Chernobyl was a nuclear power facility and on April 26th 1986, in Reactor 4 (Where the explosion occurred) There were around 30 workers. Only 1 died from the immediate explosion. Several other workers suffered from acute radiation sickness and died. Many firefighters who were called to the fire that night also suffered from radiation sickness. So all together there were a lot of people there the night of the accident, but only about 30 in the reactor at the time. And all together 47 firefights/workers died.
