On Homeline, the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster is remembered as the greatest nuclear accident ever, but it could have been much, much worse. On Chernobyl-1, that fate came to pass. A thermal explosion sent deadly radiation across Eastern Europe, killing Belarus and Ukraine, and irradiating from Berlin to Moscow, Baltics to Black Sea.
