This is how it looks now. The park is the most radiaoactive section of town because it is directly in front of the reactor.

Ghost Town is a modern Pompeii. The Soviet era is preserved here - in the radiation, for 18 years.
Every step toward the little cars adds 100 microroentgen to my geiger counter reading.
