Anatoly Dyatlov was a soviet engineer
He was the deputy chief engineer
At the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
He supervised the safety test
Which resulted in the disaster
The accident was caused
By completely inappropriate
Characteristics of the reactor
They blamed us, that we had violated the regulations
By increasing the reactor power after power loss
There was no violation, everything had been done
According to the regulation demands
The reactor protection system
Designed to stop the fission
In an emergency situation
Played the role, of the atomic bomb detonator

Radiation
Contamination
Radiation is energy
That comes from a source
And travels through space
At the speed of light
This energy
Has an electric field
And a magnetic field
Associated with it
Radiation
Contamination
Radiation is energy
In the form of particles
Or electromagnetic rays
The three most common
Types of radiation
Are alpha particles
Beta particles, and gamma rays

Uranium
235
The nucleus of the U235 atom
Comprises of 92 protons
And 143 neutrons
When the nucleus of the U235 atom
Catches a moving neutron
It splits in two and releases
Some energy in the form of heat
When this happens over and over again
Many millions of times
A very large amount of heat Is produced
From a relatively small amount Of uranium

Four of these reactors
Were installed at Chernobyl
One of which experienced
An uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction

90 Seconds
02:41

Chernobyl liquidators
Were the civil and military personnel
Who were called upon
To deal with the consequences
Of the nuclear disaster
They had to clear highly radioactive graphite
From the reactor roof
Each liquidator only had 90 seconds
To undertake their duties
Due to the very high level of radiation
The liquidators are widely credited
With limiting, both the immediate
And long-term damage from the disaster
In the 90 seconds they spent
On the reactor roof
They received a lifetime dose of radiation
Many liquidators, were praised as heroes
By the soviet government, and the press

Acute Radiation Syndrome

Acute radiation syndrome occurs
If a person is exposed
To more than 700 milli-gray
Of absorbed radiation
Within a short period of time
Usually, minutes
Common Acute radiation syndrome symptoms
Include nausea vomiting headaches burns and fever
Radiation doses between
4000 and 5000 milli-gray
Within a short period
Would kill 50% of those exposed
The firefighters who died
After attending the incident
Were exposed to up to 20,000 milli-gray
Of absorbed radiation

Ballad For Pripyat

After the Chernobyl incident in 1986
The residents of Pripyat were told
That the evacuation of the city
Was just for a few days
Whilst radiation levels were brought under control
They never returned

KRAFTman has had a passion for electronic music for over 40 years, right from the minute he saw Tubeway Army perform "Are
Friends Electric?" on Top Of The Pops.
It will come as no surprise that KRAFTman is a massive Kraftwerk fan and has recorded several of their songs, in addition he has written and recorded his own compositions, including a song called "Florian", dedicated to Florian Schneider.

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤

Like many of you, I bought this on cassette in the early 80's and it was a guiding light to the electronic music of the decade. I had a black bomber jacket and I wrote B.E.F. on the back on large letters, with TIPEX! Class..........Wore it everywhere for years

The great Cat Temper does it again! 10 more synthpop bangers with titles like “Growls on Film” and “Electric Pawpurrella.” Instant classic.

A pair of beautifully ghostly songs from this Philly group that set haunting and mysterious melodies amidst drifting rivers of electronics.

The debut full-length from noted game composer Megan McDuffee is slick and moody electropop with more than a hint of darkness. Plus vocals!
