April 26, 1986
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant - the first-born of the nuclear power industry of Ukraine - has become a symbol of the biggest technogenic disaster in the history of mankind.
At the fourth power unit of the station, a powerful explosion occurred, equivalent to 500 Hiroshima bombs. This event radically changed the lives of millions of people.
As a result of the accident at the nuclear power plant, radioactive contamination occurred within a radius of 30 kilometers. 19 Russian regions were exposed to radiation pollution. This territory is almost 60 thousand square kilometers with a population of about three million people. As a result of the catastrophe, about 23% of Belarus and large areas of Europe were contaminated with radioactive cesium.
On December 17, 2003, the delegates of the 58th session of the UN General Assembly accepted a resolution on Chernobyl, emphasizing the long-term nature of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. It provided for the strengthening of international cooperation and coordination of efforts in mitigating and minimizing these consequences.
And in memory of all the victims of this accident and those who took part in the liquidation of its consequences, memorable dates have been established - in Russia, in Belarus and Ukraine.
