Kosmos 954 was a Soviet reconnaissance satellite launched 1977. 

A malfunction prevented safe separation of its onboard nuclear reactor; when the satellite reentered the Earth's, it scattered radioactive debris over northern Canada.

Radioactive material was spread over a vast area creating a massive risk to residents.

An extensive cleanup operation known as Operation Morning Light was put into action.

Oh and the bill was sent to the Soviet Union, but guess what.... They didn't pay.
