The Chernobyl tragedy is the largest peacetime radiation catastrophe that has ever occurred on this planet. It is considered to be the worst manmade nuclear disaster in world history. The consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear explosion are vast and heartbreaking. The Chernobyl nuclear accident is a global environmental event which has left thousands of refugees and long term contamination of the land, water and air. On April 26, 1986 at 1:23 AM, a nuclear explosion took place in Reactor Number 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located in Ukraine. 190 tons of highly radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere. Scientists say that the amount of radionucleides, released into the environment, is equal to the effect of twenty nuclear bombs. Despite the fact that the accident occurred in 1986, its subsequent problems have not disappeared.
