Chernobyl was the world’s worst nuclear accident, but its legacy is sadly not unique. A new exhibition of photographs by Robert Knoth documents life in the radioactive ruins of four nuclear disaster sites in the former Soviet Union.
With many governments now advocating a new generation of nuclear power stations, these photographs offer a timely and cautionary reminder of the terrible human costs of nuclear technology – and the deadly consequences when things go wrong.
Fallout: the human cost of nuclear catastrophe is showing at the gallery at Oxo Tower Wharf, Bargehouse Street, South Bank, London from 18 April – 14 May 2006. The exhibition is open daily from 11am to 6pm. Admission is free. www.oxotower.co.uk
