Echo of Chernobyl tragedy in the memories of liquidator: there shone the asphalt apparel and equipment
Thirty years separates us from the April 26, 1986, the day when the fourth reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion that completely destroyed the reactor. We are born in disaster, remember, only the later rallies and mournful celebration. But we have witnesses who directly visited the place where once produced nuclear power, and then smoothed from the effects of major disaster and zaboroneni radioactive waste. Mykola Bondar, a native of S. Bolotov, fell at Chernobyl, in 87, a year after the explosion. At the time had behind Plegnencie vocational school ¹3, in the army (troops in Czechoslovakia), the collective experience. Together with his wife has lived in Nikolaev, and later moved to Pervomaisk of the Luhansk region. There our fellow countryman and found a summons from the military enlistment office. Husband was just planning how to spend a vacation, but two summer months he spent near Pripyat. Nicholas Cooper - at First did not tell us anything about why you called and where to go. Like, you'll see. Everything was "classified". We were warned that "trying to escape" is punishable, as in time of war. From the Luhansk region two cars (120 people) were sent to the White Church. Then he said that taking us to Chernobyl, says the participant of liquidation of accident. So relatives Nicholas Cooper learned of his whereabouts from the letters he wrote from Kyiv oblast. Of it is located in sec.Oran Ivankov district of Kyiv region. Mobilized emergency workers lived in large tents, to eat were brought daily, on the station tables dining room were exotic fruits. The nuclear power station from the village – 50 kilometers. Nikolay Ignatyevich worked as a truck driver. The ZIL drove the equipment to the station, as he says, to "hrasno" zone. Worked through the day, because driving had to be 17 hours. The man had 52 trips in the area, has twice been in Pripyat. - Each time the physicist measured the radiation background and told people how much time is there to stay. During those two months that I was there, the asphalt was placed there 4 times, for a week or two he was burnt from the radiation. To exit from the station, we on each floor, took a shower, changed clothes, passed radiation control. Us, as surgeons, dressed in white clothes, and yet came to the dining room, several times changing, because "salsa". Just outside from the radiation washed machinery and equipment, – my interlocutor remembers. – The main event for all it was necessary to have equipment that protects from beta-dust. Because these particles, if caught in the body, make themselves known and in 20-30 years. Newcomers week was for acclimatization. After washing with contaminated tap water in many hair falling out. Nicholas Cooper, who works as a driver in Ostrog the Department of Zdolbuniv local Prosecutor's office, says that somehow repairing the car at the station, he scratched his arm. At home, he and the values he would not have allowed such a situation, and then into the blood immediately hit radioactive parts from the air, the wound began to gain. The man asked for help in the infirmary, but with ranozazivluchee means there was only one, it didn't improve the situation, and the doctors didn't know how to act. They said that could be the gangrene, then the limb will have to be amputated. In the local hospital Nikolay Ignatovich helped save the hand. Nikolay Ignatyevich Cooper is a participant of the liquidation of the Chernobyl accident. Retirement came in 52 years. Used to take help in the hospital of dis-rhenium, they were given the permit in sanatorium. The man notes that after the accident, recruited people from all over the Soviet Union to force through the military and volunteers. Years to Chernobyl came and the volunteers, because the work of the liquidators has been paid, the liquidators of the accident had certain privileges, can travel to other republics, was opened before them a door of many institutions. About radiation exposure then was not a lot of information. It later came the order not to pick up at the Chernobyl nuclear people up to 30 years. There was a shortage and marauders who hunt easy prey. After all people were evacuated, leaving everything. For these thieves watched the police, who themselves wanted to profit from abandoned good, and they were monitored workers in other agencies, including the KGB. Mykola Bondar recalls an occasion when he was shown the place where it was shot a few policemen, who brought the property out of the exclusion zone. Event nearly thirty years ago about the work at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after a major environmental catastrophe may gradually erased from the memory of the liquidator, but the pile of clothes and cars that glow from radiation emissions and wasted it zrynatymut in the minds of Nicholas Cooper.
