A dog in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, 2017. The exact origin of the populations of dogs living in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) and the surrounding areas of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is unknown. [1] However, it is hypothesized that these animals are the descendants of pets left behind during the original evacuation of Pripyat.
When we think of the Chernobyl disaster, which occurred when a reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded in 1986, we tend to consider the impact it had on humans.
The study uncovered that the feral dogs living near the Chernobyl Power Plant showed distinct genetic differences from dogs living only some 10 miles away in nearby Chernobyl City.
By analysing the dogs’ DNA, the team identified 391 outlier regions in their genomes that differed between the two groups with some pointing to genetic repair after exposures similar to Chernobyl.
According to Chernobyl disaster liquidators, the radiation levels there are "well below the level across the zone", a fact that president of the Ukrainian Chernobyl Union Yury Andreyev considers miraculous. [35] The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has been accessible to interested parties such as scientists and journalists since the zone was created.

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.
At 4 a.m., Moscow ordered feeding of water to the reactor. As Director of the Chernobyl site, Bryukhanov was sentenced to ten years imprisonment but only served five years of the sentence. The first director of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Viktor Petrovich Bryukhanov, died on October 13, 2021, at the age of 84.
