Fascinating, but no place I would want to visit.

I agree...very interesting but, I'm not going.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

It reminds me of Call of Duty 4 in the single player mode.

- On entering and leaving the 30 kilometers zone each participant undergo radioactivity control using Western equipment.
- Although the tour is 100% safe a strict comprehension of a guide's instructions is required in order to avoid unnecessarily exposing to the radioactivity.
- Photo and video during the tour are permitted (exept check points and places specified by a guide).
