The accident was in 1986. An experiment went wrong and produced a very rapid surge in steam pressure which blew the top of the reactor off.

The land in Chernobyl remains contaminated with high levels of radioactive materials from the 1986 nuclear disaster. This contamination has led to restrictions on human habitation and agricultural activities in the area. Efforts are ongoing to manage and mitigate the long-term impacts of the disaster on the land.
