On Sunday, Ukraine marks the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Reactor number 4 at the plant exploded on 26 April 1986, spewing out radioactive material that would spread across swathes of Europe.

The official death toll from the incident in Chornobyl - as it is known in Ukrainian - is 31, but the wider impact of the accident remains contested and difficult to determine.

In 2005, a study by several UN agencies concluded 4,000 people could die as a result of the accident. Other estimates suggest the number could be higher.
