Ending the second World War, two atomic bombs were dropped onto the cities of Hirshomia and Nagasaiki, Japan. While this ended the War, this also brought the United States into the nuclear age of time. Nuclear Plants were built as a raw way of producing energy (coal, natural gases, and oil), and to help many people power their homes and cities. However, there is a consequence to this source of energy, as the gasses and coal and oil melt into something known of radioactivity. Many people have died of radiation burns, and the smoke and waste that comes from the meltdowns and explosions of the NUclear Plans as they soon.

begin to turn into something out of control, hard and harder to maintain. When someone has low knowledge of how to work nuclear elements, the outcome of this can be fatal to many people who surround the Plant. An example of this dangerous outcome is the nuclear meltdown of Chernobyl, Ukraine.

{THE NUCLEAR DISASTER OF CHERNOBYL...}

It was on the evening of April 26, 1986, that c nuclear power-plant of Chernobyl, Ukraine, exploded. This explosion - or, actually, a meltdown - caused a total of 55 deaths of both workers and civilians of, reaching from the eastern border of Ukraine, and pouring into the western coasts of Russia. The cause of this meltdown was both from a severely flawed Soviet-era reactor design, and human error. It was that a group of engineers from the then Soviet Union ( all having poor knowledge of nuclear elements ) began to build up the harder and harder to control now radioactive power of the nuclear plant.

Lying less than a few feet ahead of the nuclear power plant was the city of Chernobyl. As one of the reactors slowly began to melt, radioactive waste began to spread for over more than 1,000 miles of where the plant had originally lied. Half of the deaths were caused from radioactive burns and sicknesses spread through the air from the smoke.

The gas killed more than 36 people, later on, 12 more from the many sicknesses and smoke that drifted throughout the air. Thousands of the people forced to relocate were now having to do so twice, due tot he smoke and radioactive waste that was floating through the air. Hundreds of children, even today, have

died from the many cancers caused by the toxic waste (including thyroid, liver, skin, and breast cancer). Even areas of western Russia were affected by the cancers, and even if it has been three whole decades since the meltdown of the nuclear plant in Chernobyl, there are still major affects that have been happening today.
