The Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which occurred on April 26, 1986, resulted in immediate deaths of 31 emergency workers and plant staff due to acute radiation sickness. Long-term estimates of fatalities due to radiation exposure vary widely, with the World Health Organization suggesting that up to 4,000 additional deaths could occur among the higher-exposed groups. Other assessments, including those by Greenpeace, suggest that the eventual death toll could be much higher, potentially reaching tens of thousands. Overall, the exact number of deaths remains a subject of debate and varies depending on the methods used for estimation.
