Editing Chernobyl exclusion zone (section)

==Infrastructure==
{{Ovruch to Chernihiv Line}}
The industrial, transport, and residential infrastructure has been largely crumbling since the 1986 evacuation. There are at least 800 known "burial grounds" ([[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]] singular: ''mohyl'nyk'') for the contaminated vehicles with hundreds of abandoned military vehicles and helicopters. River ships and barges lie in the abandoned port of Chernobyl. The port can easily be seen in satellite images of the area.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.thecheaproute.com/exploring-chernobyl-with-google-maps/ |title=Exploring Chernobyl Dead Zone With Google Maps {{pipe}} The Cheap Route |publisher=Blog.TheCheapRoute.com |access-date=31 October 2015 |archive-date=14 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151114064206/http://blog.thecheaproute.com/exploring-chernobyl-with-google-maps/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The [[Jupiter Factory]], one of the largest buildings in the zone, was in use until 1996 but has since been abandoned and its condition is deteriorating.

The infrastructure immediately used by the existing nuclear-related installations is maintained and developed, such as the [[Ukrzaliznytsia|railway]] [[Chernihiv–Ovruch railway|link to the outside world]] from the Semykhody station used by the power plant.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radioactiverailroad.com/places.html |title=A journey through the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone |publisher=Radioactive Railroad |access-date=31 October 2015}}</ref>

===Chernobyl-2===
The Chernobyl-2 site (a.k.a. the "[[Russian Woodpecker]]") is a former Soviet military installation relatively close to the power plant, consisting of a gigantic transmitter and receiver belonging to the Duga-1 [[over-the-horizon radar]] system.<ref>[http://pripyat.com/ru/internet_photo/chernobyl_2/] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080221145557/http://pripyat.com/ru/internet_photo/chernobyl_2/|date=21 February 2008}}</ref> Located {{Convert|2|km||abbr=on}} from the surface area of Chernobyl-2 is a large underground complex that was used for anti-missile defense, space surveillance and communication, and research.<ref name=spyra/> Military units were stationed there.<ref name="spyra">Wolfgang Spyra.
