Friends!

31 years ago, happened a terrible tragedy - the Chernobyl accident. It is the largest man-made disaster of modern times, the consequences of which we feel even today.

On the 26th of April, 1986 at 1:23 at the fourth unit of the Chernobyl NPP there was a massive explosion. Because of it appeared the roof of the third power was burning. Firstly, arrived firefighters to extinguish the flames. They worked until 5 am, but in the 4 block the elimination of the fire ended up only on the 10th of May.

The fact of the accident was carefully concealed. But the radioactive cloud hanged over not only Ukraine, but also over Europe. Sweden first noted the high level of radiation. Then, 2 days after the explosion, the Soviet Union made the first message.

In 1986, the destroyed reactor was covered with sarcophagus. Now new "Shelter" stands above. According to its designers, the new building will solve the problem, at least for hundred years, although there is a plan to eliminate the station in 2065.
