In Belarus just over the border from Ukraine, many children have been living with chronic radiation sickness since the reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power Plant exploded in 1986. They have returned to school after being unable to escape contamination for yet another summer due to pandemic border restrictions. For VOA, Ricardo Marquina has the story from the Gomel region of southern Belarus in this story narrated by Miguel Amaya.
