What is the significance of chernobyl?

Chernobyl is the worlds worst nuclear disaster. It leaked 100 times the radiation than the two bombs dropped on Japan. Chernobyl is a nuclear power plant that it's reactor 4 exploded.It is located in Pripyat, urkrain. It happened August 27, 1987.


Where was the nuclear explosion at in 1986?

I don't know of one specifically, there was still underground nuclear testing at the time so there might have been several that year. If you are thinking of the reactor explosion at Chernobyl that year, that was not a nuclear explosion, just a large steam explosion when the coolant water flash vaporized blowing the roof off the reactor. Once the graphite moderator in the core was exposed to air it caught fire, this was the worst part of the disaster as burning graphite is nearly impossible to put out and the smoke was carrying all kinds of radioactive material from deep in the core.


Was Chernobyl a German head of state?

I cannot find any evidence that there was ever a German head of state by that name. It's a Ukrainian word (for a plant, the one that's usually called "mugwort" in English), making it fairly unlikely that a high German official would have such a name.Chernobyl is most famously the name of a city near the worst nuclear power plant disaster ever (at least so far). Chernobyl (both the city and the power plant) are in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. The accident happened in 1986, and access to Chernobyl (again, both the city and the former power plant, but especially the plant itself) are still restricted and limited for health and safety reasons. It's estimated that it may be 20,000 years before radiation in the area drops back down to normal "safe" background levels.
