Chernobyl is a city that has become an open-air museum dedicated to the largest nuclear catastrophe in the world. You will visit the "Star Wormwood" Memorial Complex, a place of sedimentation of samples of equipment used in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, and of course, the St. Elijah Church, which is enveloped by huge, incomprehensible and almost fantastic stories.
Kopachi village - after the accident at the station on April 26, 1986, the village was heavily polluted, eliminated by complete destruction and specially dusted with earth. It is located in the 10-kilometer Chernobyl exclusion zone. The village has become a favorite place for various animals.
The cooling tower is a structure for cooling a large amount of water with a direct flow of atmospheric air. The 150-meter highChornobyl cooling tower was designed to cool the 5th nuclear unit, which was 80% built at the time of the accident at the station.
A new sarcophagus built to cover the 4th reactor, the largest and heaviest arched structure in the world, designed to store and monitor the huge amount of radioactive material that formed during the explosion.
Pripyat city is spooky and abandoned. It is a city that had the 1st category of security in the Soviet Union, which brought together scientists from all over the Union, a city where the average age of its inhabitants was 30 years, a city that could have been paradise on earth and which in a moment became hell.
One of the most secret objects in the Soviet Union: an early-warning radar station for launching ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads in the enemy's territory, or as it was nicknamed "Russian Dyatel-Russian Woodpecker", today this incredible object is called "Chornobyl - 2".
