IN BRIEF

摘要

Chernobyl: wildlife haven. Deer, elk and wild boar are as abundant around the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster as in the region's nature reserves - and wolves are seven times as common. Some 116,000 people fled the radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl power plant when its reactor exploded in 1986, and another 220,000 were later resettled. In total a zone covering around 4200 square kilometres split equally between Belarus and Ukraine was vacated.
