The neighboring city of , once a "model Soviet city" for 50,000 residents, was not evacuated until 36 hours after the blast. Today, it remains a haunting "ghost city" where elementary schools are still filled with decaying toys and apartments with shattered TV screens. The 119-mile Exclusion Zone created around the site remains largely uninhabitable for humans for centuries to come. The Human Toll and "Bio-Robots" The true death toll remains a subject of intense debate:
