This three year old boy is just one of the Sacrifices from Tjernobyl

The first wawes of death are almost coming immediately for the persons who have been exposed to a huge radiationsdose. The radiation destrays their centralnervoussystem without which you cannot live. Those who have not been exposed for huge radiationdoses die of damages in the stomach and the intestinessystems. The symptoms are no appetite, nausea, vamiyng, diarrhoea, stomachkramps and weight loss. When these symptoms are observed: Tiredness, fever, headache, too high bloodpressure we call it radiation sickness.

Here you can see how long the radioactive sky spread itself around the world

If people are exposed of a little radiation people will be very tired and eat nothing. People will maybe get nausea and dirrahoea. If peple are exposed for a bigger radiation people can risk bloodstained nausea or solid vomiting, some not can stop. After a time you can get hair loss, bleeding in your jaw and bleeding wonder in your skin. After 6-7 days you will begin to get a little bit better. If you are exposed for a little bigger radiation you will get a collapse in your digestionsystem with bloodstained nausea and bleeding interior. After this you will probably die.


Acute damages

Acute damages are described as: to have reduced or absent function of loom or organ as a result of a large dose of radiation where a great number of cells have been destroyed e.g. because of radiationcombustion on the skin or innate handicap. The handicap is prevented the radiationdose is not exceeded the thresholddoser. The acute damages are shown within the first 60 days after you have been exposed by radiation. How serious the damage is depends on the person the radiationdose and the size of the person. Acute damages arise only if have within a short time (hour/24 hours) received doses of radiation which have exceeded the threshold doses.


Kongenial malformation

Irradiation of a fertilisation egg can umply that the egg will be destroyed - the same counts foetus by very huge doses. Further more deformity, brain damage or cancer can appear. The risk of cancer later in life is 10% and the risk of deformity is 5%. The damages depend on when in the radiation finds place.


Animals ill from radiation

One big part of the English sheep and other animals that work and grass became radioactivity from the accident in Tjernobyl. It rains on the grass and the animals eat it. The animals that are irradiated painted are painted with a porticulon colour. In Scandinavia many deer were exposed to radioactive fallout. From 1986 to 1990 there were some places.

Also many animals got ill from the radiation

Facts

When the accident happend 31 persons were killed immediate.

Cancer can arise 0-50 years after postponement for radiation.

Facts

More than three million people in Ukraine are still ill after the Tjernobyl disaster.

Facts

Scientists estimate that the accident in Tjernobyl will up to year 2030 cost 8000 cancear cases in Europe.
