This article is about a small city, Pripyat, in the Soviet Union. In this now vacant city, a tragic event occurred a while back that forced the whole population to evacuate.  On that day of April 26, 1986, the 50,000 people who lived there left due to a #4 reactor explosion. This threw caesium, iodine, strontium, pluotonium in to the air. This was a big scare for the city so it caused an immediate, emergency evacuation.

This would be very scary and a horrible thing to go through. A lot of the people who lived there said that it was one of the greatest places to live in the Soviet Union. I can not imagine leaving in such a wonderful place and being forced out of my home. This would be a very tragic, horrible thing to encounter.

A lot of people think the same thing will happen to certain areas in Japan. That would be a terrible thing because Japan is such a good country and it does so much for our world. It would be horrible to see such a thing happen.
