If my math is right, 0.047% of the radiation should have degraded since the reaction.

American reactor designs weren't a whole lot better back in the day...

They just didn't have operators who would exploit their design flaws as easily.

The Chernobyl accident would never have occurred if the plant operators hadn't run tests & experiments below the safe operational limits.

It's crazy how accurate the CoD maps really are. I've seen footage on TV and I almost feel like I've been there. I know it sounds crazy but as the camera was going around the area I knew what was coming up. Seeing it in real life on Camera was a pretty interesting feeling after having gamed up on the level several times and knowing it the way I know it.

Berz out.

yeah, they modelled their maps with a lot of reference pics.
Kind of makes it creepy a bit playing that level again actually.

I have always been fascinated by places like this.
I would go there for sure if they could prove that the radiation would cause no long or short term effects on me. :P
