Ukraine

people got involved..

it sucks, but yeah, blame the humans.

this is why nuclear is not everywhere, because there are people everywhere to screw it up

to tell you what happened with Chernobyl, first you have to understand how a nuclear reactor works.

in a nutshell, you have a fissionable material, it is condensed, and condensed until it produces heat on its own. these heat rods are kept in sheaths like a sword, and they keep the material cool.. there are many rods, and the more rods in the pool brought out, the higher the temperature of the water in the pool. it makes steam, and the steam spins a turbine to make electricity, and the power goes to your home.

Chernobyl happened because they were testing how to make more energy. see, they probably had a similar problem there, that they have here. People want power for their cell phones, and ipods, but they dont want to produce it, they dont like coal, they dont like nuclear. The people wouldnt allow another reactor to be built, so they were testing how the reactor would respond with more rods out of the sheathes than what was considered safe operation. (we have 50 rods, why do we only use 10 at a time? sort of thing)

so they had the normal 10 rods extended out into the pool to heat the water, then they told the computer to bring a couple more out, and a couple more, and they were really impressed, they were boiling twice the water in half the time, it was an exponential increase with just a few more rods, not double.

but what happened is that they didnt understand that the rods can heat up themselves, because they are so dense, but they can also heat the other rods, and they did. the rods got so hot they warped, then when they tried to put them back into the sheathes, they couldnt, and the reactor got so hot they couldnt put water into it fast enough to keep it cool, and it blew.

Chernobyl is still poisoned today. when the 20 or so rods out of the 50 blew, it didnt use all the material and detonate like an atomic weapon, but it detonated some, but blew the rest around, like a dirty bomb. the radiation is nearly gone, but all the plants an animals an people are dead/dying/toxic due to exposure.

nuclear is a wonderful source of energy, this is why the navy has reactors in nearly all the aircraft carriers, there are safeguards in place, and people are not allowed to mess with it. on land, its a different story, and its all about the money money money, and safeguards are put by the wayside. if they can produce double the power using a fraction more rods, they will. and this is how greed destroyed a beautiful town and lives, and the complete nuclear industry

Thousands occur every year, most of which are too small to notice.

The country that was affected most is Belarus, because it is the smallest country and 1 part of 3 is dead. Then goes Ukraine because it is bigger and it least effected. And then goes Russia because it is giant and affected least.

Good luck!

The Ukraine has huge deposits of coal and iron ore. Therefore, the main minerals in Ukraine are carbon and haematite.

Yes, Ukraine is the largest European country (but it is not in the European Union).

The Ukraine imports several items from other countries. Some of these are chemicals, motor vehicles, other transportation equipment, textiles, and minerals.

The Crimean War took place between France and Britain on one side and Russia on the other, and was fought over who had control of Christian holy places in Palestine (then ruled by the Ottomans, who are now called Turks).

The Crimea is an area which used to be an area of Russia in the Black Sea, but is now part of Ukraine, where the main battles were those of Baklava, Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol, and also in the Ottoman Empire, where the main battles were at Sinop, Istanbul and Varna, which are now located in modern day Turkey and Bulgaria.

Many Slavic countries celebrate the tradition of Ded Moroz ("Grandfather Frost"). He is accompanied by his granddaughter Snegurochka ("The Snowmaiden"). However, in the Ukraine, while everyone is eating Christmas Eve dinner, angels bring the gifts and leave them near the Christmas tree.

Yes. It is about 312,679 square kilometres while Ukraine is about 603,628 square kilometres.

Ukraine have only qualified for one world cup, in which they reached the quarter finals. They lost their first game to Spain. It is the first time in the world cup history that a country has reached the quarter finals after loosing their first game 4-0.

Between $3,920 and $7,000

It is a developing country with incomes lower than that of Poland, Latvia, Hungary and Romania (its western neighbours) but similar to that of Russia (its big eastern neighbour). Yearly salaries are estimated at an average of between $4,000 and $7,000 per year. It's GDP (nominal) per capita is $3,920 according to the International Monetary Fund (Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita) which is similar to that of Ecuador, Albania, Georgia and Iraq. For comparison, Luxembourg's GDP (the world's richest country) is $113,044, Qatar's is $93,000, the USA's is $47,000, Poland's is $13,799 and Burundi's (the poorest on this list) is $138

I am an American and I recently married a woman from Ukraine. She has earned a PhD in Engineering, the equivalent of a Master's in Accounting and she has many well educated friends consequently, I have very reliable sources of information and I have discussed the issue of salaries with many of these people as recently as February, 2011.

The short answer is that the average annual salary in Ukraine is approximately equal to $1,800-2,000.00 USD for a college graduate. Politicians make considerably more but this is a reflection of the corruption in the government there and not reflective of the value of the services provided by these thieves! The life for these amazing people is difficult and one cannot help but admire them in many ways. My wife is intelligent, funny and gorgeous and she doesn't have that "attitude" women in the USA seem to enjoy. I wish all women were like the one I married; it would be heaven on Earth!

no Ukraine used to be its own little country look at an old map to find the answer

Two countries are on the southern border of Poland. They are the Czech Republic and Slovakia. At one time they were one country known as Czechoslovakia, but it became two countries on the 1st of January 1993.

That will be Poland. It is the only country that has access to Baltic sea and is still bordered by Germany (right side), Lithuania (top), Ukraine (left side).

the Cossaks is the common last name in Ukraine and hrynda is too

Odra in Polish or Oder in English and German is the river defining most of the boundary between Germany and Poland. The remaining part of the boundary with Germany is along its tributory, the Nysa River. Odra River starts in the Czech Republic and reaches the Baltic sea to the north of the city of Szczecin. It forms a delta with three branches that empty into the Baltic Sea via the Gulf of Pomerania.

After gaining independence from the former Soviet Union, Uzbekistan started the transition to a market economy. Its economy is the 163rd freest out of the 195 countries in the world.

The ancient Slavic tribes of polyans, drevlyans, volynans, dulibs and white croats.
