UNFORGETTABLE DISCOVERIES ARE WAITING FOR YOU:
.
• TIME TRAVEL
On April 27, 1986, all the people of Pripyat were evacuated in a few hours. They left all their belongings, hoping to return soon. 30 years have passed, but many of their things are still there. Today’s Pripyat looks the same as it was in 1986: signs and slogans of Soviet times hang on the buildings retaining the spirit of that era. Our tour to Chernobyl will be your unforgettable one-day journey to the past.
.
• UNIQUE TECH OBJECTS
- The New Safe Confinement is the world’s largest land-based moving structure and the most complex technological system that reliably protects the entire world from the radioactive masses that lie under the destroyed reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
- The “Chernobyl 2” secret military object and the “DUGA-1” giant radar which was to monitor the launch of American intercontinental ballistic missiles in the times of the USSR. During our tour to Chernobyl you will see the preserved part of the Soviet missile defense system.
.
• THE TERRITORY THAT HAS BEEN ABANDONED BY PEOPLE FOR 30 YEARS
Nature abhors a vacuum. People left the Exclusion Zone in 1986, but hundreds of animal and bird species, including those listed in the Red Book, inhabit this territory now. Here you can see black cranes, eagle owls, elks, dears, wolves, as well as Przewalski’s horses and even bears and lynxes. In 2017, the Chernobyl Biosphere Reserve was established on the territory of the Exclusion Zone.
.
• INEXPRESSIBLE IMPRESSIONS AND EMOTIONS
Our tour to Chernobyl is not an ordinary tourist trip. It will make you feel like a fantastic movie hero, because no other trip can give you such incredible and unusual impressions that will remain with you all the days of your life.
.
• COMPLETE SAFETY
The important thing is that today the whole trip is completely secure as the fourth reactor is safely covered by the New Safe Confinement, and in areas open to the public, the radiation does not exceed 2 µSv (for comparison, cabin crew receives an exposure dose of up to 9 µSv during transatlantic flights).
.
Time and cleaning efforts made the total background radiation in the Zone safe for humans, and the only radiation that can lead to acute radiation sickness remains inside the Chernobyl sarcophagus.
.
During one day spent in the Chernobyl Zone you get the radiation dose that is 160 less than one X-ray fluorography and 3,600 times less than one whole-body computed tomography!
Duration: 9 hours
