I'm not sure returning to Novouralsk (in the first part with iPhone) is the best idea, since Novouralsk / Sverdlovsk-44 is a closed town that produces weapons-grade uranium. The worse kind of accidents happen in those closed towns, like Chelyabinsk-40 / 65, now Ozyorsk, the site of the Mayak disaster, as bad as Chernobyl but back in 1950s, it was easier to hide. The fallout contamination zone from Mayak explosion was hidden away as the East Ural Nature Reserve, which sounds harmless compared to the "Zone of Alienation" around Chernobyl.
Lake Karachay, used as a dumping ground for the Mayak plant, is still listed as the most polluted place on Earth, but now it is drying up, causing its radioactive dust to blow away.
The Mayak complex dumped about 76 million cubic meters of radioactive waste water into the Techa River, which provides water to nearby areas, and about 65% of local residents fell ill with radiation sickness.
Doctors called it the "special disease" because they were not allowed to note radiation in their diagnoses as long as the facility was secret.
In the village of Metlino, it was found that 65% of residents were suffering from chronic radiation sickness. About half a million people in the area have been irradiated in one or more of the incidents, exposing them to as much as 20 times the radiation suffered by the Chernobyl disaster victims.
