Chernobyl, site of world's worst nuclear disaster, remains haunting place

CHERNOBYL, UKRAINE - MARCH 17: A medical examination chair is seen in front of the damaged building as Ukrainian soldiers visit the 30-kilometer exclusion zone surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and the town of Pripyat where thousands of people who once worked at the nuclear power plant live, in Chernobyl, Ukraine on March 17, 2024. The traces of the explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the scene of the world's biggest nuclear disaster, still bear the traces of the explosion 38 years later. Pripyat, which was established in 1970 for Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers and abandoned after the disaster, resembles a ghost town. While the accident that took place on April 26, 1986 at the plant 110 kilometers away from Kyiv, remains in the memories, the consequences of the accident are still being discussed on the international agenda.
