Cool as in radiation

Thanks for clarifying that.


BY waiting 60+ years at least the reactor immediate environment is more
or less safe to operate in.

What about the town near-by? There seems to be a roaring tourist trade
visiting the place, can't be so bad, surely?



Pripyat is in general no more radioactive than Dartmoor.

If they went over it with geigers and bagged up all the hot flakes, it
would be easily inhabitable.



IN a sane world you would simply build a wall round it, fill it up with
concrete and push earth over it and say 'dont go near this for a few
hundred years'

Why "don't go near it"? Why not "enjoy the nature reserve, don't dig anything
up"? :-)
