Scientists continue to study the Chernobyl region, argue about the cause of the emergency, very surprised about the ability of living creatures to adapt to difficult conditions, Write “Komsomolskaya Pravda.”
According to open sources, the territory surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant previously infected with uneven illness. In some places, there is still a high level of radiation, there are dead areas, in some settlements you can live.
Scientists discover the flora and animal systems of the Chernobyl area. In particular, a group of biologists, led by Sofia Tintori from New York University, studied nematodes. They found that worm genes were not damaged by radiation.
At the same time, a study conducted by experts from the University of South Carolina and the National Genoma Research Institute showed that the dog gene had changed significantly.
A descendant of the dogs in the house abandoned in the area decades ago became as if a single genetic, in contrast to an invisible threat. In animals, stress resistance increases, enhanced immunity and dark wool.
Ovedo University staff and Dont's biological station have discovered that the frogs in the area alienated live as before, they are calm and happy.
The fourth Chernobyl capacity unit was put into operation in December 1983. On April 25, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was planned for the design tests of one of the security systems at the fourth capacity unit, then the reactor was planned to stop to repair as planned.
Due to the limitations of coordination, the reactor has stopped postponing many times, which causes certain difficulties with control of the reactor capacity.
On April 26, at 1 hour 24 minutes, the uncontrolled electricity growth occurred, resulting in a significant part of the explosion and destroying the installation of the reactor. In many different rooms and on the roof, a fire begins.
As a result of the accident, almost the entire spectrum of radioactive nucleus was thrown into the atmosphere, accumulated in the reactor at the time of the explosion, including YODA-131 (8-day half-life), Cesium-134 (HALF-Life of 2 years)
