Chernobyl Nuclear
Power Plant
This
week marks the 20th anniversary of the April 26,

The explosion released 400 times more

At least 31 people died as result of trying to
contain the fire and thousands have been diagnosed
with cancer. This type of nuclear power
plant does not exist in the U.S. For more
information about Chernobyl see the
