This is such an amazing video from Elena Filatova and her excursions into the radio-active zone of Pripyat, the town housing the former workers at the Nuclear Power Plant in Chernobyl. Absolutely amazing.

Και να σκεφτεί κανείς πως στις μέρες μας μία τέτοια τραγωδία γίνεται αντικείμενο καπηλείας με διοργανώσεις εκδρομών , ξεναγήσεις κλπ.

We've noticed that people don't have any idea what (or where) we're talking about when we mention that we recently traveled to Chernobyl & Pripyat. Pripyat is a completely modern abandoned city about 2km from Chernobyl, inside of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, in Ukraine. Over 20 years ago (26 April, 1986), there was an accident in one of the nuclear reactors there that became one of the worst technological disasters in history. We got some really fantastic footage of both cities as well as the reactor. When we put the film together, we thought it would be helpful to include some information about what happened. Here's the final product.
This footage of Chernobyl and Pripyat was filmed on August 7, 2007 by Jason Strain. Narration is by Laura Corliss. Music by Brokenkites.

An article i read just a few months ago said that in the town, the background Radiation Levels were near normal. There were only a few spots where it was dangerous. Do you think people will ever live there again? I hope so. If not, the Soviet government needs to make the place into a museum or something..
The radiation levels are considered safe enough for visitors to enter Pripyat, but the town is not considered safe to inhabit. Firstly, the enclosure built to contain the melted Chernobyl reactor is crumbling and requires a long-term replacement. If people returned to Pripyat, and the enclosure collapsed, they might be exposed to highly radioactive dust from the remaining fuel and isotopes. And while background radiation is lower, local soils are contaminated with strontium-90 and caesium-137, which have half-lives of about 30 years. Renewed activity in Pripyat would likely stir up soil into the air, which would be a hazard for humans. There is possible aquifer contamination too. So no–I think it will be a very long time before people inhabit the zone around Chernobyl.
