Almost 30 years after the Chernobyl meltdown, wildlife can be found in the exclusion zone. In 1986 the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant had a melt down, killed 31 people, and the rest had to evacuate in order to flee radiation poisoning. Recently discovered by scientist, there is in fact a wide range of wildlife in the area, and in most cases, the population and ecosystem is larger and stronger than ever.
Since the plant has melted down, people have been unable to live there. Many protests resulted from the Chernobyl incident, causing a new era world wide and in the United States to find a new and cleaner source of energy of which is cleaner than coal, but more reliable than nuclear waste.

Its amazing that life would come of such unfortunate incident. Chernobyl was devastating and the wildlife no growing is stronger than before. These plants could probably withstand the radiation that is still present in Chernobyl. -Bernadette NEgrete

That is very interesting that wildlife is living there, after such a terrible incident. While being an unfortunate event, what happened at Chernobyl has a lot of discussion and debate around it, because it is a conflict of nuclear waste and energy sources.
