Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant

CHERNOBYL.. a disaster that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the No. 4 nuclear reactor, near the city of Pripyat. It is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history. Reactor No. 4 subsequently was enclosed in a concrete and lead sarcophagus, then more recently by a large steel confinement shelter (behind me in pic #1). Pripyat was once home to 15000 people, now remains deserted. It is estimated that the area won't be safe for humans to live for at least 20,000 years.
