Сompulsory evacuation zone

Ukraine / Zhytomyrska / Narodychi /
 radiation, invisible, draw only border
If you look on radiation maps of the zone, there is a large hotspot in this area, despite being outside the official Zone of Alienation. This is probably from the smaller particles being carried on the wind. On the first day of the disaster, the wind was light and blew to the WSW, badly contaminating the Red Forest and creating a hotspot in this area, but sparing Pripyat. Later it switched to blowing heavily to the NNE, spreading the fallout much further, way up into Belarus.
