The accident at the Chernobyl power plant in 1986 was the worst nuclear disaster in history.

One of the nuclear reactors exploded and released radiation that was at least 100 times more than the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War Two.

Over the last few weeks a dramatisation of the accident has been broadcast on television by HBO.

So what was it like to live through the story the show tells?

Ludmila Pekarska was under 100km away in Kiev at the time of the accident with her two young children.
