**Bibliography Outline**
**Salem Witch Trials**
There are three main points to your Bibliography:
1. You must have at least 2 Primary sources. Primary sources are first-hand documents, from the time. Type of primary sources documents include:
a. Newspapers
b. Letters
c. Documents
d. Journals and Diaries
e. Speeches
f. Photographs
g. Oral histories and stories
h. Pamphlets
i. Books (as long as they are from the time you are writing about)
2. You must have at least 3 Secondary sources. Secondary sources are sourced written after the time, usually by historians and researchers. Your secondary sources must be from reputable locations. Guidelines to help:
a. No Wikipedia! It’s not a great resource. However, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you may find links to more legitimate sources.
b. Look for websites that end with a “.edu” or “.org”
c. Look for online journal articles, you have access to through the library.
i.
[http://durhamtech.libguides.com/az.php](http://durhamtech.libguides.com/az.php)
ii. JSTOR, The Journal of American History, American Historical Review are all good places to look
3. Your Bibliography must be properly formatted using one of the three main citation styles. Below you will find links on how to properly format for each style. Most historians use Chicago, so if you want to improve your historical writing, I suggest using Chicago, but it is not required.
a. APA:
[https://apastyle.apa.org/](https://apastyle.apa.org/)
b. MLA:
[https://style.mla.org/mla-format/](https://style.mla.org/mla-format/)
c. Chicago:
[https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html](https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html)
You do not have to use these websites, they are just the official page for each formatting style. There are other websites which will help you craft your citations, feel free to do a Google search and see if there is a citation creator you like. Microsoft Word also has a citation making feature as well.

A t 1:23 in the morning on April 26, 1986, Unit 4 of the V. I. Lenin Nuclear
Power Station exploded, tearing the top off the reactor building and
exposing the core to the Ukrainian wind. A few seconds later, it exploded again,
this time with the force of ten tons of TNT. Burning graphite, molten bitumen,
and radioactive debris—the misshapen half-atoms left over when uranium is split
apart—were launched into the night sky. The Battle of Chernobyl, as the disaster
came to be called by Soviet historians, had begun. The �ames raged on through
the night. In the ensuing days, helicopters �ew sorties over the reactor, dropping
sand to impede the �re and boron to slow the ongoing reaction. All told, thirty
people were killed in the explosion and the cleanup that immediately followed. It
took half a million workers, the so-called liquidators, more than six months to
cover the ruined reactor with a protective concrete dome, aptly known as the
sarcophagus. Even today, the work is not complete. A massive new steel shelter,
designed to �t over the sarcophagus, is scheduled to be �nished next year, but it is
meant to contain the reactor for only another century—longer than the life of a
person, but a fraction of the half-life of some of the contaminants present. The
Battle of Chernobyl had a clear beginning, but what of its ending? Was the �ght
only against �ame, fallout, and technological calamity, or was it a campaign
against something broader? Thirty years after the fact, it’s worth reëxamining how
the battle got started, and how it continues.
When people wish to downplay the strangeness and complexity of nuclear power,
they sometimes argue that reactors are not much different from teakettles: both
use a heating element to boil water and produce steam. This is true only in a very
basic sense, in the same way that a paper airplane and a Boeing 747 share certain
aerodynamic properties. A reactor is an immensely convoluted machine, full of
interlocking, non-linear systems. In most plant designs, the �ow of water around
the core must be constant, because the heat of �ssion can damage the reactor if it
is not sapped away. Keeping the water moving requires pumps, which run on

electricity from outside the reactor complex. In the event that this external power
fails, a backup system kicks in.
The Chernobyl meltdown originated in what was meant to be a demonstration of
the plant’s safety, speci�cally of its ability to switch between these power sources.
The test was several years overdue, and it was performed at a particularly
dangerous juncture. The reactor, a Soviet-designed RBMK-1000, was coming to
the end of its fuel cycle, meaning that the uranium in its core was mostly depleted,
leaving behind a motley mix of radioactive by-products. This made the reactor’s
operation less stable than usual, and much harder to control. When the test �nally
did happen, it was poorly scheduled. Rather than taking place under the
supervision of the seasoned day crew, it was delayed ten hours, to 11 �.�. on April
25th, and left to the night crew. These technicians disabled the reactor’s
emergency-cooling system—not a mistake, exactly, since the system would
otherwise have overridden the test, but also not a maneuver to be left in
inexperienced hands.
The operators made a critical error right at the start. They inserted the control
rods—graphite-tipped cylinders of boron carbide that slow or stop a nuclear
reaction—too far into the reactor. This decreased its output so much that there
was not enough energy left over to power the water pumps when the switch-over
occurred. The operators ought to have cancelled the test at this point, and indeed
they proposed doing so, but a supervisor overruled them. In an attempt to bring
the reactor back up to an appropriate level of power, they raised the control rods.
The reactor was now in a curious, quasi-stable condition: it was running cooler
than normal, because of the complicated chemistry of the spent fuel in the core,
but it could easily swing out of control. When the operators realized this, they
attempted to shut it down completely, reinserting the control rods in an operation
known as a scram. As the rods descended, however, they brie�y displaced coolant
from the core. The temperature spiked, causing the control rods to get stuck, and a
runaway reaction began. Then came the two explosions.

For many people in the West, Chernobyl has served as a kind of referendum on
nuclear power. Those who oppose it see the disaster as the ultimate embodiment
of industrial folly. They point to evidence, extremely difficult to con�rm, of
increased rates of cancer and birth defects in the region around the plant. Those
who support nuclear power, meanwhile—a slight majority of Americans today—
argue for better and safer reactors and more competent operators. But Chernobyl
has also had a strong and lingering political legacy. The Soviet state shared no
small part of the blame for the accident, yet even in the era of glasnost_ _it was
unwilling to admit it. (Outside the U.S.S.R., the �rst indication that something
was amiss at the plant came not from Soviet authorities, who initially kept quiet,
but from a nuclear-power station in Sweden, where fallout, carried by the wind
and tracked in on an employee’s shoes, set off the alarm during a routine screening
for radioactivity.) To condemn the design of the RBMK-1000, much less nuclear
technology itself, was to criticize Soviet know-how and jeopardize other
economically necessary reactors of the same type. Human error was the only
politically viable explanation. In the spring of 1987, Chernobyl’s operators and
engineers were subject to what the historian Sonja D. Schmid has called “perhaps
the last show trial of the Soviet era.” Not surprisingly, they were convicted.
There was the battle against the �re, and then there was the battle over its
political meaning. Today, there is the battle of memory. The Internet is replete
with videos of disaster tourists visiting the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, sometimes
with Geiger counters. Poke around in the bushes or buildings and you can
sometimes �nd something “hot”—a rubber boot or glove, a piece of misshapen
graphite. Stories abound of wild animals retaking the zone, and haunting
photographs of the abandoned town of Pripyat—especially of the ruins of its
carnival grounds—are now a staple of social media. (A friend of mine who visited
Chernobyl not long ago noted that there was a suspicious overabundance of gas
masks and creepy dolls in the town’s most cinematic locations.) But it is a mistake
to assume, amid the Cold War nostalgia and post-apocalyptic romance, that
Chernobyl was ever really relinquished. The undamaged portions of the plant
3/15/24, 12:32 PM The Battles of Chernobyl | The New Yorker

were in operation until 2000, run by workers who were paid triple their normal
wages. There are even some people—mostly elderly—who have, illegally and
unadvisedly, returned to their homes nearby, sometimes eating crops grown in the
contaminated soil. The acute radioactivity, the sort that can induce radiation
sickness and kill people quickly, has largely decayed. The lingering fallout poses a
long-term threat to anyone who inhabits the area, but if these people are old to
begin with, and small in number, they are likelier to die of other causes.
The late sociologist Ulrich Beck wrote that risk can help human societies
rediscover the importance of collective action and responsibility. But risk is a
tricky thing to wrap one’s head around, especially once the �res have gone out.
Does Chernobyl indict an entire industry, or does it show that, even at its worst, it
isn’t that bad? The truth seems to be somewhere in the middle. Chernobyl was a
disaster, but it was not the apocalypse. It was a highly speci�c event—speci�c to
the reactor and to the Soviet state that it was conceived in. But it should give us
pause to re�ect generally on the high costs of technological mismanagement and
deferred maintenance. It is easy to dismiss a few thousand extra cancers, out of the
hundreds of thousands of cancers caused by other sources, when they are not in
the bodies of our loved ones; it is easy to say that the Exclusion Zone is relatively
small when it is on the other side of the world. These battles of Chernobyl are still
being waged, but there may be no winners in the war.

photographs of the abandoned town of Pripyat—especially of the ruins of its
carnival grounds—are now a staple of social media. (A friend of mine who visited
Chernobyl not long ago noted that there was a suspicious overabundance of gas
masks and creepy dolls in the town’s most cinematic locations.) But it is a mistake
to assume, amid the Cold War nostalgia and post-apocalyptic romance, that
Chernobyl was ever really relinquished. The undamaged portions of the plant

were in operation until 2000, run by workers who were paid triple their normal
wages. There are even some people—mostly elderly—who have, illegally and
unadvisedly, returned to their homes nearby, sometimes eating crops grown in the
contaminated soil. The acute radioactivity, the sort that can induce radiation
sickness and kill people quickly, has largely decayed. The lingering fallout poses a
long-term threat to anyone who inhabits the area, but if these people are old to
begin with, and small in number, they are likelier to die of other causes.
The late sociologist Ulrich Beck wrote that risk can help human societies
rediscover the importance of collective action and responsibility. But risk is a
tricky thing to wrap one’s head around, especially once the �res have gone out.
Does Chernobyl indict an entire industry, or does it show that, even at its worst, it
isn’t that bad? The truth seems to be somewhere in the middle. Chernobyl was a
disaster, but it was not the apocalypse. It was a highly speci�c event—speci�c to
the reactor and to the Soviet state that it was conceived in. But it should give us
pause to re�ect generally on the high costs of technological mismanagement and
deferred maintenance. It is easy to dismiss a few thousand extra cancers, out of the
hundreds of thousands of cancers caused by other sources, when they are not in
the bodies of our loved ones; it is easy to say that the Exclusion Zone is relatively
small when it is on the other side of the world. These battles of Chernobyl are still
being waged, but there may be no winners in the war.

**Part A**
**Bibliography Outline**
**Salem Witch Trials**
There are three main points to your Bibliography:
1. You must have at least 2 Primary sources. Primary sources are first-hand documents, from the time. Type of primary sources documents include:
a. Newspapers
b. Letters
c. Documents
d. Journals and Diaries
e. Speeches
f. Photographs
g. Oral histories and stories
h. Pamphlets
i. Books (as long as they are from the time you are writing about)
2. You must have at least 3 Secondary sources. Secondary sources are sourced written after the time, usually by historians and researchers. Your secondary sources must be from reputable locations. Guidelines to help:
a. No Wikipedia! It’s not a great resource. However, if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you may find links to more legitimate sources.
b. Look for websites that end with a “.edu” or “.org”
c. Look for online journal articles, you have access to through the library.
i.
[http://durhamtech.libguides.com/az.php](http://durhamtech.libguides.com/az.php)
ii. JSTOR, The Journal of American History, American Historical Review are all good places to look
3. Your Bibliography must be properly formatted using one of the three main citation styles. Below you will find links on how to properly format for each style. Most historians use Chicago, so if you want to improve your historical writing, I suggest using Chicago, but it is not required.
a. APA:
[https://apastyle.apa.org/](https://apastyle.apa.org/)
b. MLA:

A t 1:23 in the morning on April 26, 1986, Unit 4 of the V. I. Lenin Nuclear
Power Station exploded, tearing the top off the reactor building and
exposing the core to the Ukrainian wind. A few seconds later, it exploded again,
this time with the force of ten tons of TNT. Burning graphite, molten bitumen,
and radioactive debris—the misshapen half-atoms left over when uranium is split
apart—were launched into the night sky. The Battle of Chernobyl, as the disaster
came to be called by Soviet historians, had begun. The �ames raged on through
the night. In the ensuing days, helicopters �ew sorties over the reactor, dropping
sand to impede the �re and boron to slow the ongoing reaction. All told, thirty
people were killed in the explosion and the cleanup that immediately followed. It
took half a million workers, the so-called liquidators, more than six months to
cover the ruined reactor with a protective concrete dome, aptly known as the
sarcophagus. Even today, the work is not complete. A massive new steel shelter,
designed to �t over the sarcophagus, is scheduled to be �nished next year, but it is
meant to contain the reactor for only another century—longer than the life of a
person, but a fraction of the half-life of some of the contaminants present. The
Battle of Chernobyl had a clear beginning, but what of its ending? Was the �ght
only against �ame, fallout, and technological calamity, or was it a campaign
against something broader? Thirty years after the fact, it’s worth reëxamining how
the battle got started, and how it continues.
When people wish to downplay the strangeness and complexity of nuclear power,
they sometimes argue that reactors are not much different from teakettles: both
use a heating element to boil water and produce steam. This is true only in a very
basic sense, in the same way that a paper airplane and a Boeing 747 share certain
aerodynamic properties. A reactor is an immensely convoluted machine, full of
interlocking, non-linear systems. In most plant designs, the �ow of water around
the core must be constant, because the heat of �ssion can damage the reactor if it
is not sapped away. Keeping the water moving requires pumps, which run on

electricity from outside the reactor complex. In the event that this external power
fails, a backup system kicks in.
The Chernobyl meltdown originated in what was meant to be a demonstration of
the plant’s safety, speci�cally of its ability to switch between these power sources.
The test was several years overdue, and it was performed at a particularly
dangerous juncture. The reactor, a Soviet-designed RBMK-1000, was coming to
the end of its fuel cycle, meaning that the uranium in its core was mostly depleted,
leaving behind a motley mix of radioactive by-products. This made the reactor’s
operation less stable than usual, and much harder to control. When the test �nally
did happen, it was poorly scheduled. Rather than taking place under the
supervision of the seasoned day crew, it was delayed ten hours, to 11 �.�. on April
25th, and left to the night crew. These technicians disabled the reactor’s
emergency-cooling system—not a mistake, exactly, since the system would
otherwise have overridden the test, but also not a maneuver to be left in
inexperienced hands.
The operators made a critical error right at the start. They inserted the control
rods—graphite-tipped cylinders of boron carbide that slow or stop a nuclear
reaction—too far into the reactor. This decreased its output so much that there
was not enough energy left over to power the water pumps when the switch-over
occurred. The operators ought to have cancelled the test at this point, and indeed
they proposed doing so, but a supervisor overruled them. In an attempt to bring
the reactor back up to an appropriate level of power, they raised the control rods.
The reactor was now in a curious, quasi-stable condition: it was running cooler
than normal, because of the complicated chemistry of the spent fuel in the core,
but it could easily swing out of control. When the operators realized this, they
attempted to shut it down completely, reinserting the control rods in an operation
known as a scram. As the rods descended, however, they brie�y displaced coolant
from the core. The temperature spiked, causing the control rods to get stuck, and a
runaway reaction began. Then came the two explosions.

For many people in the West, Chernobyl has served as a kind of referendum on
nuclear power. Those who oppose it see the disaster as the ultimate embodiment
of industrial folly. They point to evidence, extremely difficult to con�rm, of
increased rates of cancer and birth defects in the region around the plant. Those
who support nuclear power, meanwhile—a slight majority of Americans today—
argue for better and safer reactors and more competent operators. But Chernobyl
has also had a strong and lingering political legacy. The Soviet state shared no
small part of the blame for the accident, yet even in the era of glasnost_ _it was
unwilling to admit it. (Outside the U.S.S.R., the �rst indication that something
was amiss at the plant came not from Soviet authorities, who initially kept quiet,
but from a nuclear-power station in Sweden, where fallout, carried by the wind
and tracked in on an employee’s shoes, set off the alarm during a routine screening
for radioactivity.) To condemn the design of the RBMK-1000, much less nuclear
technology itself, was to criticize Soviet know-how and jeopardize other
economically necessary reactors of the same type. Human error was the only
politically viable explanation. In the spring of 1987, Chernobyl’s operators and
engineers were subject to what the historian Sonja D. Schmid has called “perhaps
the last show trial of the Soviet era.” Not surprisingly, they were convicted.
There was the battle against the �re, and then there was the battle over its
political meaning. Today, there is the battle of memory. The Internet is replete
with videos of disaster tourists visiting the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, sometimes
with Geiger counters. Poke around in the bushes or buildings and you can
sometimes �nd something “hot”—a rubber boot or glove, a piece of misshapen
graphite. Stories abound of wild animals retaking the zone, and haunting
photographs of the abandoned town of Pripyat—especially of the ruins of its
carnival grounds—are now a staple of social media. (A friend of mine who visited
Chernobyl not long ago noted that there was a suspicious overabundance of gas
masks and creepy dolls in the town’s most cinematic locations.) But it is a mistake
