11 workers were never found however, even with the search efforts, and were presumed dead. The oilrig burned till April 22nd, when it sunk to the bottom of the gulf. On April 24th, oil is found leaking from the well, this came as a shock to many experts on the matter and further research using underwater cameras showed that the well was spewing out an estimated amount of 1,000 barrels of oil per day. It was only now that the engineers came to know that the valve mechanism, the blowout preventer, which is intended to stop the flow of the crude oil from the well, had failed to activate. As the days progressed, more shocking news reached the US coastguard, who have reported that the oil spill rate is around 5,000 barrels per day.
Throughout this experience I was given an enormous amount of support both personally and professionally. As a result it has truly molded me into the leader I am today. Being in a leadership position is very important and carries with it a lot of responsibility. The leadership style I exhibit today is one that is proactive, helping my staff to implement new ideas and empower others to fulfill their greatest potential both personally and professionally. This analysis will discuss the leader’s experience with performing transformational and the impact it has on the individuals for which they manage.
The Chernobyl Accident took place at the Chernobyl Power Complex in what is now known as the Ukraine, on April 26, 1986. The accident occurred in the Chernobyl 4 reactor, which was destroyed due to many variables, including a flawed Soviet design, serious mistakes by plant operators, and lack of safety codes due to Cold War isolation. When the incident first occurred, one of the plant personal died immediately and a second died later in the hospital. Twenty-eight operators and firemen died within three months of the disaster. The reactor was going through a test to see how long turbines would spin and supply power to main circulating pumps after a loss of main electrical power supply.
In the thirty kilometer radius of the plant, a hundred and sixty one thousand people were evacuated due to the twenty five thousand square kilometers being heavily contaminated by nuclear radiation (Discovery Channel). The nuclear plant is located fifteen kilometers northwest of Chernobyl and just three kilometers away from the small town of Pripyat where most of the families of the workers of the plant lived. It is hard to believe four years before this incident, a partial core meltdown had occurred on reactor number one. This accident was not made public before several years. After this incident, the reactor was fixed and was back running in several months.
Introduction Walt Disney is a highly respected leader and applauded by the masses as the man who made dreams come true. In this report, we analyze Walt’s effectiveness as a leader by utilizing material from books, the internet, and documentaries, and ultimately demonstrate reasons why we admire him. For the purpose of this report, we defined effectiveness as the leader’s ability to create a positive long-lasting influence on organizational culture. Our report is split into 4 themes: Firstly, we discuss the importance of Walt’s passionate and nurturing traits. Next, we examine the effectiveness of his task-oriented behaviour in light of different situational factors.
Report on the Chernobyl Disaster On the 26th of April 1986 a failed reactor test resulted in the world's worst nuclear disaster, subsequently displacing over 200 000 people, and instantly killing a further 54 residents and emergency workers. This was then called the Chernobyl disaster. The disaster was due to the running of a test in the early hours of that day. The test was done to see the effects of running the reactor at low power. When the test began the reactor was slowed down, to the lowest operating power.
After only a couple of hours, it sank with losing nearly1490 lives, but fortunately, 711 people were saved. Despite being meant an unsinkable ship, it foundered in about two hours (Paul Louden-BBC). That collision had its own causes. First of all, though the wireless workers had received several ice notices from other vessels in the area, the Titanic persisted to rush through the darkness at nearly full steam. The lookouts detected a huge iceberg less than a quarter of a mile off the broadside of the ship.
The Titanic had been warned enough times and the captain is responsible for the deaths. The captain, Edward John Smith, made a wrong decision and resulted in a disaster. Ever since the Titanic sank the disaster has fascinated people; they've sent expeditions down to explore the wreck, they've written books, they've made documentaries, movies, and money out of all this. The shipbuilders Harland and Wolff insist that the Titanic was never advertised as an unsinkable ship. They claim that the 'unsinkable' myth was the result of people's interpretations of articles in magazines and newspapers.
A few months before the accident, related workers, engineers and supervisors expressed their concern about the safety of the work environment because not enough cement was being used to stabilize the drilling platform. After that, methane leaked out in the evening on April 20th, and the drilling rig was soon engulfed in flames. Most of the workers were rescued; however, there were still 11 workers missing even though the Coast Guard searched for them for three days. After 36 hours of burning, the drilling rig sank in the morning on April 22nd. According to the investigation report by the U.S. Coast Guard and Ocean Energy Authority, the cement for reinforcing the oil well was the main reason for this disaster.
