PROCESS OF FINDINGS
The case study (Sozogaku.com, 2017) clarifies the design flaws and the human error which led to the innovation of future nuclear programs. After the disaster, Ukraine withheld information regarding the design flaws to protect their public image. Before we discuss the impact the Chernobyl Disaster had globally, it is essential that we analyze the impact it had on its own environment as well as the economy. The dense radiation contaminated significant agricultural products. Five years after the accident in 1991, the accident evaluation committee issued a report and accredited the accident to flaws in the RBMK reactor design. The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) also agreed that the nuclear station had design flaws. …show more content…
• Improvement of the response efficiency of the emergency protection system.
• Prevention of the emergency safety systems from being bypassed while the reactor is operating.
• Introduction of calculation programs to provide an indication of the value of the operating reactivity margin (the effective number of control rods remaining in the core) in the control room. (World-nuclear.org, 2017) This is closely linked with the research hypothesis as it clarifies the extent the Chernobyl disaster had on the environment. Fortunately, there were no ethical issues with regards to the improvements made by the government. Hence, the government was backed by globally to implement these changes. It is also clear that Japan improved their reactors as a response to this disaster. To date, there has been an ongoing debate with the Japanese about its safety.

Clearly there is a relationship between sources: (Sozogaku.com, 2017) and (Nei.org, 2017). The Nuclear Institute (pg5) gives clarification and important facts of the consequences. The accident that occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine (1986) is in fact the only accident in the history of nuclear power plant failures to cause extreme fatalities from contamination. Approximately twenty- eight staff and emergency workers died due to the exposure of radiation and thermal burns within four months of the disaster. It is believed that the accident was responsible for nearly 7000 cases of thyroid cancer. As of 2005, fifty children had died from the cancer. The immediate outcome was when they found ways to improve monitoring to ensure that the cancer is detected as early as possible; understandingly, when it is highly
