Chicago Pile 1 was the world's first nuclear reactor built in 1942. It used uranium-235 as fuel to generate electricity through nuclear fission. On April 26, 1986, a nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, releasing radiation and contaminating the surrounding area. Over 5 million citizens of the USSR suffered effects from the Chernobyl disaster, including nearly 800,000 people in Belarus who were registered as being affected by radiation exposure.

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that
occurred on 26 April 1986 at the No. 4 reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union. The NRCRM estimate around five million citizens of the former USSR, including three million in Ukraine, have suffered as a result of Chernobyl, while in Belarus around 800,000 people were registered as being affected by radiation.
