The plant has six nuclear reactors. It is considered the largest reactor in the whole of Europe and the ninth largest in the world.

Chernobyl accident happened 36 years ago
36 years ago on 26 April 1986, there was a terrible explosion in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant of the then Soviet Union. The blast was so devastating that within a few hours 32 workers working here were killed while hundreds of workers were badly burnt by nuclear radiation. The Soviet Union tried to hide this accident from the world. But after a report by the Swedish government, the then Soviet Union accepted this accident. After the partition of the Soviet Union, Chernobyl came to Ukraine.
The accident was caused by a fault at the Chernobyl nuclear plant. In this horrific accident, the roof of the plant had blown off and the radiation was spread far and wide. Actually, on 26 April, an investigation was to be done at the nuclear power plant. During this investigation, there was a huge explosion in the plant. Scientists wanted to test an electrical system to see if the reactor’s equipment worked after the power supply was turned off.
