Summary
[edit]DescriptionRadioactive Young Pioneer camp nestled in Chernobyl's "Red Forest".webm |
English: Nestled in the beautiful pine forest south of Pripyat (and about a mile due west of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant reactor 4), this charming Young Pioneer camp offers your children the inimitable experience of lush Polesian countryside, delicious wild blueberries, Party indoctrination, art projects in the Socialist Realism style, and the warm embrace of millions of gamma rays dancing through their tender flesh and bones. (They'll think they've died and gone to heaven!)
All the above was apparently true in the spring of 1986, anyway. The camp is sited in one of the regions of the worst contamination from the Chernobyl accident, the so-called "Red Forest" (because the trees died and the foliage turned red from exposure to radiation). Nearby, bulldozers dug trenches and buried much of the radioactive foliage. The camp structures were spared. The forest has since rebounded. In the video, we see an American-made CDV-700 Geiger counter probe (with the beta shield closed) being used to measure the gamma exposure rate near the camp's main building. It is about 6 milliroentgens / hour. |
