HOWDY!!!!
MOSCOW (AP) _ Kremlin leaders, blaming gross negligence for the Chernobyl nuclear accident, fired four officials, but some Soviet citizens suggested that those responsible should be punished more severely.
According to a report from the ruling Politburo published Sunday, 28 people were killed as a result of the April 26 accident, 30 remain hospitalized and 173 others suffer from radiation sickness.
The report said the accident at the nuclear power station in the Ukraine caused $2.8 billion in damage.
The nation’s power supply was disrupted, local factories and farms forced to close, and 400 square miles of land in the northern Ukraine and southern Byelorussia were contaminated.
At least 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes around the plant.
Three government officials and a man involved in designing the No. 4 reactor were fired and several may face criminal charges as a result of the reactor explosion and fire at Chernobyl, the Politburo report said.
The report, published in the official media the day after the Politburo met in special session to discuss history’s worst atomic power disaster, said the accident resulted from gross negligence when workers conducted poorly supervised, badly planned and unapproved experiments on a turbine generator.
Two dozen Soviets questioned about the report Sunday in Moscow’s Gorky Park seemed less concerned with the economic consequences than with the punishment of those responsible.
″I’d give them all the highest punishments they could get,″ said a young man walking with his toddler son. ″If the death penalty is possible, that would be okay,″ added the man, who was in civilian clothes but said he was a member of the military.
″The measures taken could have been sterner,″ said Yevgeny, a history student visiting from the town of Kalinin north of Moscow.
″This is something that affects not just our generation, but future generations as well,″ added his companion Ira, also a student.
Officials fired included Yevgeny T. Kulov, head of the State Committee on Safety in the Nuclear Power Industry; G.A. Shasharin, a deputy minister of power engineering and electrification; and Alexander G. Meshkov, a deputy minister of medium-sized machine building.
A reference book published by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency says the ministry to which Meshkov was attached runs some military-related programs. Kulov also worked there before being named to head the safety committee when it was established in 1983.
Soviet media have not mentioned any military function of the Chernobyl plant. Planecon Inc., a private group of economic analysts in Washington, has said Chernobyl-type graphite-moderated reactors can produce varying grades of plutonium. High-grade plutonium can be used in nuclear weapons.
The fourth man fired was Ivan Y. Yemelyanov, deputy director of the institute that designed the reactor.
His dismissal implied possible faults in the design of the 13 other graphite-moderated reactors in the Soviet Union.
The Politburo report did not specify how much power was lost because of the accident, which prompted immediate shutdown of the other three reactors at Chernobyl. Two of them are scheduled to resume operating by October.
Nuclear energy official Andranik Petrosyants has said that a plant such as Chernobyl should produce 28.5 billion kilowatt hours of power a year, or about 16 percent of the 170 billion kilowatt hours of electricity produced by Soviet nuclear power plants last year.
The official news agency Tass said on June 26 that thermal power stations had made up 10.4 million kilowatt hours of power lost from Chernobyl in two months.
The figures suggest that the Chernobyl disaster may virtually wipe out a projected 13.5 percent increase in Soviet nuclear power output this year.
