Landscape Architecture firms in the United States are leading an evolving initiative to engage their Ukrainian counterparts displaced by the war. The idea is for US-based companies to hire Ukrainian designers to work remotely, providing them with much-needed income, and also some agency over their lives during this difficult time:

Chernobyl Architecture
The Chernobyl disaster (locally, Chornobyl Catastrophe) was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 Apr 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (officially Ukrainian SSR), which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central Moscow’s authorities.
Chernobyl Photos
Photographs by Radu Gulie, freelance photojournalist from Romania, about the Chernobyl accident and it’s effects. “Considering the last events that took place in Japan I think this is the best moment for the world to understand the problems regarding the improper use of nuclear energy”.
The photographs were taken at the Chernobyl plant (what’s left of it) and in Prypiat (dead city – where plant workers lived).

An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima I nuclear incident, which is considered far less serious and has caused no deaths). The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the Soviet economy.
The disaster began in reactor number four of the Chernobyl plant, near the city of Prypiat. There was a sudden power output surge, and when an emergency shutdown was attempted, a more extreme spike in power output occurred, which led to a reactor vessel rupture and a series of explosions.
These events exposed the graphite moderator of the reactor to air, causing it to ignite. The resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive smoke fallout into the atmosphere. This plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union and Europe. From 1986 to 2000, around 350,000 people were evacuated and resettled from the most severely contaminated areas of Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine.

The accident raised concerns about the safety of the Soviet nuclear power industry, as well as nuclear power in general, slowing its expansion for a number of years.
