SCHWEIZ ATOMKRAFTWERK LEIBSTADT

Leibstadt nuclear power station, Switzerland. Nuclear power station at night. Leibstadt boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear power station in Leibstadt, Switzerland. The reactor is housed in the domed building, a cooling tower is also seen (centre). A BWR is a design in which water is used as both the coolant and the moderator. The moderator slows down the neutrons emitted by nuclear fission, in order to sustain a chain reaction. The water boils in the reactor core and the resulting steam is used to drive a turbine, generating electricity. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/MARTIN BOND) === ===

Ukraine marked the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which was the world's worst ever nuclear accident. Some 50,000 Pripyat residents were evacuated after the disaster, taking only a few belongings. They never returned, and workers and their families now live in the new town of Slavutich, 60 km (37,5 miles) from the plant.

April 1986 wurden rund 200.000 Menschen aus dem unmittelbaren Umkreis des Kernkraftwerks evakuiert. Um Panik zu vermeiden, wurde den 50.000 Einwohnern von Prybjat vor der Raeumung mitgeteilt, es handle sich um eine militaerische Uebung. Deshalb wurde alles Hab und Gut zurueckgelassen.
