The Chernobyl Disaster: Cancer Following the Accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. [PDF]
Epidemiologic Reviews, 2005 The Chernobyl nuclear power plant, located in Ukraine about 130 km north of the capital of Kiev and about 10 km south of the border with Belarus, was the scene of the most severe accident that has ever occurred in the nuclear industry. On April 26, 1986, two violent explosions destroyed the core of unit 4 of the power plant and the roof of the building,

Chernobyl and Fukushima Nuclear Accidents: Similarities and Differences
HNPS Advances in Nuclear Physics, 2023 During the almost seven decades of use of nuclear fission for electric energy production two major nuclear accidents took place, i.e., the 1986 Chernobyl accident and the 2011 Fukushima one. They were caused by reactor power-surge and loss-of-coolant, respectively. Both accidents occurred during hot power reactor shutdown and had identical root causes,

Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukaemia incidence in regions of Belarus most heavily contaminated by the Chernobyl accident. [PDF]
Int J CancerWhat's new? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.
