In March 1984, the world watched in horror as one of the worst nuclear disasters in history unfolded in the small town of Chernobyl, located in the Soviet Union. The dark events of this month marked a turning point in the way we view nuclear energy and its potential dangers. On the 26th of March, a safety test at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant turned into an unimaginable nightmare when a series of errors and design flaws triggered a catastrophic meltdown in Reactor 4. The consequences of this event would have far-reaching effects on both the immediate surrounding area and the world at large, forever reminding us of the devastating power of nuclear energy gone awry.
