The resulting over-pressures blasted the roof off the reactor, releasing plumes of radioactive steam and burning debris.<\/p>\n<p>Several seconds later a second explosion hurled out additional burning radioactive material. A fire started at the roof of Reactor No. 3, risking a breach at that facility. Automatic safety systems had been shut down prior to the test.<\/p>\n<p>The damaged plant released an enormous quantity of radioactive substances, including iodine-131, cesium-137, plutonium and strontium-90 into the air for over a 10 day period.<\/p>\n<p>The Chernobyl accident left behind a huge area of radiation-poisoned land. A 770-mile-wide Chernobyl Exclusion Zone around the site isn\u2019t considered safe for human habitation, and won&#8217;t be for some 24,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>Russian military forces took control of the facility on the first day of the invasion.<\/p>\n<p>Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n<h3>Russian soldiers disturbed radioactive dust at Chernobyl; didn\u2019t wear protective gear, workers say: report<\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>The power plant was the site of the 1986 nuclear disaster, considered to be the worst in history, a few years before the collapse of the Soviet Union<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By Louis Casiano | Fox News<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Russian forces have kicked up radioactive dust and disturbed a highly toxic zone around the area of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site known as the &#8220;Red Forest&#8221; since capturing the defunct power plant early on in its invasion of Ukraine, workers at the site said.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters spoke with workers who said Russian soldiers in a convoy did not use anti-radiation gear and inhaled toxic dust that will most likely cause internal radiation in their bodies. In the weeks after Russia took the site on Feb. 24, soldiers were still not wearing any protective gear, they said.<\/p>\n<p>Two workers were on duty when Russian forces took control of the Chernobyl power plant, the site of the 1986 nuclear disaster that&#8217;s considered the worst in history and became an international embarrassment for the Soviet Union. The Red Forest, a small area surrounding the power plant, is still highly contaminated.<\/p>\n<p>In the days since Moscow captured the plant, the workers told the news outlet they saw Russian armored vehicles and tanks moving through the forest, which got its name from the vast amounts of radiation that turned the trees red. One Russian soldier allegedly told them that he&#8217;d never heard of the 1986 disaster.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/russian-radioactive-chernobyl-ukraine\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another stunning example of Russian military leadership.
