My research topic is the Chernobyl explosion. I found this by looking at a long list of topics, and when I saw the word "Chernobyl," I new it sounded familiar to me. I think I saw a TV show about the Chernobyl explosion one time, so that is probably why it sounded so familiar to me. All I remember from the show was that it was a nuclear explosion that released a great amount of radiation. Then I started reading one of the articles in the database and it seemed more interesting to me than I thought.
The Chernobyl explosion happened on April 26, 1986. The explosion released tons of radiation that mostly spread to parts of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia. Lighter levels of radiation also spread throughout Europe. There were was a large amount of short-term deaths from the explosion. There were also long-term affects from the radiation, such as thyroid, and other types of cancer. My research question is "What are the significant impacts that the Chernobyl explosion had on the citizens of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine?"
