Wow. Is that even safe?? Scary!!! No way would I go to something like that. :-S
Check out this website.
The casual traveler has been able to go there for some time as long as you don't stop.
"This is dead village that is located some 50 kms West of the reactor. The level of radiation here is 50-70 microroentgen per hour, already not good for people to live."
Just crazy...Even more crazier is that old man living in his village. It's strangely eery to see those pics. It's like the entire place was just abandoned/wiped out at once.
"How many people died of radiation? No one knows - not even approximately. The official casualty reports range from 30 to 300,000 and many unofficial sources put the toll over 400,000.
The final toll will not be known in our lifetime, and maybe not our childrens either."
Yeah, Chernobyl's real high on my list of places I need to visit, below about 2 million other places.
