  1. Chernobyl doesn't look like shown in this video either nowadays because the New Safe Confinement structure was finally transported over it in 2016.

  2. The actual disaster site was inside Shelter Structure (sarcophagus) which was visible in the background while measuring the radiation at Chernobyl area. Nowadays there's additional New Safe Confinement structure around the sarcophagus, too, to reduce radiation levels even more. The radiation inside the sarcophagus is still too high for humans to enter (nearly sure death due the radiation poisoning in a couple of days if you ever visited the inside for longer than 15 minutes). I recommend reading the Wikipedia page about the "Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant sarcophagus" because that old structure was already huge and it had to be built in insane radiation environment. The situation at Fukushima was really bad, too, but the end results are not nearly as bad as at Chernobyl. The Fukushima site haven't needed any additional extra structures to reduce the radiation similar to sarcophagus at Chernobyl.

  3.  @antonvlaskin8496  Yes, "site" is unclear. Some people use it as a synonym for being at the location, e.g. the closest parking lot. Obviously you cannot visit the actual reactor because that would be way too radioactive still.

  4. Considering that one average banana has mass of about 0.2 kg, 20 million bananas would have total mass around 4000 tons or about a hundred big semi trailers fully loaded with bananas, so you would be crushed under the bananas even before you could eat those!

  5. Imagine travelling to all these place only to make this video!
