A well known accident carries the name of this city, even though the said accident occurred some 10 miles away, in a much bigger city.

You might want to post again. The city's website appears to be in the bottom right hand corner.

Whoops, overlooked...

On second thought, website is of the "much bigger city", not of the one pictured here. But, I guess, it should be an easy hint now.

Yes, it is the actual city of Chernobyl (or what's left of it, anyway) The power plant is located in the city of Pripyat, about 10 miles north. Pripyat (pop. about 50,000 before the accident) is often mistaken for the city of Chernobyl (about 14,000 before accident)

Is sparcely populated today, mostly by scientists, administration personnel of the exclusion zone, and handful of locals who refuse to leave.

I've been fascinated by it for many years. Easy one for me.

Hope this isn't too easy.
