Not everyone evacuated
when the Chernobyl
nuclear plant melted down in 1986.

lived through another

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.
