Yaroslav Yemelianenko, the director of the largest tour
operator in the Chernobyl disaster zone, assured journalists that if tourists
stick to the specified tour, including the reactor control room, they risk
becoming exposed to less than 4 micro-sieverts, which is less than the
radiation exposure on a one-hour transatlantic flight, tourism in the Chernobyl

May, but has been boosted even more by Ukrainian president Volodymyr
Zelensky, who plans to “create a green corridor for tourists” in the area around
