Polish photographer Arkadiusz Podniesinski
travelled to the site of the Fukushima nuclear disaster last month to
see the location with his own eyes. When he obtained permits to enter
the roughly 20km (12.5 mile) Exclusion Zone, he was confronted with a
scene similar to one from a post apocalyptic film. Podniesinski previously photographed the area around the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

“It is not earthquakes or tsunami that
are to blame for the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
station, but humans,” writes Podniesinski on his website. He undertook
the project so that he could draw his “own conclusions without being
influenced by any media sensation, government propaganda, or nuclear
lobbyists who are trying to play down the effects of the disaster, and
pass on the information obtained to as wider a public as possible.”
