* With exhibitions of pictures drawn by children of Chernobyl evacuees, in order "not to forget" the disaster.

"Fukushima" was not the only, not the first "level 7" nuclear accident. Twenty seven years ago, on 26 April 1986, Chernobyl in Ukraine (USSR at the time) also had a disastrous nuclear accident. The cities near Chernobyl nuclear station needed to be abandoned and around one hundred thousands of residents had to evacuate. Even here in the UK, 2,000km away from Chernobyl, the "hot spots" with higher radiation were found at the time and the children were told not to play outside to avoid the risk.
