Individual Trip to Chernobyl Zone
The Exclusion Zone is the territory that will make you feel the whole magnitude of the accident that transformed the history of human civilization. This is the place where you will embrace the might and wisdom of nature that got rid of people who used to live within its borders. After catching sight of Chernobyl at least one time all of us begin to perceive everyday life far otherwise. For some of us, it can be the main crux of the matter.
There are some spots in this Zone that are still contaminated with radiation but tour circuits mapped by our stalkers don’t have radiation hazards provided that you will hard-and-fast comply with our guides’ requirements. Nowadays an approximate dose of radiation exposure that you may receive is almost equal to a dose obtained during a one-hour flight on an airplane. Today's radiation level in Chernobyl is comparable to those in Kiev, Odessa, Poltava, and other regions of Ukraine.
Outstanding Benchmarks
Let’s review several prominent landmarks that we recommend seeing during your trip to Chernobyl and Pripyat:
-
The Red Forest. The west part of the first most powerful radioactive discharge brought about by the explosion of the 4th power generation plant.
City monument sign “Pripyat” at the entrance to this town.
-
Town Pripyat that was abandoned by its inhabitants more than a quarter of a century ago. Please note that visiting buildings inside is prohibited out of safety concerns.
-
Both decrepit school and kindergarten.
-
Abandoned Ferris wheel.
-
Pripyat’s swimming pool.
-
Stadium.
-
Foundered jetty.
-
Cinema “Prometheus”.
-
Police station with a detention facility.
-
Building of Pripyat's council that was used as the first emergency reception center.
-
Hospital that received the first aggrieved persons who were injured during this accident and its liquidation.
-
Observation point of helicopter operations that was located at a Hotel “Polissya”.
-
Chernobyl nuclear power plant that includes a monument near the administration facility and the arch-shaped confinement.
Monument “To Those Who Saved The World”.
-
Covert facilities, which are now known as huge antenna “Duga — 1” and secret deployment Chernobyl — 2 that maintained the operability of antennas meant for over-the-horizon surveillance for the launching of ballistic rockets.
With a mind to better understanding and feeling of those peculiarities that bred the Exclusion Zone we highly recommend you to order an individual dosimeter-radiometer “Terra P”. It will constantly keep you informed regarding the radiation level intensity within the surroundings where you are located at this moment. Also after your trip, you will have an opportunity to measure the precise volume of radiation absorbed. This is a necessity in Chernobyl and Pripyat.
