At 1:23 am on April 26th, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant’s reactor #4 blew up after operators botched a safety test, triggering an explosion and a fire that burned for ten days. The radioactive fallout spread over tens of thousands of square kilometers, driving more than a quarter of a million people permanently from their homes. Over 100,000 people may have succumbed to Chernobyl-related illnesses. Up to this very day, the long shadow of Chernobyl continues to darken lives, socially, environmentally, and physically. As we commemorate Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day on this solemn anniversary, it's important to remember that the tragic consequences of the disaster still linger. The haunting specter of early deaths and disability still looms over Ukrainians, especially those who were still in their mothers' wombs when the catastrophe occurred. This photograph, taken In 1993, depicts youngsters in a Kyiv hospital being examined for cesium-137, a long-lived carcinogenic radioisotope contaminating the soil and food chain, a stark reminder of the ongoing impact of the nuclear explosion. The legacy of Chernobyl serves as a poignant reminder that our actions have consequences that can last for generations. #ChernobylDisasterRemembranceDay #Chernobyl #consequences」4月26日 19時00分
