The explosion has happened on the 26 of April 1986, at reactor number four of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. It became the largest technogenic accident the world has ever seen. 50 million curies of radioactive isotopes were released. That was from 30 to 40 times larger than the fallout from the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

The first alarm was raised in Sweden. In one day the Soviet Union admitted that there'd been an accident at Chornobyl. 31 person died during the accident itself and during the about 10 days lasting fire suppression, more than 200 - were hospitalzed.

According to unofficial researches, more than 15 thousand people have died, as affected by radiation in the result of  Chornobyl nuclear disaster.

Students and teachers of the KNUTD College remembered victims and injured persons, conducted educational classes and visited The Ukrainian National Chornobyl Museum.
