When Will People Be Able To Return?
Because of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, many Ukrainians were forced to abandon their homes, and many scientists estimate the region will be uninhabitable by humans for the next 20,000 years. The rest of us will just have to make do with visiting as tourists while the situation is resolved.
When will people be able to return?
Silver Linings
Although the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was unquestionably a catastrophe for humanity, there are some silver linings to be found, as you can see. The Exclusion Zone has evolved into an important wildlife refuge, providing scientists with the opportunity to study evolution in extreme conditions. It may be years before people are able to return to their homes in safety, but at the very least, something positive has come out of it!
