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.

How is chernobyl like today?
There is a commercial on TV that is about Chernobyl but I don't know if it's real or fake.... but they say that still today Chernobyl is still not okay to visit for chemical reasons.
