What famous disaster happened at Chernobyl in Russia?
There was no famous disaster (or anything else) at Chernobyl in Russia as there is no such place. However for the disaster that occurred in Chernobyl in the Ukraine, please see the related question.
How did the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl cause environmental issues in Europe?
it threw radioactive materials into the atmosphere which was spread by the weather
What is the most famous nuclear disaster in Europe?
The most famous Nuclear disaster in Europe was the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster in Ukraine. Nuclear radiation from an explosion in one of the four reactors leaked into the surrounding area and the near by city of Pripyat. Over 50,000 people had to be evacuated. 50 workers and firemen were killed and thousands of others died of cancers related with being exposed to the radiation from the disaster. Chernobyl and Pripyat are still heavily radioactive today and can still cause nuclear mutations if exposed for to long.
Where was the Chernobyl disaster at?
It was in the Ukraine, however it affected many countries across Europe and the world
What country in Ukraine experienced a nuclear disaster?
The country that was affected most is Belarus, because it is the smallest country and 1 part of 3 is dead. Then goes Ukraine because it is bigger and it least effected. And then goes Russia because it is giant and affected least. Good luck!
What former soviet city did a famous nuclear accident happen?
Prypriat is the soviet city that is now deserted due to the chernobyl disaster.Iit was the city built to house the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear plant so was in very close proximity to the disaster
Where is Pripiat?
Pripiat is a city very close to Chernobyl in Ukraine. (Ukraine is a nation in Eastern Europe) It is in Northern Ukraine near the border of Belarus.In 1986 a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant in Chernobyl exploded, causing a complete evacuation of Pripiat. Some died, only because it exploded at 1 o'clock in the morning, local time. The United Nations then launched a project in Pripiat to help the people devastated by the disaster.
What radioactive elements were in chernobyl?
The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (officially Ukrainian SSR), which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central Moscow's authorities. An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster).[1] The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the Soviet economy.

Were did the worst nuclear disaster in history occur?
Chernobyl, Russia on April 26th, 1986. A nuclear power plant exploded and the nuclear radiation spread all across Russia and many parts of Europe. There were 31 recorded deaths that were directly related to the accident and an estimated 30,000-60,000 cancer related deaths linked to it over the years.
Which part of Europe is Chernobyl in?
It is sort of central-Eastern Europe.
Did people in Europe believe the world was going to end when Chernobyl exploded?
It's entirely possible. Not just Europeans, but the world, is endangered by nuclear power or it's mismanagment.
What is the main reason for the world wide slowdown in the construction of nuclear power plants?
Answer 1This may be valid in developed countries as in the European Union and the Us as those countries are not in no much need of more energy as well as they they succeeded in increasing the life time of their nuclear power plants from 40 to 60 years. However, in other countries as China, India, South korea, Countries of Eastern Europe, Russia, Middle East countries there are lots on nuclear power plants under construction at a high rate. Answer 2Additionally, many developed countries are afraid of the types of nuclear meltdown that Chernobyl and Fukushima have made famous. Answer 3The Chernobyl nuclear accident consequences were exaggerated in the eyes of developing countries just to distract them from adopting nuclear power programs. Ukraine where Chernobyl accident happened has 15 operating nuclear power plants and two under construction. The Japan earthquake that happened in March 2011 was the strongest in Japan history and was accompanied by more than 14 meter high Tsunami that resulted in 20 thousands victims and the loss of external power as well as the emergency diesel and the emergency batteries. The reactor did not break as well as the concrete containment and there was no above limits radiation exposures to the public. There was no reactor victims except two that died because of the tsunami.
