Chernobyl It will be remembered for centuries as the place where the worst nuclear accident in history occurred. However, the Ukrainian city will begin to receive tourist visits from 2011. Specialists seem to be working to establish safe routes for tourists to learn about the explosion that caused the nuclear accident in 1986. We recall that after the disaster, the call exclusion zone (48 km area surrounding the reactor) was evacuated and cordoned off. All visits were prohibited due to radiation hazard.
Right now, about 2,500 employees maintain what remains of the closed nuclear plant and work shifts to minimize waste. possible radiation residues. Despite a government ban, hundreds of evacuees wanted to return to their homes in the area. Currently, several companies have been offering visits to the restricted area for years, but theoretically these visits are illegal and their safety is not guaranteed.
To regulate the situation, experts are preparing safe and informative travel routes for both Ukrainians and foreign tourists. An exact date on when visits will begin is still unknown but is expected to be throughout 2011. The Chernobyl opening to the public It will bring millions of tourists every year, which will allow the damaged area to be rebuilt in no time.

In any case, it is part of our history.
