The reactor began to overheat and it's water coolant began to turn to steam. The reactor exploded and the air that was sucked into the reactor ignited flammable carbon monoxide which caused the reactor fire which burned for nine days.

Protest Brief
As part of my research for this brief I have started to look at the Chernobyl disaster. This disaster was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The explosion released at least 100 times more radiation than the atom bombs that were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Much of the fallout was deposited close to Chernobyl in parts of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. More than 350,000 people resettled away from these areas, but about 5.5 million still remain.
