The Chernobyl disaster, which occurred on April 26, 1986, resulted in immediate fatalities of two plant workers on the night of the explosion. In the following months, 29 emergency responders and plant staff died from acute radiation sickness. Long-term health effects, including cancer, have led to thousands of additional deaths, although estimates vary widely. The total number of casualties remains a subject of ongoing research and debate.

How did the explosion at Chernobyl compare to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The bombs dropped in Japan were designed to produce a large nuclear explosion which produced heat and blast waves. At Chernobyl an operating reactor lifted its top off due to a surge in pressure, and this flung out radioactive debris, not as a result of a nuclear explosion but due to mechanical forces. There was approx. 400 times the amount of radiation released from Chernobyl than there was from the two bombs dropped on Japan.
