- Chernobyl Disaster:
-
Accident at the nuclear power plant at a site in Northern Ukraine, 20 km to the south from the border with Belarus and 140 km to the west from the border with Russia. The accident occurred on the 26th of April 1986 during an engineering test of the fourth reactor unit. Improper operation of the reactor in combination with design mistakes resulted in uncontrollable power surge. After steam explosions, the reactor was destroyed, and radioactive materials were spread out which led to the release of a large amount of radioactive substances into the atmosphere and subsequent pollution of the territories not only of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia but also of European countries (Harrison and Hester 2011).
- Radioactivity:
-
The emission of ionizing radiation or particles caused by the spontaneous disintegration of atomic nuclei (Atomic Energy n.d.).
- Radionuclides:
-
Radioactive forms of chemicals. They are not...
