Chernobyl forest fire contained
TO SEE VIDEO
A large forest fire burning near Chernobyl has been contained after burning nearly 400 hectares. The blaze came within twenty kilometres of the abandoned nuclear power plant which raised fears the flames would burn shrub and woodland surrounding the disaster zone; this in turn could have released radioactive material up into the atmosphere.
