from Teach Me Something
You've almost definitely heard that there was a nuclear disaster at Chernobyl (or close to it, anyways). But how much do you really know about the nuclear disaster that shook the world in 1986? We realized we didn't have many of the details so we took a look at what happened, and most importantly, why it happened. Tune in to hear fascinating factoids like how a nuclear reactor works, how melanin protects us from radiation, and how your thyroid gland functions.
