Kopachi
Kopachi ((ウクライナ語:Копачі), (ロシア語:Копачи)) was a village near Chernobyl, Ukraine, just south-west of the Pripyat River Basin. After the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 the village was contaminated by fallout and subsequently evacuated and is now within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone; and thus has been abandoned since 1986.
==Overview==
After Kopachi village was evacuated by the authorities, all the houses were torn down and buried, as an experiment. This village was the only village suffering this fate as a result of the Chernobyl disaster.〔("Chernobyl 25 years on: a poisoned landscape" ), Robin McKie, ''The Guardian'', accessed 2011-03-27〕
The only traces left of the village today is a series of mounds and a small number of surviving trees which are not part of the local native flora. Each mound contains the remains of one house and is topped by a sign with the international radiation symbol. The Chernobyl disaster highly contaminated Kopachi with high-level radioactive fallout. A kindergarten and one other brick building are the only architectural structures that remain standing, all other buildings were bulldozed. The government did not recognize the fact that these highly-contaminated buildings and houses would seep radioactive isotopes into the water table. Burying the buildings drove radio-toxins deeper into the environment. The soil and water surrounding the former village remain contaminated with radioactive materials including plutonium, strontium-90, and cesium-137. Other villages in the exclusion zone faced a similar fate, thus polluting the aquifer.
