Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster |
Tour Booking and Info:
click here >
 On
26 April 1986, reactor # 4 at the Chernobyl (Chornobyl) Nuclear Power Station, 100 km north
from Kiev, blew up during a routine daily operation. Nearly nine tons of
radioactive material - 90 times as much as the Hiroshima bomb - were hurled into
the sky. Winds over the following days, mostly blowing north and west, carried,
fallout into Belarus, as well as Russia, Poland and the Baltic region.
The radioactive fallout affected 23% of Belarus, with 4,8% of Ukrainian territory and 0,5% of
Russian land exposed. About 135,00 people were evacuated from a 30-km radius
around the plant, with the peripheral areas remaining at a high risk of
radioactive exposure.
The reactor was enclosed in a concrete-and-steel sarcophagus. Over the following
years about 600,000 people known as "the liquidators" worked on
clean-up operations inside the 30-km zone.
Although scientists agree that there is no risk of the sarcophagus exploding,
the status of the estimated 180 tons of radioactive material
trapped inside the nuclear power plant is still unclear.
