An in-depth look at the period before, during and after the 1986 Chernobyl Disaster.


Reflection: Malcolm Craig

The disaster at Chernobyl is undoubtedly one of the defining events of the late 20th century. As a lad, I saw the drama on TV, not fully understanding exactly what was going on. The aftermath of the disaster created the 'Zone of Alienation' around the nuclear plant and the forlorn town of Pripyat. This desolate, strange place full of crumbling buildings and rusting machinery was reflected in the Zone of Alienation to be found in Hot War.
