The Chernobyl nuclear accident was almost 21 1/2 years ago. Here is some videos of Chernobyl and Prypiat today. From Australia's 60 Minutes; www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHgfA1WRdrc&mode=related&search=Prypiat, opened in 1970, this town was built to house the workers of Chernobyl and their families. Evacuated and abandoned in 1986, Prypiat since has been looted, left to nature's mercy, and so radioactive it will be 400-500 years until the area will be inhabitable again; www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8TU1xL8EAg&mode=related&search=I posted this stuff because I find it very fascinating. For a fee you can hire a tour guide from a dozen different travel agencies in Kiev to tour the contaminated zone in Ukraine. You just have to supply your own Geiger Meter.
