From the Creator:

In 1975 & 1982 a Soviet designed RBMK reactor would experience a fuel melting event, and would signal the dangers of a flawed design, but these signals would fall on deaf ears.

From the Creator:

The Chernobyl Disaster happened on the 26th of April 1986 in the USSR, Modern Day Ukraine.

The disaster would release radioactive waste over Eastern Europe, Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

This required a mammoth clean up effort by people known as Liquidators, todays video is about this monumental project.

The Disaster zone remains in new headlines even to today with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
