Despite the quarantine, but in compliance with all requirements of personal safety, Slavutych people and workers of Chornobyl NPP honoured the memory of the Chornobyl heroes.
On the eve of the sad anniversary, representatives of the city government addressed to the Slavutych residents with a proposal to keep the quarantine and to remember the fallen Chornobyl heroes not by the traditional laying of flowers, but by a window candle. Residents of the town, including many ChNPP employees, listened to it, and candles were lit in many windows on the evening of April 25.
Representatives of the Chornobyl NPP active youth were on an honour guard at the memorial to the liquidators of the accident consequences, and the ChNPP union leaders honoured the memory of the liquidators with fresh flowers.
The enterprise’s shift staff and administration laid flowers to the memorial near the Administrative Building No.1 at the Chornobyl NPP site.
In addition, the Plant’s operating personnel paid the tribute to the memory of Valerii Khodemchuk, the only person died on the night of the Chornobyl disaster and remained forever in the debris of the Central Hall. Traditionally, at night the personnel brought fresh flowers to the memorial plate, which is located on the wall separating the 4th destroyed Power Unit from the ChNPP attended premises.
Within the framework of the commemoration events at the Chornobyl NPP site, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy laid flowers to the memorial to the liquidators.
We do always remember the heroic deed of the Chornobyl heroes!
