I was always amused how fragile our world is. And for me one of the symbols of the hidden threat was a nuclear power plant, maybe because I heard so much about Chernobyl when I was little. Nuclear power plants are some of the most complex systems ever designed.

With this kind of complexity an unexpected, incomprehensible disaster is a ‘normal accident’ — you can not expect that you can control everything. Atomic cities series is exploring social landscapes of Ukrainian cities that are involved in Nuclear Power production chain. These cities are part of electricity supply chain of Europe, since several Ukrainian nuclear power plants are connected to the powerlines running from Ukraine to the European Union.
