Reactor Four (2000), by Michael Crichton, is an alternative history novel where the Three Mile Island disaster never happens and the Chernobyl disaster is much worse.
The Story takes place in 2000, 14 years after the Chernobyl disaster that contaminated much of Ukraine and Belarus. The story itself depicts a Russian family living through a second Russian civil war as NATO and China interfere in the conflict.
Fictional chronology
After the Chernobyl disaster kills or uplifts thousands from Ukraine and Belarus, the Red Army overthrows Gorbachev's government, resulting in a collapse of soviet authority and pro-western revolutions within the Warsaw pact. Germany unites under the Bonn government, Poland joins NATO, the Baltics and Ukraine declare independence, and Romania falls into civil war, as does the USSR itself. Russia splits into two groups, Hardline Communists and Reformists, with nationalist groups both siding with the reformists and fighting both factions. By 1995, China has annexed Mongolia and Tuva, eventually establishing Socialist republics in the far east.
