Analysis of the version 'earthquake is the cause of the Chernobyl accident'
Creators
Description
If the calculated time of the beginning of the seismic event (at a distance 10-15 km from ChNPP) was correctly pointed out by the authors of 'earthquake' papers (01:23:39), then taking into account uncertainty of the distance to epicenter, it will fall within interval 01:23:39±6 s. If we superimpose (moving closer to seismic stations) the calculated point of epicenter with coordinates ChNPP, the time when the event occurred will be 01:23:45. In this case the seismic event began immediately after the beginning of the wrecking phase of the emergency process in the reactor, which was at 01:23:43 as demonstrated above. That's why we can state that on 26.04.86 seismic stations recorded local and powerful shakes (blows, explosions), which accompanied disastrous destruction of Chernobyl NPP unit 4. (J.P.N.)
