The long-term damage from an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in in the Ukraine more than 30 years ago is still unknown.When the explosions ripped through the reactor in rural Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, they spewed huge amounts of radioactive material in the atmosphere and caused the worst nuclear disaster in history.
