Pripyat is a ghost town near the Chernobyl Nuclear
Power Plant. in Kiev Ukraine, near the border with
Belarus.
Pripyat was founded in 1970 to house workers for the
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially
proclaimed a city in 1979 but was abandoned in 1986
following the Chernobyl disaster. It was the ninth nuclear
city ("атомоград" (atomograd) in Russian, literally "atom
city") in the Soviet Union at the time. Its population had
been around 50,000 before the accident. The annual
rate of natural increase was estimated at around 800
persons, plus over 500 newcomers from all corners of
the Soviet Union each year. It had been planned that
the Pripyat's population should rise to 78,000. Pripyat
had a railroad link to Yazov station on the Kiev railway
line and a navigable river nearby.
