On 26th april 1986, the number 4 reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat in Ukraine exploded creating one of the worlds worst nuclear plant disasters in history. The Chernobyl Forum published a report in 2005, led by the International Atomic Energy Agency and World Health Organization , attributed as few as 56 deaths, 47 of them being accident workers, directly to the incident. Although many more deaths have been linked to exposure to radiation from the reactor and fall out.
