The Chernobyl disaster happened on April 26 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Pripyat, Ukrainian SSR, which was part of the Soviet Union at the time. It is often regarded as the worst nuclear disaster in history.

The incident occurred during a late-night safety test in Chernobyl's fourth reactor. A sudden power surge caused a large explosion and the discharge of a significant amount of radioactive elements into the atmosphere due to a combination of design defects and operator errors. Large amounts of radioactive particles, including iodine-131, cesium-137, and strontium-90, were discharged as a result of the explosion and ensuing fires.

The direct impact of the explosion killed two plant workers, and 29 more perished in the days that followed from acute radiation illness. The long-term effects of the Chernobyl tragedy were severe, with an increase in malignancies, particularly thyroid cancer, among people exposed to the radiation. To minimize future exposure, the affected area was evacuated and a huge exclusion zone was constructed.

Chernobyl had far-reaching consequences for nuclear energy policies, safety standards, and public opinion of nuclear power. It also contributed to the eventual breakup of the Soviet Union by highlighting the government's secrecy and reluctance to divulge information about the catastrophe. Significant changes resulted from the accident.
