    anyone who thinks nuclear power is a good idea should take a long look at these images. add to that the fact that the waste produced is hazardous for LITERALLY millions of years, and I shudder to think what motivation anyone could really ever have for building a nuclear facility...

    n the zone of alienation in northern Ukraine, Kiev Oblast, near the border with Belarus. Its population had been around 50,000 prior to the accident. Today, the only residents are deer and wolves along with a solitary guard. Prypiat used to be proud for being home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. But something happened on 26 April 1986... It took three days before all permanent residents of Chernobyl and the Zone of alienation were evacuated due to unsafe levels of radioactivity. People from around the Soviet Union were forced to come and work here in order to liquidate the danger and evacuate the residents. Many of the workers died or had serious illness from radiation. My father was also recruited for this operation, but he bribed corrupt local officers with some good sausages which were rare and a valuable item at those times, so he's fine an alive today. Let the story be told by these magical pictures taken ~20 years later after the accident.
