Wikipedia description:
Plavsk (Russian: Плавск) is a town and the administrative center of Plavsky District in Tula Oblast, Russia, located on the Plava River. Population: 16,165 (2010 census); 16,750 (2002 census); 16,559 (1989 Soviet census). Plavsk, Russia is widely known as a major "radioactive hotspot" resulting from the 130-kilometer-wide radioactive plume that drifted over the Tula region following the April 26, 1986, Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Located about 600 kilometers northeast of the Chernobyl plant, the Plavsk district received exceptionally heavy deposits of radioactive material. This environmental legacy continues to impact the area today.
