the chernobyl steam explosion was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 april 1986 at the chernobyl nuclear power plant in ukraine. a steam explosion and graphite fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of western ussr and europe. it is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the international nuclear event scale (the other being the fukushima daiichi nuclear disaster). the battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the soviet economy. the accident raised concerns about the safety of the nuclear power industry, slowing its expansion for a number of years.
