Indeed, a very interesting story told there. It was somewhat unreal to
see the images of a ghost town of that size, that time has been
standing still since 1986!
Yes. Stuff like this makes my random bouncing around the net
worthwhile. I remember the pictures of Chernobyl. It was horrifying
then, but still somewhat of a sterile intellectual exercise. These
pictures give hints at the sheer scope of the disaster, and the human
toll.
Yes, the other pictures I've seen of that place used to be of the reactor
and nothing more. These pictures show us how human lives were affected by
the worst industrial accident in history (as far as I know anyway).
Yes. What a hefty waste. :\
I wonder though. The ceiling mounted radiation detector....when was
it mounted? (hopefully before the accident) If not, what was the rad
count when it was installed and what happened to the person who
installed it?
That's a good question. Are there possibly websites about this? I will look
into it when I have more time.
More than likely.
The article indicates town guard(s). Are these permanent guards?
What protects them from inhailing radioactive dust and do they have
dosimeters to keep them in the 'safer' areas?
I suspect that they have dosimeters like Elena had as well, and maybe they
don't live in the most radioactive parts.
Yes, but my understanding is such is cumulative. Her narrative hints on
this, too. Of the 3,000 (thereabouts) who stayed/returned only 400 are
still alive.
