The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on April 26th 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. It is considered the worst nuclear accident in history, and the only one classified at level 7 on the international nuclear event scale. At the time of the accident, local residents did not know the real level of radiation to which they were exposed, because they were not informed. The explosion created a toxic cloud that arrived everywhere in the world and is still flying above the Earth’s atmosphere. This explosion also caused many deaths from radiation and now a lot of people, especially children, are suffering from cancer and physical deformities as a result.
