First time out of the vault
I went and toured Chernobyl for 2 days last week! Still sorting through the pics (2700+ and 30 odd gigs), but here are some of the highlights:

First time out of the vault
well those are some good looking shoots.
Did you have to fight of a lot of zombies?

Most of these pictures are what I thought, expected the place would be but... damn those 3 pictures with living colours in them just make my blood run cold (The red recliner, the thing in front of the green wall and the doll's head.)
Desolation can be bearable alone but he traces of humanity make it just too strong....
Very good pictures btw.

Apparently at some point after the accident there was a family living in this room. Wow.DoktorVivi said:
i have seen few documentaries on chernobyl, focused on the CURRENT situation.
Most of the city is covered in woods.
And there was a old man and old a woman living there sometime ago. They left during the incident, and soon came back there. They keep farming their patch, and seemed to still be alive after being exposed to radiation for years.
Oh and anything thats metal gives insane radiation counts, like old school desks.
So i wasnt really emotinally touched by the pictures as youd expect because i have already been exposed to the sights.
But i still get creeped out by those colours. They seem almost unnatural.

well the fun thing is that one can even enter the reactor chamber without to much harm if he doesnt spend hours down there. Scientists from Kiev and Germany have visited that area, even though when from "official" Soviet repots there should be in the ractor room still aprox. 95% of all the radioactive material around. A few scientists though believe that its the other way around, and what you have in the reactor is eventualy 5% while the rest has been dispersed around europe ... which seems more likely to me.

Mildly Dipped
You are correct Crni. IIRC, Chernobyl's reactor not only underwent a meltdown...the terrible heat caused a steam explosion that carried lots of radioactive debris to the atmosphere.
Its odd that those old people can live there...maybe hormesis protected them?

cool pics
gasmasks, teddybears,...
remember that over half the things you see are staged...Ozrat said:

Well from what a friend told me and I somewhat give his oppinion a value since hes working as engineer in a nuclear plant here in Germany that in Chernobyle you have areas that technicaly are now save for repopulation. But the question is, tell me who would be that crazy? Even if it would have 100% save areas I doubt some family with children would consider the place a nice home today. And much of the radiation also is in the ground and plants now so it could be in some areas extremly dangerous to rest in the grass, since rain and erosion washed much of the radiation of which went in the ground and now the isiotopes (or what ever) are absorbed by the trees and plants which then get eaten by the animals and as well absorb parts of the radiation. Well I guess that means no hunting in Chernobyle. But strange enough, quite a few scientists told that for the nature the accident was probably the best ever could happen. Since for the last 20 years or so no human has touched this large area again a big variety of very rare animals and plants have colonized the area.SkynetV4 said:
More exterior pics, plz. The teddy/toy/gasmask scenographies aren't very interesting...
REICH.
You blew up my village!

I personally didn't touch anything there, but some of it looked pretty staged.. the gas mask + doll head on the window in particular.
Also, no zombies, but there were a lot of cats
Anyway, more shots. These are from some greenhouses in Pripyat:
