The State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management is designing the 21 new tourist routes to feed the growing interest.

One of the new routes will put tourists inside the control room where the disaster began.

The control room is in Unit 4 where the nuclear reactor exploded. The radiation in the room currently exceeds normal readings by 40,000 times.

Tourists will be given face masks, anti-radiation suits and large industrial boots before being allowed to visit the room.

They will be able to observe the room only for five minutes because of the deadly radiation.

Book early.....

3. Has anyone seen the mini-series "Chernobyl"?

It was truly horrifying. There were some real heroes then, and some people who didn't realize what the dangers were and paid the ultimate price.

Anyone thinking of going there should watch that first and then think again.

RIP to all the poor souls who died as a result of the accident.

4. That tour guide has the worst job.

Must wait outside, but the tourists have to be tracking out radioactive dust. Then there’s the even worse off person who has to collect and probably prepare the protective gear for the next person.

Even disposing of it would be risky.

I don’t care so much about the idiots who go on the tour but their thrills are putting others at risk.
