Memorial to those killed in the Chernobyl disaster. Memorial to those killed in the Chernobyl disaster 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident events

"Trouble..

Chernobyl...

Human…"

The words are heard behind the scenes
The groan of the Earth.

Rotating in space, in captivity of its orbit,

Not a year, not two, but billions of years,

I'm so tired... My flesh is covered

Scars of wounds - there is no living place.

Steel torments my earthly body,

And poisons poison the waters of clean rivers,

All that I had and have,

A person considers his good.

I don't need rockets and shells

But my ore goes to them,

What does the state of Nevada cost me?

There are a series of underground explosions.

Why are people so afraid of each other?

Have you forgotten about the earth itself?

After all, I can die and stay

A charred grain of sand in the smoky haze.

Is it not because, burning with vengeance,

I rebel against the forces of madness,

And, shaking the Firmament with an earthquake,

I give an answer to all my grievances

And it’s no coincidence that the formidable volcanoes

I throw out the pain of the earth with lava...
Wake up, people!

Call on the countries

To save me from death.

And there was sun! And it was spring!
And I wanted to live! Oh, how I wanted to live!
Nature has risen from sleep,
And everything began to spin in a spring waltz.
And children's laughter spilled out from everywhere
A ringing song of future happiness!
He promised to bloom the earth forever!
In spring it’s so hard to believe in bad weather...

The music stops. Loud explosion... On the screen there is a video of the explosion, freeze frame.
The presenters and the reader slowly come out. The reader reads on the go.

READER 1: The earth and air are fraught with evil, -
Fruits and grains and flowers and herbs -
Death brings everything, poison exhausts everything,
Breath of destructive poison.
Chernobyl is an ominous star,
Invisible, like rock, burning above us.
In the anxiety and sadness of the city,
And fear numbs the villages.
PRESENTER 1: Good afternoon, dear friends!

Many springs have passed since then,

The twentieth century has ended

But the topic is not closed yet:

Trouble...

Chernobyl…

Human…

PRESENTER 2: : On April 26, 1986, the worst disaster in human history occurred. And 30 years later, this day makes us think about the possible consequences of human activity, about our unpayable debt to those who, risking their own lives, saved the world from a radioactive disaster. The memory of the tragedy will remain an unhealed wound in the soul of our people.

SPEAKER 1: The feat accomplished by the liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident will never be forgotten. It is sad to realize that every day these heroes are becoming fewer and fewer. We should all remember their feat.

PRESENTER 2: The measure of horror for us is war. Chernobyl is worse.
SPEAKER 1: This is a war with an invisible enemy. War without shooting and bullets.
PRESENTER 2: We want to tell you how it was...
READER2:
Second o'clock in the morning. Everything is quiet…
Suddenly there is an explosion and a burst of steam into the air...
And the sirens howled madly,
Death and life entered into the struggle.
The world shook. The news is broadcast.
It buzzes in different languages.
Not over Chernobyl, over the world,
Radiation fear hung over.

Pause. The presenter-readers remain on stage. The bell sounds in the background.
READER 3: The dull bell is ringing,
Slightly audible distant.
I listen, I cry and remain silent...
SPEAKER 1: 1 hour 23 minutes 40 seconds - 187 control and protection system rods entered the core to shut down the reactor. The chain reaction had to be broken. However, after 3 seconds, alarm signals were registered for exceeding the reactor power and increasing pressure. And after another 4 seconds - a dull explosion that shook the entire building. The emergency protection rods stopped before they were even halfway through.

READER4: A pillar of fire shot up into the sky.
And the explosion scattered the block block.
The earth froze in horror,
Raised on the rack by misfortune.

PRESENTER 2: From the roof of the fourth power unit, like from the mouth of a volcano, sparkling clumps began to fly out. They rose high up. It looked like fireworks. The clumps scattered into multi-colored sparks and fell in different places. A black fireball soared up, forming a cloud that stretched horizontally into a black cloud and went to the side, spreading death, disease and misfortune in the form of small, small drops.

PRESENTER 1: On the territory of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, people stepped over the wreckage; later, due to the high level of radiation, robots could not pass there: they “went crazy.”

SPEAKER 2: And at that time people were still working inside. There is no roof, part of the wall is destroyed... The lights went out, the phone went off. Floors are collapsing. The floor is shaking. The premises are filled with either steam, fog, or dust. Short circuit sparks flash. Radiation monitoring devices are off the charts. Hot radioactive water flows everywhere.
READER 5: Fire and darkness are an invisible enemy.
One step to death - then immortality.
No shootings, no attacks.
But to live only this way is at the cost of death.

On the screen, an electronic clock counts down the seconds.
SPEAKER 1: 1 hour 26 minutes 03 seconds - the fire alarm went off.
PRESENTER 2: 1 hour 28 minutes - the station duty guard arrived at the scene of the accident. After 7 minutes the Pripyat guard arrived.
READER6: The fight against the elements took place at an altitude of 27 to 72 meters, and inside the premises of the fourth power unit, the station personnel on duty were engaged in extinguishing. The firefighters did not know that the reactor had been opened.

PRESENTER 1: 2 hours 10 minutes - the fire on the roof of the turbine room was knocked down. After 20 minutes, the fire on the roof of the reactor compartment was suppressed.
SPEAKER 2: 4 hours 50 minutes - the fire is mostly contained.
PRESENTER 1: 6 hours 35 minutes - the fire has been extinguished.

PRESENTER 2: As a result of a nuclear accident, the largest catastrophe of our time occurred, resulting in numerous human casualties and radioactive contamination of the territory of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. The Chernobyl explosion released at least 130 million curies of a wide variety of radioactive substances into the environment, scattering them over an area of ​​more than 56 thousand square kilometers.

READER7: Yes, a lot depends on people!
My planet hangs by a thread
A push - and there are neither adults nor children,
No snowy winters, no sunny summers...
PRESENTER 1: Every time has its own heroes. But this time people were faced with an enemy worse than plague, flood, earthquake, and even worse than an aggressor armed to the teeth. This enemy was imperceptible and invisible. He is cruel and cunning, ruthless and deadly.
SPEAKER 2: They did their job. But the situation was unusual - a reactor was “breathing” a deadly breath nearby. The fire spread across the roof of the turbine room. The terrible unbearable heat forced us to take off our respirators. The bitumen melted and flowed, filling the air with a disgusting, suffocating fume. The huge ceiling above the machine room and the auxiliary building fell with a crash. The molten coating burned through shoes, clothes, and burned the body.
SPEAKER 1: But there was no time to think about your safety. The station had to be saved. People were weakened by terrible smoke, unbearable heat, enormous doses of radiation, and pain. They lost strength and fell. But they survived! They saved the station, closed it with themselves and prevented an even greater disaster that could have happened. But this was only the beginning of the trouble.
PRESENTER 2: Volunteers were sent from all over the country, the former USSR, to eliminate the consequences of this accident. They washed away radioactive dust from vehicles with water, disinfected roofs and asphalt.

PRESENTER 1: Danger was in the air!.. The rescuers received a large dose of radiation. And this affected their health. The consequences were not long in coming. Many of the liquidators, as they are still called today, passed away, and many became disabled.
PRESENTER 2: It is impossible to imagine the depth of the consequences that the Chernobyl disaster could have brought if not for the courage and heroism of the people who took part in eliminating the consequences of the disaster.
READER8: Let us remember those who drove the cascades,
There were rafter panels on the roof.

Let's remember those who were on the cranes,
He loaded lead and transported concrete.

Presenter 2 Dedicated to the memory of the victims -

A minute of silence.

Fire Dance

Every day more and more liquidators are joining this list. We must not allow the memory of the heart to be cut short, so that descendants, having forgotten the past, will once again go down the path of mistakes! Remember Chernobyl! Don’t let a second Chernobyl happen again somewhere on Earth!

PRESENTER 1: 20 thousand citizens of the Oryol region took part in the liquidation of the accident. Among them are our fellow countrymen. on the 30th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, only 10 people remained:

PRESENTER 2: from the village. Long: Elbrus Hakobyan

Dmitry Vlasov

Nikolay Petukhov

Evgeniy Petrov

Nikolay Raspopov

Alexander Sukhinin

PRESENTER 1 from Krovtsova Plot: Nikolay Stepanov

Ivan Yagupov

Mikhail Zhivotov from K. Demyanovsky

Mikhail Doronin from the village. Nikolskoye

These people are strong in spirit, capable of great self-sacrifice. Almost all have orders and awards from the government, as well as medals “For saving the dead.” Praise to them, honor and glory!

Song to the Liquidators

PRESENTER 1: The accident caused large-scale radioactive contamination of the area not only in Ukraine, but also far beyond its borders. Radioactive contamination has been recorded in more than 30 countries around the world.
PRESENTER 2: One of the most important tasks in eliminating the consequences of the accident was isolating the destroyed reactor and preventing the release of radioactive substances into the environment. The first stage of her solution was the construction of a shelter, which was called a sarcophagus.
READER9: Turning away from the red forest,
Radiating anxiety and fear,
In the center of the zone above the Chernobyl nuclear power plant wound
The sarcophagus, gray as an elephant, froze.
PRESENTER 1: The height of the “sarcophagus” was 61 meters, the greatest thickness of the walls was 18 meters. According to the safety characteristics, the sarcophagus is designed to last only 20-30 years and is gradually destroyed.
SPEAKER 2: Work is currently underway on the construction of a new shelter over the Arch object. It is designed for 100 years of safe operation.
PRESENTER 1: For work in the area of ​​the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, armored vehicles with increased protection from radiation were used, but this practically did not help. After a week of use, they had to be buried in burial grounds, since the metal began to literally “glow” from radiation. The largest such cemetery is located in the village of Rassokha, 25 km from the nuclear power plant.
READER 10: Forgotten well, guardian of a deserted village,
An unmown, gray, aging meadow under the sun.
And the dome in the distance is golden, the holy monastery,
And the empty city suddenly appears in front of him.
And strange people, dressed out of season,
And everything you see around is called a zone.
SPEAKER 2: A complete evacuation of residents was carried out from a zone with a radius of 30 km from the exploded reactor.
PRESENTER 1: On the outskirts of the city of Khoiniki there is a monument to the villages lost as a result of the Chernobyl disaster. A sculpture of a grieving woman against the background of a semicircular wall with the names of dead villages of the Khoiniki region. There are 21 settlements on the wall. These are only relatively large non-residential villages - there are many more small ones...
READER11: Everything stopped and froze suddenly,
There was a terrible groan from Chernobyl.
Forgotten villages have stood since then,
Looking at life through window openings.

PRESENTER 2: Chernobyl. Now the whole world knows this word. We still feel the consequences of this tragedy. Mutations in contaminated areas, the birth of children with congenital pathologies, cancer and leukemia. It's very scary! The enemy is invisible and he does not sleep!

PRESENTER 1: The thirty-kilometer zone remains uninhabited. Because not only people suffered, but also nature - meadows, fields, forests, birds and animals. Everything that used to please the eye and benefit man has become dangerous for him.
PRESENTER 2: The Chernobyl zone has been erased from life for 500, and maybe even a thousand years, no one knows what and when science will be able to do to bring it back to life.

READER 12: Pripyat has become a dead city,
You won't find more people there.
Tragedy fear is still alive there,
And it won't affect history.

The houses are empty, no conversations can be heard,
There are no trains going there anymore.
And the disputes about that grief do not subside,
The star over the station of happiness went out.

We will mourn the unfortunate victims,
Let us remember the heroes of Chernobyl years.
Years go by, about the tragedies of the past
That painful trail is still fresh.

The grief echoed from Chernobyl,
And innocent people suffered.
Those who were in a quarrel were instantly reconciled
But the outcome was merciless for everyone
PRESENTER 1: Today, among the many tons of abandoned equipment that cannot be decontaminated and therefore cannot even be melted down, wild boars roam, wild herds of horses gallop, and giant heads of mutant catfish emerge from the pond of the former reactor cooler.
PRESENTER 2: It’s sad, but the fate of the zone is determined: it is destined to become a burial place for liquid and solid nuclear waste...Ukraine...Europe.
READER13: There is a sacred custom of the Slavs:
Leave your land to your descendants.
I am a traitor to my land
My garden is dying.
He caresses his gaze with the sated weight of apples,
It's not easy to come to terms with death.
We are rooted in this land,
We alienate ourselves from it through fear.
Even the enemy failed to take our land,
How can we escape from it now?
I put a crown of thorns on her
This dead Chernobyl zone.

PRESENTER 2: Just as in Japan a crane in the hands of a child became a symbol of peace, so Chernobyl had a symbol, it became the Chernobyl stork.
№ 5. “Chernobyl Stork” (clip of the same name)
PRESENTER 1: After Chernobyl, nuclear energy suffered a severe blow, but our science, our designers and planners began to try to make nuclear energy safer.
According to scientists, society will come to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop nuclear energy as the safest and cheapest way to supply electricity. Progress cannot be stopped! In Russia, the future lies in nuclear energy!

PRESENTER 2: And we hope that built according to all the rules and with an understanding of all the responsibility that lies on the shoulders of adult husbands, scientists, designers, builders and workers of modern nuclear power plants, our houses will always be filled with light, warmth and children's laughter, and Nature and people, and therefore our globe, will not be threatened.

It doesn't matter who presses the button first,

And the poor planet has a charred mouth,

He shouts: “What are you people doing to me?

Understand, earthlings, you are in a bond!

You will fly together to thermonuclear hell.

I close my eyes - the oceans are boiling.

It's time for now! But time does not wait.

Today the ice has broken on Pripyat.

Chernobyl, Chernobyl - universal pain!

Fight for blind souls.

Didn't you cover me with yourself?

And the West is your terrible lesson

Will not understand?

PRESENTER 2: Our program is ending, we told you about the events that happened 30 years ago and we hope that such a tragedy will never happen again!

PRESENTER 1: People, be vigilant! Don't let all life on Earth die!

Chernobyl is a memory for many centuries.
Chernobyl is an inconsolable grief for widows.
Chernobyl is the current nuclear age.
Chernobyl - here a man became a hostage.
Chernobyl is death covered with a sarcophagus.
Chernobyl - no one and nothing is forgotten here.

Dear friends, we say goodbye to you. Goodbye, see you again

In the school І-ІІІ st.s. Velyka Shishovka held a week of memory

« Chernobyl: the candle does not go out in memory » (on the 30th anniversary of the tragedy)

On April 26, 2016, humanity celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl tragedy. This memorable date was dedicated to the events held in the Secondary School I-III st.s. Great Shishovka. Teacher - organizer Patraty D.A. and literature teacher O.L. Fedorchenko planned and held events dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Drawing competition “Chernobyl through the eyes of children!”

Literary evening “Chernobyl Madonna”

Student conference" The Chernobyl tragedy is in our hearts" .

Students from grades 1-5 took part in the drawing competition.

In grades 6-11, teacher-organizer Patraty D.A. and literature teacher Fedorchenko O.L. held a literary evening “Chernobyl Madonna”, and also provided for viewing film Explosion at Chernobyl.

The teachers told, showed the history of the creation of the station, the causes of the accident, the consequences for the environment, the cessation of the station’s operationbased on a computer system. Watching a moviemade it possible to clearly demonstrate the scale of the environmental disaster of 1986, to deeply and clearly illuminate environmental problems after the Chernobyl accident.The poems by V. Vysotsky “Reconnaissance in Combat”, L. Oshanin’s “Chernobyl Ballad”, the story “The Legend of Love”, information from experts on the scale of the tragedy were read.

In grades 7-11, teacher P.V. Seleznev. held a student conference “The Chernobyl tragedy is in our hearts.” At the beginning of the event, the teacher spoke about one of the most terrible environmental disasters, which became a kind of retribution for the technological progress of mankind. From the students' reports, they learned about the scale of the tragedy, various diseases caused by radiation, the consequences of an environmental disaster, and measures to combat radiation contamination.

At the end of all the events, the teacher-organizer once again emphasized that Chernobyl is the last warning to humanity; a warning as a very real image of what humanity can expect in the event of a nuclear war, and which should be heard not only by professional politicians around the world and military men with their fingers on the rocket buttons, but by every person without exception, regardless of his social status and age.

The echo of the Chernobyl disaster will continue to sound for decades to come.That is why the history of this disaster and the history of overcoming its consequences deserves people to know and remember about it.

The UN General Assembly proclaimed April 26 as the International Day of Remembrance for Radiation Victims.

Teacher-organizer Patraty Daria.

Video sequence Spring, dance with ribbons

There was a whiff of spring freshness,
Warm April days.
Whose heart, full of love and tenderness,
Suddenly it doesn’t start to beat harder than before!

Spring!
And flocks of sparrows
They scream, drunk with happiness,
And the larks pour out long trills -
A naive but exciting tune.

Spring!
And all nature awakens,

And everything around is singing, singing...
Everything comes to life, it fills with juice.
The land of human labor awaits.

The choreographic composition “The Coming of Spring” is interrupted by an explosion, the girl is covered with black material, which is torn from the wall.

Against the background of an explosion (text behind the scenes) :
The measure of horror for us is war. Chernobyl is worse. This is a war with an invisible enemy. War without shooting and bullets. We want to tell you how it was.

The girl leaves. The presenters come out

1st presenter. ...The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a lamp, and fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. This name of the star Wormwood, the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many of the people died from the waters because they became bitter...

Lead teacher: / Against the background of the bells./

The environmental bell is ringing. His sounds are filled with anxiety and pain. Pain for our land, irrigated by deadly rains, for the poisoning of rivers with chemical waste, for the sky with ozone holes, for the cut down forests. Anxiety for the future of children and grandchildren. The bell hums and groans. And in its roar the voices of Chernobyl, a catastrophe that shocked the whole world and made all of humanity shudder, sound in its most bitter notes, the memory of which remains an unhealed wound in the soul of our people.

1st presenter.

On April 26, 2015, humanity celebrates 30 years of Chernobyl! 30 years! Black anniversary of the tragedy. An anniversary that is not celebrated, but which must be remembered. Although those who were directly affected by this will never forget this day.

2nd presenter:

Ancient Chernobyl gave its bitter name to a powerful nuclear power plant, the construction of which began in 1971.

The main capital of energy workers has become a young, rapidly developing city, located 18 km north-west of Chernobyl. It was named Pripyat after the full-flowing beauty of the river.

The city owes its appearance to the construction of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant here. The average age of residents of the young city was 26 years. More than a thousand children were born here every year.

But now this city is without inhabitants, without the loud cries of children, without ordinary everyday life.

1st presenter:

The universal clock is knocking...
Among the dawn blue frost
I hear the dew chime
On the bitter stems of wormwood.
The dawn rises, the shadow swirls,
And the nightingale, hiding in the grove,
Naively praises the new day,
Birch rinses hair
In the blue-white fog,
And the willows dance in circles,
The river rolls its waters vigorously.
There is harmony and tenderness in everything.
Heaven's arrogant vastness
Looks down on the earth.
Behind the quiet stretch the distance is light,
Like hundreds of thousands of years, like before...
But the dawn of hope was bitter:
In it, time marks the exact sign -
My dead city rose like a ghost...

(On the screen is a photo of the abandoned city of Pripyat.)

Lead teacher:

The first impression of Pripyat is “well, the city is like a city.” Abandoned high-rise buildings, empty courtyards. It’s like it’s early morning... But an hour later this wild feeling comes - there is NO ONE in this city. NOBODY lives here. All these houses are completely empty. In the first minutes, this thought makes you feel creepy. This is not fear, but a strange sensation that makes you want to rub your eyes or pinch yourself more painfully.

2 presenter.

And the city was sleeping. It was a warm April night, one of the best nights of the year, when the leaves suddenly appear like a green mist on the trees.

The city of Pripyat slept, Ukraine slept, the whole country slept, not yet knowing about the enormous misfortune that had come to our Earth.

1 presenter. (On the screen is a photo of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant)

The events that led to the accident began to unfold on the morning of April 25, 1986. The reactor of the 4th unit was supposed to be shut down for scheduled preventative maintenance and, taking advantage of this, they decided to conduct tests to determine how long after the normal power supply was interrupted, the turbogenerator was able to produce electricity to power the water cooling pumps.

At one o'clock in the morning, before preparing for the tests, the reactor's power level was reduced. On April 26, at 1:23 a.m., the emergency safety system was deliberately disabled. Within a few seconds, the temperature in the core increased so much that an uncontrollable chain reaction began. At 1:23:04 the reactor of the fourth block exploded. Two explosions occurred one after the other with an interval of 3 seconds. The reactor core collapsed. A thousand-ton floor panel flew up, breaking through the roof of the reactor building. A deadly glowing column of radioactive substances - more than was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - shot up above the reactor and dissipated into the atmosphere.

Lead teacher:

A pillar of fire shot up into the sky,
And the explosion splashed the block block
The earth froze in horror,
Raised on the rack by misfortune.
Fire and darkness are an invisible enemy,
One step to death - then immortality.
No shootings, no attacks,
But the only way to live is at the cost of death.

2 presenter.

The firemen of the city of Pripyat took the first, most terrible blow. They extinguished the fire in the area of ​​​​heaviest radiation - above the reactor. The heat melted the remains of the asphalt-covered roof. Every step was difficult. Toxic fumes made it difficult to breathe, visibility was almost zero. The water pouring into the flame instantly turned into radioactive steam.

1 presenter.

And two weeks later, on Victory Day, many of them were no longer there - they were dying in a Moscow clinic from acute radiation sickness. They felt death, calmly, without tears, said goodbye to each other and died quietly... And thirty years later, the Chernobyl tragedy claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people.

(On the screen is a photo of the destroyed reactor.)

Lead teacher:

In order to finally stop the removal of radioactivity from the damaged power unit, it was decided to build a shelter over it - a sarcophagus

IIPart

Lead teacher:

(On the screen there is a photo of an empty Pripyat)

Frogs scream heart-rendingly in the warm floods of Pripyat. As if afraid of the silence in this always noisy city. An eerie feeling: there is a city, here it is before your eyes, you can get out of the armored vehicle and touch it with your hand. There are schools and nurseries, there are shops, hotels, a telephone exchange, there are factories and factories, there is a station where trains do not come. Everything is there.

There are only people! An invisible invader lives here - radiation. He is waiting for everyone who appears here. And he won’t ask for your ID, what your nationality is, won’t pay attention to your age, gender, won’t ask what ideas you profess...

Rats have become insolent in the city. They run shops and run around the streets. They say that radiation does not affect them. Is it true? Desolation, desolation, doom. The Black Stork, a rare bird, circles above the zone, an ominous symbol of the murdered land.

The wind keeps slamming open entrance doors. As if an invisible Brownie of the city is walking around his possessions. Does radiation affect him, Domovoy? Maybe only he will remain, the Brownie planet, if the worst happens... The Brownie and the rats. And what else?

Reading Svetlana Alexievich’s book “Chernobyl Prayer”

Children's choir

The worst thing is that this tragedy did not end in a year or two, and children suffered from it. They knew that they could die at any moment, they knew the cause of their illness. Here are their memories:

1. "Soldiers came for us in cars. I thought that a war had begun...

The soldiers had real machine guns hanging on their shoulders. They spoke incomprehensible words: “decontamination”, “isotopes”... On the road I had a dream: an explosion occurred! And I'm alive! There is no home, no parents, not even sparrows and crows. I woke up in horror, jumped up... I pulled back the curtains... I looked out the window: was there this terrible mushroom in the sky?

I remember how a soldier was chasing a cat... On the cat, the dosimeter worked like an automatic machine: click, click. Behind her are a boy and a girl... This is their cat... The boy is okay, but the girl screamed: “I won’t give it up!!” She ran and shouted: “Darling, run away! Run away, darling!

And the soldier is with a large plastic bag..."

“We left and locked up my little hamster in the house. We left him food for two days. And we left for good”...

2. "It was my first time on a train...

The train was packed with children. The little ones are roaring and dirty. One teacher for twenty people, and everyone is crying: “Mom! Where's mom? I want to go home!" I am ten years old, girls like me helped calm the little ones. Women met us on the platforms and baptized the train. They brought homemade cookies, milk, warm potatoes...

We were taken to the Leningrad region. There, when they approached the stations, people crossed themselves and looked from afar. They were afraid of our train; they took a long time to wash it at each station. When at one stop we jumped out of the car and ran into the buffet, no one else was allowed in: “Chernobyl children are eating ice cream here.” The barmaid said to someone on the phone: “They will leave, we will wash the floor with bleach and boil the glasses.” We heard…

Doctors met us. They were wearing gas masks and rubber gloves... They took our clothes, all our belongings, even envelopes, pencils and pens, put them in plastic bags and buried them in the forest.

We were so scared... We waited for a long time until we started dying..."

3. "We were leaving...

I want to tell you how my grandmother said goodbye to our house. She asked her father to take a bag of millet out of the pantry and scattered it around the garden: “For God’s birds.” She collected the eggs in a sieve and poured them out in the yard: “For our cat and dog.” I cut some lard for them. She shook out the seeds from all her bags: carrots, pumpkins, cucumbers, nigella onions... Different colors... Scattered them around the garden: “Let them live in the ground.” And then I bowed to the house... I bowed to the barn... I walked around and bowed to each apple tree...

And grandfather, when we left, took off his hat...”

4. "In the first year after the accident...

Sparrows disappeared from our village... They were lying everywhere: in the gardens, on the asphalt. They were raked up and taken away in containers with leaves. That year it was not allowed to burn the leaves; they were radioactive. The leaves were buried.

Two years later the sparrows appeared. We rejoiced and shouted to each other: “I saw a sparrow yesterday... They came back...”

The cockchafers have disappeared. We still don't have them. Maybe they will return in a hundred or a thousand years, as our teacher says. Even I won’t see them... And I’m nine years old...

How's my grandmother? She's old..."

5. "The first of September... School line...

And not a single bouquet. We already knew that flowers contain a lot of radiation. Before the start of the school year, the school was staffed not by carpenters and painters, as before, but by soldiers. They mowed flowers, removed and transported the earth somewhere in cars with trailers. A large old park was cut down. Old linden trees.

And a year later we were all evacuated, the village was buried. My dad is a driver, he went there and told me about it. First, they dig a large hole... Five meters... Firefighters arrive... They use fire hoses to wash the house from the ridge to the foundation so as not to raise radioactive dust. Windows, roof, threshold - everything is washed. And then the crane pulls the house from its place and places it in a hole... Dolls, books, cans are lying around... An excavator scoops it up... Everything is covered with sand, clay, and compacted. Instead of a village there is a flat field. Our home lies there. And the school, and the village council... There is my herbarium and two albums with stamps, I dreamed of taking them.

I had a bicycle... They just bought it for me..."

6. "I have never seen so many soldiers...

The soldiers washed trees, houses, roofs... They washed collective farm cows... I thought: “Poor animals in the forest!” Nobody washes them. They will all die. And no one washes the forest. He will die too."

The teacher said: “Draw radiation.” I drew yellow rain falling... And a red river flowing..."

7. "Mom came. Yesterday she hung an icon in her room. Something is whispering there in the corner. They are all silent: the professor, the doctors, the nurses. They think that I don’t suspect... I don’t realize that I’m going to die soon.

I had many friends here... Julia, Katya, Vadim, Oksana, Oleg... Now - Andrey... “We will die and become science,” Andrey said. “We will die and be forgotten,” Katya thought. “When I die, don’t bury me in the cemetery, I’m afraid of the cemetery, there are only dead people and crows there. And bury me in the field...” asked Oksana. “We will die...” Julia cried.

For me now the sky is alive when I look at it... They are there..."

A tear rolled into the folds of the pillow...

No. The sun, like you, closes its eyes,

Sleeps on the green pillow of the forests,

He sees, like you, many fabulous dreams.

The lips of a child are like a fiery cry

And the tongue is stubbornly disobedient,

His head is getting heavier...

Mom, tell me, is the song dying?

No. It's just not fun sometimes

Or someone will forget the words.

The child stubbornly does not understand

So he remained in the world for a short time:

Mom, tell me, do mothers die?

Mothers live as long as their children live...

What will he hear at the last minute?

Before it suddenly goes silent forever?

The bitter phrase: “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”

Or the crazy one: “Hush, he’s sleeping...”

Midday, warmed to the very bottom,

The grain fell into the ground and did not ripen...

The mound of earth is so small, small,

But the trouble is limitless.

Mom, tell me, is the sun dying?

Yes!...

EVACUATION

Lead teacher:

45 years after the start of the Great Patriotic War, the terrible word evacuation was heard again in our country.

1 Presenter:

Imagine a convoy of a thousand buses with lit headlights walking along the highway in two rows and taking out from the affected area the many thousands of population of Pripyat - women, old people, adults and newborn babies, the sick and those who suffered from radiation.

Imagine those who left their clean, young, beautiful city, of which they were proud, in which they had already taken root and given birth to children. People were silent, concentrated, and sometimes in shock and lethargy. There were almost no tears. Only the pain and anxiety were frozen in the eyes.

2 Presenter:

They were givenongatherings were strictly limited in time, they left their homes / as it turned out later - forever / and left in what they were, dressed for summer, taking only the most necessary things. But then it turned out that the most important thing was most often forgotten.

The evacuation began on April 26 exactly V the established time, and in less than 3 hours almost 50 thousand people were taken out of the city.

On April 28, people were evacuated from settlements located in a 10-kilometer zone, and then, in early May, in a 30-kilometer zone.

Film about Chernobyl

VIPart

1 Presenter:

The April explosion, which shook up the entire Soviet society, made us understand that information is often on a par with medicine, it is more expensive than money, and more necessary than bread. Therefore, any truth, even the most terrible, about Chernobyl, about what happened there, is still needed today, 30 years later. And it will be needed for a long time - we have no right to forget Chernobyl! The point of view of those who believe that Chernobyl is a thing of the past is vicious: “What is there to talk about when the emergency unit has long been buried? When were the words of the verdict pronounced and the perpetrators of the explosion received what they deserved? And in general, Chernobyl has long been in another state! It's time to stop talking about Chernobyl..."

2 Presenter:

No, it's not time! Who would dare to answer in the affirmative that there is order at all other nuclear power plants? That after April 1986 there was not a single breakdown, not a single failure? That there is no negligence, that the specialists are responsible and intelligent? Does the population living in the “zone” of the nuclear power plant know thoroughly what to do in critical situations?

If everything that is terrible, difficult to explain, and less than justified is easily forgotten and amnestied after years have passed, the lesson of Chernobyl, like any other history lesson, will not be comprehensive. To quickly forget means that in the future you will break your face on something unlearned, repeat not just a mistake, commit a new crime.

We light candles in the symbol of the reactor in memory of the victims

Mozart's Requiem sounds. All participants of the event come out to the music with burning candles and light 30 candles in the symbol of a nuclear reactor.

Lead teacher:

Life is defenseless
And love is tender.
And mind the Earth
Imposes tribute.
And exact responsibility
Great knowledge

(Inscription on a nuclear reactor. 1985 M. Dudin)

30 years have passed since the Chernobyl disaster. It seems like a long time. The people calmed down. The descendants of the settlers took to the wing. The old people have gone to another world. There seemed to be a lull.

And this is good, because fears sometimes cause more harm than the disasters themselves.

After all, the main measure of the consequences of major man-made disasters is not so much destruction and lost profits as the reformatting of human destinies.

It is unlikely that anyone will object that Chernobyl became the fly in the ointment that finally spoiled the mood of the masses who had fallen into the stupid perestroika and plunged our country into the chaos of apocolyptic demagoguery, which ended with the collapse of the USSR.

It should be noted that accidents at nuclear power plants around the world occurred almost every year. In the United States alone, twelve of them were recorded in the period before 1986.

The first major accident occurred at a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania on March 28, 1979, the second power unit of which, with a capacity of 880 MW, was not equipped with a safety system.

Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania (USA)

However, detailed information about this accident was contained only in leaflets for internal use.

It was from this time that concealment of information about nuclear accidents became the norm in international practice.

In the Soviet Union, there were also many incidents at nuclear facilities that were not written or spoken about anywhere. The most serious consequences were caused by the 1957 accident at the Mayak production facility in the Chelyabinsk region.

The resulting radioactive cloud with an activity of about 2 million Ci settled on the ground in three regions of the Ural region, forming the so-called South Ural radioactive trace.

In total, 10 serious accidents occurred at USSR nuclear power facilities before Chernobyl, including in September 1982 at the same ill-fated Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where, due to erroneous actions of operating personnel, the central fuel assembly at the 1st power unit was destroyed with the release of radioactivity into the industrial zone and the city of Pripyat.

The practice of concealing information about incidents at nuclear power plants from nuclear power plant personnel has become a hindrance in ensuring radiation safety. After all, ignorance always contributes to carelessness.

A.I. Mayorets, appointed to the post of Minister of Energy of the USSR, was especially zealous in this direction - he was not sufficiently competent in energy, and even more so in nuclear technologies.

It must be said that the position of the management was never shared by the operating personnel of nuclear power plants.

Thus, in 1979, the magazine Kommunist published an article by scientists from the I.V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, who, after analyzing the situation, proposed not to use RBMK reactors in the European part of the country. Unfortunately, these proposals were not heard.

However, let's return to the events of April 26, 1986 and try to figure out why the reactor exploded at the 4th power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Regarding the technical level of the RBMK reactor, I will give an excerpt from the transcript of the meeting of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee on July 3, 1986, chaired by M.S. Gorbachev:

Gorbachev:

Did the commission figure out why the unfinished reactor was transferred to industry? In the United States, such rectors have been abandoned. Yes, Comrade Legasov?

Academician Legasov:

Such reactors have not been developed or used in the energy sector in the United States.

Gorbachev:

There were 104 accidents, who is responsible?

Meshkov(First Deputy Minister of Medium Engineering of the USSR):

This station is not ours, but the Ministry of Energy.

Gorbachev:

What can you say about the RBMK reactor?

Meshkov:

The reactor is tested, but there is no dome. If you strictly follow the regulations, there will be no harm from them.

Gorbachev:

Is it possible to bring these reactors to the international level?

Academician Alexandrov:

All countries with developed nuclear energy do not operate on the same type of reactors as ours.

Mayorets(Member of the Government Commission):

I assert that the RBMK, even after modification, will not comply with all of our current rules.

Chernobyl reactor before the accident

Briefly about why the experiment was carried out at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

The fact is that in the event of a complete blackout of the equipment of a nuclear power plant, the operation of all mechanisms stops, including the pumps that pump water through the reactor core. As a result, its core melts, which can lead to an accident.

The use of any possible sources of electricity in such cases involves an experiment with a run-down of the turbine generator rotor.

After all, while the rotor rotates, electricity is generated. It can and should be used in critical cases.

What were the violations of the regulations?

1. The test program, the quality of which did not stand up to criticism, was not agreed upon with Gosatomenergonadzor. However, the station management and Sayuzatamenergo were not bothered by this.

2. The holy of holies of nuclear technology was violated: the reactor protection measures were not brought to the maximum design basis accident (MDA) button. This means that it was impossible to activate the protection with one movement.

3. The chief engineer of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Fomin, made a grave mistake - the emergency cooling system of the reactor was turned off.

Instead of allowing the generator rotor to coast down at the moment of its shutdown, the experiment began to be carried out at its full power. As a result, the reactor power dropped to below 30 MW and its “poisoning” with decay products began. This was the beginning of the end.

The remaining actions were carried out at the command of Deputy Chief Engineer Dyatlov, who did not know the thermal circuits of the station and uranium-graphite reactors. It was he who actually forced operator Toptunov to increase the power of the reactor. Thus, they signed the death warrant for themselves and many of their colleagues.

On April 26, 1986, at 1 hour 23 minutes 58 seconds, the reactor and the building of the 4th power unit were destroyed by a series of powerful explosions. Flaming pieces, sparks and flames flew from the destroyed power unit to a great height. The wind carried them towards Belarus.

About 50 tons of radioactive fuel were released into the atmosphere in the form of particles of uranium dioxide, radionuclides iodine-131, plutonium-239, neptunium-139, cesium-137, strontium-90 and other radioactive isotopes. Another 70 tons were thrown onto the collapsed buildings and surrounding area. The activity of radioactive fuel reached 15-20 thousand roentgens per hour.

At dawn on April 26, 1986, a picture of destruction was revealed to the eyes of people near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Unit 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the accident

The reactor shaft was torn apart, as if from a direct hit by a super-powerful bomb. The walls of the central hall partially collapsed. Gaps appeared in the roof of the adjacent turbine room.

Inside, it was partially burned out; the fire and blast wave deformed the floor trusses and frame columns. The roof was burning in the area between the fourth and third power units.

The hydrogen-air mixture in the central hall of the fourth power unit exploded instantly. This gave the destruction the specific character of a volumetric explosion.

Smoke swirled above the reactor hall, and uranium continued to burn below. Due to ultra-high temperatures, nuclear fuel melted along with the remains of structures, forming a red-hot radioactive mass.

Thousands of radioactive debris lay around the completely destroyed core. Large and small fragments of graphite masonry, fuel cells, various units - all of this was blown apart by the explosion. There were a lot of pieces lying on the roofs of buildings.

The station workers and the arriving firefighters (69 people and 14 pieces of equipment) selflessly fought the fire. Before 6 o'clock in the morning, we managed to extinguish the burning bitumen on the roof of the turbine room (according to the rules, there should have been non-flammable material here).

In fact, these people, at the cost of their lives, saved humanity from a much greater threat, because the fire could have spread to other power units and the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Our fellow countryman, a native of the Braginsky district, Vasily Ignatenko, led the extinguishing of the fire on the roof of the turbine hall. With incredible efforts, he and several other fellow firefighters managed to put out the fire and were the last to leave the roof.

All these young guys died a few days later and were buried at the Mitinskoye cemetery in Moscow.

Relatives of Vasily Ignatenko at his grave at the Mitinskoye cemetery

In a conversation with Vasily Ignatenko’s wife at the opening events of a museum exhibition in honor of the hero of Chernobyl in Bragin, I asked her if Vasily understood what he was getting into.

She replied: “Of course, he knew how it would end for him, but he could not do otherwise.”

This courageous woman, being pregnant, went to Moscow and was constantly near her dying husband.

As she herself said, she remained alive only because the radioactivity mainly hit the child in the womb. She was saved, but the child was not.

And here are examples of outright bungling.

It turns out that during and after the accident, dosimetric control of the situation was impossible, since individual dosimeters with a measurement limit of 1 milliroentgen per second went off scale. One device with a large measurement range (up to 1000 roentgens) was faulty, the second one ended up in a littered room.

Background radiation measurements

No one had time to use special protective equipment. Nevertheless, the turbine room employees did not escape, but while fighting the fire, de-energized the equipment, preventing possible new hydrogen explosions, and helped wounded comrades get out of the dilapidated premises. At the same time, they wrapped wet towels around their heads, since it was impossible to breathe in respirators.

People moved under the protection of surviving walls and structures. People wearing short-sleeved shirts could be seen on the premises.

Even at night, several firefighters from the first crews turned to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant first aid station. Closer to lunchtime, the hospitals in Pripyat and Chernobyl were overcrowded, and more and more people were constantly arriving from the station - most of them in serious and extremely serious condition.

Many had red spots on their bodies (nuclear tanning), while others, on the contrary, were as pale as a tablecloth.

The victims constantly felt sick, had a fever, people periodically lost consciousness, and wounds and ulcers formed on their bodies.

At first, doctors informed relatives that patients were being admitted with burns, and claimed that nausea was caused by gas poisoning, since severe radiation exposure was not yet known here.

What happened at the nuclear power plant was immediately reported to Kyiv and Moscow.

On April 26, additional fire brigade forces and some military units were mobilized. However, the facts confirm that the country's leadership, having already received data about the high radiation danger at the fourth block of the nuclear power plant, still considered the explosion as an incident and not a disaster.

Of course, at that time there was no complete picture of what happened.

And in the city of Pripyat and in all the affected territories, the population was preparing for May Day, children’s voices rang in the courtyards, teenagers bought ice cream and confectionery from open trays. In the surrounding villages, people were preparing to plant potatoes.

On April 27, the first group of injured liquidators of 28 people was flown to the 6th Radiological Hospital in Moscow. The examination confirmed that they had acute radiation sickness.

The first liquidators at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

In this situation, a decision was made to evacuate the population from a ten-kilometer zone around the emergency nuclear power plant, including the city of Pripyat.

In radio announcements, residents were informed of a “temporary” evacuation to populated areas of the Kyiv region “in order to ensure the complete safety of people, and primarily children.”

From 14.00 buses began arriving at each house. It was recommended to take only some clothes and a minimum of food with you.

Many, not realizing the complexity of the situation, perceived the forced departure as a vacation in nature: they stocked up on barbecue, took guitars and tape recorders with them.

The evacuation took place in an orderly manner. Until 17.00, 1,100 buses took the residents of Pripyat outside the outlined zone.

Column of buses with displaced people

The evacuation of villagers was much more difficult, since people took advantage of the fine days to work in their gardens and did not agree to leave.

And yet, within two to three days, they managed to evacuate about 50 thousand people, while people left all their property and pets in place.

Meanwhile, an increase in the radioactive background has already been recorded abroad.

On April 27 at 10 p.m., Swedish services detected a sharp surge in radioactivity in one of the regions of the country. A little later, one of the Danish research laboratories reported that an accident of the MPA category (maximum design basis accident) occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Europe pollution map

From that moment on, Chernobyl came into the focus of attention of foreign media. However, for a long time, Gorbachev and his entourage prevented the dissemination of objective information about the tragedy, fearing panic.

At the station itself, already on April 27, measures began to curb the emergency reactor, which was still emitting tons of radioactive dust and soot into the atmosphere. Military units arrived in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant area, including a helicopter regiment that had been alerted the night before.

A government commission was formed in Moscow to eliminate the consequences of the accident. It was headed by Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR B.E. Shcherbina.

The scientists were represented by the Deputy Director of the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Academician V.A. Legasov. It was he who arrived at the scene of the disaster among the first.

Academician Legasov V.A.

Legasov made calculations of the composition of a special mixture, which included bromine-containing substances, lead and dolomites. This mixture was supposed to stop the self-heating of the remaining nuclear fuel and limit the release of radioactive aerosols.

Over the course of eight days, until May 5, 1986, helicopter pilots dropped about 5 thousand tons of the mixture into the reactor shaft. For this we had to make 1800 sorties. In each of them, the pilots risked receiving prohibitive doses of radiation.

From how Major General N.T. described the work of the pilots in his memoirs. Antoshkin:

“We worked like this: the helicopter hovered over the emergency block, the side doors opened, and the technician, tied with a safety belt, dropped 60-100 kg bags.

He will drop 5-6 bags - covered in sweat. In a few seconds, 5-6 X-rays will be obtained.

It was hard work: the temperature below was 120-180 degrees, the radiation level was more than 3,000 roentgens per hour. At first, when there was little equipment, helicopter pilots made up to 33 approaches a day.”

Among the helicopter liquidator pilots was Vasily Vodolazhsky, who was serving in Minsk, and voluntarily stayed to teach his colleagues a safer technique for dropping cargo into the mouth of the rector.

Returning to Minsk with poor health, he soon died of cancer and was awarded the title of Hero of Russia.

On the facade of his house in the military town of Uruchye there is a memorial plaque, at which ceremonial events are held every year on April 26.

Near the memorial plaque to Vasily Vodolazhsky

Let us note that of those who created the first barrier to trouble, about 1000 people received the maximum radiation doses (from 2 to 20 Gray).

134 nuclear power plant employees and members of rescue teams who were at the accident site during the initial period died. 28 of them died within a month.

On May 2, 1986, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR N.I. Ryzhkov and the Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee E.K. Ligachev visited the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The visit certainly helped speed up the resolution of many organizational and supply issues and contributed to clearer coordination of the actions of various departments.

After analyzing the situation, on May 4, 1986, the Soviet government decided to continue the resettlement of people from the nuclear power plant, expanding the exclusion zone to 30 kilometers.

Military units continued to gather in the exclusion zone, and a brigade of chemical troops was deployed.

Numerous specialists arrived here en masse, military and civilian equipment were transferred.

To coordinate the work, republican commissions were created in the Belarusian, Ukrainian SSR and the RSFSR, as well as various departmental commissions and headquarters.

No one could yet imagine how far the echo of the accident would spread.

In 1995, as a result of summarizing research materials, a preliminary forecast was made according to which self-purification of soils as a result of the migration of radionuclides into underlying horizons will not occur in the next 30 years. This means that the environmental disaster caused by the Chernobyl disaster has a large territorial, spatial and temporal extent.

M.S. Gorbachev and his wife R.M. Gorbacheva first visited the site of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on February 23, 1989 - almost 3 years after the incident

Of course, after the Chernobyl accident, much has changed in the minds of those involved in the design, construction and operation of nuclear power plants.

New stations are being built using much more advanced technologies - from the point of view of ensuring maximum safety.

So far, unfortunately, there is no alternative to nuclear energy, especially in technologically developed countries that do not have hydrocarbon deposits.

This encourages them to build nuclear power plants on their territory.

In this regard, the issue of exceptionally high-quality training of specialists, on whose awareness and depth of knowledge the safety of the operation of a nuclear facility primarily depends, is extremely relevant.

The consequences of Chernobyl should become a daily reminder to management, every engineer and operator of the great responsibility.

After all, the laws of meanness always work where people do not have deep knowledge, lose their vigilance and hope for chance.

In the next article, Valentin Antipenko will talk about what happened in Belarus after the accident. Follow our publications

Residents of the Vologda region will get acquainted with the chronicle of events, meet with participants in the liquidation of the accident, visit documentary and book exhibitions, and thematic meetings.

30 years ago, one of the most monumental man-made disasters in human history occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the small satellite town of Pripyat. On the night of April 26, 1986, the reactor and the building of the fourth power unit were shocked by two powerful explosions. Hot pieces of nuclear fuel and graphite were thrown out of the reactor. A column of burning materials and gases soared to a height of more than one kilometer. The reactor core was completely destroyed, and a colossal amount of radioactive substances were released into the atmosphere. As a result of unprecedented intensity, heroism and sacrifice of work at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the walls of a sarcophagus-burial ground grew around the 4th power unit, in the depths of which the emergency reactor was buried. The liquidators fulfilled their duty in the radiation hotspot, regardless of the danger to their own lives, and did everything to reduce the destructive consequences of the disaster. Among them were Vologda residents. These are Nikolai Maslov, Nikolai Gritsai, Alexey Eremin, Grigory Astashov, Tamara Yastrebova, Vasily Pushmenkov, Mikhail Barashkov and others.
