A steam explosion followed by graphite fire that destroyed an RBMK nuclear power reactor, dispersing most of the radioactive material in the reactor's core across the Ukraine and much of Europe.
The firefighters and many other emergency workers called to the site died from radiation poisoning.
The causes of the disaster are complex including an unsafe design, improperly performing a test, repeated failure to follow safe operating procedures, having a manager in charge of the test with no nuclear reactor experience (his training was in hydroelectric power), etc.
The Chernobyl Power Complex refers to the nuclear power plant that used to be in Chernobyl, Ukraine. It operated with four nuclear reactors to supply power to the region.
No, nothing happened like melting of people in Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident.
No. Chernobyl is still contaminated with nuclear radiation, making this city unsafe to live in.
chernobyl?
The Chernobyl accident was a major nuclear accident on April 26, 1986, at a power plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine. The actions afterwards were to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe, which involved 500,000 workers and cost about $18 billion.
The Chernobyl nuclear accident.
Russia, the nuclear plant was in the place called chernobyl :)
The Chernobyl Nuclear accident of April 26, 1986
Chernobyl is famous for the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.
the reactor accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Nuclear power accidents are a disaster. The 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine was a catastrophic accident.
A nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. And in 1986 a nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl. That's why radiation is linked with either of them.
No, not according to an Forbes article that states Chernobyl disaster (level 7 on International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale) was magnitudes worse than the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, which was a level 4 and likely be upgraded to a level 5.
True or False? ************ False.
No, Chernobyl is in the Ukraine, which is over 1,000 miles from the nearest part of Siberia.
