April 26, 1986, was one of the worst days in human history due to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. The disaster claimed the lives of over 25,000 people and released a mass of dangerous nuclear radiation over large areas of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
Decades after the Chernobyl disaster, the aftermath is still felt, and concerns about nuclear safety have escalated due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
