CHERNOBYL: PRIPYAT's SWIMMING POOL AZURE before the Chernobyl disaster and after.

The Azure Swimming Pool (Russian: Бассейн Лазурный) is one of the swimming pools in the abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine, which was affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Liquidators used the pool after the accident. It was abandoned 12 years after the Chernobyl disaster, in 1998. The Pripyat's swimming pool is considered one of the cleanest places of the abandoned city. It is located in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The city of Pripyat was founded in 1970, as the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It had grown to a population of nearly 50,000 by the time it was evacuated the day after the Chernobyl disaster. The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 of April 1986 at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat . After the disaster, the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days. People were told to take only their documents and necessities. They were told they will be allowed to come back in a few days. It has been 33 years since. _______________________________________________ If you liked this video and would like to see more of Chernobyl disaster area, Ghost city of Pripyat or other abandoned sites, please comment below.
