The Damned of Chernobyl
August 10, 2010, Naroditchy, Ukraine: The Chernobyl disaster is considered as the worst nuclear accident in the history. The disaster occurred on 26 April 1986, 01:23, at reactor number four at the Chernobyl power plant, near the town of Prypiat, during an unauthorized systems test. the resulting fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive area, including Pripyat. The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union, and also much of Europe. 25 years after the disaster, people are still living and dying into the contaminated areas. /// Naroditchy village into the contaminated area.

Chernobyl 25 years later
March 15, 2011, Pripyat, Ukraine: The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Ukraine. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and it is the only one classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus have been burdened with the continuing and substantial decontamination and health care costs of the Chernobyl accident. More than fifty deaths are directly attributed to the accident, all among the reactor staff and emergency workers. Estimates of the total number of deaths attributable to the accident vary enormously, from possibly 4,000 to close to a million. Despite the accident, Ukraine continued to operate the remaining reactors at Chernobyl until 2000, when the last reactor at the site was closed down///Ghost town of Chernobyl. Credit: A.

Fukushima: indoor play for children
March 9, 2013, Koriyama city, Fukushima, Japan: Pep Kids Koriyama. Close to the crippled nuclear power plant a large indoor playground opened late last year to let children play without the fear of radioactive contamination. PEP Kids Koriyama features an athletic field with 30-meter-long tracks, a 70-square-meter sand pit and other playground equipment. The facility is operated by the Koriyama city government. More than 30,000 people used the free playground during the first three weeks of its operation. Since the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in March 2011, many parents have refused to let their children play outside, fearing radiation contamination.

Fukushina: Decontamination
March 8, 2013 - Fukushima, Japan: Cleaning staff decontaminate house roofs using high pressure water. When clean up is done, they gather the used polluted water and store it in a tank. Two years after a powerful earthquake and tsunami wrecked Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant, many towns nearby remain abandoned, too affected by radiation for residents to return for more than short visits. About 160,000 people were displaced by the nuclear disaster, and even some areas outside the 20-kilometer (12-mile) zone that initially was completely off-limits are too contaminated to be cleaned up in the foreseeable future. In others, work is proceeding on cleaning soil, leaves, grass and buildings to help reduce radiation to safer levels. (Hitoshi Katanoda/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
