Abstract
Radioactive radiation is the common part of our lives due to natural sources producing the radioactive radiation. The radiation coming from the nuclear power plants is very law comparing to natural or common sources unless some accident happens. The paper deals with two well-known major nuclear power plant incidents and one local silent accident which took place in Czechoslovakia. Three Miles Island as an accident with no direct fatalities is introduced from the medical consequences point of view. Some longterm researches reports no consequences another ones shows the coincidence with rising cancer incidency in local male population. Chernobyl environmental consequences in Czechoslovakia are introduced as well as the concealing of the information by the communist government. The accidents in the Czechoslovak first nuclear power plant in Jaslovske Bohunice are introduced in more detail as well as the solution and risk taken by the employees. The first reactor A1 was later shut down after accident with the coolant leakage, for the government stopped to trust the original technology developed by Czech and Slovak engineers which differs to current nuclear technologies in many ways.
