Animals in the Chernobyl exclusion zone have not been wiped out by the nuclear fallout contaminating the land, but are actually thriving in the absence of humans, according to a new ecological study
A series of explosions at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1984 set off a catastrophic chain of events that are still being felt today. The power plant disaster remains one of the worst nuclear accidents on record, with the destruction of the facility's reactor 4 on April 26 exposing large parts of the Ukraine and Belarus to harmful radiation.
