Today, the Exclusion zone is a superficial open radioactive source. Within radioactively contaminated territories, a series of works were carried out to prevent the spread of radioactive contamination and radionuclides outside the exclusion zone, to the main reservoirs of Ukraine (Kiev reservoir, the Dnieper river, etc.)

The Ukrainian part of the exclusion zone, and the zone of obligatory resettlement, has an area at ​​about 2598 km2.

This time, the choice fell on one of the most remote villages of the Ukrainian part of the Exclusion Zone, located close to the border with the Republic of Belarus. Great place, like the heart of the geographical location of the Chernobyl’s Zone.

To get there, you should bypass the surrounding villages where all residents are predominantly “narks”.
