In 2018, 15 puppies were permitted to leave Chernobyl’s Nuclear Exclusion Zone. They were the first animals or objects allowed to exit that area since the disaster occurred in 1986.
In this final episode of our 2-part series on the “Chernobyl” miniseries, Candy and Ashley discuss the aftereffects of the nuclear accident and the accuracy of the HBO series.
Why does the death toll range from 31 people to thousands, depending on the report? What is radiophobia, and why were so many diagnosed with it after the disaster? How much of the “Chernobyl” series was true, according to survivors? And what happened to the real scientists and leaders depicted in the series, after the trial?
