On 5 June 1990, ITN's cameras ventured inside the exclusion zone surrounding Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union – just four years after the site became the epicentre of the world's worst-ever civil nuclear incident. Following the catastrophic meltdown of reactor No. 4 on 26 April 1986, the plant as well as the nearby city of Pripyat were evacuated and an exclusion zone of 2,600 square kilometers was established around Chernobyl. But the energy generated by the plant's remaining reactors was still needed – and so, therefore, were the workers who operated the plant. As well as capturing incredible pictures of the plant, including the newly constructed concrete shell designed to contain the lethal radiation being emitted by reactor No.4, ITN's crew captured the working rhythms of those who commuted daily to and from the plant's control room. Geiger counters in hand, the crew also made their way into the ghost city of Pripyat, capturing the eery, unsettling signs of a once-bustling city abandoned in a moment of crisis. Not all fled in 1986, however, and some returned. The crew also recorded the farmers who stayed behind to till the land inside the exclusion zone.@￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶￶bhramborak1 @CH3RN0BYL #chernobyl #1986 #pripyat #černobyl #reactor #nuclearreactor #rbmk1000 #rbmk #rbmkreactor #fyp #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #skibidichallenge #1990 #Love @chernobyl1986pripyat - @vojtas_vril
