By a presidential decree, every year on April 26 Russia commemorates the liquidators and victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which happened on this very day in 1986.
More than 600,000 people took part in the liquidation of the disaster’s consequences removing debris, cleaning up radioactive fuel and building a gigantic cap above the exploded energy block. The disaster, which has been considered as the worst nuclear accident in history, raised serious concerns about the safety of the nuclear energy industry, a well-known Russian nuclear physicist Bulat Nigmatulin says.
