The Chernobyl explosion in 1986 primarily affected Ukraine, where the nuclear power plant is located, but its radioactive fallout spread to several neighboring countries. Belarus experienced significant contamination, with large areas rendered unsafe for habitation. Additionally, parts of Russia, particularly in the northwest, were also impacted, along with regions in Eastern and Western Europe, including Poland, Sweden, and the Czech Republic. The long-term effects of the disaster have had widespread health and environmental consequences across these regions.
