Pripyat, Ukraine (CNN) --dort is an eerie silence on the desolate buildings and empty streets of Pripyat.
From the main square, overgrown with Brambles and wild grass, the city looks like lost an ancient castle in a jungle.
Building, Windows smashed, are as monolithic giant peering down. Clings a dark neon sign saying "Restaurant" on a on a roof. From another threatens the scene of a hammer and sickle below.
I can't that I attended the feels so completely abandoned and lost think in a single place.
Pripyat evacuate came too late. It had been that 36 hours since an explosion in the reactor 4 at Chernobyl, 26 April 1986 had his radioactive debris spewed about the city.
Fearing panic, and ordered the then Soviet authorities under Mikhail Gorbachev, to live as usual Pripyat of the citizens continue.
As the world's worst nuclear accident caused, searing with radiation everything in its path, children in this city went to the school and SA through lessons. Couples married.
If the evacuation under way, get, as soon as the extent of no longer could be denied the disaster, told residents she would be back in a few days. She took with nothing ihnen-- only documents, to eat some money and something for the bus ride.
Even within the Soviet Union the shameful manner was treated the situation by the authorities was heavily criticized.
Several times since said Gorbatschow--known for his reforms of perestroika and glasnost, he believed that Chernobyl was equally responsible for bringing about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Even 25 years on the problem of Chernobyl is far from gone. There is considerable debate about how many people died, and how many still, due to one die the misfortune.
Tell the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization, 28 emergency workers radiation immediately following the disaster died. About 20 more received, the high radiation doses died of different causes in the following years, and more than 4,000 cancer deaths due to a disaster expected which according to the UN agencies.
The Chernobyl Union of Ukraine, which supports survivors of the disaster, says 140,000 people who took part in the cleanup in the past quarter-century died. But it is not clear how many of these victims of radiation.
In the meantime, researchers say that in addition to spikes in certain types of cancer, there is evidence of serious fear survivors. Ukraine's Government says an area greater than Switzerland was affected, and a 30 km (19-mile) radius around the plant is practically uninhabited.
And the impact is unlikely to decrease anytime soon. Nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl and Fukushima will be running a human schedule.
Limited number of tourists in the accident zone for short visits, despite radiation is higher than normal, but scientists say, generations can take before it is completely safe to return for people.
