Can you tour pripyat and Chernobyl?


i was just wondering...if anyonw knows how please let me know! thanks!

Apart from all the emotions - YES you can. Not by yourself, though: catch and severe punishment (you'll be lucky if you'll go without a jail term, and of course there will be huge fine) are quaranteed cause The Zone is heavily guarded.
There is a company in Kiev, Ukraine that is doing Chernobyl tours. I don't know the name, sorry, but it's pretty easy to google it. You go to several abandoned villages and to some that are inhabited, visit town of Pripyat' and the power station itself. They do not allow being closer than 200 or so metres to the disaster site, nor can you eat/drink/pick anything outside the designated areas.
This trip will cost you: not only some $$ but also lots of emotions. I am from Belarus myself, but Gee I don't wanna go there.

I agree. And thanks. Report It

What's so entertaining about a tragedy? Should I specifically go to the U.S. to snap smiley photos at ground zero?
And the answer to your question is yes, there are dogs that make money off of disasters.

you actually can... I have recently discovered these pics on the internet

The person who took some of these pictures indicated that one needs a guide to get in there.

Chernobyl is still considered to be a dangerous area, so I doubt it very much that you can go there.I heard recently over the radio that the uranium in Chernobyl will not disappear in about a thousand years or so.

As I麓m from a neighbour country north of Russia, I now there is still uranium in our mushrooms and when the disaster happened , the wind did not even blow up north, but south.

If I where you, I would not visit the place.

I'm sure you can tour Chernobyl, but I wouldn't do it. It's really sad and unsafe place. Radioactivity is still there and always will. But if you really want to go there, get some information about iodine tablets. People who gets in contact with radioactivity takes them, it will stop radioactivity to get into your body.
