<P>In 1986, a test at a Soviet Union nuclear reactor plant went terribly wrong. A reactor exploded, releasing deadly radiation into the surrounding area. This book examines the scope of the disaster, its causes, and how people can keep a similar disaster from happening again. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.</P>
