Well, it's a matter of opinion really. Chernobyl let out 100 times more radiation out than Hiroshima and the radiation traveled all over Europe, contaminating many water supplies and has been reported to have been the cause of over 3 million children getting sick, however it has only killed about 4000 people. Hiroshima had less radiation and was less dangerous yet killed more people because it was dropped in such a densely populated area.
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.
The two most frequently cited nuclear contamination events are the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Chernobyl meltdown. Babies exposed to the bomb's radiation while still in utero were found to have lower IQs, higher rates of mental disability, and impaired physical growth and development.
Chornobyl or Chernobyl, is categorized as a city in northern Ukraine, in Kiev Oblast Province, near the border with Belarus. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. It is the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The effects of the disaster at Chernobyl were very widespread. The World Health Organization found that the radiation release from the Chernobyl accident was 200 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined. The fallout was also far-reaching. For a time, radiation levels in a Scotland were 10,000 times the norm. 30 lives were directly lost during the accident or within a few months after it. Many of these lives were those of the workers trying to put out the graphite fire and were lost from radiation poisoning.
They are totally rebuild and safe on radiation.

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster released an estimated 400 times more radiation than the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is difficult to quantify the exact amount of radiation released, but it is estimated to be around 100 times more than the combined releases from the atomic bombings and the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
They are high enough to be concerned about in the immediate area around the reactors, but as compared to Chernobyl, they are minuscule. It fades to insignificance compared to the radiation caused by the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Chernobyl disaster released around 400 times more radiation than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion exposed millions of people to radiation and had widespread environmental consequences compared to the more localized impact of the atomic bomb.
Radiation is pollution and chemicals mixed together
No. Chernobyl is still contaminated with nuclear radiation, making this city unsafe to live in.
the happenings in Chernobyl were that the nuclear reactor 4 blue up sending a plume of radiation over chernobyl killing lots of peeps
