Abstract

PIZZINGA, Vivian Heringer. About Chernobyl: analysis of some factors related to work situations in Pripyat nuclear power plant. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, pp. 143-156. ISSN 1516-3717.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-0490.v23i2p143-156.

Based on the sitcom Chernobyl and the stories of Svetlana Aleksiévitch's book, Tchernobyl voices, about the Pripyat's nuclear accident in 1986, this article discusses aspects related to the work relations and conditions that are evoked by the scenes. The Chernobyl tragedy can be seen as a work accident that caused 4000 to 93000 deaths. The aspects to be discussed are related to power relations, the relation between prescribed work and real work, and others. In the proposed analysis, contributions of work psychodynamics, worker health, French ergonomy and theoretical discussions about the work world will be used. And even with the fact that these reflections are caused by some variable parts of fiction, they can be useful to the discussion of the aspects that may lead to disease in work.

Keywords : Work accident; Worker health; Ergonomy; Work psychodinamics.
