Mayhaps the entire town became an artifact? Eitehr through the horror of the event, OR, at the last second before it's explosion, the reactor became a special kind of artifact, and the artifact energy was spread across the location along with the radiation? (The idea of collecting an artifact in Chernobyl sounds like a good story idea actually.)
