A quarter of a bucket of radioactive cesium-137 spread over the exclusion zone after the Chernobyl disaster, contaminating the environment and affecting lives.
In Pripyat, the abandoned town near Chernobyl, two survivors recall their evacuation during the 1986 nuclear disaster. They describe the chaos of that day and the lasting impact of radioactive cesium-137 on their lives. As they walk through crumbling buildings, they discuss the azure dust that still lingers in the environment. Azure Dust runs for 70 minutes and is available in English and Ukrainian.
Prypyat was founded 2 km away from the Chornobyl nuclear power plant.
The explosion released plutonium, uranium, strontium, and mostly cesium.
Prypyat became the world's biggest agglomerate of nuclear waste and was surrounded by a barb-wired fence.
