Commemoration of the Chernobyl Disaster: The Human Experience Twenty Years Later
Wednesday, April 26 2006, 8:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m.
On April 26, 1986, the nuclear power plant in a small city north of Kyiv in what was then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic exploded, making the name of the city—Chernobyl—a household word around the world. In the almost twenty years since the accident, we have learned much about its causes, immediate consequences, and long-term aftermath. However, although many people know the basic story of Chernobyl, for U.S. audiences the details and the human experience of Chernobyl have faded. The Kennan Institute, in cooperation with the University of Alberta and the Harriman Institute, will commemorate the disaster on its twentieth anniversary in an attempt to help to bring the personal side of the story back into the spotlight.
