Awesome. Would love to go on a proper tour of the area, as long as I don't come back glowing.

They already have tours I've read about, it's like 400 USD and you just have to time it right because they do 1 per month Posted via RS Mobile | |

theres a whole lot of uncertainty surrounding the actual safeness of visiting the immediate vicinity of the chernobyl plant. Most tours that have existed up until now never went into the actual plant. They were relegated to outdoor perimetre tours along with viewing the town. Some experts say the "sarcophagus" that was built to envelope the huge hole created above the reactor has been experiencing an expansive rate of decay and will need to be replaced in the next few years.
Whats amazing is how the whole area has been almosr fully reclaimed by nature.

Meh should be fine as long as you carry a Geiger counter with you at all times. Would be sorta interesting. I bet the economy of the local area could get a boost from this. Can't imagine the economy to be in a good state at the moment...

Before going on the trip, fully test your Geiger Counter to make sure it ISN'T beeping out of control in a non-radiation zone first.

It can't be THAT bad...
The Chernobyl power plant was active until December 2000. Which means people worked there for years after the disaster.
