就在 20 年前的这个月，即 1986 年 4 月 21 日，前苏联切尔诺贝利核电站的工人们用该设施的两个“RBMK”反应堆之一以非常低的功率进行了实验。然而，他们没有意识到他们的行为会使反应堆变得危险地不稳定。它的威力迅速增强，导致核心遭到破坏并引发大规模化学爆炸。世界卫生组织估计，有 40 至 50 名工作人员和急救人员因事故期间释放的辐射而死亡。它还导致了广泛的污染和辐射暴露。
Exactly 20 years ago this month, on 21 April 1986, workers at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in the former Soviet Union carried out an experiment at very low power with one of the facility's two "RBMK" reactors. They were, however, unaware that their actions would make the reactor dangerously unstable. Its power rapidly increased, leading to the destruction of the core and a massive chemical explosion. The World Health Organisation estimates that between 40 and 50 staff and emergency workers died as a result of radiation released during the accident. It also resulted in widespread contamination and radiation exposure.
