383108 22: A children''s amusement park lies desolate December 6, 2000 in Pripyat, Ukraine, a city of 50,000 that was completely evacuated 36 hours after the meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor April 26, 1986. Residents were told they were being taken away for just 3 days, as the city - just a mile from the epicenter - became completely contaminated with radioactivity. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is to be shut down for good December 15, 2000 and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development approved a $215 million loan to help Ukraine build two new nuclear reactors to compensate for energy lost after the Chernobyl closure.
