Chernobyl

Chernobyl
Theme – Going Green
When built, Chernobyl nuclear power station was seen as a ‘green’ solution to traditional polluting power generators.  However, the catastrophic explosion in 1986 changed all this. Many died and many more developed cancers.  The burnt out facility is now encased in a huge shiny sarcophagus and surrounded by an uninhabited 4,000 km2 exclusion zone which is ‘going green’.   The area is reverting to forest and the company town of Pripyat, with its amusement park, has become a decaying, overgrown ghost town.  Green energy is but a distant memory.
