Chernobyl Disaster

On April 26th 1986 one of the four reactors at the Chernobyl power plant exploded. This then resulted in other explosions and the spread of nuclear contamination all over the surrounding area and even in other countries. There were many effects on people from all over. Many people who were at the plant trying to get the situation under control died from radiation poisoning within a few weeks of the accident. People hired to clean up the chernobyl accident also had similar problems as they did not have proper protection. Now this plant and surrounding towns are abandoned and no-one can enter without permission from the government.
