Cultural impact of the Chernobyl disaster
The
Chernobyl disaster, when Reactor No. 4 of the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded on 26 April 1986, is the
worst nuclear disaster and the
costliest disaster to have occurred in human history. The
effects of the Chernobyl disaster, brought about by the
radioactive contamination that chiefly spread throughout the
Soviet Union and virtually all of
Europe, have had a significant impact on millions of people (in addition to
direct and indirect deaths) and the environment, consequently serving as one of the greatest motivators for the
anti-nuclear movement. Accordingly, both the incident itself and
the aftermath have since been a prominent focus in the study and implementation of
nuclear power around the world, and have also featured in numerous works of popular culture; film, literature, music, television, and video games, among other forms of arts and media, have either analyzed it in a non-fictional context or used it as a backdrop for fictional dystopian settings.
