placed in UNSCEAR 200. And its not have any kind of
change until now.

The disaster has placed a huge burden on national budget, the
expenditure related to:
• Actions to seal off the reactor
• Resettlement of people and construction
• Social protection and health care
• Research on environment, health and production of clean food
• Radiation monitoring
• Radioecological improvement
• losses relating to the opportunity cost

In agriculture site, the level of radioactivity of agricultural
plants and plant-consuming animals was dominated by
surface deposits of radio nuclides
Radioactive material contaminated the aquatic systems and
absorbed to the soil. Its affect the creature in that aquatic

Abstract Introduction Cronology Impacts & Consequences Lessons
Positive impacts of the accident:
Chernobyl accident became a reference point for the construction of nuclear
powerplants
In the progress of next-generation NPP such as PWR, BWR, CANDU, AGR, ABWR,
System 80 + and FBR, the principle of safety is to prevent the possibility of
accidents and to minimize the impact if an accident occurs
Nuclear power plants is designed to be able to withstand extreme incident
Chernobyl accident does not make the trauma and stop all nuclear activities but
rather spur them to further improve safety culture and reactor design safety.
