The amount of nuclear material that was spread in the air was more than the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This disaster affected half of Europe, all the residents of parts of northern Ukraine and southern Belarus were evacuated. Those who lived there had the largest stores, well-equipped hospitals and beautiful apartments. Despite all these facilities, this city was famous for other things. The local residents loved the nature around the city, especially the rivers full of water that roared even on hot summer days. But there was a downside to this city. Specialists had installed RBMK reactors near this city, which at that time were highly capable of producing nuclear weapons. This high capability sometimes became dangerous, like if you drive a car at high speed but the brakes don't work properly. At the Vladimir Lenin nuclear power plant, four reactors were operating at full power. The former mayor later said: The last days before the disaster were like heaven. But this paradise was going to turn into hell in a short period of time. One of the most bitter ironies about the Chernobyl disaster is that all the factors that caused this disaster had already come out during the test phase. On the night of April 25, 1986, scientists at the plant decided to see if the Chernobyl turbines would be able to produce enough electricity to keep the plant running during a blackout. For this experiment, they made a series of irreparable mistakes. They disabled the emergency cooling of the reactor core. As a result of all these events, there was an explosion that became known as the mother of all explosions, radioactive particles. Two of the reactor workers were killed at the same moment. The interesting thing is that the engineers still have a device called a Geiger counter, which is usually used to measure radioactive pollution. At that time, this device showed the lowest level of radioactivity. That is, a figure that, if you are in a nuclear base, is considered a figure or a normal contamination. But when the radioactive contamination gradually spread, the Geiger counter suddenly stopped working. In the late 1990s, it became clear that Ukraine does not have the ability to build a safe roof in the Chernobyl power plant, and there is a possibility that the old roof will collapse and another disaster will occur. It was in early 2000 that a new structure was built for this power plant, which experts believe is an engineering masterpiece in Eastern Europe. This structure was built 300 meters from Reactor No. 4 and it took 10 years to assemble. This structure is taller than the Statue of Liberty in America and bigger than the Olympic Stadium. In 2016, this project was completed and cost 1.5 billion dollars. It is said that this structure will last for the next 100 years. Scientists believe that in the next hundred years, mankind may not need to build a new structure for the reactor. But what happened to the city of Perpiat, this man-made paradise? This city was abandoned and took on a strange face. In the absence of humans, trees and forests advanced into the city and many domestic and wild animals came to live in the city. All the people left the city. Just a few years ago, the Ukrainian government allowed some of the residents of Chernobyl to return to the city. Currently, it is said that 200 people live in the city, but they are somehow playing with their lives every day. If the war in Ukraine ends, you can go and meet these residents. Chernobyl is currently one of the tourist places in the world. The Chernobyl disaster is known as the worst nuclear disaster in history. Even the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011 cannot be compared to the Chernobyl disaster. The story of Chernobyl has no end, it is said that humans should not live in this area for the next 24 thousand years. In 2019, HBO made a mini-series called (Chernobyl) on the subject of this disaster, which was welcomed by critics. On November 9, 1989, the world witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall. An iron wall that separated the east and west blocks. This was the beginning of the end of the Communist rule in the Eastern Bloc and the collapse of the Soviet Union. There were no protests against Moscow in Ukraine until 1991. But when Ukraine became crowded, people came to the streets with symbols of the Chernobyl disaster. In the bag, people came to the streets with masks and nuclear protective clothing and had symbols in their hands that reminded of the Chernobyl disaster. They wanted to announce how much Ukraine was affected by this disaster. On August 24, Ukraine officially became independent from the Soviet Union. But the effe
