The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, Ukrainian SSR (then part of the Soviet Union, now Ukraine).

During a test in one of the reactors, there was a sudden increase in power. This caused the reactor to break open with strong explosions and release dangerous radioactive material into the air. Many people had to leave their homes, and large areas were polluted. It is considered the worst nuclear power accident in history.
