Notes

• In the real world, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is situated on the outskirts of the now abandoned city of Pripyat. In Dark of the Moon, the power plant is located inside of the city limits... and to make matters even more bizarre, Alexi Voskhod explicitly says that the entrance leads through a school. Who builds a school right next to a nuclear power plant?
