Inside the eerie abandoned nuclear control room ‘frozen in time’ since disaster struck

 

An urban explorer who snuck into an abandoned nuclear control room in a Japanese ‘red zone’ found it ‘frozen in time’.

 

Lukka Ventures, 27, has been exploring abandoned buildings in the UK for four years, but ventured out to Ōkuma, Japan, after seeing a documentary on the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

‘Red zones’ refer to sites that have been closed off around the nuclear power plant for fears of radioactivity.

 

 

Despite the dangers, Lukka, from Manchester, snooped around abandoned hospitals, malls and apartments in the red zone, which he said were untouched by time.

 

 

Lukka, spent four days in the Fukushima red zone, which stretches in Ōkuma this February and shared his findings on his YouTube channel.

 

He carried a Geiger counter – an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation – to make sure he wasn’t exposing himself.

 

Lukka added: ‘We were sneaking through rivers and fences. We had to be really careful of how radiated some of the areas were.

 

‘It was so so surreal. You would go into shopping centres and they would have food on the shelf. Everything has been left. Every building we went into was really weird.’
