tamination. The nearby Pipriat River feeds a reservoir serving Kiev, the Soviet Union's third most populous city with 2.3 million people.
A Western diplomat said that it was impossible to confirm the report of 2,000 deaths, but that the figure apologized for rumors coming from the Ukraine.
"On the one hand it is a rural area, but on the other hand about 50,000 people live in the area," the diplomat said. "It is not impossible."
Several Western embassies said Westerners phoned from Kiev saying 3,000 people had died. The United Nations and France have offered assistance.
"According to preliminary data, the accident took place in one of the areas of the fourth power generating unit and resulted in the destruction of part of the structural elements of the building housing the reactor and in a certain leak of radioactive substances." Tass said.
"The radiation situation at the electric power station and the adjacent territory has now been stabilized and the necessary medical aid is being given to those affected." Tass said.
Unusually high radiation levels were reported in Poland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and parts of Germany. Experts said
levels posed no immediate danger to citizens.
Radio Moscow said the disaster was the first a Soviet nuclear power plant in more than 30 years, apparently referring to an accident in 1957 in the Soviet Union's eastern Ural mountains.
The Chernobyl accident sent a radioactive cloud drifting north over Leningrad, the nation's second-largest city.
White House chief of staff Donald Reagan said the United States was ready, willing and able to give the Soviet Union medical and technical support. Reagan said the Soviets had not asked the United States for assistance.

The four-plex, which used to be Lawrence Bible Chapel, was renovated about two years ago, said Mr. Wade, the owner of the building.
Inside, the living room is complete with a wooden church pew, although Kurtenbach said it wasn't from that church.
Half of the apartment has a high ceiling, and one of the bedrooms is upstairs.
The church windows are frosted and decorated in one corner with a stained-glass flower.
This makes it hard to see what the weather is like each morning, the two said, especially since the windows only open about five inches.
Some people come in thinking it is still a church, Newman said.
And Kurtenbach said friends often drove right by when they were looking for their apartment.
"People can't get over it," she said. "It has a lot of character."
But the apartment doesn't restrict their behavior, the two said.
"People say, 'How can you drink in a church?' Newman said. "We don't have any problem with that."
