Contamination from the Chernobyl accident was scattered irregularly depending on weather conditions, much of it deposited on mountainous regions such as the Alps, the Welsh mountains and the Scottish Highlands, where adiabatic cooling caused radioactive rainfall. The resulting patches of contamination were often highly localized, and water-flows across the ground contributed further to large variations in radioactivity over small areas. Sweden and Norway also received heavy fallout when the contaminated air collided with a cold front, bringing rain. There was also groundwater contamination.
• ... that the Chernobyl disaster occurred on Saturday 26 April 1986 when a combination of unstable conditions and reactor design flaws caused an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction, causing the sudden released of a large amount of energy, vaporizing superheated cooling water and rupturing the reactor core in a highly destructive steam explosion, followed immediately by an open-air reactor core fire that released considerable airborne radioactive contamination for about nine days that precipitated onto parts of the USSR and western Europe, before being finally contained on 4 May 1986?
