It is the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The effects of the disaster at Chernobyl were very widespread. The World Health Organization found that the radiation release from the Chernobyl accident was 200 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined. The fallout was also far-reaching. For a time, radiation levels in a Scotland were 10,000 times the norm. 30 lives were directly lost during the accident or within a few months after it.
