You are probably thinking of Chernobyl. This is actually in the Ukraine, but at the time of the disaster there it was part of the Soviet Union. I'm not aware of any severe accidents in Russia as it is now. However accidents like Chernobyl have international repercussions because the fallout can be carried across national boundaries by the weather. In that case, with the Soviet government's secrecy policy, the fact it had happened only became known by picking up traces in countries like Sweden. The fallout covered Scandinavia and as far as the UK, we had a long period when sheep grazing in Scotland and the north of England were contaminated.

Is an environmental consequence of nuclear energy?
The ultimate result is the pollution of the environment. Any nuclear accidents leave the area unusable for centuries. When the nuclear reactor melted down in Russia in the 80's it left the entire area radioactive. People can no longer live there and any plants and animals are affected by the radiation that still exists.
Why does Russia use nuclear power?
Because Russia lacked natural resources

Where are the nuclear power plants in the Philippines?
Philippines has a nuclear power plant, but it does not operate.it can be found in Bataan. it is not operating, because the people of Bataan are afraid of the hazards that might happen. these arepossible accidents, routine emissions of radiation, radioactive wastes and thermal pollution.another reason why it does not operate is because of what had happened in Chernobyl, Russia, wherein, the power plant exploded because of flawed nuclear power plant structure and inadequately trained personnel.

What is the the future of nuclear power?
Nuclear power underwent a decline after the accidents at 3 mile Island and in Chernobyl Russia, but it is starting to come back around in popularity as it is clean plentiful power if handled correctly. the future would have to be fission reactions using hydrogen, basicly creating a mini sun and harnessing it's power. This presents many problems and can't be implemented until it is fully understood. this type of reaction is self sustaining and can get out of control.
