What happend in chernobyl?
there was a meltdown at a nuclear plant that caused irrevoable damage and nuclear posioning for generations to come. It is still considered dangerous to go there.
What is the worst nuclear incident in the world's history?
The worst nuclear accident in history happened at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine, on 26 April 1986. An explosion and fire released massive amounts of radioactive particles into the atmosphere. The deadly radiation spread over Western USSR and much of Europe. The effort to contain the contamination cost 18 billion rubles (~18 billions USD.) The accident resulted in 31 deaths at the site of the explosion. Even today, long-terms affects such as deformities and cancer are still an issue.
How did the Hiroshima bombing affect unborn infants?
The two most frequently cited nuclear contamination events are the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Chernobyl meltdown. Babies exposed to the bomb's radiation while still in utero were found to have lower IQs, higher rates of mental disability, and impaired physical growth and development.
Does America still have Atomic bombs?
Yes the United States still as nuclear weapons other countries with nuclear capability include Russia, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and possibly Israel.
When was the last nuclear power plant built?
New Nuclear plants continue to be built across the the world all the time. Here in the United States, it has become a political propaganda tool by some political groups who care nothing for what their stated goals are, but only for the leverage the subject can give them as a political power issue. This, along with safety concerns after the Three Mile Island accident, has led to a virtual halt to new nuclear plant construction here in the U.S., and an increase in coal and oil fired power plants that add to greenhouse gases and global warming. The rest of the world isn't quite as ignorant though. Japan is a good example of a country that gets most of its electricity from Nuclear Power. The only country where nuclear weapons have been used offensively, Japan uses Nuclear Power as their primary source of electricity. Japan is the 2nd largest user of Nuclear Power in the world. Though some incidents there have led to some construction slowdowns, new plants are still a priority for them.

Why is Chernobyl forbidden?
The area where the city of Chernobyl is, is highly radioactive after the nuclear disaster at the nearby power plant in 1986. A few people still live in the city, but the power plant is abandoned as is the nearby city Pripyat.
The world's nuclear power plant disaster occured in chernobyl a northern city in it became an independent from the former USSR in 1991?
The Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster happened in 1986, when the Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. Now it is an independent country, though still closely related to Russia.
Is Chernobyl occupied today?
No. Chernobyl is still contaminated with nuclear radiation, making this city unsafe to live in.
Is radiation still leaking from Chernobyl nuclear plant?
Yes. The government of Ukraine is wanting to invest 1 billion dollars to build another seal.
What is Reactor number four?
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
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.
What is chernobyl known for?
chernobyl is known for the massive nuclear disaster in the year 1986 on the 26 April at 03:23:44 a.m. utc+3 chernobyl is wat killed most ppl today and is now probalby still there
Was the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl the same as other reactors around the world?
No, the RBMK design was evolved in the Soviet Union, and has not been used anywhere except Russia and former Soviet Bloc countries like the Ukraine. Russia has now moved to PWR reactors, but I think some RBMK's are still operating there. Existing ones had some mods made after Chernobyl to improve safety. All the Chernobyl reactors are shutdown permanently. this was a condition of EU assistance.
When did Chernobyl close?
The Chernobyl Reactor is still active.
What is the name of the nuclear power plant which is currently leaking in Japan?
Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is still leaking and it is hoped to be repaired by 2020.
Where was Chernobyl in 1986?
Exactly where it is today. Despite the nuclear disaster there, it didn't move It's still in northern Ukraine, in Kiev Oblast, near the border with Belarus.
