The Chernobyl disaster (Chernobyl Catastrophe; also referred as Chernobyl or the Chernobyl accident)
was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (then officially the Ukrainian SSR),
which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central authorities of the Soviet Union.
An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere,
which spread over much of the western USSR and Europe.
