Deep Ecologists Chernobyl Disaster Perspective.

Previous information about the disaster:

  • Chernobyl was a nuclear plant.
  • Chernobyl is located in Ukraine and the disaster occurred on April 1986
  • The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed Soviet reactor design that was operated with inadequately by the personal.
  • Its consider as a consequence of the Cold War because of the insolation due to the conflict.
  • The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind.
  • 30 deaths that moment, a lot of other deaths after it and side effects on health and people development.
  • Acute Radiation syndrome got to 237. 28 of this people died almost immediately.
  • A lot of cancer cases have been diagnosed since this moment in near by areas. (thyroid)
  • Resettlement of areas from which people were relocated is ongoing.
Our perspective about this:
  • This kind of disaster can occur any time and its harming the environment.
  • If another of this explosions occur, this can be a very big step towards the point in Global Warming where we cant go back.
  • This type of technology is very effective but there is a need of high quality management and at the same time a very strict observation of the entire processes.
  • Humanity should begin to use alternative energy as wind energy consoles or water energy plants because this way we are not harming the environment.
  • Humans should only use the exact and necessary amount of energy because now a day we tend to use more energy that we need in unnecessary things. This promotes global warming.
