Visit chernobyl

Chernobyl (Ukranian: Chornobyl) is located in Central Ukraine; the location is infamous because of the nuclear meltdown on April 26, 1986.
On April 26, 1986, the No. 4 nuclearreactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant near the city of Prypiat suffered from a catastrophic nuclear accident during a systems test. The resultant explosion and fire released large quantities ofradioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which then spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.
Pripyat is a freeze-frame of 1980sSoviet life. Propaganda slogans still hang on walls, and children's toys and other items remain as they were.
Pripyat, the town closest to the reactor is only 3 km away and was home to 49,000residents before the disaster, mostly the families of the plant workers. The city of Chernobyl is only 4 km to the south of the reactor.
