The Chernobyl zone is a closed zone in radius of 30 km from Chernobyl station. There are a lot of green parks and lawns, but it's sad to realize that children don't play there any more. Entrance to this zone is possible only with the help of permits, which we receive for our tourists in the Ministry of Nuclear Industry.
In the territory tourists who arrive to Chernobyl examine fire department and the monument to fire men who were engaged in fire extinguishing on 4thblock CHAES. After that tourists will see construction blocks for the burial place of nuclear waste (by the way, they were built by a French building company). After that tourists go to a museum of Chernobyl tragedy and have opportunity to be photographed against background of the 4th reactor on a small distance. The Chernobyl accident happened exactly on this reactor and now it is closed by a sarcophagus.

We know neither his first name, nor when and where he was born and then passed away...
