On April 25, 1986, engineers accidentally initiated

an uncontrolled chain reaction in the number 4

reactor of the Chornobyl' nuclear power plant.

The resulting explosion released 8 tons (tonnes)

of radioactive material in the world’s worst-ever

nuclear accident.

Vlad Dracula or Vlad the Impaler

was the real-life prince upon

whom Bram Stoker based his

famous Count Dracula. Dracula

was born in Transylvania in 1431

in the town of Sighisoara.
