Apr 29, 2007 - Chernobyl, Ukraine - A dosimeter shows the current radiation level outside the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. In the background is Fourth Block of the plant, where the Chernobyl accident occurred on April 26, 1986 during an ill-advised late night safety test. After 21 years, the radiation outside the plant remains high enough that stopping here for more than a brief period is not recommended. Nevertheless, this site is one of many which tourists visit during a one-day excursion into the Exclusion Zone. Chernobyl has become one of Ukraine s hottest tourist destinations. The Exclusion Zone with highest Chernobyl contamination covers 819 square miles. In total, radioactive fallout contaminated 56,700 square miles of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, a region home to six million people. - ZUMAmr6_ 20070429_rua_mr6_029
