On Saturday, April 26, 1986, a disaster occurred at Chernobyl reactor No. 4, which has been widely regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. As a result, reactor No. 4 was completely destroyed and has since been enclosed in a concrete and lead sarcophagus to prevent further escape of radiation. Many of the people living near the nuclear plant have either died, (from radiation caused sicknesses) or their children have serious medical issues, such as weak bones. Large areas of Europe were affected by the accident. The radiation cloud spread as far away as Norway, in Scandinavia.
