Pripyat, Ukraine
Many people have never heard of Pripyat. It was a small town built to serve the workers of the nearest industrial center — the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Most inhabitants of Pripyat worked at Chernobyl. When the Chernobyl nuclear accident happened in 1986, all of the residents of Pripyat were evacuated within 36 hours. The town of Pripyat was declared unfit for human habitation in the days following the accident, although you are able to tour the surrounding area.
