Chernobyl Disaster Anniversary Prompts Nuclear Safety Debate

Original: The Chernobyl nuclear disaster (26 April 1986, # Ukraine , # USSR ) # radioactive cloud from Unit 4 of the nuclear power

Social media users are revisiting the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 26 April 1986, when an explosion at Unit 4 of the power station in then-Soviet Ukraine released a radioactive cloud across Europe. Posts describe the accident as poisoning the environment for generations and argue against nuclear power.
