    The document summarizes the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the Soviet Union. It describes how the core of the nuclear reactor exploded during a late-night safety test, releasing a large amount of radioactive material into the environment. The Soviet authorities failed to immediately evacuate nearby people after the accident. The disaster had severe environmental and health effects, contaminating over 2,600 square kilometers and requiring the relocation of thousands of people. It exposed cleanup workers and emergency responders to high radiation and contributed to both immediate and long-term illnesses and deaths.
