Chernobyl at 40: Wildlife and science in the exclusion zone
Forty years after the Chernobyl accident, the largely uninhabited exclusion zone around the nuclear power plant has become a haven for wildlife, as well as providing the world with a unique living laboratory for scientific study of the impact of radioactive elements. The zone also plays a large part in popular culture's enduring interest and fascination with the events of 1986.
