Description for Chernobyl
Paperback. .
Chernobyl – The Hidden Legacy shows the region over a period of four years twenty years later and the contaminated landscape the people still inhabit. It shows that the horrors of Chernobyl, and its legacy, are still anything but forgotten.
On April 26, 1986, at 1:24 a.m, the world’s worst ever man-made disaster took place. Reactor 4 at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station, was beset by a series of explosions that rose deep from its radioactive depths and blasted itself high into the atmosphere, eventually seeping its way into the far corners of the globe. Chernobyl in 2008, 22 years later, has become a half-global legend and half-forgotten horror story. Many people have returned to the contaminated areas they still call home. Since then birth defects and various other pathologies, especially thyroid cancer, have afflicted the population. Chernobyl is not the past, Cherobyl is not history, Chernobyl is the beginning.
