If I had a heavy rad suit I'd love to prance around there.

Lead-lined PVC suits are awesome.

[dazoldham]

You don't need one!!

[Tabby266]

How long were you allowed to stay?

[dazoldham]

We were there for a full day - it was part of a guided trip

[Stahlfraust]

wasn't it reactor 4 that blew up?

[nickspic]

[RandomDominoGuy]

@Stahlfraust yes

[HWGuyEG]

@spiderlily21

I guess I'll have to a more hazardous place to prance around.

[spiderlily21]

@HWGuyEG Oh its prefectly safe now

@connectico Snow can't be radioactive, the heat of radioactivity would probably melt the snow.

[connectico]

Why the hell would you go there to chernobyl, its a ghost city so there's nothing to see its i geuss kinda boring,

P.S.

Is the snow radioactive there??

@dazoldham So how far where you from the 4th reactor, the one that blew up??

Because i thougth you had to have anti rad suits to go anywhere near Chernobyl

[hchamp10]

@Stahlfraust yes

[marshalljimduncan]

I want to go there

@protector1990 ah right i forgot about the mishap with reactor 2 but 1 and 3 are potentially operatable if the ukrainian govt decides 2 restart them

[protector1990]

@killman369547 I think reactor number 2 is not operational, I've read something about reactor number 2 broke down beyond repair in something like 1992 and it was shut down permanently. I don't know about reactor 1...
