Large-scale forest fires and increased radiation levels
Forest fires raged in the Chernobyl Zone in April and until mid-May. A large amount of equipment and a lot of firefighters were sent to extinguish them. An increase in the radiation level was observed in the places of the fire, and after a few months the radiation level decreased to normal.
Is visiting Chernobyl safe?
Yes, it is. In general, in the Chernobyl Zone, high levels of radiation are observed only in certain places. Don't worry. Either you won't get to these places at all or you'll be there for a very short time. One day, when the excursion takes place, the human body will receive X-rays at a level corresponding to the approximate dose of 0.0005. Approximately the same amount of gamma radiation can be received on a plane during a three-hour flight. So there is no damage. Even during your flight to Kiev, you will receive more radiation.
What clothes are better to choose for a trip?
There is no need to select special equipment, footwear or protective gear. However, it is recommended that you wear clothes with long sleeves (no slippers, shorts or T-shirts!)
Do I need special protective equipment?
No, nothing is required to visit Chernobyl, Pripyat and the surrounding area. But if you still have any doubts, you can choose a chemical protection suit. Actually, it won’t help you protect against radiation, but it will make your photos more atmospheric.
