The Chernobyl reactor failed due to a combination of design flaws, operator error, and inadequate safety measures. During a safety test, operators violated safety protocols leading to a sudden power surge which caused a steam explosion and a subsequent graphite fire, releasing radioactive materials into the environment. The lack of a containment structure exacerbated the release of radiation, resulting in a catastrophic nuclear accident.
The school in Chernobyl, Pripyat, was located around 1.5 kilometers (0.93 miles) away from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant reactor that exploded in 1986.
One reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down in the 1986 disaster.
The Chernobyl reactor is not operational and has been encased in a cement sarcophagus since the 1986 disaster. The temperature inside the sarcophagus is monitored and is not at extreme levels; however, radiation levels are still high in the vicinity.
Reactor number 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded on April 26, 1986.
The nuclear reactor that exploded and burned in the 1980s was located near the town of Chernobyl in Ukraine. The Chernobyl disaster, which occurred in 1986, released a significant amount of radioactive material into the environment and is considered one of the worst nuclear accidents in history.
The Chernobyl Reactor is still active.
The Chernobyl reactor lid weighed about 1,000 tons when it was in place.
this was rote by amandaTHE Chernobyl Disaster was caused by a reactor.

1986
the reactor accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant.
No, nothing happened like melting of people in Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident.
chernobyl
the happenings in Chernobyl were that the nuclear reactor 4 blue up sending a plume of radiation over chernobyl killing lots of peeps
One reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down in the 1986 disaster.
Chernobyl started from an inherently unstable design, it's considered a breeder reactor, really good at making weapons grade plutonium but functionally unstable. The actual incident occurred during testing of the reactor to see how far it could be pushed.
