'On This Day 1986: The Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster'
The worst nuclear disaster in history took place during what should have been a routine safety check at Chernobyl nuclear plant.
Negligence resulted in a chain reaction of explosions that melted the fourth nuclear reactor.
The aftermath sent a devastating cloud of radioactive contaminants being sent into the atmosphere, but Moscow was not initially forthcoming about what had happened.
This was President Reagan's response to reporters' initial questions.
