During the year of 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear power plant that the 4th reactor melted down and formed a radioactive cloud spreading deadly radiation throught the northern Ukrainian and some parts of Russia and it all happened in Chernobyl,Ukraine. The cloud sickened and killed over 3,000 citizens and deformed many more. There are many birth defects in that area today due to the high levels of radiation. The huge population of 50,000 in Pripyat was reduced to an abandoned city. There was a flawed reactor design had also caused a steam explosion and fires releasing about 5% of the radio reactor core into the atmosphere.
