… What’s the Exclusion Zone?
The Exclusion Zone is an area of approximately 1,000 square miles, officially called the ‘zone of alienation’ which was cleared of inhabitants after the accident due to the amount of harmful radiation present.
It’s thought that it will be a mimimum of several hundreds of years before the area is habitable again.
Is the plant still in use?
The three other reactors remained in use after the accident but were eventually shut down in 2000 andare currently still in the process of being fully decommissioned.
Reactor Number 4 was destroyed entirely, with the wreckage enclosed in a concrete and lead sarcophagus to prevent more radioactive material escaping.
The plant is administered by the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management, who recently constructed a large steel confinement shelter to make Reactor Number 4 more secure.
