There don't seem to be any color photographs of the destroyed core. I think the pictures were taken shortly after the accident, during the "cleanup". There are a lot more pictures at http://www.chernobyl.com.ua/photo_gallery.htm.

• This enormous cluster of radiation mass observed by the photographer is called "The Elephant Leg." This amount of radioactive particles will be enough to kill millions of people.
• Here, under a minor layer of soil, lies a radioactive mass, which was removed from the destroyed 4th reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant. There have been numerous cases of leakage of radioactive substances from this unreliable cover.
• One of the largest sites of concentration of radioactive waste is located next to Chernobyl River Port. On the photo: these abandoned barges are full of radioactive waste, which have never been removed and buried.
• The cleanup operation after the accident assumed huge proportions. Up to 600,000 workers and military personnel were involved. (photo)
• Between 17 and 45 percent of Chernobyl liquidators received doses between 10 and 25 centigrays (10 to 25 rads). (For comparison, in the United States the annual dose permitted general public is 0.1 rads; nuclear workers are permitted 5 rads.) (photo)
