This is a graphic reconstruction of the path of the first 14 days of the 1986
Chernobyl radioactive plume. It was created by the Institut de Radioprotection
et Sûreté Nucléaire
(IRSN),
the French Government's official agency on radiation and nuclear matters.
IRSN produced “The Chernobyl Plume: Modelling atmospheric dispersion of caesium-137 across Europe following the Chernobyl accident,” an updated simulation made in March, 2011 (French with English subtitles). It explains the path of the radioactive cloud over Europe between 26th April and 6th May 1986. The following text is mirrored from this film simulation:
