Abstract: The accident at the Chernobyl atomic power station on April 26, 1986, was dangerous and vast, with long-term adverse consequences. It now is viewed as one of the national disasters of the century. The most significant damage resulting from the accident was the radioactive contamination of an enormous amount of territory, where conditions became harmful to life. Equally damaging have been the losses and discomforts that residents of the contaminated areas have endured. The incident gave rise to the necessity of developing a special legal regime for the damaged territories and creating a new legal institute to defend people in the Chernobyl “ecological disaster area”. Without considering all of the circumstances and consequences of the Chernobyl accident, I would like to describe in brief the essential factual and legal features of the Chernobyl ecological disaster area.
