Chernobyl. The history of the disaster

On the night of April 26, 1986, the reactor No. 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, laying the beginning of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. Based on more than ten years of work, records of hundreds of conversations, on personal correspondence, unrelated memories and recently declassified archival documents, journalist Adam Higginbots wrote a birch soul and an exciting work in which we see the Chernobyl disaster through the eyes of its first witnesses. The result was an expertly made documentary thriller, an exhausting report on the event that changed the story - much more complex, humane and frightening than the myth of Chernobyl to which we are accustomed.
“Chernobyl: the history of the catastrophe” is an indelible picture of one of the greatest misfortunes of the twentieth century and at the same time a document of human stamina and ingenuity, evidence of heavy lessons learned by humanity trying to submit nature to their will - lessons, which are in the face of the advancing changes in the climate and Other threats of modernity look not just important, but vital.
In the fall of 1986, by scientists of the Kurchatov Institute in the Chernobyl basement under the ruins of the 4th reactor, the “Eye of Eye” was discovered-the hardened mass of silicon, titanium, zirconium, magnesium and uranium, frozen radioactive lava containing all radionuclides from irradiated nuclear fuel . The substance remained so radioactive that five minutes next to it meant inevitable painful death.
