Emergency services were battling on Tuesday to prevent Ukraine’s largest forest fire since 1992 from spreading towards the abandoned Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said.

Can’t post the RT story here? Why is that? /snicker
It’s still emitting radiation.
I used to work for the company, Bechtel, that is currently constructing an immense concrete sarcophagus that will encase the reactor.
It is being built on tracks, away from the site, and will be rolled over the reactor at the last minute.

You mean “6,000 dead since the Soros-financed Obamunists arrived in Ukraine, don’t you?
Keep licking Oligarch Junta filth boots if you chose, FRiend.

Last I heard, construction had stopped last summer, as the coup government has “more important” things to spend what little money they have left on.

The International Monetary Fund on Wednesday approved a bigger, high-risk bailout for Ukraine, giving Kiev immediate access to $5 billion of $17.5 billion in emergency IMF credit in another bid to keep the embattled country afloat.

Yes, the city is mostly save to walk in winter as the ground is covered with snow, and it is quite safe in summer when you are containing yourself to remains of paved roads and sidewalks which are asphalt or concrete and for some reason not contaminated anymore. Metal structures, remains of vehicles and vegetation are the whole different matter. Metals become a magnet for isotopes and vegetation brings it up from the ground every season. There was especially bad place known as red forrest which might kill a person in hours. This site is only a couple dozen miles from Kiev, it seems like a serious situation.
