Photo N8
At the former stadium in Chernobyl, the open-air museum of equipment, used for disaster liquidation is organized.
Here were collected all types of machines, used to fight the exploded reactor.
Despite thick armor of military transporters, radiation level inside these machines were extreme, as these machines were used for toughest and dirtiest jobs, like to destroy contaminated villages and bury them in the ground.
Among 8 machines, the one at the photo is the most 'dirty', it is not recommend to approach it closer than 5 meters.
Surprisingly, the red firefighters truck at the right is relatively clean - you can stay nearby without severe consequences for your health.
