This is what Chernobyl looks like nowadays, a totally abandoned place. Fun facts you probably did not know about Chernobyl.
Today completes 32 years of the most catastrophic nuclear accident in history.
The accident of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred on April 26, 1986. It was the largest nuclear catastrophe in history. The explosion took place in the fourth block of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, located just 120 kilometers from the capital of Ukraine - Kiev, near the border with Belarus.
At that time, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was one of the largest in the world. It was dedicated to a strategic military program of the Soviet army. The accident occurred due to the coincidence of several factors. In addition to the fact that the reactor did not have an updated security system, it had a low level of automation. On the fateful night of April 26, there was an ongoing experiment, which should have tested the inertial range of the turbo-generator unit. The overheating of the fuel caused the destruction of the surface of the generator.
This is what the amusement park looks like at this moment ...
The point where everything began is still radioactive: What is seen in the image is the "Elephant Leg", the point where the accident originated. The levels of radioactivity at this point are still dangerous to your health.
A man helping an abandoned baby: The story behind the photo is unknown, but it is presumed that a baby exposed to these levels of radiation could not have survived.
The vehicles contaminated by radioactivity were inactive on November 10, 2000 near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Some 1,350 Soviet military helicopters, buses, tractors, tankers, transporters, fire trucks and ambulances were used at the same time fighting the nuclear accident. All had been irradiated in the cleaning operation.
Everything that remained on the perimeter died in a horrible way: One of the worst deaths there is death by radiation. The victims start vomiting, they have difficulty breathing and you go blind.
Many surrounding animals were not evacuated and suffered the consequences of radiation. Wild animals suffer the consequences to this day: You can not control the entry of wild animals, that is why you have seen animals with deformities in recent times.
It is incredible to imagine the catastrophe of this phenomenon, 32 years later we continue to see its great consequences.
Thank you friends for your attention, I hope to have informed you very well. Thank you for your attention, I hope you support me.
