Chornobyl Exclusion Zone and abandoned city of Prypiat
The Duga Radar, an over-the-horizon system once used in the Soviet Union's early-warning missile defense network and nicknamed the ''Russian Woodpecker,'' stands at the Chornobyl-2 site in the Kyiv region, Ukraine, on April 14, 2026. April 26, 2026, marks the 40th anniversary of the explosion of the fourth reactor at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which occurred on April 26, 1986. The accident remains one of the most significant incidents in the history of nuclear energy. (Photo by Kyrylo Chubotin/Ukrinform/NurPhoto)
