Chernobyl Archival Footage

 

On September 26th in 1977 the first power unit starts operating the Chernobyl NPP. It took a long time to choose a suitable place. The launch was delayed several times and the work progressed slowly. Besides, necessary workers delay supply of necessary materials. In parallel, three kilometers from the station, a new city was being built for its employees – Pripyat. At TVDATA’s stock footage library, we have Chernobyl Archival Footage from various years, starting from the day the accident happened until now.

Although the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is located in the territory of Ukraine, most of the victims are in Belarus. This was due to the direction of the wind at the time of the disaster. The agricultural lands of Belarus turned out to be unsuitable for cultivation. The country had to abandon them, which led to a serious loss in the economy.
