why though its a nuclear wasteland with no strategic value

It's near the border and it's a big empty space so they thought it would be an easy way in.

there is a story of a family that wouldn't believe it and refused to move.

they have a daughter now, and she is like 18 and fine .

what actually is it? probably nothing. a lot like space .. lol

raditation is odd like that the guys that went on a dive to do something with the reactor were expected to die within a year and some 40 odd years later they are all still alive

Yeah, they said the same thing about Hiroshima. "Nothing will live there for a hundred years." Within a year, bamboo started regrowing. Within a decade, it was a thriving metropolis. Today, it's one of Japan's largest cities. I've been there. It's nice.

trees actually grew the next year. there was no nuke. that is obvious.

pictures of the nuke.. are hilarious as the 'nuke cloud' is literally circled by the plane but never 'moves'

fraud is fraud has been fraud will be until discernment using God is taken on by the majority can help you see thru it more easily

And then people on the other side of the world would die of cancer 50 years later, induced by souvenirs they bought over the internet from people rummaging around in the zone. There was a whole epidemic of it in Western Europe a decade after the accident. They had to take measures to lock down the site tighter to stop scavengers. Different objects hold radiation differently, depending on their own atomic properties.

Who the hell's buying souvenirs from Chernobyl?

Morons? People were buying old Russian dolls and stuff and giving them to their kids. To be fair, back then we didn't really know objects could absorb radiation and hold them for a long time. Not common knowledge anyway.

It has a ton of strategic value. "Radioactive dust" could be used in a dirty bomb by Kiev, or even mercenaries who take advantage of the chaos and smuggle some out to sell on the black market.

Israel destroyed Saddam's nuclear plant in Iraq, before it became operational, largely over those fears.

lots of risk to the people there on the ground
