Chernobyl At 24

From Deutsche Welle:
"Scars linger as Ukraine marks 24 years since Chernobyl"

Yesterday was the 24th anniversary of Chernobyl and even though so many years have passed it seems the danger from radiation has not. A few years ago when my mom, sister and myself went to Kiev we saw many companies that offered day tours around the Chernobyl site. It seemed really interesting and one of those "exotic tours" that not many people get to do. After much debate we decided not to go. We figured the ability to have children was more important than visiting a Soviet wasteland. New reports have since said the danger from radiation is still there (even in the housing complexes) and so our decision seems to be the right one. Maybe I will go back when I'm retired.
