In the Shadow of Chernobyl: The History of the Duga Radar Array

Описание: Independence Day, 1976. A day of celebration for hundreds of millions of American citizens. But for those paying attention to the radios, it was equally a day of concern. On dozens of radio stations, those operating on the 3-30 MHz range, an unusual clicking sound emerged out of the blue, disrupting both civilian and military channels. For the next thirteen years, this sound would plague radio broadcasts, and then it would disappear. This is, of course, the interference of the Duga Radar Arrays. One of these arrays happened to be just a few kilometres from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and sits abandoned today. Let’s trace the story of this gigantic structure to the present day, and see what future awaits it.
