The Chernobyl disaster occurred on 26 April 1986 at about 1:23 a.m. at the V.I. Lenin nuclear power station in northern Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union), 3 km from the city of Prypjat and 18 km from the city of Chernobyl. It was the most serious nuclear accident ever at a nuclear power plant, and one of the two accidents classified as catastrophic with level 7 (maximum of the INES scale) by the IAEA, together with the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant in March 2011.
A cloud of radioactive material escaped from the reactor and fell on large areas around the plant, heavily contaminating them and requiring the evacuation and resettlement in other areas of about 336 000 people. Radioactive clouds also reached Eastern Europe, Finland and Scandinavia with gradually decreasing levels of contamination, including Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Balkans, as far as parts of the east coast of North America.
