Dragon Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 There's something hauntingly beautiful about derelict buildings. It's a theme that turns something as familiar as a city or town into a place of solitude, a place that feels akin to a dense forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I love seeing Nature eat what we build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 nice photos, but it's kind of hilarious how ordinary they are. "Oh, ugly scowling peasant woman - she must have been created by radiation!" Basically radiation is a great excuse for anything. Kid with down's syndrome, cleft palate, parasitic twin - "oh noes, must be teh radiashun!" Edit: so Britney Spears was created by radiation?

Joyrex Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 I wonder what steps the Russian government is taking to build a new sarcophagus, as the concrete they hastily constructed after the accident is supposedly breaking down and the core will be re-exposed, possibly releasing another radioactive cloud.

Guest umop_apisdn Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 the lazy eyelid. My graduate advisor is pretty famous for Chernobyl research in biology, he's been out there a good bit. Creepy stuff. He also took the picture used for the cover of this book. He has a much larger shot in our lab. He's also been bombarded with interviews about the catastrophe in Japan and was invited to speak about radiation effects at a recent UN meeting.

Terpentintollwut Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Good Photo Series on Pripyat & The Zone - Look at those and play Tassels. I saw this documentary on German tv some weeks ago, recorded the whole thing actually, in which a German reporter went to the zone (ironically, a few days before Fukushima) and visited a couple of places. On some little road in the fields, they came across an old lady who lived at a little farm house. She liked the reporter and invited him to dinner. He helped her peel the potatoes that she had grown in her own garden, in radioactive soil. He had this desperate look on his face, not knowing how to tell her he'd never want to eat any of them. Only when he had them cooked and ready on his plate, he worked up the guts to tell her. The old lady felt deeply insulted and couldn't understand how one could turn down what she called "the best potatoes in the Ukraine" It was surreal. If that is the result of radiation then DAMN. that's the result of Eastern Europe, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattern recognition Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I wonder what steps the Russian government is taking to build a new sarcophagus, as the concrete they hastily constructed after the accident is supposedly breaking down and the core will be re-exposed, possibly releasing another radioactive cloud. Chernobyl II: We're Not Done Nyet replacement sarcophagus has to wait until 2015 "The radioactivity we measured in Chernobyl is coming from the nuclear plant. The sarcophagus over reactor number 4 has numerous holes and needs to be replaced as soon as possible," Heinz Smital, a Greenpeace nuclear specialist, told Tierramérica. Smital, who recently visited the area, said that a new enclosure has been under construction since late 2010. "But given the high level of radioactivity, which would have lethal effects in a very short time, it is impossible to work in the vicinity of the reactor, which means the new sarcophagus has to be built far from the site and then rolled to Chernobyl over rails," he explained.
