Actually there were hundreds of isotopes released, about the same mix (any isotope having mass numbers from 72 to 161) as one would get from any fission bomb but in much larger quantity as the reactor core is much larger than any fission bomb core.
A few of the isotopes and some effects (where known) are:
- selenium-75
- krypton-85
- strontium-90, replaces calcium in bones causing weakening and/or cancer
- zirconium-95
- niobium-95
- xenon-127
- telerium-132
- xenon-133
- iodine-131, concentrates in thyroid killing it and/or causing cancer
- cesium-134, replaces potassium in the body causing widespread damage
- cesium-137, replaces potassium in the body causing widespread damage
- lanthanum-140
- cerium-144
- promethium-145
- promethium-147
- etc.

How did the explosion at Chernobyl compare to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The bombs dropped in Japan were designed to produce a large nuclear explosion which produced heat and blast waves. At Chernobyl an operating reactor lifted its top off due to a surge in pressure, and this flung out radioactive debris, not as a result of a nuclear explosion but due to mechanical forces. There was approx. 400 times the amount of radiation released from Chernobyl than there was from the two bombs dropped on Japan.
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 many people were killed chernobyl accident?
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 resulted in the direct deaths of 31 people, mainly due to acute radiation exposure. However, the long-term impact of the accident, including increased rates of cancer and other health issues, has led to varying estimates of the total number of deaths attributable to the disaster.

Nitrogen has two stable isotopes: N-14 and N-15 and 14 radioactive isotopes.
What are the naturally occurring isotopes of lithium?
Lithium has two natural isotopes (6Li and 7Li).

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.
