Red Forest
The Red Forest (Ukrainian: Рудий ліс, ''Rudyi lis'' Russian: Рыжий лес ''Ryzhy les''), formerly the Wormwood Forest,〔 is the area surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant within the Exclusion Zone. The name "Red Forest" comes from the ginger-brown colour of the pine trees after they died following the absorption of high levels of radiation from the Chernobyl accident on 26 April 1986.〔 In the post-disaster cleanup operations, the Red Forest was bulldozed and buried in "waste graveyards".〔(''Chernobyl's continuing hazards'' ), by Stefen Mulvey, BBC News〕 The site of the Red Forest remains one of the most contaminated areas in the world today.〔("Chernobyl - Part One" ) publisher=BBC News | Last Updated: Tuesday, 4 April 2006〕 ==Disaster and cleanup==
(詳細はzone of alienation; this area received the highest doses of radiation from the Chernobyl accident and the resulting clouds of smoke and dust, heavily polluted with radiation. The trees died from this radiation. The explosion and fire at the Chernobyl No. 4 reactor contaminated the soil, water and atmosphere with radiation equivalent to that of 20 times the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.〔(''Back to wild PDF'' )〕 In the post-disaster cleanup operations, a majority of the pine trees were bulldozed and buried in trenches by the "liquidators". The trenches were then covered with a thick carpet of sand and planted with pine saplings.〔(''A Natural History of Chernobyl'' ), by Mary Mycio, Wormwood Forest: A Natural History of Chernobyl〕 Many fear that as the trees decay, radiation will leach into the ground water. People have evacuated the contaminated zone around the Red Forest.
