LEGACY OF THE CHERNOBYL DISASTER

The UN marks the 37th anniversary of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (26 April 1986) – one of the most serious nuclear accidents in history.
Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by radiation. Some 350,000 people were forced to leave their homes in severely contaminated areas, with a deeply traumatic and lasting impact on their lives.
The International Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day aims to continue raising awareness for the need of environmental and health monitoring of the Chernobyl-affected regions and communities – towards the common good.
