World of the wild nature. Pripyat. Radioactive exclusion zone
Exactly here on April 26, 1986 there was one of the technogenic catastrophes largest in world history.
Statistically only for the first two decades after the Chernobyl tragedy about 2,5 million people suffered.
From which over 120 thousand now disabled people.
Here on these streets only in 36 hours after accident evacuation of residents Pripyat began.
In the first days the population of a 10-kilometer zone was evacuated.
Then evacuation extended on 30 kilometers.
As a result of accident out of an agricultural turn it was brought about the 5th million hectares of lands,
round the nuclear power plant the 30-kilometer exclusion zone is created, 94 settlements are destroyed and buried.
Perhaps, this only place in the world from which you shouldn't bring souvenirs.
In the cities the main part of dangerous substances collected on equal sites of a surface: on lawns, roads, roofs.
Under the influence of a wind and rains, and also as a result of activity of people,
extent of pollution strongly decreased and now radiation levels in the majority of places returned to background values.
In agricultural areas in the first months radioactive materials were besieged on leaves of plants
and on a grass therefore herbivores were exposed to infection.
Then radionuclides together with a rain or fallen leaves got to the soil,
and now they arrive in plants, generally through root system.
Pollution levels in agricultural areas considerably decreased,
however in some regions the amount of caesium can still exceed admissible values.
The woods underwent considerable pollution.
Because in a forest ecosystem caesium constantly recirculates, instead of is brought out of it, levels of pollution of forest products,
such as mushrooms, berries and a game, remain dangerous.
Level of pollution of the rivers and majority of lakes now the low.
However in some "closed" lakes from which there is no drain, concentration of caesium in water and fish within decades can constitute danger.
Surprisingly as quickly the nature returns the.
In some millennia there are one ruins, and archeologists of the future will puzzle where people left and why abandoned everything in the houses?
We need to protect itself from nuclear energy, differently our descendants should master other territories for life,
and to it already there are enough examples.
And I come back for a while in a civilization.
But we again will meet in my world soon - the world of the wild nature.
