Let us remind you that the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred 31 years ago.
Strong radioactive radiation affected the area within a radius of 30 kilometers from the scene of the incident. However, the scale of the accident was much greater. In addition to the Ukrainian settlements affected by the disaster, villages in 19 regions of Russia, where almost 3 million people lived, were exposed to radiation contamination. Also, radiation quickly spread in some areas of Belarus and reached Europe.
