The explosion of the reactor at Chernobyl's nuclear power plant on April 26, 1986 was so all-encompassing and unprecedented in scope, that the devastation and ramifications--the human and environmental toll--continue unabated today. The explosion released into the atmosphere 126 different radioisotopes with half-lives that will last for decades. Radiation intensity at Chernobyl was 100 times the radiation generated by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The explosion left devastation in its wake, instantly taking lives and sealing the fate of generations to come.
