We reached the old control room, long and poorly lighted, with its damaged machinery, the place where the Soviet engineers threw a power switch for a routine test on that doomed night, and two explosions followed.  The Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion was only about 60 miles from photographer Efrem Lukatsky&#8217;s  home, but he didn\u00c2\u2019t learn about it until the next morning from a neighbor. Only a few photographers were allowed to cover the destroyed reactor and desperate cleanup efforts, and all of them paid for it with their health.
