That's where the fan was tossed into the shit.

… And the shit was sprayed all over the place and beyond. I was 11 at the time and even I could feel the panic among the adults. Stay indoor when it rains, do not eat anything coming from your garden…
Then, I love "'urban decay" pictures. This one is truly great, plus it has a cataclysmic vibe when you know where it has been taken.

What is that big pixel art circle on the wall? Why is it a circle?

Some of those panels and indicators seem to be lit. Is there power? Is some of that still working? I would have thought that whole thing would be powered down, including all its support mechanisms.

I think it's just sunlight from the back

It is not, these control rooms are rather central to the plant. If I am not mistaken this is the reactor 4 panel, and immediately to the right of this image is the original concrete sarcophagus. The plant still has electrical power for some of the monitoring stuff, and the lights are still on (at least last I knew about) for maintenance and tour groups.

Here is another angle with the lighting and concrete visible. As you can tell, the concrete on the left is not the same type as the ceiling.

The control rooms for reactors 1-3 are still in pretty decent shape, as they were operating much after the meltdown. There are also schematics available online if you want to see how these rooms are positioned within the plant.
