Nuclear power has always been met with fear of harm and loss of lives. The name Chernobyl invokes the same fear in the masses whenever it is brought up.

Chernobyl is a Nuclear Power Plant near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union best known for the Chernobyl disaster.

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and has been rated as the worst nuclear disaster in history, with regards to cost and casualties.

Chernobyl disaster has been ranked at the maximum severity on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The unfortunate incident occurred during a safety test on the steam turbine of an RBMK-type nuclear reactor when the power output unexpectedly dropped to near-zero.

The Chernobyl disaster involved an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction leading to a few explosions that destroyed the reactor building. This released sufficient airborne radioactive contamination (at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core) which was in suspension in parts of the USSR and Western Europe for nine days before ending on 4 May 1986.
