Definition of Chernobyl nuclear power plant

The V.I. Lenin Memorial Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station (, ) is a Nuclear power plant in the city of Pripyat, Ukraine, 18 km northwest of the city of Chernobyl, 16 km from the border of Ukraine and Belarus, and about 110 km north of Kiev. It was the site of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, but due to high power demand, continued to operate until December 2000. Workers remain at the site as the remaining three reactors at the Chernobyl plant, although no longer in operation, still contain nuclear fuel which needs to be monitored around the clock.
