Chernobyl in the Ukraine was the sight of the most famous meltdown of a nuclear powerplant in history in 1986. It began during a routine safety test. The plant lost power making the reactor unstable. The supercooling water vaporized causing a steam explosion. The resulting fire burned for five days.

The disaster was solely down to the Soviet government. The machines in the plant were outdated, even in the 80s. While they evacuated the area, it wasn't nearly enough. To this day, the only acknowledge the 30 or so people who died in the initial disaster and not the countless others who suffered from radiation poisoning.

The event is not without it's conspiracies. People who saw the event and the strange lights in the sky believe aliens were involved either as the cause or to help. The strange light were due to the radiation burning. Russia, in response to the HBO series, made their own that claimed that a CIA agent sabotaged the plant. Other believe that mutants were created in the disaster.
