What effects did chernobyl have on other countries?

The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 had widespread effects beyond Ukraine, particularly in Europe. Radioactive fallout contaminated large areas, leading to increased radiation levels in countries like Belarus, Russia, Poland, and even as far as Scandinavia, affecting agriculture and public health. The disaster prompted changes in nuclear safety regulations, heightened public concern over nuclear energy, and led to long-term health issues, including increased cancer rates among affected populations. Additionally, it catalyzed a global reevaluation of nuclear policies and emergency preparedness.
