  1. ***** You can live 50 metres from the reactor for the rest of your life and never get sick.  It's only the core that is emitting serious doses of EM radiation so don't approach it and you'll be fine, which no one does anyway, they use robots inside there where most of it is still to physically hot for humans still.  The reason that there is over a thousand square kilometres of no-go zones is because everything is covered in a layer of radioactive particles that went up with the heat in 1986 and fell across the region in the following weeks.  They have settled now and won't hurt you unless you inhale or ingest enough of them, so don't go kicking dust up in to the air and don't go around eating berries, lettuces and fish and you will be fine.   There are hundreds of permanent inhabitants who get their supplies from outside.

  2. +Jacob Blackburn There's around 1,500 in the exclusion zone, but not living in Pripyat, in fact the city is too close to the plant you can only visit the immediate vicinity of the plant. The zone covers half of the country of Belarus and that is where many have returned to their rural homes.

  4. +LUCKYJ3SS3 The acting was superb, absolutely top drawer stuff, why no one was nominated for an Oscar was beyond me. In fact I'd say the acting in that superbly acted film was second only to Final Destination 5.
