Lukka Ventures, from Bury, says the experience will never leave him
An urban explorer managed to sneak into the abandoned nuclear control room in the Fukushima red zone - discovering it eerily frozen in time.
Three of the six nuclear reactors at the plant had severe damage and released hydrogen and radioactive materials and residents within 30 km of the site were ordered to leave. "You could see people had taken refuge and you would walk into the shops and all the stock would be on the shelves still. It was really surreal.
He carried a Geiger counter - an electronic instrument used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation - to make sure he wasn't exposing himself. "We were close to the power plant that exploded. We walked around the building and there were rooms that had nuclear controllers in there."
