Aggressive Environment. Radiation. Nuclear Test Site

Overview

Imagine Slovenia completely uninhabitable. Such is the territory of the Semipalatinsk test site. In these 18.5 thousand square kilometers, the atom was not peaceful. For 40 years, from 1949 to 1989, more than 500 nuclear and thermonuclear explosions thundered here, including the most powerful of the ground ones. How does this land live now, and will it ever be habitable? The film crew of the program "Aggressive Environment" visited one of the most radioactive places on the planet.
