The Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred on April 26, 1986 in reactor block 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant near the Ukrainian city of Prypiat. On the seven-point international rating scale for nuclear incidents, it was classified as the first incident in the highest catastrophic accident category.

In a simulation of a complete power failure, carried out on April 25, 1986 under the direction of Anatoly Djatlow, there was an uncontrolled increase in output due to serious violations of the safety regulations and the design-related properties of the graphite-moderated nuclear reactor of the type RBMK-1000, which occurred on April 26 at 1:23 a.m. led to the explosion of the reactor and the fire of the graphite used as a moderator. Within the first ten days after the explosion, several trillion becquerels of radioactivity were released into the earth's atmosphere. The radioactive substances that got into the atmosphere contaminated the region northeast of Chernobyl as well as many countries in Europe due to wind movement. After the disaster, so-called liquidators began decontaminating the hardest hit areas. Under the direction of the Kurchatov Institute, a provisional protective coat made of reinforced concrete (Russian объект "Укрытие", object "Ukrytije"), which is usually referred to as a "sarcophagus", was erected by November 1986.

There has been controversy for years about the global long-term health effects, especially those that can be traced back to an effective dose that is higher than that of natural radiation exposure. In a report drawn up jointly with the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the WHO considers a total of around 4,000 deaths worldwide, mainly from cancer, to be possible. The actual death toll, on the other hand, is estimated to be much higher. In a 2016 report, the IPPNW put hundreds of thousands of deaths statistically in connection with the nuclear disaster. Millions of people suffer from long-term health effects. The UNSCEAR report published in 2008 concluded that at that time a total of 43 deaths were attributable to the reactor accident.

The most significant effect observed in the heavily contaminated areas around Chernobyl was the increased incidence of thyroid cancer. This increased occurrence could have been prevented by the government of the time with simple medical means, by means of a so-called iodine blockade.

The then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Mikhail Gorbachev, described in a public statement in 1986 the Western reporting on the accident with allegedly thousands of deaths as "rampant anti-Soviet agitation" and called for international cooperation in the area of ​​the peaceful use of nuclear energy .

In 2006 Gorbachev wrote in a book that Chernobyl was perhaps more than its perestroika the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
