And 'nuclear power plant in April 1999 that Tokaimura, Japan, to avert the nuclear inferno. Let's see the stages of the incident:
· The morning of Thursday, the authorities show that, due to a leak of uranium, has triggered an uncontrolled fission in the reactor core.
· At 10:30 the alarm goes off, some workers were contaminated with very serious.
· At 12:41 the police create a "cordon" around the middle, you understand that the incident is becoming more serious than expected.
· At 15:18 some families living in Near the center is evacuated.
· At 21:00 held an emergency meeting and the government understands the seriousness of this point, more than 300000 people invited to stay at home.
· At 00:00 the radioactivity levels in and around the plant reaches between 10 and 20 000 times higher than normal.
· At 2:30 the next day the plant operates 18 technical mission to accept a true "suicide bombers", are allowed in to stop the chain reaction, well aware that, after the mission, would no longer be the themselves.
· At 6:00 authorities argue that the radioactivity has fallen to zero.
After it is established that it was human error, the technicians were able to carry inside the building where the uranium is used as fuel in nuclear power station, two barrels of uranium-nitric acid mixture (which were mixed by hand, with a rudimentary funnel, 30 kg each: these are unwittingly fallen earth and, being mixed, have triggered the reaction. engineers who stopped the reaction at the hospital are in critical condition.
