ChNPP is pleased to announce the search for photographs, which were taken within the ChNPP territory, in the town of Prypiat or somewhere within the area of Exclusion Zone in 1986.
This year we honour the 35th anniversary since one of the greatest disaster in the history of humankind – Chornobyl catastrophe. The ChNPP top management and personnel strive to prevent this important date and its lessons from being forgotten.
We announce a large-scale event, namely searching for the pictures, which show the places that were inhabited a while ago, but now they are within the Exclusion Zone area. It can be a common photo from the streets of Prypiat town, some occasional pictures of Chornobyl NPP, the evacuation captured in the pictures or any other photo, which can tell us a part of the history of such close, but distant 1986.
