00:00Chernobyl nuclear power station was once a symbol of great Russian pride.

00:09But others disagreed.

00:16On the 26th of April 1986, the unthinkable happened.

00:22The Act of 4 exploded with a force 20 times higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki put together.

00:32People died horrifically. The Russians denied everything.

00:43People who spoke out became enemies of the state.

00:52And the disaster triggered the collapse of the USSR.

00:56Just a few weeks after, a young scientist was sent to investigate.

01:02Three decades later, he's back and determined to get some answers.

01:08He discovers radioactive contamination in the water source of 35 million people,

02:01exposing themselves to unprecedented amounts of radiation.

02:06President Putin eyed up the plant as a potential weapon,

02:10whilst openly threatening nuclear war on the West.

02:13Just six weeks later, the Russians withdrew from Chernobyl,

02:17sending their irradiated troops home to die.

02:21And the same fate may await the 35 million people who live downstream.
