TCHERNOBYL

Un séisme?!

    «Le séisme est une fausse explication: il y a eu 2 explosions : la première est une explosion nucléaire qui a crevé la dalle; la deuxième est une explosion hydrogène due à la présence du Zircaloy. Toutes les autres explications sont pour dédouaner le nucléaire. Il est vrai que Tchernobyl se trouve sur le chemin des grandes failles partant des Alpes / Cadarache  jusqu'à Tchernobyl, mais ce n'est pas l'origine de l'accident»

    «The staff of the plant started a test, which should have been carried out before the power plant was put into operation. In actual fact, such a test had been carried out earlier - but failed. During preparations for the test, the operators experienced difficulty keeping the capacity of the nuclear plant stable and they made a lot of mistakes. When the real test began, the power plant's capacity suddenly increased unexpectedly. The control rods started to descend, but shocks could be felt. The fuel tubes became deformed because of the large increase in the steam pressure. Pressure in the reactor became so high that the fuel elements burst and small particles landed in the cooling water. The cooling water turned into steam and pressure in the tubes increased. They burst. The 1000-ton lid above the fuel elements was lifted - the first explosion. The release of radiation started. Air got into the reactor. There was enough oxygen to start a graphite fire. The metal of the fuel tubes reacted with the water. The chemical reaction produced hydrogen. This hydrogen exploded - the second explosion
