Imagine that a nuclear power plant exploded in your town. What would you tell the press if you survived? Chernobyl survivors have different stories, and Yuri Korneev is one of them. The Soviets tried to cover it up, and more people were hurt. Lots of radiation polluted the air and many organizations tried to help. Many things can go wrong and because of that many people were hurt. Chernobyl should have never happened, but there are some survivors.
Survivors of Chernobyl live on to tell different stories. People like Leonid Telyatnikov had burns on his hands and feet, and they thought it was contagious so he couldn’t see his family for a while. People called the Police and Fireman on April 26, 1986 at 3 in the morning. The Police were the ones who evacuated everyone near, but some stayed for 3 days and 3 nights without any protection or a mask. …show more content…
Yuri Korneev a turbine operator was in charge of reactor #4 after he failed the safety test and it was now in the hands of the people in the operating room, so he was told to pay attention to reactor #8. The explosion in reactor #7 destroyed the reinforced concrete. Yuri Korneev went to the hospital and drank alcohol and it cleared the radiation in his body.
Soviets didn’t do anything. They were silent for three days. After that they made only a brief statement.
Many casualties happened during Chernobyl. 31 people died the next day because of radiation and 1000’s more died later. People were born with disorders like they had 6 fingers on a hand, and bigger glands, so children stayed inside. Children were affected the most. Birth rates fell because of defections and the people who did have babies they were called the Children of Chernobyl.
Lots of radiation polluted the air. Forest was crossed off. It affected Britain’s crops and even Canada and America. The blast was 10 times bigger than an atomic bomb and reached Kiev, which is 50 miles
