1986: Radioactive cloud from Chernobyl disaster
A radioactive cloud drifted over Europe after an explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in April 1986.
Design flaws in the power plant led to a power surge, which caused massive explosions and blew the top of the reactor.
The contamination spread from Ukraine to neighbouring Belarus, and into Europe.
