The history behind the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was something that remains a “What If”. The disaster started from a series of technical difficulties and experiment gone wrong from the technical staff at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. For years, this plant had been efficiently running and providing reactors and power, which provided electricity. This accident occurred after works shut down the plant’s reacting system, which by a series of chain events, triggered an explosion that combined from multiple explosions, creating the accident that happened at the Chernobyl Power Plant.
On April 26, 1986, history would change forever. The series of chain reactions that resulted from an experiment gone wrong for the workers at Chernobyl resulted in one of the deadliest nuclear disasters in the history of the world. Upon the accident happening, tons of radioactive material were spread in the atmosphere and around Ukraine. People evacuated their homes and places of work, looking for places that the explosion and the effects with it didn’t reach. Radioactive debris were being spread locally, as well as nationally through Ukraine, with winds full of material reaching Swedish territory as well as other countries. The Soviet Union admitted that there had been an accident at Chernobyl, at first trying to cover it up.
Many injuries and deaths occurred from the blast. People within the radius were exposed to radioactive material, which resulted in lifelong illness and death. People were infected with radioactive material that spread into areas like the lungs and the heart. Almost all businesses, homes, stores, and places of leisure had to be evacuated. This accident resulted in the loss of many people, places, and money.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Accident was one of the deadliest things in the world, as it correlated with radioactive material, one of the deadliest substances in the world. People in the Plant, if lucky, as well as people surrounding it, were forced to leave their lives, homes, businesses, and sanity, in order to have a chance of surviving the blast and its effects. People contracted radiation sickness, which either killed them or made them terminally ill. With the disaster, the Soviet Union issued a zone or circle, where effects of the blast were still privy and thriving. People were advised to stay out of this zone, as if they were in it without proper equipment, they would get sick and die. This area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant spread over one thousand square miles. The accident overall resulted in around 50 deaths, witnesses say, but 130,000 people were evacuated. As of recent, tours were opened and provided audiences with a look inside what happened those fateful days at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant, and how it would shape the world and impact it forever.
