概要

 On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine suffered a catastrophic explosion at reactor No. 4 during a safety test. The disaster was fueled by design flaws in the RBMK reactors—specifically graphite-tipped control rods and a lack of containment structures—and the Soviet state's focus on speed and cost over safety. The Soviet government initially attempted to conceal the magnitude of the event, but international pressure rose after Sweden detected high radiation levels. Leading the cleanup was scientist Valeri Legasov, who coordinated the efforts of over 600,000 "liquidators," including miners and divers who performed heroic tasks to prevent a secondary explosion. The accident caused approximately 30 immediate deaths and thousands of subsequent thyroid cancer cases, particularly in children. Legasov eventually shared the truth about the state’s culpability through secret tapes before his suicide in 1988. While various urban myths about mutants and aliens persist, scientific data confirms that while the general population's health risk is low, the 30km exclusion zone will remain uninhabitable for 20,000 years.
