Chernobyl by Chris Wevers

The photographer Chris Wevers had the courage to visit Chernobyl in the Ukraine. Actually they are building a new concrete shelter roof to cover the nuclear disaster. After Fukushima this Chernobyl as an unforgettable lesson crept into our minds again. And because I just wrote an article about the city Dnipropetrovsk, also Ukraine, I asked the photographer Chris Wevers to share three of his Chernobyl documents: (1) a merry-go-round, never used, (2) a swimming-pool, dry, in Pripyat, and (3) some tanks and trucks still radioactive: click on the pictures to enter the flickr galleries of Chris Wevers…
