Letter: Marvelling at the wildlife of Chernobyl

Published 6 May 2026

From Anthony Margetts, Wilmslow, Cheshire, UK

Thank you for your excellent article about Chernobyl. I was involved with a safety case for a new building at Sellafield in 1986 when the accident happened. I always wanted to visit, and in 2018 I was lucky enough to visit the site and see all the most interesting aspects as described by your reporter Matthew Sparkes. I was amazed by the wildlife and the complete return to nature (18 April, p 28).
