Quote:Fires in Chernobyl have been ravaging parts of the exclusion zone for over a week, and now there are concerns the blaze is heading dangerously close to its nuclear reactor.
The news comes just a week after Ukrainian officials discovered a huge radiation spike in the area where the first fires began.
As the fires continue to spread, there are growing concerns that if it goes too close to the reactor, which exploded back in 1986, there could be radiation contamination.
There is radioactive contamination in the area that the smoke from the fire will spread further afield. The news always downplays any radiation risk. I haven't heard any news from Lucas, I can only hope he stays away from the smoke and fire and stays safe.
