Radioactive contamination by Cesium 137 is about 70 Curie per square kilometer here, therefore the village had to be evacuated and most of houses buried underground. Nevertheless some people went back with the wish to spend the rest of their life in their home.In original language:nahe GomelEine Hand voll aelterer Leute ueberlebt im Ort Bartolomeyka (nahe Vetka, Gomel region, Weissrussland), der stark verseucht ist durch den Tschernobyler Fallout. Die Strahlendosis vom Caesium 137 liegt hier bei 70 Curie den Quadratkilometer, deshalb wurde der Ort evakuiert und die meisten Haeuser dem Erdboden gleichgemacht. Nichtsdestotrotz kommen Leute zurueck, die nur eins wollen - den Rest ihres Lebens in ihrem vertrauten Heim verbringen.Locations:Bartolomeyka-Belarus-Eastern Europe-Gomel OblastDate:25 Mar, 2005Credit:© Vaclav Vasku / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3661px X 2462pxKeywords:Cold-Day-Elderly-Hats-KWCI (GPI)-Local population-Men-Nuclear (campaign title)-Nuclear accidents-Nuclear energy-Nuclear radiation-One person-Outdoors-Portraits-Radiation effects-Radiation victims-Snow-VillagesShoot:Chernobyl 20 Years After the Nuclear DisasterDocumentation of regions and people affected by the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, photographed nearly twenty years after the event.
