Where was the location of a nuclear accident that pumped 50 times more radioactive material into the environment than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined?
Chornobyl or Chernobyl, is categorized as a city in northern Ukraine, in Kiev Oblast Province, near the border with Belarus. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. 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. Many of these lives were those of the workers trying to put out the graphite fire and were lost from radiation poisoning.

Having nuclear plant is the right move in Malaysia?
There is a tremendous amount of debate about whether nuclear power plants are good in any country. Nuclear power has several advantages: it emits no air pollution or greenhouse gases, and it does not depend upon fossil fuels (which are getting more expensive). The disadvantages are that if a nuclear power plant is not run correctly it can have a very destructive accident (such as the infamous Chernobyl incident) which is far worse than anything that can happen with other kinds of power plants; and it is difficult to dispose of the nuclear waste which they produce. Greater use of solar power and wind power would seem to be a better move.
Should Maryland evacuate?
