ChNPP is pleased to announce the search for photographs, which were taken within the ChNPP territory, in the town of Prypiat or somewhere within the area of Exclusion Zone in 1986.

This year we honour the 35th anniversary since one of the greatest disaster in the history of humankind – Chornobyl catastrophe. The ChNPP top management and personnel strive to prevent this important date and its lessons from being forgotten.

We announce a large-scale event, namely searching for the pictures, which show the places that were inhabited a while ago, but now they are within the Exclusion Zone area. It can be a common photo from the streets of Prypiat town, some occasional pictures of Chornobyl NPP, the evacuation captured in the pictures or any other photo, which can tell us a part of the history of such close, but distant 1986.

If you have such photos and would like to share them then please do as follows:
1. Digital (scanned) photos should be sent to email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

2. Paper photos and processed films should be sent to post address: P.O. box 11, Slavutych, Kyiv region, 07100 with a note “For ICID/Для ВМСІ”. The provided by you pictures and films will be returned to your specified address after they are scanned.

We respect the copyright and your emotions you feel to the pictures you send so we would be happy to get known whom the pictures belong to, who is in the pictures, and , if possible, to learn the story in this every captured scene.

All photos will be kept in the archive of Chorobyl NPP and published with specifying the author’s’ name on ChNPP site as well as on social media.
