The Effects of the Nuclear Explosion in Belarus

Although both the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and Pripyat are in Ukraine, the country wasn’t the worst-affected. As a matter of fact, it was Belarus which received the maximum amount of contamination after the explosion, and it experienced a nationwide deterioration of its people’s health conditions. Since the town of Pripyat is close to the border that Ukraine shares with Belarus, the radioactive smoke traveled all the way to the neighboring country instead of spreading across the rest of Ukraine. According to an estimation, around three-fourths of the radioactive material got deposited in Belarussian fields, and this might be the reason why Sweden was the first country to have taken account of the radioactive effects.
