Чернобил қолдиқлари
An explosion at the Chornobyl (also Chernobyl) nuclear power plant on April 26, 1986, sent radiation spewing across Ukraine, Belarus, and other parts of Europe in what become known as the worst civilian nuclear disaster in history. Dozens of people died in the initial cleanup and many thousands suffered health problems as a result of radiation, but the final health fallout is unknown.
