'Voices of Chernobyl': Survivors' Stories

by Melissa Block

The memories of those who survived Chernobyl were collected in the book Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of the Nuclear Disaster by Svetlana Alexievich. We hear some of their stories: those living with illness and fear, and those sent in to clean up the mess and monitor the damage.

A month after the explosion, Chernobyl employees head off by bus to begin another day's work
