Abstract

[The 1986 Chernobyl accident in Ukraine spread a very large quantity of radioactivity over the European continent. Reactor 4 literally exploded, and firefighters had great difficulty in stopping the fire. Many people died in the ranks of the personnel who intervened to limit the consequences of the accident. A largely unprepared test and a particularly dangerous type of reactor are the causes of this accident that has left its mark on the collective consciousness. This chapter details this terrible day with scientific elements allowing a true understanding of the accident.]
