Chernobyl, Ukraine    

This radar image (L-band, 23 cm) was taken during the SRL-2 mission (STS-68). The Chernobyl power plant along the Pripyat River sits on the elongated dark cooling pond at 1. The nuclear plant is the bright area along the upper left end of the cooling pond. The city of Chernobyl is the bright region south of the cooling pond (2). The Dnepr'(3) feeds into the Kiev reservoir (4), just north of Kiev. Bright regions in the image have more vegetation.
