Chernobyl

Chernobyl is a accident that happened on April 26, 1986 in which a powerful catastrophic explosion destroyed the 4th power block of the nuclear power plant at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Industry in Chernobyl, Ukraine. This accident became the most terrible nuclear accident in the world. The explosion released a lot of radioactive particles and gases in the air which spreaded over  western Europe. The result of the explosion caused 31 people to die and many others poisoned because of the amount of radiation being exposed. A lot of people were evacuated in nearby towns like Chernobyl.
