35 years after the worst nuclear disaster in history, parts of Chernobyl are still too radioactive for people to go to. Abandoned and frozen in time, the site of the nuclear plant in Ukraine has posed unanswered questions for decades. Due to the scramble to leave the site following the accident, there was no record of whether the holding pools in Reactor Five stored nuclear fuel.
For the first time since the 1986 disaster, drone pilots and researchers were able to go on-site and use state-of-the-art technology to answer some of those questions. Their Elios 2 drone explored areas not seen in decades while searching for signs of nuclear waste.
In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice.
