There werent any radio-controlled aircraft equipped with dosimetric devices. There were also issues with elementary culture. A considerable number of the staff were injured. After all this study, 2400 tons of lead was dropped there by the helicopter services with great Thats why I advised to use additional thermocouple temperature measurements that would be conducted from the ground. 
If a customer asks if you have a particular feature, although they were really invented on the fly, has been dispatched to the plant. Hi, I came to this blog after reading and watching about Chernobyl and these are amazing! This is its distinctive feature, if we exclude some specific facilities. Valery Alekseevich Legasov About the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant Academician V. Legasov (text from cassette N1) He is not in any way timid or sluggish at making decisions. In this video he speaks with a journalist about exactly the same thing - the crimson sky that he described in this tape, a few years later. Legasov worked without rest, often not paying attention to the dosimeter, a device that measures dose uptake of external ionizing radiation. . After the evacuation was completed, the Commission was still in Pripyat for a couple of days, but after that moved to the regional party committee building in Chernobyl and as well as into a military camp. I must say that all physicists, especially Viktor Alekseevich Sidorenko, felt that the conditions would only change for the worse, and insisted on the mandatory evacuation. https://youtu.be/926ShgBaWZ8?t=657 Immediately it became evident that the leaders of the station and the leaders of the Ministry of Energetics were confused. His departure shocked readers and the scientific community, and the causes of the accident were again discussed. Two explosions happened and that caused the destruction of the reactor building. WebThe following piece of audio is a self-made recording in English, based on the original Russian transcripts from the recorded tapes of Valery Legasov. Testifying in court during the final episode, Legasov says, Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Adding links to such interesting documents provide more depth to Legasov's words, so we will definitely discuss the possibility of translation of this source. By the evening of the 26th, we had tried out all the possible active zone flooding possibilities. He saw his main goal was not in justifying the Soviet Union and hide certain information, but, on the contrary, to educate the world community on what to do in such situations, Inga told Russian newspaper, MK. From one side most of the staff and leaders acted very bravely and were ready for any required action. From the first flight, it became clear that the entire reactor had been destroyed. They used very long rods to lower the thermocouples. They started flyovers above the 4th block to asses the situation. He listened very carefully (I thought that it would be hard for the country to supply so much material in a matter of days) and as I got to know later, ordered 6000 tons of lead, because he thought that we could have made a mistake in our calculations and it would be better to have surplus lead instead of not having enough. At this time Aym96/Wikimedia In all my life, it never occurred to me that I would have to start this part of my life. Because graphite burns uniformly, generating whitish burning products, same as in an ordinary chemical reaction. 
. Yet, these particles agglomerated in the air and fell down again within the station territory. This was very disturbing and made the situation very unusual. Because we could miss the lower stabilisation temperature levels. He understood quite well what he was doing and how much radiation he was being exposed to.. The station was under the supervision of our neighboring Ministry of Energetics. a specialized armored vehicle, used by the military to recon the nuclear blast areas. It was clear that in the first few days, because of the way air masses were flowing and because of the material drops in the reactor, the contamination was spreading with the dust. Unfortunately this meant that the information was disseminated only verbally - they visited each house, also posted notices. One of the first to grasp the scale of the catastrophe, Valery Legasov was on hand to mitigate the consequences. Mayorec was already there; he had arrived even before the Government Commission. It is clear that dropping anything from a height of 200m created a complex situation around the 4th block. The website Meduza pointed out that transcripts of Legasov's memoirs are available on the internet, like on the website Pseudology. A scientist was needed to join the state commission and all Alexandrovs deputies from the Kurchatov Institute were unreachable. We will put a link your your site also.It took us around 9 months to translate and spell-check. Can you help? WebOne of the first to grasp the scale of the catastrophe, Valery Legasov was on hand to mitigate the consequences. And this part is tragic, confusing and incomprehensible. Boris Eudokimovich Scherbina was an intelligent man, with the railway engineering degree (Masters degree by modern standards) and exceptional organisational skills. WebValery Alekseyevich Legasov was born on September 1, 1936, in Tula, Russian SFSR, into a family of civil workers. Hi, how would I cite this in a research paper? 
weight 450 tons 
Is this completely accurate and could it be used in a research project? http://accidont.ru/evid02.html). 100% authentic - Legasov's own voice. They, however, didnt really know whether the evacuation would be temporary, because it was impossible to predict the contamination levels beforehand. I have to start the part where I create my memoir. This was quite unexpected. 16th head office of medium machine building ministry was dealing with nuclear power, He lived in a private house in a special district, Elite scientists of such level as Legasov had personal drivers, housekeepers and other similar services provided for free by the ministry, a specialized armored vehicle, used by the military to recon the nuclear blast areas. There's a dot between 'al' and 'uk138'? Same for the 3rd block which was in the same building as the 4th block. 5 most deadly industrial and transportation disasters in the USSR, How Hollywood feeds lies about Soviet history, Chernobyl is NOT Russia: A geography lesson of the disaster. Based on their data, we adopted one or another decision. Anatoly got a call via the vertushka [the nickname for a closed state telephone line]. This may have indicated that the reactor was still working. I don't speak any Russian at all, but I could help edit the translations into more fluent and lyrical English if that would be of interest or help? But they were soon passed to Gubarev and cleared for publication in Pravda. 
Testifying in court during the final episode, Legasov says, Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. . And this part is tragic, confusing and incomprehensible. WebTapes did exist but whetver it was Legasov himself who recorded is unknown. This opening scene of HBOs Chernobyl mini-series sets the tone for the horrific story of the 1986 nuclear disaster and Valery Legasov, a prominent Soviet inorganic chemist, who played a key role in Chernobyls response team and subsequent investigation into its causes. Two people had died, others were in the hospitals and that the radiation conditions in the station were rather complex. Around 11 a.m. on the 26th of April, Boris Evdokimovich [Scherbina], after considering all our recommendations, decided to go ahead with the mandatory evacuation. 
I already corrected it once and it still got here. That is how an RBMK reactor core explodes. I am blind, but this handicap should not stop meI try to learn Russian language and hope, this knowledge could help, but how to deal with?Ochh folks, I am thinkink about and there may be way, not abroad, but right in the Russian federationHave you ever seen the web pages of the Ingalery foundation or even visited the Ingalery in Moscow? There are so many different interpretations of how and why this happened, that it is in a way my duty to tell what I know, how I see and understand it and how had I witnessed the events that occured. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Additionally the same thing was done to surfaces that could create dust. This cloud itself was a kind of protection against the aerosol particles which could have been carried away to large distances otherwise. He adored her.. That is wrong because the engine room had a lot of oil, hydrogen inside the generators and other sources that could not only start a fire, but could even cause another explosion that would devastate the 3rd block. Also, we didnt know the temperature inside the core. But they were soon passed to Gubarev and cleared for publication in Pravda. This was proposed by Boris Veneaminovich Gidaspov, a member of the Science Academy, who had come to help the scientists that worked there (this was later, around the 10th of May). Sooner or later, that debt is paid. In other words, this phrase does not sound like him at all and it is unlikely he ever said that. All of this had to be invented and organized on the spot, successfully or otherwise. During the initial days in Pripyat, food was delivered: cucumbers, tomatoes, sausages, Pepsi-cola bottles, lemonades. 
The website Meduza pointed out that transcripts of Legasov's memoirs are available on the internet, like on the website Pseudology. WebSo difficult for valery legasov tapes transcript for themselves walked quicker than a transcript for retirement, if a grid ratio. 
And so, the first team which went in there had to immediately to start the reactor shutdown procedure of the 1st and 2nd blocks. If using any of Russia Beyond's content, partly or in full, always provide an active hyperlink to the original material. However we do change some phrases when there is clearly an error or contextual meaning that would disappear after translation.What research project do you want to use it for? Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. We didnt get precise information here, so we got into our cars as soon as we could and set off for the station. The Government Commissions session was led very vigorously in his usual manner by Boris Yevdokimovich Shcherbina. I tried to explain to him that there was no possibility of dropping iron shot because of the reasons I mentioned earlier. A few words about the conditions in which the Government Commission had been functioning. At the age of 36, he was awarded a doctorate of chemistry, and at the age of 45 - became one of the youngest members of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). We quickly organised members into groups, each with its own task. 27) and worked on mitigating the consequences of the reactor explosion. We met people that were ready to do any job in any circumstances. It is a rather good sorbent of radionuclides. But it was done as a hobby. 
The station was 140km from Kiev. 
Later, after a few days, when the arrangements improved, proper dining tents were set up, proper sanitary and hygienic practices were put in place. Because when 200kg of weight falls from a height of 200m it throws up dust, and that dust carries some radioactivity with it. To our surprise, or at least to my surprise, we were not presented with sufficiently precise information of the situation both on the station and in the city. The report of minister Efim Pavlovich Slavsky began, and it was rather dull, standard and mundane. At Vnukovo, I found out that the head of the Government Commission was Boris Evdokimovich Scherbina, the chairman of the Bureau of Fuel-energetic Complex. He said to me that, as planned in advance, teams were gathering to respond to each hazard and either go to the site itself, or coordinate from a distance, and take over control of the station personnel. This wasn't rejected, but as far as I know, even now no such information group has been created. With great difficulty I managed to find the head of the department that developed and supported stations with RBMK reactors (the same type as in Chernobyl) - Alexander Konstantinovich Kulagin. I invited two or three experienced journalists to it. Hello! One of them had died from mechanical injuries under collapsed construction material and another from thermal burns, that is, from fire. Afghanistan veteran pilots did this job. bathroom stuff, Decorations, pots, grill, chairs, plant pot, tablecloth, kitchen stuff, gardening tools etc., etc., etc.? After taking all the necessary documentation and receiving from Comrade Kalugin some understanding about the structure of the station and the possible issues that could occur, I dropped by 
Testifying in court during the final episode, Legasov says, Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. So my father went to Vnukovo [airport] and left for Chernobyl the same day.. He, as usual, was praising the atomic energy program and the progress that had been achieved. Only eight years after his suicide in 1996 did Legasov receive a posthumous honorary title of Hero of the Russian Federation for the "courage and heroism" shown in his investigation of the disaster, awarded by then-president Boris Yeltsin. All this meant that this was a good choice. They continued till the 12th-15th of May with the main drops ending as said on the 2nd of May. It was calm and quiet there, all was ordinary. If a customer asks if you have a particular feature, although they were really invented on the fly, has been dispatched to the plant. 16th head office His decisions helped save millions of lives, but he paid the ultimate price. The 26th of April, 1986 was a Saturday, a beautiful day and I was thinking of either going to my university department and finishing something for them, or maybe letting things slide and going with my wife, Margarita Mikhailovna, and my friend to rest somewhere, or of going to the party activists meeting that was scheduled at 10 oclock at the Ministry which supervises our Institute - The Kurchatov Nuclear Institute. Judging by radioactivity outflow from the 4th block, its quantity and dynamics, our actions were quite effective, and a considerable amount of radioactivity was localized and did not spread to large distances, except for Cesium and Strontium - the most easily melted elements. To make sure of this, I had to get into that APC, go near the reactor. The radiation conditions allowed to perform any sorts of actions only from the air, and only from a height of more than 200m above the reactor, which meant that we didnt have any technical means to put that graphite fire out in a traditional way, for instance with water or foam. This was the main period when we dropped materials into the reactor. It was clear that the firemen who had extinguished the fires in Legasov was also the person who delivered a five-hour oral report on the causes of the disaster at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna - an honest and detailed report that calmed down the international community but angered colleagues at home. We didnt know this during the trip there, we just were trying to guess the scale of the event. When I try to open this google doc, it tells me I don't have access. So we had ourselves a new difficult task: the graphite burns at a speed of 1 ton per hour, there was 2500 tons of graphite in the 4th block, so for Equipped with many measurement devices, maybe incorrect, looks that something was not mentioned or poorly written down or a number mismatch in converting speech to text, He said thinking process but in a group of scientists brainstorming is a modern and better understandable replacement of just thinking, Afghanistan veteran pilots did this job. And then I left for Vnukovo. I know it is not in the scope of this project to translate other Chernobyl related material but there is a lot of valuable information out there that might warrant such an effort (e.g. On the second or third day, I think, I offered to organise an information group within the Government Commission. Valery Alekseyevich Legasov was a Soviet inorganic chemist and a member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Valery Alekseevich Legasov About the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant Academician V. Legasov (text from cassette N1) In this way, the sum of all actions allowed us to seal the 4th block and to create a layer of filtering materials, prevent melting of the fuel itself by blocking many of endothermic reactions. This confusion was seen even in small things. These were the localisation efforts. Father checked the numbers over and over again. After recording five audio tapes containing information about Chernobyl, he goes outside to hide them away from the watchful eye of KGB agents. This blog is dedicaded to the text that comes from academician V.Legasov audio tapes which he recorded after the Chernobyl accident and not long before his death. 16th head office of medium machine building ministry was dealing with nuclear power Perhaps that was a wrong decision, because some of those cars were contaminated, and the dosimetric posts had not yet been organized to control What did they need to do in such a situation? However, I will speak about this a bit later. the engine room They, however, didnt really know whether the evacuation would be temporary, because it was impossible to predict the contamination levels beforehand. Sometimes scientists and specialists would spend a few days at our place. But that radioactivity, which would be carried out with the smoke, would heavily contaminate a considerable area. As a result, the uranium oxide fuel elements would melt and stop producing additional radioactive particles. It was clear that this was the graphite that had been burning and each particle of it carried with it a significant amount of radioactivity. Immediately after we had decided how to cool down the reactor in the 4th block, the discussion about Pripyat started. of Medium Machine Building Ministry, under whose supervision our entire university was, walked up and said calmly but with disappointment, that an unpleasant accident had happened at the Chernobyl Station. Legasov(O.k., i know, nick name sounds little bit crazzy), Hi, I am a native English speaker and am really interested in Chernobyl and all the events surrounding it. All this was delivered to relatively dirty rooms, and was prepared for eating in the same place with bare hands. This is Tape 1, part 2. Very basic, but it enabled keeping people's hands, and the food itself, safe from contamination. Initially, it was head of state Mikhail Gorbachev who should have done it, but the leader decided it should be Legasov, a scientist who had worked at the site. This was done by the services of Government Hydro-Metric Commission and by General Pikanows services, as well as the station services. 56 in Moscow and graduated with a gold medal. the evacuation was temporary But some simple, repetitive tasks could have been done by small crewless, radio-controlled aircrafts. This is what occupied us on our hour-long flight. 
From the second day, we started receiving advice from abroad, for example using various liquid solutions. Later, dolomite was also added to act as a heat sink and a source of carbon dioxide to smother the fire. It is not hard to guess, why right that name, you knowYes, this amazing filantrophy project was founded by Inga Valerejevna Legasova :-)She is so kind, highly educated, active and amazing woman: Daughter of two great people, Valerij Aleksejevic and Margarita MichaljevnaAnother NGO cofounded by Inga Valerejevna is The union of women forces and I think, there could be also the way, how to "say: Thank you folks for this project" She is also active member of The union of women in the Ortodox church of Russia, the owner and cofounder of Remilling 2000 and othersHave you ever seen some stuff for households, cottages, camping etc. His departure shocked readers and the scientific community, and the causes of the accident were again discussed. April 26 was Saturday. He was a patriot and grieved for what that happened, for the country, for people that suffered His empathy was disturbed and, it seems, it did eat him up from the inside., Plus, as she recalls, the radiation sickness didnt make it easier. WebValery Legasov Audiotapes CC Tape 1 Part 2 YouTube. Facts and history should be precisely as they were in the original. And the medics sort of supported this. WebThe following piece of audio is a self-made recording in English, based on the original Russian transcripts from the recorded tapes of Valery Legasov. It was almost by accident that he found himself included in the state commission on response to the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986, his daughter Inga Legasova recalls. Inside the crater, glowing spots of intense crimson were seen. After that, Ukraine representatives, comrade Plyusch and comrade Nikolaev, started to prepare for the evacuation of the city scheduled for the next day. . I will mention only one example of his work. Thanks to my experience, coming from other workplaces, I quickly determined the cause of this damage - a volumetric explosion of the power of 3 to 4 tons of TNT. General Berdov led this work, and also organized the task of informing the public so that they dont come out of their houses. The history of the Soviet union is, at least, partly also our history. The reasoning behind our decisions was this. This website uses cookies. He already knew about the disaster and that they had received a very bad alarm signal from the station the night before. Immediately it became evident that the leaders of the station and the leaders of the Ministry of Energetics were confused. We had to develop non-traditional ways of solving this problem. Thats why the most precise information about the state of the reactor was gathered from the ratio of short-lived and long-lived isotopes of iodium 134 and 131. It is known that nuclear power stations are very clean and accurate, with all their facilities and pipes which usually dont output anything visible into the air. 
After performing those initial estimates about the reactor activity, the next problems began to be of a major concern to us. The GC also changed their mind about this as Legasov says later on This is Tape 1, part 2. Valery Alekseevich Legasov About the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant annotation The text of the five cassette tapes, dictated by Academician Legasovym V.A. He was appointed by the Soviet Government to investigate the Chernobyl disaster less than 24 hours after it occurred Valery Legasov was the chief investigator of the Chernobyl accident. For example, the operators of 1st and 2nd blocks didnt leave their posts. More than some good will come of it as we struggle to figure out how to live together on the planet. Some stayed in the villages they were evacuated to, others immediately got tickets and went to their relatives. There was no precise and sensible plan of action. It hadnt been shut down in time and had pulled in some contaminated air where people continued to work. The Deputy Chairman of the Government Nuclear Energy Supervision Bureau was also assigned to this commission. 
Boris Eudokimovich Scherbina was an intelligent man, with the railway engineering degree (Masters degree by modern standards) and exceptional organisational skills. That is how an RBMK reactor core explodes. The upper For the work in this field (most notably for the Bartlett-Legasov effect) Valery received numerous state awards. The case of Valery is mysterious and unsettling to this day. Later came the steps to prevent melted radioactive material from reaching the water in the lower cooling system, so a tunnel was built to prevent radioactives from reaching groundwater. in the supermarkets or hypermarkets elsewhere in the Russia? Before the start of the meeting, Nikolai Ivanovich Yermakov, the head of the Warning: heartwrenching discussion of the aftermath of the earthquake, three patriotic volunteers dive into radioactive water to The headquarters were in the City party committee building. All these measures were, I repeat, planned on the evening of the 26th of April. In other words all our thoughts were about the upcoming work. Its clear that a human is irreplaceable when one has to perform certain complex tasks like a cargo drop or some other operation involving large devices placed on a helicopter. 240 hours During the initial days, all this hadnt been organized and this was shocking. It was led by comrade Petrov who had arrived here earlier. Nearby there was a hotel, a very good one, where the local authorities met us.

If we could, we would sleep in a nearby hotel. Boris Scherbina had immediately called the NBC, which arrived very quickly with General Pikalov in command. It is a very green, very pleasant city, like a quiet countryside - this was the impression we got when driving through there. Then, by making radiochemistry measurements quite quickly we established that no short-lived iodium isotopes were being produced and hence the reactor was not operational and was in sub-critical state. Moreover, many of them either hadnt been charged, or the people had not been instructed on how to use them and when to recharge them.
