Prypiat, Ukraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from Pripyat, Ukraine) Jump to: navigation, search Coordinates: 51°24′20″N, 30°03′25″EPrypiat c. 2001Prypiat c. 2001For other uses see PripyatPrypiat (Ukrainian: При́п'ять, Pryp”jat’; Russian: При́пять, Pripjat’; or Pripyat) is an abandoned city in the Zone of alienation in northern Ukraine, Kiev Oblast, near the border with Belarus. It was home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. The city was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. Its population had been around 50,000 prior to the accident.

[edit] Background

View of the Chernobyl power plant from PrypiatView of the Chernobyl power plant from PrypiatUnlike cities of military importance, access to Prypiat was not restricted prior to the disaster. Before the Chernobyl accident, nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviets as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: мирный атом, mirny atom) was popular during those times. Initially the plant was intended to be built only 25 km from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about the station being too close to the city, and so the station, together with Prypiat[1] , were built in their current location — about 100 km from Kiev.

(June 2008)Until recently, the site was practically a museum, documenting the late Soviet era. Apartment buildings (four of which were recent constructions not yet occupied), swimming pools, hospitals and other buildings were all abandoned, and everything inside the buildings was left behind, including records, papers, TVs, children's toys, furniture, valuables, and clothing, etc. that any normal family would have with them. Residents were only allowed to take away a suitcase full of documents, books and clothes that were not contaminated.The Prypiat Ferris Wheel, as seen from the City Center Gymnasium.The Prypiat Ferris Wheel, as seen from the City Center Gymnasium.However, many of the apartment buildings were almost completely looted some time around the beginning of the 21st century.[citation needed] Nothing of value was left behind; even toilet seats were taken away. Some buildings have remained untouched. Many of the building interiors have been vandalized and ransacked over the years. Because the buildings are not maintained, the roofs leak, and in the spring the rooms are flooded with water. It is not unusual to find trees growing on roofs and even inside buildings. This hastens deterioration, and due to this, a 4-story school partially collapsed in July of 2005.[2]

[edit] Safety

Note that this image was drawn using data from the OECD report, [1] and the second edition of 'The radiochemical manual'.A natural concern is whether it is safe to visit Prypiat and the surrounding area. The Exclusion Zone is considered relatively safe to visit, and several Ukrainian companies offer guided tours of the area. The radiation levels have decreased from the high levels of April 1986 due to the decay of the shortlived isotopes released in the accident.The city and the Exclusion Zone are now bordered with guards and police, but obtaining the necessary documents to enter the zone is not considered particularly difficult. A guide will accompany visitors to ensure nothing is vandalized or taken from the zone. The doors of most of the buildings are open to reduce the risk to visitors, and almost all of them can be visited when accompanied by a guide. The city of Chernobyl, located a few miles from Prypiat, has some accommodations including a hotel, many apartment buildings, and a local lodge, which are maintained as a permanent residence for watch-standing crew, and visitors.In 1986, shortly after the disaster, the city of Slavutych was constructed to replace Prypiat. After the city of Chernobyl, this is the second largest city for accommodating plant workers and scientists.Public swimming pool "Azure" in the center of Prypiat.Public swimming pool "Azure" in the center of Prypiat.

The video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl takes place in the Zone of Alienation, and includes a detailed rendition of Prypiat.There are two single player missions in the video game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set in and on the outskirts of Prypiat, following the Chernobyl disaster and primarily within the Zone of alienation. The game recreates the "Energetik" Community Centre, the "Azure", a public swimming pool, and The Prypiat Ferris Wheel. It also features the "Polissya" hotel. Also the multiplayer level "Bloc" includes parts of Prypiat, including the swimming pool and the Ferris Wheel.The hospital section of the video game Half Life 2: Episode 1 was based on photos of a hospital in Prypiat.[3]In The History Channel's "Life After People", Prypiat was used as an example of the effects of time and nature on cities after the extinction of humans.[4]The city plays a major role in the music video "Everything is Everything" by the band Beats and Styles.The town is also featured in the rapper Example's music video "What We Made" along with a documentary of the making of this videoIn 1989, the Irish singer, Christy Moore included a song about Prypiat called "Farewell To Pripchat (Near Chernobyl)" in his album entitled "Voyage". The song was written by Irish songwriter, John McDermott. The song begins, "It was a Friday in April 1986, The day that nightmare began..." and finishes with "...The streets speak a deafening silence, Nothing stirs but the sand."
