This must be the most ambiguous places of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. On the one hand it’s a breathtaking industrial beauty, on the other one it’s a symbol of the time that stopped forever. Finally it’s another evidence of the biggest industrial disaster, portrayal of disappointed hopes and wreckage of brilliant ideas. All these aspects are reflected by this unfinished fifth power unit of the Chernobyl power plant.
This power unit had been planned to be put into service in November 1986. However due to the accident of April 26, 1986 it was not doomed to happen… The fifth power unit remained unfinished to stand forever surrounded by construction cranes…
They also planned to build the sixth power unit but had time only to break the new ground for it.

Great industrial images can be taken here.
Famous dark red panels of the building make the 5th power unit the most recognizable objects of the exclusion zone.
