[quote:Anonymous Coward 38176253:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3NTg5OTEwXzQwOTBEOUY0] [b]Chernobyl marks 27 years since nuclear accident[/b] A memorial ceremony has been held in Ukraine to mark the 27th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear plant accident at Chernobyl. On April 26th, 1986, an explosion occurred at the plant's No.4 reactor under experimental operation. Ukraine was part of the now-defunct Soviet Union at the time. The accident released a massive amount of radioactive materials. About 30 plant workers and firefighters died after suffering acute radiation exposure. The United Nations estimates that about 6,000 children near the plant have developed thyroid cancer. In the town of Slavutich, people mourned the victims by leaving candles and flowers at a monument on Friday morning. Slavutich is 50 kilometers from the Chernobyl plant and many of the maintenance workers live in the town. They prayed that the accident will never be repeated. The damaged reactor was covered with a protective structure made of concrete and metal right after the disaster. But the so-called stone coffin has deteriorated. The Ukrainian government is building a new shelter with a budget of more than one billion dollars that includes financial support from Japan, the United States and Europe. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/news/20130426_21.html .
