Chernobyl, the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster which resulted in thousands of deaths, is to become an official tourist attraction, Ukraine's president has announced.
Once at the centre of a 1,000-square-mile exclusion zone, Chernobyl has seen a sharp rise in visitors since an HBO mini-series about the tragedy aired earlier this year. And according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, it is now time for a different narrative surrounding the site.
"We must give this territory of Ukraine a new life," Zelensky said as he signed a decree on Wednesday. "Until now, Chernobyl was a negative part of Ukraine's brand. It's time to change it."

Will they have a cafeteria with a Glow In The Dark Menu?
Bolshoi Cbet Menyu, or Big Light Menu.

You can save electricity by not turning-on the bathroom lights.

The University of Chicago couldn’t put the Regenstein Library at the first proposed site because of residual radiation from the low level atomic experiments taking places under the stands at Stagg Field, which is still measurable even today (the Fermi monument stands on the site). I can’t believe the Chernobyl site is cleaner than that.

I’d go...smart move on Ukraine’s part. It could help defer the cost of cleaning up the reactor plant.
