Is the AZ5 button still intact? I would feel obligated to push it.

Hard pass.
No need to take the tour. Internet pics are just fine for me. |

I actually would like to do that. Going to Pripyat has been on my bucket list for years anyway. I cant think of a place i would rather go than to Pripyat. |

You could not pay me enough to go there. As for Russian submarines. I remember the story of an American admiral who was invited aboard a Russian sub. He was wearing his dosiometer badge at the time. It turns out he got a yearly dose in one hour aboard the Russian sub!

I should get into the "anti-radiation" suit business there. You could make a killing off of suckers who have no idea about radiation vs contamination. Oh yes buy this fancy white suit to keep the radiation away, and for only 50 more dollars get this more better yellow one for more protection!

So who conducts the tour?
Who makes sure you only spend 5 minutes? Who makes sure no one puts their balls on a AZ button? Do they serve snacks? Red Wine? |

"Now is end of tour. All of you will now no longer need night lights, as you will glow from radiation you have absorbed. Enjoy!"

Word is that the women there have mutated labia that can grasp and squeeze like an octopus. Who knew the Japanese could be so ahead of the curve!

Tourist: "But there is 40000 times the normal level of radiation in there!"
Tour guide: "Don't worry comrade, 9 people out of 10 go in and out no problem. Tourist: "What about the tenth person?" Tour guide: "Problem" |

"Anti-radiation suits"
ETA I see that I'm beat, but I still have time to corner the market. Suckas. |

I’m not trusting the Russians about what’s safe and what’s adequate protection.
They probably reuse the helmets and “protective” clothing. |

I doubt any one here could move around in a suit lined with enough lead to be considered a "radiation suit". Most likely they are getting a russian version of anti-contamination clothing and hopefully a HEPA filter full face mask.

Chernobyl is one of those subjects that absolutely fascinates me, but I'd rather indulge that fascination via YouTube and other documentaries. I've already beaten skin and testicular cancer and have no desire for more potential medical issues. View Quote That's fascinating, but I'll settle for looking at pictures |

Probably around 2.5 mrem/hr, roughly. So like a chest xray an hour. They probably have the control room deconned pretty good, the ppe is probably more of a precaution

Relax after the tour in a hot tub heated by spent fuel rods from Fukushima.
