Abstract
In 2006 he left us, among other things, the twentieth anniversary of the Chernobyl accident. Chernobyl is now a ghost town located in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus, after being abandoned by the accident at the nuclear plant bearing the same name on April 26, 1986, while experimenting with the fourth reactor to check if the power of the turbines could generate enough electricity for cooling pumps in case of failure. A series of errors led to a huge increase in power and a large explosion that exposed the reactor core. This gave a huge radioactive cloud into Europe. How the reactors, their behavior, a detailed description of the accident and its consequences can be found in this text.
