On April 26, 1986, at 1:23 am, a sudden surge of power during a reactor systems test destroyed Unit #4 of the nuclear power station at Chornobyl, Ukraine, in the former Soviet Union. The accident and the fire that followed released massive amounts of radioactive material into the environment that spread throughout Europe and across the northern hemisphere, including Canada, United States, and the entire world.

• Health effects and impact after 30 years.
• What to do with Chornobyl in the future: Does it have universal value as a dark tourism heritage site?
