Chernobyl is still in use. It's an active power plant."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

They are still there cleaning up and building the new containment dome. But they stopped producing power years ago.

It's been awhile since I've gone through them, but I seem to remember there being actual pics of her bike, too. I remember there being a lot of controversy on it they were legit or not. I didn't think they were doing tours that far back.
