In the early hours of 26 April 1986, one of four nuclear
reactors at the Chernobyl power station exploded. The
city of Chernobyl is located in Ukraine
(formerly part of the Soviet Union). The explosion
and fire released large quantities of radioactive
contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over
much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered
the worst nuclear power accident in history. Much of
the fallout was deposited close to Chernobyl, in parts of
Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. More than 350,000 people
resettled away from these areas, but about 5.5 million
remain. Soil contamination is likely to be a concern for
many years to come, adversely affecting the economic
prospects of the area.
The Ukraine led the world in marking the 25th
anniversary of the disaster in 2011 with church services
and candlelit vigils. Tributes were paid to the many
firefighters and clean-up workers who died soon after
the accident from acute radiation poisoning.
