The Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which occurred in April 1986, resulted in immediate deaths of two plant workers on the night of the explosion and 28 emergency responders died from acute radiation sickness shortly afterward. Estimates of long-term cancer-related deaths among those exposed vary widely, with the World Health Organization suggesting that up to 4,000 people may eventually die from radiation exposure related to the accident among the higher-exposed groups. Overall, the total number of deaths attributed to the disaster remains uncertain and is subject to ongoing research and debate.

What is the most famous nuclear disaster in Europe?

The most famous Nuclear disaster in Europe was the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster in Ukraine. Nuclear radiation from an explosion in one of the four reactors leaked into the surrounding area and the near by city of Pripyat. Over 50,000 people had to be evacuated. 50 workers and firemen were killed and thousands of others died of cancers related with being exposed to the radiation from the disaster. Chernobyl and Pripyat are still heavily radioactive today and can still cause nuclear mutations if exposed for to long.

Who was at the chernobyl when it happened?

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.
