チェルノブイリ

『チェルノブイリ』（原題：Chernobyl）は、2019年5月6日から6月3日まで、アメリカ合衆国・HBOおよびイギリス Sky UKにより製作・放送されたテレビドラマ。今回の準主人公であるステラン・スカルスガルドとエミリー・ワトソンは スコットランドを舞台にした”奇跡の海” のあの二人。 原子力発電所事故の代名詞である チェルノブイリが舞台。放射能の危険性について主人公の ヴァレリー・レガソフは放射性物質の危険性をことごとく述べています。放射能中毒になるとモルヒネのような鎮痛剤を通す血管が破壊されるので、患者は地獄の苦しみを味わうと。ウランから発せられる放射能はあらゆるものを貫く弾丸であると。弾丸は1回のみですが、放射能という弾丸は何十年も時には何千年も降り注ぐと。人間の発明には負の部分も付随すると思いますが、原子力の負の部分にいたってはいいところを圧倒的に凌駕していると感じます。とにかく危険すぎる。現在ウクライナのザポリージャ原発を占拠しているロシアが放射能を爆破によってまき散らす危険性があるとニュースで聞きましたが、 ザポリージャのもたらす損害は チェルノブイリの比ではないとのことです。

今回事実を淡々と描写していく過程が恐怖を増長しています。今回のドラマはユーモアや癒しは一切ありません。

英語に関しては強烈なアクセントは皆無。聞きやすい部類に入ると思います。

Where a typical power plant makes steam by burning coal, a nuclear plant...In a nuclear plant, we use something called fission. (チェルノブイリ)

We take an unstable element like uranium , which has too many neutrons.

- A neutron the bullet. So, bullets are flying off of the uranium. Now if we put enough uranium atoms close together, the bullets from one atom will eventually strike another atom. The force of this impact splits that atom apart, releasing a tremendous amount of energy, fission. (チェルノブイリ)
