Kopachi (Ukrainian: Копачі; Russian: Копачи) is a former village near Chernobyl, Ukraine, just south-west of the Pripyat River Basin.

After Kopachi village was evacuated by the authorities, all the houses were torn down and buried, as an experiment.

[1] The only traces left of the village today is a series of mounds and a few surviving trees which are not part of the local native flora.

[4] The government did not recognize the fact that these highly contaminated buildings and houses would seep radioactive isotopes into the water table.

The soil and water surrounding the former village remain contaminated with radioactive materials including plutonium, strontium-90, and caesium-137.
