By the end of April it will have been 38 years since the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant occurred.
A night power-failure stress test, at the no. 4 reactor, resulted in uncontrolled reaction conditions and subsequent steam explosion followed by an open-air fire.
This fire caused updrafts for 9 days.
Large quantities of radioactive isotopes were dispersed into the atmosphere.
Despite the 30 kilometres long radioactive exclusion zone there are some people, called Samosely, who decided to remain there.
