i never understood nuclear/atomic tourism. it seems absurd and moronic to me and i just don't get why you'd voluntarily try your luck like that. idgaf if the disaster site is no longer considered "dangerous" bc you know what doesn't care either? cancer.
Yeah you have no idea if you’d end up with cancer years later. I’d love to visit Pripyat but there’s no way I’d go there without knowing it was safe which it most likely is not.
Tourism there is heavily regulated. Other cores that didn't explode were still operated for decades after the disaster. A massive construction project was carried out to build the new sarcophagus.
It's not like you'd be staying in the exclusion zone, you'd go through a checkpoint and drive through it to have a look at the places. The checkpoint is there to make sure that people don't try to go where they shouldn't.

Chernobyl was on my list of tourist sites but definitely not after watching this.
