Opening of the new school year and welcoming of the new highschool students at Muslyumovo (-station). The village has been contaminated with radio-active material from 1947 until the early fifties when the Mayak Chemical Nuclear Complex dumped their radio-active waste in the Techa River which flows through Muslyumovo. Techa river is still highly radio-active, it is forbidden to swim, or drink from the river or grow vegetables at the banks. The village was never evacuated, most of its inhabitants are sick because of the radiation. (Half life book page 30)
