On April 26, 1986 a nuclear accident occurred at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the northern part of Ukraine, a little over 100km away from the capital of Kyiv. Considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, it was the first time an accident was classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale, and remains one of only two events with such a rank.
The accident released large quantities of radioactive material into the atmosphere that settled over Western Russia and Europe. Half a million people were involved in the work to contain the accident and prevent an even worse one. Not far from downtown Kyiv, you can find a monument representing one of the "liquidators" (workers) involved in fighting the fire.
The cache is a magnetic nano located on a metal window grill by a planter across the street. It does not appear to be a high muggle area, but as always in Kyiv, please be discrete. The cache is reached from the sidewalk. Use the helper pics to find the area to look so you can make the find more quickly.
