Chernobyl then and now: 28 haunting images from nuclear disaster An accident happened at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station on April 26, 1986. April 26 is the day the world commemorates the worst-ever nuclear disaster. Twenty-eight years after the Chernobyl power plant blew up, RT remembers the tragedy and takes a look at the changes that time has wrought to the fallout zone. Chernobyl was the first nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine, a flagship of the peaceful atomic energy program of the USSR. The first nuclear power plant in Ukraine Just 3 kilometers from the plant, the city of Pripyat was built. Its purpose was to house nuclear experts and workers servicing the plant, as well as security troops.

In three hours some 50,000 people left the city, not knowing that they would never return.
But now Ukraine is in disarray and is consumed with contemporary conflicts rather than radioactive legacies of Chernobyl.
