KIEV, Ukraine -- Want a better understanding of the world's worst nuclear disaster? Come tour the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Beginning next year, Ukraine plans to open up the sealed zone around the Chernobyl reactor to visitors who wish to learn more about the tragedy that occurred nearly a quarter of a century ago, the Emergency Situations Ministry said Monday.
Chernobyl's reactor No. 4 exploded on April 26, 1986, spewing radiation over a large swath of northern Europe. Hundreds of thousands of people were resettled from areas contaminated with radiation fallout in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Related health problems still persist.

“Guess where we’re going this summer, hon...”
Seems like a good thing to me.
“Let’s see, Rwanda or Chernobyl.....Rwanda or Chernobyl.”
Honey, should we take the kids to Disney next summer or Chernobyl?
I guess they will be offering a “glow in the dark” night tour...
I can’t wait to buy a chocolate-covered Elephant’s Foot in the gift shop.
I’ll be on that trip right after my island vacation to beautiful Bikini Atoll. There is nothing like and authentic microwave Luau while watching the glowing three headed fish swimming by.
“All the vacations to Haiti were booked? OK, let’s do Chernobyl.”
They need the tourist dollars.
But what about the snorks?

Can I nominate NObama & Moooooochelle for the ribbon cutting?
Lol. I haven’t seen much of her since she was debunked.
Well, the little boy with three heads and eight legs should be almost 24 years old now. It would be fun to take the whole family to his sideshow.;-)

IMHO, the REAL reason for this AP article is to spin “very bad vibes” about nuclear energy, in general. The left wants all kinds of reasons to continue to not have nuclear energy expand its presence, throughout the U.S., forever, and, despite all of the pluses that expanding nuclear energy would really have throughout the entire U.S., the left will, forever, keep practicing, “Hell No!”, to nuclear energy expansion, throughout the U.S. Jeez, there are many socialist countries that continue to produce nuclear energy for themselves, but not in the U.S. Thank You, leftists-not!
