Why Did Chernobyl Cost BILLIONS To Fix & Who Paid The Price?

Why did Chernobyl cost BILLIONS to fix? What Is China Syndrome? Who Were the Liquidators? And What is The Elephants Foot?

In April 1986, the world changed when the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened.

When two explosions ruptured reactor 4, spewing out deadly radiation, the clean up had to happen FAST. But who went to save the day, how did they work under such harsh conditions and did they have a say in the matter?

Find out the answers to all those questions and more as Nikki and Cheryl delve into the heart of reactor four to learn about the literal fallout of the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster.
