The Ukraine and the world marked the 20th anniversary of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which sent a radioactive cloud across Europe. 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, 37 miles from the plant. The city of Slavutich was built following the evacuation of Pripyat, which was just one mile away from the Chernobyl plant.
