Chernobyl, liquidators


Chernobyl, liquidators, originally uploaded by Rhian vK.

Around 650,000 people were recruited or forced to assist in the clean-up or

'liquidation' of the consequences of the nuclear catastrophe at Chernobyl.

Many of them became ill, and an estimated 8,000 -10,000 died from the

radiactive doses they received.
