History for the day


On 26 April 1986, the world's then-worst* nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl plant in the then-Soviet Union. An explosion and fire in the Number Four reactor (photo) sent radioactivity into the atmosphere; at least thirty people died immediately.

*Rico says the accident at Fukushima, Japan following the tsunami was worse.
