[35 First Days after the Chernobyl Accident (Eyewitness Rating)]
Abstract:
April 26, 1986 a tragedy occurred: a reactor exploded at Chernobyl. A lot is written about this tragedy. Pre- sented here are different estimates of this event, including opportunistic and absolutely non-qualified. The article describes the situation during the first 35 days after the accident, in other words, what the author saw with his own eyes. The author himself was involved in the treatment of irradiated patients at hospital No 6 and took part in the liquidation of the accident at the site of the Chernobyl reactor disaster zone, within a 30-km. zone.

Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
