Decades after the Chernobyl disaster, grandmothers lived alone in ghost villages, growing fruit and vegetables, keeping pigs and cows, and carrying on as normal inside the radiation zone
FORTY years on from the greatest nuclear disaster in history, a 1,000 square mile patch of land is still sealed off from the world, crawling with cockroaches and patrolled by radioactive mutant wolves.
Chernobyl has captured the public imagination unlike any other 20th-century disaster.
