scope also the passing years haven't made the world's most infamous exclusion zone any safer. this still remains the world's biggest manmade nuclear disaster and it happened because of a failed experiment when the employees at the germ w. station tried to bring the reactor to a temporary stop and the experiment failed and resulted in an explosion the whole area around the plant to thirty kilometer radius was contaminated some parts of belarus and everywhere across the european continent traces of radiation were felt even reaching the east coast the united states now indeed this still remains historical landmarks still some people trying to draw parallels with fukushima accident nowadays but many experts agree that the accidents have been completely different got only in the causes of the disaster but also in the immediate aftermath because the levels of radiation which were detected injured in the chernobyl area twenty five years ago were still much higher than the ones in the
10:26 pm
fukushima right now ukraine has managed to persuade several world countries to invest over five hundred million euros into building a new circle for this which would last for another hundred years it was safeguard the chernobyl reactor from let me see more radiation to the atmosphere so indeed it's twenty five years old but the legacy of chernobyl clearly lives on and the chernobyl story still making the headlines everywhere across the world but it's absolutely horrifying to be in the exclusion zone i've been a regular visitor the since say two thousand thought i. recently went there for a week to film a fresh documentary which all of these you will be able to see on monday and walking through these dead empty streets always gives me a creepy feeling despite that i've been there more than a dozen times and the area is completely deserted and just thinking that this was a communist paradise a role model city full of those who are living and working at the chernobyl nuclear power station now it's completely deserted and lifeless this feeling is of course
10:27 pm
a very frightful and horrifying indeed this area will never be inhabited again because the fallout period of maybe nuclear particles. can reach up to twenty thousand years and indeed just looking at the sound of freak out and the exclusion zone in general you realize how costly how costly a man's mistakes can be and that is definitely the main purpose of the exclusion zone right now to remind the world that such mistakes must be made again. on plans to end the fukushima crisis within nine months and closing the reactor complex with a protective. however contra nuclear power experts to greenpeace explain why the idea may be a little too ambitious. to first estimate that they can build the door mainly in six months i only have to remind you of. two crew or four channel before we have to first call for goods and. before we have a second cycle of visits it's not something that's very easy to be done did for
10:28 pm
also take a lot longer than the six months because well the dorm is all the fuel needs to be removed and that is a very very complex operation and even then really fifty could could come out of the radiation levels around fukushima the new cars station are sufficiently high to keep people out for also a very long time i think you'll be able to compare that for these happening now in . unless you would remove the first metre top shortstops all you always have higher radiation levels in the surroundings that are so high that it will not be able to live there for quite a long time. the nation's headlines in just a few minutes stay with our. for
