I would definitely visit there, never know may come back with a super power from the radiation! :3

People didn't go there for sight-seeing already? I know that there's a bunch of radiation and shit, but it would seem like an interesting thing to do.
Tourist attraction? Like hell it is. You pay a fortune to get your own weapon, hazmat suit and anti-radiation drugs. Then you're dumped in the middle of the Zone and told to fight your way out through zombies and mutated animals. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. anyone?
That, I would pay for!
That, I would pay for!
And thats pretty much what I meant earlier. It's sad.Smagmuck_ said:

Already been there in 2008 and most likely going back next year (and this time we have the green light to stop by GSC's headquarters to meet the team *g*).
And as far as radiation goes, honestly you get much more radiation when you fly by plane than there (as long as you avoid the patches of moss that have higher peaks).
I'm not sure what this "opening to the public" will have as effect however, maybe you will no longuer need approval from the military anymore I guess ? (which is already pretty much transparent as it's handled by the mandatory ukrainian contact)
900+ photos, if you're curious: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildpeaks/collections/72157616378257481/
(and yes, next time, I won't use the fisheye lens as much...)

Working and living can be ten different things... if they go for just some hours a day, they won't eat too much of that crap. I'd bet it's even healthier this way, as they'll be doing extra to keep their health up - the body can deal with the rest, perhaps even better than before overall.Saltyk said:
