Are residents returning to Pripyat?

There are many people living in the zone. Most returned after being evicted, unable to settle elsewhere, mostly old-timers.

Don Grafon approves.

Fang, Shooter and Ghost!

There is life even in the radiation-poisoned zone, but not in me

Just 3? Surely there are other villages nearby

“So, according to the state registration data, about 300 people currently live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Most of the self-settlers are concentrated in small villages. The largest number of residents is in the city of Chernobyl - 40 people. and others live from two to several dozen self-settlers. In 2013, their total number was more than 300. Thus, the answer to the question "do people live in Pripyat" is unambiguous and quite specific. - Read more on FB.ru: http: / /fb.ru/article/167988/jivut-li-v-pripyati-lyudi-mojno-li-seychas-jit-v-pripyati "

Anyone can write on Wikipedia, don't forget that. I can't imagine how you can live there now. Walking - yes, you can still, I would not mind, but living is too much.

Come on. What kind of UG?

Not surprising, because Chernobyl is now the quietest place in Ukraine: all the mutants fled to other places.

Come on, you have a few kilos of bacteria, don't forget.

I looked at Wikipedia in other languages ​​and it says everywhere that the population is 0.

And what is the decay period of that bullshit that exploded there?

Thousands or even millions of years.

The half-life of strontium-90 is ~ 28.8 years, cesium-137 is ~ 30.2 years. These are the main pollutants. There are also isotopes of plutonium and americium with half-lives up to thousands of years, but very few of them. You can live in Chernobyl now, the background is normal there, in Pripyat the pollution is uneven: somewhere the background is normal or slightly higher, and in some places there are spots where hundreds of microR / h. In the foreseeable (although not very near) future it will probably be possible to live there, but there is no point in returning: the buildings are in disrepair, the city needs to be rebuilt, but this is not required, because it was a city for the station workers, and now they live in Slavutich. Better to leave the area as a nature reserve.
