Having spent some days shooting around the surrounding areas of the type RBMK-1500 Ignalina Nuclear Power Station, the news that we'd been granted permission to be escorted within the station itself, was incredible.
From entering through armed security border control in the reception to being given complete freedom to photograph all areas including the highly secure Reactor 1 Control Room and the Reactor Core itself was a privilege and an insight into the scale and ambition of these ex-Soviet power stations.
