(Chernobyl: Inside the Meltdown: Season 1: Cover-Up) Historie On April 26th, 1986, a safety test at unit number four of the Chernobyl power station triggered the worst nuclear accident in history. The massive explosion and resulting fire released more than 400 times more radiation into the atmosphere than the Hiroshima bomb. It was a global catastrophe – a radioactive cloud spread across Europe and eventually circled the world. This landmark series on the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster tells the full story from the meltdown to the KGB cover-up, right up to the present-day war in Ukraine, revealing how a nuclear exclusion zone became a war zone. With powerful interviews from survivors who have never spoken in public before, and unique insights into the Western and Soviet response, this series provides a new perspective on a story riddled with intrigue, deception and tragedy. On 28th April, fire still rages in what’s left of reactor number 4. Helicopter crews trying to put it out are bombarded by massive doses of radiation. Soviet authorities finally order the evacuation of local residents, and 50,000 people are forced to leave their homes. They are told to take enough for 3 days, but they will never come back. Frontline firefighters suffering acute radiation burns are locked in wards controlled by the KGB. Many will die within days. In Sweden high levels of radiation alert the rest of the world to a radioactive cloud sweeping across Europe – evidence of a massive nuclear accident in the USSR. But the Soviet authorities remain silent. Episode Two charts the first two weeks after the meltdown, revealing the human cost of the accident, and the Soviet efforts to conceal the true scale of the disaster. MN 12 (United Kingdom)
