#NuclearIsDirty: Chernobyl 30 -- A Look from the Inside, with Lucas Hixson - YouTube
Published on May 2, 2016 by
In this installment in our #NuclearIsDirty * series, we provide an inside view from nuclear field technician Lucas Hixson on the impacts of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the ongoing efforts to manage the site.
Lucas recently traveled to Ukraine and spent ten days with people who work at the Chernobyl reactor site today, 30 years after the consequential release of radioactivity from this site began. He takes us from the moment the Unit 4 reactor failed on April 26, 1986, the aftermath, and the ongoing mitigation work, up to his own recent experiences living with today’s workers at the site of one of the largest man-made radioactive releases on the planet. Chernobyl today.
Lucas shared his insights about the radiological impacts and consequences that could reframe our understanding of major reactor disasters.
