We had heard about many disasters which happens around the world. Many types of natural disaster and man made disasters happens around the world.
   
Here I am telling you about one of a most dangerous nuclear disaster which happened in Chernobyl, a city in Ukraine.
Chernobyl was one of the most important city on the time of  Soviet Union.It was famous for Duga Radar, a system used as a part of the Soviet Missile Defense early warning radar network.The system operated from July 1976 to December 1989.

The incident happened on 26 April 1986 at the nuclear reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The nuclear power plant blast and explode and released the radio active reactor core into the atmosphere and downwind. This radio active elements spread every where in air ,water and also in the atmosphere.




                           There were four nuclear plants.This is the fourth nuclear plant
                                         which blasted and released the radio active elements.
                            
This disaster was one of the worst industrial disaster in the history of the world. This disaster happen due to a human error. The radiation of this disaster not only happened in Ukraine but also its neighbouring countries like Poland , Russia , Romania , Hungary and also spread in some parts of India.





























After this disaster more than 30,000 people have been force to move and have been relocated outside of that area.There was no other option for the Soviet government because if the people will not evacuate from that place they will get radiated and also suffer many  health problems.


After this incident the Soviet Government appointed armies to pick up this radio active elements.Each army were given only five minutes for duty. They were given a special protective suits to prevent from the radiation.






          
Nearly more than 60,000 people were dead due to this disaster. Many people died due to cancer and other health issues. To date, the impact on mental health and the cancer is the largest public mental health problem resulting the accident.


More than 30 years after this disaster, Chernobyl is still a radioactive city, not a single person is living there. It has 
completely become a ghost town. If we visit today we can see only abandoned buildings, houses , schools , shopping malls and many 
empty sites.



     

 




                         
The city is completely abandoned today, not a single person is live here due to the 
highly dangerous radiation.                       





Today, Chernobyl bekons to tourists who were intrigued by its history and its danger.But through Chernobyl symbolizes the potention devastion of nuclear power. Chernobyl is one of the most dangerous historical disaster in the world.
