The Chernobyl explosion in Ukraine was one of the worst disasters in history. At the time Ukraine was under the Soviet Union's (U.S.S.R's) control. An enormous nuclear power plant was built in Ukraine. But something went wrong and reactor number four exploded sending poisonous radiation into the atmosphere causing destruction and danger to the people and environment. The U.S.S.R. did its best to cover up the disaster from the rest of the world by shutting down all communications, but it didn't take long for the world to find out! The nuclear disaster will affect our earth for centuries.
