Chernobyl - Details of the Worst...

Kelly Mass

On April 26, 1986, the world witnessed one of the gravest technological disasters in human history: the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe. Occurring at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant's No. 4 reactor in Pripyat, then part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, the event not only claimed lives but also left a legacy of environmental and human suffering that persists to this day. This calamity stands as the deadliest nuclear accident in history, both in terms of its immediate human cost and its staggering financial implications. It remains one of only two incidents—alongside the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan—classified as a Level 7 event, the highest rating on the International Nuclear Event Scale.
Responding to the crisis required a monumental effort, involving over 500,000 personnel for emergency operations and subsequent environmental cleanup. This massive endeavor cost approximately 18 billion Soviet rubles, a figure equivalent to $68 billion in 2019 when adjusted for inflation. The scale of the response underscores the unprecedented challenges posed by the catastrophe, as well as the Soviet Union's desperate attempts to mitigate its consequences.
The disaster itself unfolded during a scheduled safety test designed to assess the reactor's ability to maintain critical operations during a power outage. The test was carried out on an RBMK-type reactor, a design already known to have significant safety flaws. During the test, a sudden and unexpected drop in power output brought the reactor to near-zero levels. The operators, unaware of the reactor's increasing instability due to incomplete and misleading operating instructions, attempted to bring the power back up to the required level. However, these efforts placed the reactor in a precarious and highly unstable state.

Hidden History of Texas Volume 1...

Hank Wilson

The Hidden History of Texas, Volume 1 - 1530 to 1820 
 
This is the often-untold story of the history of Texas from when the Spanish first set foot into Texas until they relinquished control to Mexico. This is the story of the original inhabitants of the land and their interactions with both the Europeans they encountered and other indigenous people of the time. The events that took place during that time, laid the groundwork for what was to come. The story is filled with heroes and villains and looked at it through the eyes of the people who lived it. 
  
It is called the Hidden History of Texas, because if you don’t dig, you’d never know about it or these people. It’s not taught in the schools other than a brief mention of some of the more famous Indian tribes. Without these people and their activities, it is doubtful many of us would be here today.
