On the 26 of April 1986, a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded. The radiator released 126 different radioisotopes with half lives that will last for decades into the atmosphere. Compared to the radiation released in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped, Chernobyl received 100 times that amount. The radiation and all the symptoms it causes are still taking lives today and it will for generations hereafter.
In 2006, Greenpeace predicted that 270,000 cancers and 93,000 fatal cancers have been caused by the Chernobyl the accident.
