In the heart of Trino, the first power plant that dismantles the reactor. “We will tame the monster”

TRINO VERCELLESE – Where there were the three power transformers that fed the electricity produced by the plant to the grid, now there is a concrete esplanade that looks like a carpet of white pumice. Hot sun, silence. Pollen floats in the air and you wonder what and how this place must have been 57 years ago. October 1965: the first ignition. Twenty-one years later: Chernobyl.
