- The 1986 Chernobyl accident was caused by a faulty reactor design that was operated by unqualified personnel.
- The steam explosion and fires that followed released at least 5% of the nuclear reactor core into the environment, causing radioactive materials to be deposited in several locations around Europe.
- Two Chernobyl plant workers died in the explosion on the night of the disaster, and another 28 died soon after from severe radiation illness.
- "With the exception of 5000 thyroid tumours, there is no indication of a substantial public health impact ascribed to radiation exposure 20 years after the incident," according to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (leading in 15 deaths).
- 350,000 people were forced to flee their homes as a result of the disaster, but the process of resettling those who were relocated is still ongoing.
