Part of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is open to tourists. This was reported in the news on the main TV channel of Belarus. Tourists are offered two destinations. Groups of 5 people will be formed.
On April 26, 1986, the fourth power unit exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The total area of radiation pollution in Ukraine amounted to 50 thousand square kilometers. In Belarus - about 46.5 thousand square kilometers. Nineteen Russian regions were also contaminated.
Unusual tour
The first excursions to the Chernobyl zone will not be massive and frequent. While tourists will be allowed into the territory only twice a month. When the directions are worked out, such trips will begin to be carried out more often.
The cost of this unusual trip is about 165 dollars (340 bel. Rubles).

During the tour you can see the "dead" villages. There are no abandoned cities on the tourist route. Ascent to the fire tower, from where the nuclear power plant is visible, is not provided.
Does it harm your health?
Many are wary of such a proposal, because people have the most tragic memories associated with Chernobyl. The word "radiation" still causes shock. The explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was the worst disaster in the history of nuclear energy. However, as the organizers assure, the level of permissible exposure has already been calculated.
According to the deputy director of the Polessky State Radiation and Ecological Reserve, the dose of radiation that a passenger receives from an airplane flight is more than for a one-day stay in the zone.
