Maybe it would be worth to bump this one as trip is going to happen :-) starting at 8.10 finishing at 13.10 . Main attractions include visiting nuclear silos and of course 2 days in Zone + crazy night at Kiev (Ric is not going to miss this hopefully haha) and ak47 shooting weeee :-D

For anyone thinking about this you can pay the deposit now and still have plenty of time to get things arranged. Ric will be able to sort the trip payments out for you i'm sure, all you need to do is arrange the flights and bring a little spending money. This could be one of the last chances to see the reactor in it's current sarcoughagus and restrictions are getting tighter as the buildings deteriorate.

I don't know a single other person going so don't let that worry you, get it sorted and experience something really unique.

 

If you want to discuss Supra safe boost levels, tyres and glass headlights then I am sure that could be incorporated into the trip over ;)

Quite interested in this, especially the part that mentioned 20-30p a beer :D . Will speak to a mate tomorrow and see if he wants to join as he would probably like to go there ...

 

Need to see if I can swap my holidays about at work as well :innocent:

Ok well the deposit cut off date is the 12th of sept, anything after that i would need full payments right away.

 

The beer was corona too ;)

 

Cheers

If they start replacing the sarcophagus over the reactor next year like they planned, this maybe the last chance to see the Zone for the next 10 years which by then I'm sure it will have decayed even more.

 

But we will see next year if they start it or not

Do you wear suits or any protective wear on the visits ? did some reasearch looks like its leaking hence the repairs or new sarcophagus to be honest they have not heard of the word heath and saftey I would be worried about being exposed to radiation

 

No, normal clothing is fine, the areas are not as dangerous as people think,

 

the radiation level in London for example is around 1uSV, most areas of Pripyat is around 3uSV which is hardly any higher with around 7 at the reactor (around 100mSV would be harmfull (100,000uSV))

 

2 days in the zone is around the same amount of radiation your body would receive on 2 transatlantic flights.
