The Chernobyl Power Plant is named after the city Chernobyl, located 9 miles south south-east of the plant. To help the new workers at the plant a sister city was built, called Prypiat.
Built as a testament to the New Soviet way of life, and the Power plant as a shining example of soviet engineering, Life in Prypiat was the dream of any good communist.
Boasting one of the finest hotels, swimming pools, and up to date apartments, many people moved to the city looking for a better life. There was even a fair ground constructed to celebrate May Day, which never had chance to open.
The population of the city at the time of the disaster was around 50,000
