The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear reactor accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. It is considered to be the worst nuclear power plant disaster in history and the only level 7 instance on the International Nuclear Event Scale. It resulted in a severe release of radioactivity into the environment following a massive power excursion which destroyed the reactor. Two people died in the initial steam explosion, but most deaths from the accident were attributed to radiation.

Lovely :D I went a couple of years ago bit didn't get to see the hospital :(

Did you have a good look around Kiev when you were there? ... Great city and the metro is really nice (awesome even)!

Thanks Lil!

Yeah we spent a week in the Ukraine itself and stayed in the same hotel as you did (Ukrainia?). Saw the Metro and your right it's awesome; the escalator taking you down is huggeee!

Gorgeous pictures! :D It's an amazing place and I'd not mind a return trip. Was the best holiday I'd ever had.

The Metro is the one bit of Kiev I missed. We would have gone on the last day but the others were too pissed and I didn't want to risk missing my flight due to being lost alone. On the final day I hung out with the stray dogs under The Friendship Arch before buying a few things and heading back to the airport. It's amazing how far food and submissive posturing will get you with ferals and I was so delighted when I won the trust of a brown bitch there. :) Had I had an extra day I'd have said sod it and went on my own on the Metro.
