In the Shadow of Chernobyl (S13E06)
S13E06
Thirty-three years after the catastrophic explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine, which marked the most significant accidental release of radiation into the environment, the debate over its causes and accountability continues. Meanwhile, what has happened to those who chose to remain in the exclusion zone, as well as the wildlife that endured? How contaminated is the region today? Victoria Gill, the BBC's Science correspondent, has received exclusive access to explore both the exclusion zone and the plant itself.
