Why did chernobyl lead to acid rain in the uk?

In a roundabout way perhaps. Chernobyl was a nuclear Power plant. Once up and running, these don't contribute to acid rain. But when it was shut down, in all probability, Power plants relying on fossil fuels were worked harder, burning more fossil fuels. And burning fossil fuel contributes to acid rain. Winds can easily carry the emissions from those Power plants over to the UK.
