Pripyat is situated less than 3 kilometers from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Before the Chernobyl disaster the town had around 48,000 inhabitants. After the accident people were forced to leave their home with a promise they could return in 5 days. But they never could go back. Radioactive contamination here is still very high. People need a special permit to enter this area.In original language:Herrenlose Hunde in PripyatHerrenlos umherstreunende Hunde sind die einzigen Einwohner von Pripyat, das jetzt komplett verlassen ist. Pripyat ist weniger als drei Kilometer entfernt vom Tschernobyler Atomkraftwerk. Vor der Reaktorexplosion hatte die Stadt knapp 50.000 Einwohner. Nach dem Unfall wurden sie zwangsevakuiert - mit dem Versprechen, sie koennten nach fuenf Tagen zurueckkehren. Dazu kam es nie. Die radioaktive Verseuchung ist immer noch sehr hoch. Um dieses Gebiet zu betreten, braucht man eine besondere Genehmigung.Locations:Eastern Europe-Pripyat-UkraineDate:28 Jul, 2005Credit:© Vaclav Vasku / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3661px X 2415pxKeywords:Animals-Day-KWCI (GPI)-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear accidents-Nuclear energy-Nuclear radiation-Outdoors-Radiation effects-Roads-Wide angle-Wild dogsShoot:Chernobyl 20 Years After the Nuclear DisasterDocumentation of regions and people affected by the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, photographed nearly twenty years after the event.
