PRIPYAT, UKRAINE - NOVEMBER 29: Graffiti on a building on the main square in the town of Pripyat, which was abandoned following the Chernobyl nuclear accident, on November 29, 2016 in Pripyat, Ukraine. On April 26, 1986 workers at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant inadvertantly caused a meltdown in reactor number four, causing it to explode and send a toxic cocktail of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere in the world's worst civilian nuclear incident. More than thirty years later, the New Safe Confinement sarcophagus has been constructed and slid into place over the old reactor, an event being marked today by a ceremony including Ukraine's president.
