On April 26, 1986, Reactor #4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the town of Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded. The explosion took place at 1:23am while the neighboring town of Pripyat slept. Two workers were killed instantly. 40 hours later, the residents of Pripyat were ordered to evacuate, and most never returned; by that time, many of the residents had suffered varying degrees of radiation poisoning.

_{Very beautiful work. I will point out that the trefoil is upside down in this picture which is a common mistake, but otherwise very beautiful and captures the true emotion of that event .}

Some one should a picture like this but split between Japan and Ukraine because they've both suffered huge losses due to nuclear explosions.

this is why I hate nuclear power, if we can't control it, don't use it.
