She became friendly with physicists working in Chernobyl and they subsequently allowed her to photograph the destroyed nuclear reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Ivleva never felt her photographs of Chernobyl were her best work and described their attraction as the juxtaposition of "a little person and that vast, terrible space". [1]
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located next to the Pripyat River, which feeds into the Dnieper reservoir system, one of the largest surface water systems in Europe, which at the time supplied water to Kiev's 2.4 million residents, and was still in spring flood when the accident occurred.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is located inside the zone but is administered separately. Plant personnel, 3,800 workers as of 2009 [update] , reside primarily in Slavutych, a specially-built remote city in Kyiv Oblast outside of the Exclusion Zone, 45 kilometres (28 mi) east of the accident site.
Although dangerous amounts of radiation are still being emitted to this day, curious explorers and photographers flock to the site to see the ghost town. Town still healing 30 years after the ...
Studying the populations that were exposed to radiation after the Chernobyl accident has provided data linking exposure to radiation and the future development of cancer. Cases of pediatric thyroid cancer, likely caused by absorption of Iodine-131 into the thyroid gland, increased in Ukraine and Belarus 3 to 4 years after the accident.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant [a] (ChNPP) is a nuclear power plant undergoing decommissioning.

A new study analyzed the DNA of feral dogs living near Chernobyl, compared the animals to others living 10 miles away, and found remarkable differences.
The Chernobyl reactor didn't just expel aerosol particles, fuel particles, and radioactive gases, but there was an additional expulsion of Uranium fuel fused together with radionuclides. [10] These hot particles could spread for thousands of Kilometers and could produce concentrated substances in the form of raindrops known as Liquid hot ...
