History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from The Chernobyl Disaster to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

Chernobyl was a nuclear disaster that occurred in Ukraine in 1986, caused by a combination of human error and a poorly designed nuclear plant. The results were catastrophic for the people involved and for the environment as far afield as Scotland. The reported loss of life was not high by any standards, but it's evident that the actual losses were much higher than those which the government disclosed.

The Chernobyl disaster brought with it dramatic changes and consequences. It meant partially dissolving the iron curtain to force safety collaboration with the West. It also added to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
