Overview

Chernobyl is a novel by Frederik Pohl published in 1987. It is based on the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. Plot summary Chernobyl is a novel in which the characters must choose between accepting substandard materials or delaying an already overdue reactor schedule. Reception Dave Langford reviewed Chernobyl for White Dwarf #98, and stated that "Avoiding Evil Empire stereotypes, Pohl does his own country a service by reminding us that lots of Americans detest the knee-jerk, anti-commie paranoia which sometimes seems to be the US national stereotype. The technical background is all there too, in palatable form."

Notable quotes

“There has been an accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. One of the nuclear reactors was damaged. The effects of the accident are being remedied. Assistance has been provided for any affected people. An investigative commission has been set up.”
— Vremya, 28 April 1986 (21:00)
“Chernobyl happened, first of all, because it was no automatic system of control. ... Why? It was a huge reactor, very heavy, ... very very heavy and big ... way bigger than reactors which we have here in the United States. So it is very more difficult to control. So, I would say, it was clear for many people that sooner or later it will be this accident.”
— Alexander Fridman, (quote at 2:15:42 of 3:38:33)
“I absolutely reject the accusation that the Soviet leadership intentionally held back the truth about Chernobyl. We simply did not know the whole truth yet.”
— Mikhail Gorbachev, Memoirs (1995).
“We were just not prepared for that sort of situation.”
— Mikhail Gorbachev, admitted in April 1996, ten years after the great mishap.
“After the 1986 meltdown, radioactive fallout scattered across much of the northern hemisphere, while some 150,000 square kilometres in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine were contaminated, according to the IAEA. That contamination spread as far as 500 kilometers north of the site.”
— Rob Picheta, “Europe’s largest nuclear plant is under threat. But experts say a Chernobyl-sized disaster is unlikely “, CNN, August 19, 2022
“Mankind has never experienced a misfortune of this magnitude, with consequences so grave and so hard to eliminate.”
— Boris Yeltsin
