27 years after the horrific nuclear disaster, guards still are posted 30 kilometers outside of Chernobyl. There is a new power plant in construction right now in Chernobyl that is The New Safe Confinement (NSC). Even after all this time everything is still barren. Once a town of 50,000 the people of the city were given just a few hours to evactuate as radiation poured into the streets.
It really is a horrible thought that even after all this time it is still unsafe for people to be near Chernobyl. It is a scary thought too knowing the capabilities of nuclear war also and that this could be the fate of the world if nuclear war ever broke out.
