Chernobyl is now safe to visit, with very low radiation levels similar to those on a trans-Atlantic flight, but it is subject to very strict regulations. It is only possible to visit the Exclusion Zone with an official Chernobyl guide.

Can you walk around Chernobyl now?

Yes. The site has been open to the public since 2011, when authorities deemed it safe to visit. While there are Covid-related restrictions in Ukraine, the Chernobyl site is open as a “cultural venue”, subject to extra safety measures.

What happens if you walk through Chernobyl?

A lethal dose of radiation is in the vicinity of three to five sieverts in an hour. During a Chernobyl tour the levels of exposure can range from 130 to 2,610 microsieverts per hour – that's 0.00261 of one whole sievert (i.e. at least 1000 times less than the potentially lethal level).

Is Chernobyl accessible today?

Visitors are now permitted to enter the control room of Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Some of the decisions made in that room contributed to the worst nuclear accident the world has ever seen.

Is Chernobyl still open?

Although no longer a working power station, Chernobyl was never fully abandoned and still requires constant management. Spent nuclear fuel is cooled at the site.

Can you go inside reactor 4?

However, you can get quite close to the strcture and for those who go inside the power plant, you can actually go ins… There is some kind of Observation Desk where you can from very close admire Reactor nr 4 in Chernobyl Zone. Suggest edits to improve what we show.

Is reactor 4 still burning?

Chernobyl reactor 4 is no longer burning. The reactor was originally covered after the disaster, but it resulted in a leak of nuclear waste and needed to be replaced. The systems for a new cover for the reactor were being tested in 2020 and is sometimes referred to as a "sarcophagus."

Is Hiroshima still radioactive?

Is there still radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The radiation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today is on a par with the extremely low levels of background radiation (natural radioactivity) present anywhere on Earth. It has no effect on human bodies.

Who lives in Chernobyl today?

Today, just over 100 people remain. Once these remaining returnees pass away, no one else will be allowed to move into the exclusion zone due to the dangerous levels of radiation that still exist. Although the areas in the exclusion zone are still deemed inhabitable, many areas bordering the zone are safe to live in.
