That is full of radiation and will be full of it for thousands of years.

There's tours. I couldn't imagine being on one with Geiger counters constantly making noise.

My favorite episode of that monster fish show is where the dude goes and catches a radioactive catfish pretty damn close to the reactor.

They do illegal wildlife tours over there that would be pretty awesome. It's all very pretty, but still dangerous AF and you have to constantly be monitoring your exposure.

I recommend watching the Chernobyl mini series, if you can find it. HBO?

I know a couple of guys that were raised in the Ukraine, aboot 100 miles from there. They say it never made the news at their houses, and that they did not know of the meltdown for years.

That makes me think the Ukraine is weak.

That's fascinating to see.

It puts into perspective how ancient cities in non-desert climates become lost in the forest or jungles. This is just 30-something year's worth of nature. Imagine a few hundred.

This is cool though. It’s amazing how nature heals much more rapidly than people think

Some places have The in front, some don't. The United States, The Netherlands, The Philippines, The Bahamas, etc. I was not The Originator.
