Chernobyl redux



It’s been a bumpy ride, but life has returned to normal at Chernobyl. At least for subsequent generations of the animals that perished in the disaster and who now flourish in the returning wilderness. People have been slowly returning too. Some legally, some illegally. Moral? It takes a while but mother nature can fix any boo boo.
