After worrying about #Chornobyl house/lab - @SGashchak has managed to get into the #CEZ. Slow journey via Vyshorod, nearly all bridges destroyed (used temporary ones) and lots of checkpoints.
But GOOD NEWS - house is undamaged and power/water working.

Huge news out of #Chernobyl today. The company *Chernobyl Tour* just had their license revoked by the government.
You may have heard of them, they're the largest company operating tours, but have been criticised in the past for their rampant touristification of the Zone...

Shortly after the Hiroshima atomic bombing, the Kodak Company observed spotting & fogging on film that they traced back to contamination of their cardboard containers. J.H. Webb, a Kodak employee, concluded it must have come from a nuclear explosion somewhere in the U.S. (1/4)

Vintage dećor bathroom located just off the 'Golden Corridor,' between Reactor Halls 2 and 3 of the #Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Many of the interior spaces have remained unaltered since the plant was first brought online in the 1970s.

For anyone who hasn’t seen the news, #Chernobyl has been on fire for the past week. Forest fires are normal & almost annual here... but this was a big one. While the rains that started today have mostly put out the active fires, already a huge amount of damage has been done.
