One of history’s worst nuclear meltdowns took place 25 years ago, when a reactor exploded in Chernobyl, Ukraine, contaminating everything within 50km. Now, the European country is ready to open up the once-radiated area to citizens and tourists alike.
It took around a year to put together from scratch, but a German PC modder going by the name “Froop” managed to build an elaborate PC casemod inspired by the Chernobyl theme in the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The result is “Unit 4,” a working PC model of Chernobyl complete with a flip-top that allows you to peer into the bowels of the destroyed power plant. The construction process is outlined in its entirety in the following links, but you can check out some pics of the early stages as well as the final product in the gallery.
