DESCRIPTION:
On April 26, 1986, reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant outside the city of Pripyat, exploded. It is the largest nuclear accident to date.
In 2016, the United Nations set aside April 26 each year as International Chernobyl 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 major explosion occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Unit 4, a RBMK 1000-type, graphite-moderated nuclear power reactor in Pripyat. The initial explosion dispersed a stream of radioactive particles over nearby towns, farms, and eventually to many other countries. 500,000 brave firefighters, engineers, technicians, and emergency workers worked for more than 6 months to minimize one of the worst civilian nuclear disasters in history. Radioactivity emanating from the Chernobyl disaster has been detected in Belarus, Poland, Russia and Scandinavia.
