Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster - Part 1

Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster - Part 1
NOTE: IN THE PORTION WHERE I EXPLAIN NUCLEAR FISSION, I MIX UP NUCLEI AND NEUTRON! I realised this post editing but I think it generally makes sense, but when I explain how the nuclei is hit, I say it releases a nuclei, it actually releases a neutron, the neutron then hits the next nuclei and releases more neutrons, that is what forms the chain reaction. Thanks for accepting my mistake :)Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss the  the 1986 Chernobyl Disaster in which the reactor number 4 of the Chernobyl Power Plant suffered a full meltdown and explosion resulting in the worst nuclear disaster in history both in terms of cost and number of lives impacted.
