Լքված հիվանդանոցներ, գործարաններ և ամայի տներ. Չեռնոբիլը և Պրիպյատը՝ 29 տարի անց (ֆոտոշարք)

LIFE

Tert.am-ը գրում է.

Մոտ 30 տարի առաջ տեղի ունեցած Չեռնոբիլի աղետը հազարավոր մարդկանց ստիպել է լքել իրենց տները, որից հետո Չեռնոբիլն ու Պրիպյատն այժմ դարձել են լքված հիվանդանոցներով, գործարաններով և ամայի տներով քաղաքներ, գրում է Daily Mail-ը։

Պրիպյատ քաղաքը գտնվում է Չեռնոբիլի ատոմակայանից ընդամենը երեք կիլոմետր հեռավորության վրա։

Ավստրիացի լուսանկարիչ Ռոլանդ Վերանտը համարձակություն է ունեցել այցելելու ուրվական քաղաք և լուսանկարել քաղաքի ներկայիս վիճակը։

35-ամյա լուսանկարիչը պատմում է, որ սարսուռ է զգացել՝ տեսնելով քաղաքի բնակիչների չհավաքած անկողինները, ճաշի ափսեները և լողավազանները, որոնք բոլորը պատվել են տասնամյակների փոշով։ 

Հիշեցում. 1986թ.-ի ապրիլի 26-ին` գիշերը 1.23 րոպեին, Խորհրդային միության խոշորագույն ատոմակայանի 4-րդ էներգաբլոկում պայթյուն տեղի ունեցավ, որն ամբողջովին ոչնչացրեց ռեակտորը: Պայթյունի հետևանքով մթնոլորտ արտանետվեց 190 տոննա ռադիոակտիվ նյութ: Ռեակտորի 140 տոննա ռադիոակտիվ վառելիքից 8 տոննան հայտնվեց օդում: Փորձագետները նշում են, որ ռադիոակտիվ նյութերի ընդհանուր արտանետումները կազմել են 50 մլն կյուրի, որը հավասարազոր է 1945թ.-ին Հիրոսիմայի վրա նետված միջուկային ռումբի հետևանքների հինգհարյուրապատիկին:

Ռադիոակտիվ նուկլիդներն աղտոտեցին Ուկրաինայի, Բելառուսի ու Ռուսաստանի ավելի քան 145 հազ ք/կմ տարածք: Սակայն բնակչությանը վարակման վտանգի մասին հաղորդվեց շատ ուշ: Հեռուստատեսությամբ առաջին պաշտոնական հայտարարությունն արվեց միայն ապրիլի 28-ին: Աղետից հետո, ավելի քան 115 հազ. մարդ տարհանվեց 30 կմ-ոց գոտուց: Բացի այդ, աղետի հետևանքները վերացնելու գործում ներգրավվեց ավելի քան 600 հազ. մարդ: Վթարից զոհվեց 31 մարդ, դրան հետևող 15 տարիների ընթացքում ռադիոկատիվ ճառագայթման զոհ դարձավ 60-80 հազ. մարդ: 134 հազ. մարդ ծանր ճառագայթային հիվանդությամբ հիվանդացավ:

Չեռնոբիլի ԱԷԿ-ն ամբողջովին փակվեց 2000թ. դեկտեմբերի 15-ին։

Shell of a town: Although the external structures of buildings still stand, the insides are littered with broken glass, fragments of furniture, and the remnants of the lives of people who called Pripyat homeStrangely beautiful: The sun shines over the trees of Pripyat, which has slowly been reclaimed by nature in the 30 years since the catastropheBack to nature: The sun sets over Pripyat, in Ukraine, with the town's much-anticipated Ferris wheel in the foregroundGround to a halt: A Ferris wheel had been erected in the town, due to be opened to the public in May. But the explosion put an end to the plansDamaged decorations: The red paint on a balcony flakes off, as nature reclaims the Pripyat site, where factory workers lived with their families Overcast: An abandoned boat lies in a lake in the town. Russia, Ukraine and Belarus suffered the worst of the contamination from the blast, but increased radiation levels were detected across EuropeLookout: Shattered glass and fragments of furniture litter the floor, with a view looking out over the ghost town that Pripyat has becomeSigns of life: Footprints in the layers of dust that now cover the town's swimming pool, evidence that it was once a place that thousands of people called homeFamilies at play: An abandoned swimming pool remains, with layers of dust over the diving board and pool where workers and their families once playedDevastation: Masks litter the floor of the factory in the ghost town that Pripyat has become since the disaster, nearly 30 years agoLives left behind: Families were forced to leave nearly all of their possessions behind when the town was evacuated. Today, houses still stand with food in the cupboards and sheets on the unmade bedsIn the frame: Photographer Roland Verant (pictured), from Vienna, managed to gain access to the no-go site, accompanied by a trained guidePeeling paint: Families were forced to abandon their homes during the government evacuation, which lasted just three hours, on the day following the explosionShattered: Buildings today still stand as they were left during the emergency evacuation, with paint peelings and glass long gone from the windowsThen and now: Photographer Roland Verant, from Vienna, holds up a photograph of the power plant after the explosion on April 26 1986 against a backdrop of the plant as it stands todayRusted: The town was even home to a fairground, complete with bumper cars and a Ferris wheel to entertain the families of the workersGrowing again: Nature has reclaimed the once-thriving city, that was hailed as a vision of the future with progressive town-planning and modern architectureAbandoned: Chernobyl was Soviet Ukraine's first nuclear power plant, but on April 26 1986, a reactor deep inside the plant went into meltdownLeft behind: The series of photographs reveal what Pripyat has now become, nearly 30 years after the disaster that forced the evacuation of 50,000 residentsSchool's out: Most had no idea they would never return to the town that they had once called home, before the world's worst nuclear disaster struckGhost town: The scientists, workers and military personnel that staffed the power plant upped and left, taking their families with them, but leaving behind almost all their possessionsNo-go zone: It wasn't until the next day that the government realised the extent of the disaster, and ordered the evacuation of the town's 50,000 residents Sinister: Pripyat is still a no-go zone because of the high levels of radiation, but graffiti artists have broken the rules and used the abandoned town as a blank canvasRemains of a life: The once-bustling town of Pripyat sprang up just three kilometres from Ukraine's first nuclear power plant, which exploded on April 26 1986Desolate remains: Photographer Roland Verant, 35, from Vienna, captured a series of stunning images of the Ukrainian town of Pripyat, 30 years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that decimated the town
