During the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986, approximately 115,000 people were evacuated from the surrounding areas, particularly the city of Pripyat and nearby towns. An additional 220,000 people were later resettled from the most contaminated regions. The evacuation efforts aimed to protect residents from the harmful effects of radiation released during the nuclear accident.
None, but the nearby town of Pripyat was evacuated

The population of Chernobyl - city - is 500.
Because of the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, not many people live there. Chernobyl, Ukraine has a population of 500.
Yes, millions of people were affected by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. The explosion and subsequent release of radioactive materials contaminated large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, leading to widespread health impacts. Thousands of people were evacuated, and many more were exposed to radiation, resulting in increased rates of thyroid cancer and other health issues. The long-term effects are still being studied, but the disaster had profound implications for public health and the environment.
The Chernobyl disaster released radioactive materials equivalent to about 100 megaelectronvolts (MeV) of energy.
31 people died directly as a result of the incident. However, the knock-on effects of the incident has caused many other issues which are still being monitored and may have and will result in the death of other things, like cancer.
Pripyat is an abandoned city in northern Ukraine with a population of 0 people that live there. There are people that visit there for tours to see the effects of the Chernobyl disaster, but no one currently lives in Pripyat due to the high radiation levels.
One reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down in the 1986 disaster.
The Bridge of Death near Chernobyl is significant because it was a location where many people witnessed the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Those who crossed the bridge were exposed to high levels of radiation, leading to health issues and even death. The bridge serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of the Chernobyl disaster on the lives of those affected.
About 35000 out of 45000 evacuated the city and many people did not come back.
