Chernobyl: The 1986 Nuclear Disaster
The 1986 disaster that killed 31 firefighters in weeks, exposed 8.4 million Soviet citizens to radiation, and set in motion the collapse of the USSR. Reactor 4 exploded at 1:23 am on April 26. Firefighters climbed the roof with no protective gear. Pripyat was evacuated 36 hours later. The graphite fire burned for ten days. Gorbachev learned 18 days after the world did. The liquidators, the sarcophagus, the health legacy, and the political fallout that broke the Soviet Union. — a daily series with new episodes every day.
