What is Chernobyl : the Ongoing Story of the World's Deadliest Nuclear Disaster about?
The explosion that destroyed the Number Four reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on April 26, 1986, was the biggest nuclear accident in history. It rendered an area the size of New York State uninhabitable for at least the next five hundred years, killed more than 250 people, and exposed tens of thousands to extreme levels of radiation. Here is a compelling look at this tragedy, the human error and design flaws that caused it, the response of the Soviet government, and the aftereffects that are still being felt today. <p>Examines in depth the 1986 explosion, the subsequent cover-up by the Soviet government, and the continuing health problems it caused.</p>
