Panel Tabbed Accident Day At Chernobyl Panel Tabbed Accident Day At Chernobyl
A Soviet official announced a panel was named the day of the Chernobyl disaster as Moscow defended its reporting. Ivan Yemelyanov said reactor heat surged to 50 percent in 10 seconds before the explosion and that the chain reaction was stopped. He declined to link the surge to the blast and noted uncertainty over causes. Gorbachev said a hydrogen pocket exploded after the surge. Yemelyanov cited no new casualty figures, while Dr. Robert Gale warned of thousands exposed to radiation and possible future deaths. The Shcherbina commission was said to be at work the day of the accident.
