Trip to Chernobyl and Pripyat - April 2009 (Part 2)

[NATEDOGG175]

No recomendaria tocar muchas cosas de ese sitio ni comer en algun restaurante de ahi...

Eres el primer español que va, ¿verdad? Bueno.. o francés, no lo tengo claro jaja.

¿Se necesita llevar un traje especial? Sé hay que llevar un Contador Geiger, aunque el guía ya lleve uno. Además, ¿la radioactividad sobre que niveles estamos hablando, por la calles me refiero? ¿1 µSv/h más o menos?

[bakura10]

@xjsbjsbx Soy frances. No se necesita un traje especial, puedes tomar uno si quieres. Lo que hice fue tirar la ropa despues de la visita. En Pripyat la radioactividad no era muy alta, entre 0.3 y 1.5 µSv/h. Por supuesto hay picos en la ciudad.

[OpsTheories]

@bakura10 how much is it for a flight?

[Maks13chaos]

A ce que j'ai pu remarquer , c'est une video d'orgine française j'aimerais avoir vos impressions... merci d'avance

[bakura10]

@Maks13chaos Effectivement je suis français :). Je vous réponds par message privé.

I have visited the Trinity Site in New Mexico where the worlds first atomic bomb was detonated 65 years ago--but I dont think I want to go snooping around Pripyat kicking up dust. I have seen videos where Geiger counters go nuts in certain areas--especially around the destroyed reactor.

[schaab89kuki]

my inglish is bad, i aswer, can you rent a radiation suit in the tour?

[bakura10]

@schaab89kuki No, tienes que traer la tuya. Pero honestamente, no es una necesidad.

[bakura10]

@schaab89kuki No, tienes que traer la tuya. Pero honestamente, no es una necesidad.

[pandemicrazor]

@schaab89kuki umm i dont think soo but its safe enough because experst usualy come with you on the tour i assume

[marykiev]

@pandemicrazor i live in ukraine and all i can say is there are very little experts there. these 'guides' are mostly stalkers and people who just want to earn money by endangering other peoples' lives :(

[bakura10]

@marykiev By the way, there are a lot of workers in the zone (I've seen them).

[pandemicrazor]

@marykiev yeah but the people want to go there just for an experience like for example sky diving. any ways one microsivert an hour wont kill you as long you stay in that range no longetr then a day

[theepartee]

OMG! 1R/h alone on vegetation outside(?!!!) , and you are all walking in an enclosed environment with unknown readings inside the friggen buildings.. kicking up dust. Jessus!! bare hands too and no protective clothing... Brilliant!!! Can you say lung cancer and leukemia!!

[bakura10]

@theepartee It was more like 0.3-1.5 µSv/h than 1R/h =)...

[1953dan]

I think the most haunting part of your video was the part with all those gas masks on the floor. A chilling reminder of their attempt at trying to save lives.

[toonman81]

woah thats awesome! i heard its really depressing there

[bakura10]

@kanal3 That's true, although our guide was lax on this subject.

Personnally, I've thrown away all my clothes, but some people did not do that.

[toonman81]

hmm... wouldnt the clothing be declared toxic? you know from the radiation? didnt you have to throw them away at a nuclear plant or something?

[bakura10]

@kanal3 There is more risk than going to Disneyland. But, to be honest, we stayed only a few hours, and I doubt there was any risk.

[ranton1990]

i dont believe that there will be a new city... the radiation will last for about 2500 years! i hope theyll keep it as a museum

[barracuda546]

@ranton1990 Experts say you can farm there in 200 years so yeah

[mareko2535]

And with whom the orders leave?? bakura 10??

[bakura10]

What ?

[watchguy95]

wait pripyat is open to the puplic? thats awsome!!!! i love that kind of stuff!!!

how much did it cost to getr in??

p.s. great vid

[bakura10]

It's open to the public since 2000 or something like that.

The price depends. If you want to be absolutely alone with your guide, it costs around 400$. But we preferred to be in a group (we were around 40, and then divided into three groups in Pripyat), so the price is only 70$.

With the strong euro over dollar, it's nothing, really.

[tinytoes409]

The piano is now a Harp!!! Not all bad, I guess?

[mescal31]

loved the coca cola cup story.

[bakura10]

Ahaha... It was really interesting, yeah ;). I was 1 year old when the Soviet Union was dissolved, quite fun when you hear the coca cola cup story, it sounded... incredible to me ;).

[ACIDTOTAL]

rofl where u read that?

[bakura10]

Where did you read that they plan to build a new city here ? I think that Pripyat and Chernobyl nuclear plant will, later, stay here as a "museum". And  they want to protect the city too...

[MyWoWadventures]

holy cow those are all gasmaks at 36 wow

[InfantIncinerator84]

I got to go there.

[bakura10]

Hope you will go one day ;).
