How many people worked at chernobyl?

Answer 1

At the height of the Chernobyl disaster response, around 600,000 people, known as "liquidators," were involved in the cleanup and containment efforts. This included firefighters, military personnel, and workers from various sectors. In the immediate aftermath of the explosion in 1986, over 50,000 workers were involved in the initial containment and cleanup, but the total number of those who participated in various capacities over the years reached into the hundreds of thousands.
