1st Answer:

No towns were destroyed. People were evacuated from the nearest town, Pripyat, but there was no physical damage, just radioactive fallout which is invisible.

2nd Answer:

Based on the articles with links below, we can guess 200 or more communities were rendered uninhabitable, including Prypiat, a city that had about 50,000 residents.

The Zone of Alienation is an area in the Ukraine where there was sufficient contamination that people had to be evacuated. According to the article with the link below, there are 90 communities in the Zone. The infrastructure in these communities, after 24 years without maintenance, is crumbling. There were 120,000 people who lived there, including the residents of Prypiat.

According to the article on the History of Belarus, there were an additional 135,000 people there who had to be permanently relocated. Since these people lived in communities similar in size to those of the 70,000 Ukrainian evacuees who had lived outside Prypiat, we might guess that there were well over 100 communities evacuated. In addition, about 2.2 million people in Belarus have to have their health monitored for effects of radiation poisoning.

What is the Chernobyl nuclear accident?

A steam explosion followed by graphite fire that destroyed an RBMK nuclear power reactor, dispersing most of the radioactive material in the reactor's core across the Ukraine and much of Europe. The firefighters and many other emergency workers called to the site died from radiation poisoning. The causes of the disaster are complex including an unsafe design, improperly performing a test, repeated failure to follow safe operating procedures, having a manager in charge of the test with no nuclear reactor experience (his training was in hydroelectric power), etc.

How did nurses die in the Chernobyl disaster?

Only four people were actually killed during the blast but the radiation spread so far that it caused many mutations and cancer. But four people died immediately and they were all scientists. The vast majority of deaths resulting from the disaster were to emergency responders who arrived after the problems were identified, and people living in the area of the plant. The number of them are in dispute.
