Eerie, Haunting, Abandon, Chernobyl Gallery
Surreal images of a place frozen in time
Chernobyl was the first nuclear power plant in the Soviet Ukraine. Recently the HBO's dramatic series "Chernobyl" has boosted interest in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant disaster, which happened more than 30 years ago, on April 26, 1986. After the Chernobyl reactor exploded radioactive particles quickly dispersed into the surrounding area. It took Soviet authorities a full day to order Pripyat citizens to evacuate and relocate between 200,000 and 400,00 people. The official short-term death toll was just 31. Estimates of those who perished afterwards vary between 4,000 and 93,000. Authorities declared a so-called exclusion zone covering 18 miles (30 kilometers) around the site of the explosion, and the abandoned towns remain uninhabited to this day. The Prime Minister at the time, Mikhail Gorbachev, said that the USSR spent $18 billion on containment and decontamination.

Pripyat Amusement Park
Pripyat is an abandoned city in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus.Named after the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49, 360 by the time it was evacuated, a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.The Pripyat amusement park was to be opened on May 1, 1986, in time for the May Day celebrations but the plans were interrupted when on April 26 the Chernobyl disaster occurred a few kilometers away. The park was opened for a couple of hours on April 27 to keep the city people entertained before the announcement to evacuate the city was made. Today, the park, and in particular the Ferris wheel, are a symbol of the Chernobyl disaster
