The Chernobyl Catastrophe

On April 22, 1986, one of the worst nuclear catastrophes in the world occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant on the territory of the former Soviet Union. At 1.23 a.m., technicians at the Chernobyl plant allowed the power in the fourth reactor to fall to low levels as part of a controlled experiment, which went terribly wrong.

The reactor overheated and resulted in an explosive force of steam, which blew off the lid of the reactor. Large amounts of radioactive material were released into the atmosphere. Most of the discharged matter was deposited close by as dust, but the wind carried the lighter radioactive material over the south-western parts of the USSR and some territories of Europe.

Many people were affected by the catastrophe, which caused 31 immediate deaths. The main casualties were among those who fought the fires caused by the explosion. When the fires were extinguished, a crew of about 200,000 people was initially employed to clean up the site. Later, the number swelled to 600,000.

Nowadays, the Chernobyl reactor is buried in a cement tomb and it is strictly forbidden to enter the contaminated area around the plant.

1. The Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe occurred in the spring of 1986.

2. The lid of the reactor was blown off by a force of steam.

3. Radioactive elements caused brain damage.

4. European countries weren't affected by the catastrophe.
