Not really. There are still piles of old fuel sat there.And pools of liquid that have dissolved radionuclides within. Dunno how you remove and deal with those.
Good old Припять.

No, it would've been far too hazardous.trufax: reactors 1 and 2 were still being used up until 2000.

Yup. Amazing that.I can't believe that they used soldiers as "liquidators" to clean it all up.
I remember when it happened and the farmer opposite my house couldn't sell his lambs die to radioactivity and this was in England!

No one knew what happened. Even the manager refused to believe it. People in Pripyat were even sunbathing.

I don't remember 1986, as I was born two years later. Still, I read as much as I can on the subject.Other than the obvious areas (Ukraine, Belarus, Russia) Ireland was hit pretty bad. It's just bad fortune that it happened to be raining at the time.

You young whippersnapper!I was only six though. It's interesting as I have worked in parts of south western Russia and our H&S people go mad and won't let you touch soil!!
