April 26 is the Day of Remembrance for those killed in radiation accidents and catastrophes. This year marks the 27th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster, the largest in the history of nuclear energy in the world. terrible tragedy, but on this day we traditionally remember Chernobyl. After all, only remembering the mistakes of the past can hope not to repeat them in the future. In 1986, an explosion occurred at the Chernobyl reactor No. 4, and several hundred workers and firefighters tried to put out the fire that had been burning for 10 days. The world was enveloped in a cloud of radiation. Then about 50 employees of the station were killed and hundreds of rescuers were injured. It is still difficult to determine the scale of the disaster and its impact on people's health - only from 4 to 200 thousand people died from cancer that developed as a result of the received dose of radiation. Pripyat and the surrounding areas will not be safe for people to live for several centuries.

How children see the tragedy at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and how TUT.BY forum users helped the Brest independent theater "Wings of Khalop" to prepare the script for a new performance, we learned at the exhibition children's drawing"Chernobyl".

A children's view of the tragedy in Chernobyl was presented to the Brest public on July 1 in the hall of the Hermitage Hotel. In total, over 50 works were posted on the stands. Most of them are the result of the hard work of young artists from Brest. Several more paintings were submitted for the competition by patients of the Minsk Psychoneurological Dispensary.

In order to learn more about the artistic and theatrical project on the theme of Chernobyl, TUT.BY visited the exhibition hall together with one of the organizers of the cultural initiative and part-time actor of the Brest independent alternative theater "Wings of Khalop" Sergei Gaiko.

As the young man explained, the exhibition of children's drawings is an important part of the play "Chernobyl", on which the team of the Brest alternative theater is working. The production was based on the materials of two expeditions to the Belarusian part of the resettlement zone and the Polessky Radiation and Ecological Reserve, interviews with people evacuated after the Chernobyl accident and documents related to its consequences. In addition, the correspondence of people on the forums was also used.

"Some fragments were borrowed, including from the TUT.BY forum. These posts show how modern people discuss this topic without cuts, "- added interlocutor.

The performance ends with a video sequence with photographs of the past, present and future of the nuclear power plant.

"Children's work is a kind of illustration of the future," Sergei Gaiko explained.

According to Sergei, the children's works sent as part of the competition made a strong impression on the organizers and members of the jury, which included cultural figures of the city.

"I was most struck by the work, which depicts people in a circle of fire. It's hard to say what the child was thinking when he painted it, but I see people who, once exposed to radiation, can no longer go beyond this "fire" into blue space", - he explained.

According to the organizers, the exhibition of children's drawings "Chernobyl" will run at the Hermitage Hotel for about three weeks, that is, until July 22. But when the premiere of the new performance of the theater "Wings of Khalop" will take place, it is still difficult to say.

According to Sergey Gaiko, a draft version of the production is already ready, which was presented to foreign colleagues at the International Women's Theater Festival in Denmark. At this stage, the theater team continues to work on the performance.

On the night of April 25-26, 1986, exactly 21 years ago, an accident occurred. Explosion of 4 power units at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. This event cannot leave anyone indifferent, it brought so much pain and misfortune.
Further, a large selection of photographs of both the Chernobyl nuclear power plant itself and the Chernobyl Zone as a whole, as well as the city of Chernobyl and Pripyat, a chronicle of the events of the accident and links to sites on relevant topics.

Photos of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986, after the accident.

Now a brief chronology of the events of those two ill-fated nights:

01:06
The planned gradual reduction in reactor power has begun
03:47
Reactor power stopped at 1600 MW(t)
14:00
Isolated emergency core cooling system (part of the test program). The power was to be reduced even more, but a request came from Kyiv to leave the power at the same level (1600 MW(t)). Test program delayed
23:10
Repeated power reduction

00:05
The power level has reached 720 MW(t) and continues to decrease
00:28
Power level - 500 MW(t). The control was switched to automatic mode, however, this led to an unexpected drop in power to 30 MW (t)
00:32
The operator attempts to restore power by removing the reaction control rods. In order to leave less than 26 rods, the permission of the chief engineer is required, but already at this time their number is less than required.
01:00
Power increased to 200 MW(t)
01:03
An additional pump is included in the left sleeve of the cooling system to increase the flow of water to the core (included in the test program)
01:07
An additional pump is included in the right sleeve of the cooling system (included in the test program). Additional pumps removed heat from the core faster. The water level in the steam separator has decreased
01:15
The operator deactivated the reactor shutdown system at low steam pressure
01:18
The operator increased the flow of water
01:19
Some control rods have been removed to increase power and raise the temperature and pressure in the steam separator. The rules do not allow less than 15 control rods, but at this point there were probably only eight
01:21:40
The water flow is reduced to below normal levels in order to stabilize the water level in the steam separator and reduce heat removal from the core.
01:22:10
The formation of steam in the core has begun
01:22:45
Despite the emergency warnings received, the state of the reactor was stable.
01:23:10
Automatic control rods are removed from the core
01:23:21
The formation of steam increases sharply. This should lead to an increase in power
01:23:35
The amount of steam in the core begins to increase uncontrollably
01:23:40
Emergency button pressed. Automatic control rods returned to the core
01:23:44
Reactor power exceeded the rated power by 100 times
01:23:45
Reaction of fuel with cooling water produces momentum high pressure in fuel channels
01:23:49
Fuel channels destroyed
01:24
There were two explosions. They tore off the roof of the reactor, allowing air to enter, which contributed to the formation of flammable gas and caused a fire.

"CEMETERY OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT".

11:30
We pass the cemetery of technology. We decided to stop and take pictures. We climb on our car and take pictures of the cemetery. It's just enormous. Rows are "dirty" cars. Armored personnel carriers, trucks, ambulances, fire trucks, buses, excavators, robotic bulldozers and even cargo helicopters (the most powerful in the world - lifting 50t). Andrey and I climb a twenty-meter tower to take large-scale pictures of the cemetery, and in the meantime, our guide persuades the guards to let us into the cemetery, provided that we do not leave the path and do not touch the equipment. From the height of the tower, a huge panorama of the cemetery opens up. The wind is blowing and the tower begins to wobble noticeably. We go down, Rimma agreed on everything and we enter the cemetery. Each of us tries to walk in the center of the path, carefully checking for a metallic taste in the mouth. The equipment is in a very neglected state, only a skeleton remains of some. Rimma says that very "dirty" equipment was immediately buried at great depths. We walk along the rows of cars and imagine how that night the rescue teams, firefighters and soldiers loaded onto this equipment and drove to the burning reactor. We stop at the equipment we like and take pictures, the sun shines very brightly, we have to cover the camera lens with our hands when taking pictures, creating a shadow. Rimma talks about robots, about how Japanese humanoid robots fell on the roof or began to twitch terribly and fall off the roof, as if committing suicide.
I remember robotic bulldozers, they were dumped into open reactor lumps of radioactive graphite, which was thrown out during the explosion onto the roof from the reactor. We pass by the buses on which the residents of Pripyat were evacuated, in front of the ambulance, next to the fire trucks. The sun is mercilessly hot, there are too many impressions.

Brief information for work with children in Bronnitsy

Our organization (Bronnitsa City Public Organization of the Disabled "Soyuz-Chernobyl") has been working with children for 7-8 years. the residents themselves knew little and their children knew practically nothing, although from the very beginning of the events, i.e. from April 26, 1986 officers in / unit 63539 and before liquidation of the military group in Chernobyl took a direct part in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident.

The work began with the lessons of courage on the Chernobyl theme at school No. 2. This work was supported from the very beginning by the director of the school Natalia Sergeevna Solovieva. In the future, an idea appeared, to transfer the received information and knowledge to paper. Thus, the first school competition of children's drawings on the Chernobyl theme was born. In the future, this topic has been developed and outgrown from school competition in the city interschool, in the regional intercity (Bronnitsy and Elektrogorsk, Moscow region) and in 2010 we held an exhibition-competition of children's drawings in the Moscow region on the topic: "Chernobyl through the eyes of children." The results of the regional competition were summed up, the results were sent to the Minister of Education of the Moscow Region Antonova L.N. All competitions and exhibitions of children's works, except for the intercity competition, were held at the personal expense of Chernobyl residents. In the process of carrying out all this work, active, inquisitive, talented children of three comprehensive schools of the city, the School of Art, the House of Children's Creativity.

The children of the House of Children's Creativity took a more active position. It was proposed to hold an exhibition of children's crafts. Such an exhibition was held at the Council of Veterans of the city. The authors of the best crafts were awarded with valuable gifts.

The Chernobyl organization of the city decided to redeem all the children's crafts. Which is what was done. In the future, the children of the House of Children's Art have always been active participation in competitions art works, an exhibition of handicraft works was organized for them. These works were sold during the exhibition, the proceeds were used to restore and expand the range of ornamental materials.

Our organization was actively assisted by teachers of fine arts and drawing, these are:

1. School No. 1 - Murashova Margarita Alexandrovna;

2. School No. 2 - Kirsanova Olga Nikolaevna;

3. School No. 3 - Mamontova Marina Vasilievna;

4.School of arts - Borisova Vlada Dmitrievna;

5. House of children's creativity - Nosova Oksana Yurievna.

By the anniversary date - the 25th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, we intend to hold an exhibition children's drawings "Chernobyl through the eyes of children" in the Regional House of Arts government of the Moscow region, as well as the regional children's art competition.

In general, our press, Bronnitsky News, will tell you the best about children's competitions.
