Now, the number of tourists who want to go the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a radius of 30 kilometers from the contaminated area around the power plant, benefiting some tour companies.
Instability in Eastern Ukraine recently left the country disappear from the search radar of many tourists. However, Chernobyl is still there in the global consciousness. Concerns often circulate about the zone. Lastly, more because of contamination through forest fires.
Concerns were buried deep. By contrast, emerging charm that drain the waves of tourists. In the area there is also a hotel Exclusion Zone. Visitors must pass through security checks and travel guides very tight.
Reporting from the CNN page, travelers heading to the site will pass a two-hour trip to the region north of the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, with the tour bus.
Once there, they must sign a consent for the warning not to touch the goods or vegetation, to agree not sit on the ground.
Leaving the site is also arranged. Body scanning is done to test the high levels of radiation. If the scanner alarm goes off, the officer will examine the individual, looking for radioactive dust that may be carried over, before they are allowed to leave the premises.
Ghost town, a portrait of the old Soviet Union.
Pasture peace in the zone implies a lot of incredible things. The tour guide took the guests the curious heading rusty debris littering the grass. Background radiation around the exclusion zone could reach ten times the normal rate.Slow-growing vegetation, especially vulnerable absorbs radioactive particles, radiation saves even higher when tested. However, the most interesting part Exclusion Zone is the ghost town of Pripyat.
Located two kilometers from the power plant in 1970. The city's population swelled to nearly 50 thousand inhabitants. The whole population was evacuated after the disaster. Now, the city is abandoned and overgrown. Pripyat still resembles a typical picture of Soviet cities were destroyed at that time.
Full visitors stepped carefully through the broken glass, avoid bushes that grow close every corner of the block of apartment buildings. Textbooks scattered in an empty classroom. In the pool were chipped lay rotting wooden beams decades.
Traces of the former Soviet Union scattered everywhere. Soviet mural paintings clearly as dancing on the wall. Gas masks in sizes of children lay with the tens. Relive the era when people fear an attack that hangs thick in the air.
"It is the preservation of artifacts communists, and the atmosphere is very interesting and there is a sad story behind it," says Dominik Ortafus. Ortafus is a former tour guide in the exclusion zone, now becomes CEO CHERNOBYLwel.come, the company arranged a visit to Chernobyl since 2008.
