Cher·no·byl /tʃɜːˈnəʊbəl $ tʃərˈnoʊ-/ a town in Ukraine (formerly part of the Soviet Union) where in 1986 an explosion destroyed large parts of a nuclear power station. At least 30 people were killed at the time, but it is believed that there may have been many more deaths as a result of the radioactive dust which spread over many countries. When people are discussing the safety of nuclear power, they sometimes say that they ‘do not want another Chernobyl’. 切尔诺贝利〔乌克兰（原属苏联）一城镇，1986年曾发生重大核事故；人们在谈论核安全问题时有时会说“不希望切尔诺贝利事件重演”〕Cher·no·bylChineseSyllable |
