The control room at Chernobyl will open to tourists more than 30 years after the disaster - despite it still having 40,000 times the normal levels of radiation.
Visitors wearing protective suits and masks will be able to look around the Unit 4 control room in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant where the disaster began.
Rare and apocalyptic images reveal the decaying room where in 1986 the plant's staff made a series of fatal errors then lost the battle trying to prevent the disaster.
Aleksandr Novikov, the head deputy of the Chernobyl plant's technical director said: 'Leonid Toptunov who was on duty that night was my friend.

Time for Chernobyl memes. Natural background radiation is around 3 millisievert (mSv) per year. A chest X-ray is 7 mSv or 2 years background radiation.

" 40,000 times the normal levels of radiation."
I'm told it's the equivalent of a chest x-ray.

I was watching a travel documentary...some local tour organization....had a 20-pax bus everyday for a full tour of the grounds. Never did say the price of the tour. Got the impression it’s mostly Brits and Americans.

The Chernobyl HBO series is a great commentary on the dysfunction and corruption of the USSR. It is also a foreshadow of the USA if the Democrats ever take power. A must watch series.

Actually I was thinking the Democratic National Convention next year.

40,000 times safe levels and they wear dust masks?External radiation exposure is one thing, it stops when you move BUT internal radiation stays with you. A lowly alpha emitter internal exposure is a real danger as it does damage for as long as it takes the body to expel it (or it dacays away).
The dust mask is a good idea.
