Chapter V commencing on page 77 is an interesting read IMO.

Health effects not that great appears to be the conclusion thus far.

No one else found this story compelling
enough to post a note?

This is a transfer from the PBB.
I thought this story needed a wider audience.
It is a sort of web-documentary.

But more powerful than alot of what you see on TV these days.
Impressive writing, which is more touching for the occasional
mis-spellings, and wrong words.

This lady is keen to communicate

Powerful stuff. Impressed with what she's put together.
With my connection (or hers), some pictures were too slow to wait for, but it is worth clicking 'next page' every time and reading the whole journal in sequence.

Read Elena's story,
it is strange and moving, as she travels thru the Dead Zone
and into the Ghosttown

This account, which I stumbled across on the web,
suggests that the devastation from Chernobyl may be worse than reported.
Be careful if you travel to the area.

A GHOSTTOWN is the Legacy
From the article:
"In theory radiation will stay in Chernobil area for the next 48.000 years, but in reality first people must start to populate those area already in some 300- 900 years."

A RUSSIAN's OWN ACCOUNT: TRAVELS IN THE DEAD ZONE

SHORT INTRODUCTION
My name is Elena, I run this site and I don't sell anything in here and to tell the true, I don't have anything to sell. What I do have is my bike and this absolute freedom to ride it wherever curiosity and speed demon take me to. This pages maintained by author and with internet traffic site may be down sometimes



BIKING
Motorcycling is a great hobby of mine. I ride all my life and I owned different bikes and I ended with big kawasaki ninja. This motorbike has matured 147 horse powers, some serious bark, it is that fast like a bullet and comfortable for a long trips. I travel a lot and my favorite destination lead through so called Chernobyl "dead zone" It is 130kms from my home. Why favourite? because one can ride there for hours and not meet any single car and not to see any single soul. People left and nature is blooming, there are beautiful places, woods, lakes. Roads haven't been built or repaired since 80th but in places where they haven't been ridden by trucks or army technics, they stay in the same condition as 20 years ago. Time do not ruin roads.

to begin, we got to learn a little something about radiation, it is simple. Device that we use for measuring level of radiation called dosimeter and if you will turn it on in Kiev, it will show 12-16 microroengen per hour, in cities of Russia, America or Europe normally it will be 10-12 microroengen per hour. 1.000 of microroengen make one milliroengen and 1.000 milliroengen make 1 roengen. To die quietly human need to acquire a tan of 500 roentgen within 5 hours. This sort of radiation can not be found this days in Chernobyl. In first days after explosion, in some places around reactor it was 3.000 roengen per hour and people who were throwen to put down that fire have been dying on the spot. Now everything is much better, they put a big sarcophagus on that thing and we can travel there with no danger for health.
