Thirty-five years ago, an accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused two explosions that irradiated the surrounding area. It was one of the worst nuclear disasters in world history, and more than three decades later, the area around the plant is still an exclusion zone. The surrounding buildings, nuclear plant, and gigantic radar array called Duga-1, abandoned suddenly and left to decay over decades, are haunting reminders of the dangers of nuclear power and recognizable the world over because they keep appearing in popular movies and video games.

Now, just in time for the disaster’s 35th anniversary, Ukraine has declared that the enormous Duga-1 radar array is a protected cultural monument.
