Chernobyl Nuclear Meltdown

Chernobyl is located in the Ukraine and it is most known for a massive nuclear meltdown that happened on April 26, 1986. The plant operators decided to run multiple test on the reactor, however one of their safety systems backfired on them as they ran the reactor at a low level and that caused a massive steam explosion. The masses of fission products floated in the air causing other parts in the Ukraine to become radioactive. This results in the town to be evacuated and no one has came back ever since. Chernobyl is notorious for being a ghost town and that’s what people associate it as. After the disaster the current radioactive environment is home to numerous animals that have turned it into their home.

Chernobyl is also famous for being featured as one of the maps on Call of Duty. It’s reputation of being a “ghost town” has attracted tourist throughout its time. The guides always warn the tourists to be aware of radioactive places and wild animals.
