Question

Chernobyl disaster occurred in Ukraine during

• A. $1978$
• B. $1982$
• C. $1985$
• D. $1986$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $1986$

The April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine was the product of a flawed Soviet reactor design coupled with serious mistakes made by the plant operators. It was a direct consequence of Cold War isolation and the resulting lack of any safety culture. Two Chernobyl plant workers died on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks as a result of acute radiation poisoning.

So the correct answer is '1986'.
