Well, here's the next best thing: http://www.kiddofspeed.com/, a picture journal from a crazy Ukrainian biker chick who blasts in, takes snapshots – carefully! – and gets the hell out before she spends too long and gets cooked. It's not that hot there. At least, for a day of photographs and nuclear tourism, it's pretty safe. A quick run through the radiation numbers she discusses indicates that a partial day is safe enough, a week would be noticeable but manageable, but a month starts getting into serious doo-doo. Out around three months' stay and the doo-doo gets even deeper, six feet deep to be precise.
Weird place, reminds me of the worst parts of Katrinaland. Except that people can live in Kartinaland without dying from it. At least not directly.
Hat tip to The Atomic Nerds for posting this recently and reminding me of it. I'd seen the site a long time back, but had dropped it somewhere in my mental slushpile.
