Chernobyl's 40-year legacy
The 1986 disaster spread radiation across Europe and played a pivotal role in the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
Today, researchers continue to study how radioactive materials move through the environment to improve safety protocols for future nuclear incidents.
First responders who cleared the site describe a lifetime of deteriorating health, with few of their original teams still alive.
The anniversary serves as a somber reminder of the long-term consequences of nuclear failure and the ongoing need for global vigilance.
