The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic accident in 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the Ukraine S.S.R. in the former Soviet Union, the worst disaster in the history of nuclear power generation.

One effect was to decrease support for and use of nuclear power, despite so-called global warming fears, and renewable energy sources in practice having many problems, in particular in northern regions.
