the report, timed to the 35th year since the Chernobyl nuclear reaction accident, contains a lot of interesting previously unknown information
the article is in russian, because the publishing it very recent, and I was unable to find any english article on the report, but here’s the google translated link to it
This is amazing and terrible. Thank you. Biggest takeaway for me, that accidents happened BEFORE:
Archival files indicate that accidents at the station happened before. So, in 1982, a significant release of radioactive substances occurred at the first power unit. The KGB report on this ends with the phrase “measures have been taken to prevent panic and provocative rumors.” In 1984, there were emergencies at power units 3 and 4.
yeah, non-public accidents prior to the accident in 1986 was probably the biggest part for me…
