A Trip to Chernobyl
Do you remember when the tragedy begins? At April 26, 1986, an explosion at reactor No. 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear plant exploded the roof open and sent a cloud of radioactive particles in the air. In recent years, companies began operating Chernobyl tour. Full-day trips depart Kiev at about 9, and these must be booked in advance. If the name is not on the list, or do not have your passport, security guards at the edge of the protection zone does not give you as two people, we found the cost of the bus and had to get off the bus. A disaster at Chernobyl, and lived in 14 000 people today, a few hundred people still live in the protection zone and a number of people working in the city for up to 4 days a week. Tour started in Chernobyl, Ukraine for a traditional lunch. The first stage is the fire station, where their is a memory of a brave firefighter who struggled to contain the radiation, many of whom had died of radiation sickness.
The next stop is the Chernobyl plant, where you can get the first sight of abandoned buildings. The last stop is the ghost town of Pripyat, which is less than 2 km from the power plant. At that time, the disaster was greater than that of the city of Chernobyl, with a population of about 50,000, however, the authorities evacuated the population in a short time and is a disturbing place to visit. The books are all over the halls, amusement park, which will open on 1 May 1986, is slowly rusting away, and nature has begun to Reclaim the Streets, the city square and the buildings.
The tour leaves Pripyat and returns to the edge of the exclusion zone, where all must go through a scanner to ensure that they have not been exposed to large amounts of radiation.
