Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant

The construction of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant began in the 1970s. In the following years, more reactors were put into operation, including the fourth one in 1983, which later resulted in the disaster. There were supposed to be 6 reactors in total, but after the accident, further expansion of the power plant was stopped. The catastrophe took place during an experiment that was supposed to increase the safety of the power plant in an emergency. The test was to show how long, after a possible failure, the power plant would be able to produce energy for its own operation. The duration of the experiment was planned only for a minute. At around 1:24 am on April 26, 1986, the fourth block of the power plant exploded, completely destroying the reactor. Chernobyl is a trip unlike any other. It is not a beautiful, colorful or joyful place. This is not a place where you go smiling and full of excitement. A visit to Chernobyl is an experience you will never forget, but…. Go if you want to know more about this place. If you want to understand them better. If you want to pay tribute to those who died here, who lost their homes. #chernobyl #powerplant #disaster #ukraine #christmasgiveaway
