as War Comes to Nuclear Wasteland

 

Not everyone evacuated

when the Chernobyl nuclear plant melted down in 1986.

 

The few who stayed

lived through another calamity when Russian troops marched in.

The mini-series Chernobyl made by HBO

depicts the explosion’s aftermath,

the vast clean-up operation

and the subsequent inquiry.

 

The success of the series has driven up

the number of tourists wanting to see the plant

and the ghostly abandoned town of Prypyat.
