Ukraine. Province of Kiev. 5 km from the Chernobyl atomic power station. A dosimeter is used to measure the level of radioactivity near a derelict day nursery for children. No children could ever come back in the crèche because of the high level of radiations. An atomic sign warns the entrance and the danger for the human body. Inside the 30 km exclusion zone. The dead zone has been created after the catastrophe which took place on April 1986 at 1.23 am with the explosion of reactor No 4 at Chernobyl atomic power station.
