On April 26, 1986, reactor number four at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant outside the city of Pripyat exploded. It is the most significant nuclear accident to date.
In 2016, the United Nations set aside April 26 each year as International Chornobyl Disaster Remembrance Day. It is a day to remember the impact of the disaster on the environment, the town, and the 54 people who died as a result of the accident.
It was 1:23 A.M. on April 26, 1986, during an experiment, a significant explosion occurred at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Unit 4, an RBMK 1000-type, graphite-moderated nuclear power reactor in Pripyat. The initial blast dispersed radioactive particles over nearby towns, farms, and eventually to many other countries. Five hundred thousand brave firefighters, engineers, technicians, and emergency workers worked for over six months to minimize one of the worst civilian nuclear disasters in history. Radioactivity emanating from the Chornobyl disaster has been detected in Belarus, Poland, Russia, and in Scandinavia.
