Created by Valery Hronusov on the Google Earth Community, this fascinating representation shows radiation levels in a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear facility - the site of one of the world's worst nuclear accidents. It's interesting to be able to visualize where the radiation hotspots occur and provides a better geographical understanding of this tragic disaster.
