The explosion three decades ago at the Chernobyl nuclear power station - in what is now Ukraine - was the world’s worst civilian nuclear accident. Radioactive particles were blown as far as Scotland and tonnes of uranium and plutonium remain in the damaged reactor core.

The international community tasked the EBRD with managing the funds to help Ukraine overcome the crisis and secure the site.
