The international scale of events measures the severity of the effects that give a score, with 0 being a very irrelevant case and 7 something very serious, the Chernobyl disaster is the only accident level 7 of all history.

On the day of the accident, people who lived nearby did not even understand the danger to which they were exposed, a difference from what they could expect from a responsible government of responsible officials, did not warn people of the radioactive threat that existed at that time . It was until he saw that he could not control the accident and began to evacuate people, but all this was the next day.

### Here we will mention some disturbing data of what happened.

Most of the direct victims are buried in the Mitino cemetery, Moscow. Each body is conserved in a concrete place due to its high radiation capacity.
