Chernobyl was the site of a nuclear power plant accident in 1986. According to Wiki, it was the worst disaster ever (and I seem to remember that being discussed that when it happened) and the only "level 7" disaster ever, whatever that means.

Chernobyl is a city in Ukraine. It was the site of a nuclear disaster in the 1980's and has since been totally abandoned. It is also featured on the Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare as the backdrop to a playable level.
The world's worst known nuclear disaster was at Chernobyl, in the Ukraine. The Chernobyl Disaster, as it is called, happened on April 26, 1986. There is a link to a Wikipedia article on this below.
No, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is not operational. The last remaining reactor was shut down in December 2000 due to safety concerns and international pressure. Today, the site is primarily used for decommissioning and cleanup efforts.
Chernobyl is owned by Ukraine, as it is located within Ukrainian territory. The site of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which experienced a catastrophic nuclear disaster in 1986, is managed by the State Agency of Ukraine for the Management of the Exclusion Zone. The area remains largely uninhabited and is subject to strict regulations due to ongoing safety and environmental concerns.
Yes, Chernobyl is a city.
Chernobyl is located in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. Specifically, it is situated about 130 kilometers (approximately 81 miles) north of the capital city, Kyiv. The site is most famously known for the catastrophic nuclear disaster that occurred in April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Today, it remains largely abandoned and is part of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, which is a protected area due to radioactive contamination.
Following the explosion at the Chernobyl power plant, Reactor Unit 1 continued operating while Units 3 and 4 were permanently closed. However, Unit 1 was eventually shut down in 1996 due to safety concerns and the overall decommissioning process of the Chernobyl site began.
