<br/><br/> 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.  About 10,000 people have died or will die because of their exposure to radiation.  With international help, Ukriane has enclosed the damaged reactor, giving scientists time to figure out what the future holds.
