It's really not that expensive

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Why the fuck would you willingly want to go to Chernobyl? There is nothing there and I imagine the midges would drive you nuts.
I could have got you a tour of the decommissioned plant at Fawley if you were interested. Probably much the same less the radiation.
And isn't Chernobyl still inside a country that is actively in the state of civil war?

Why willingly go to Chernobyl? Why the fuck not?? Its not all Ibiza and Butlins
Winning lottery to go there?
Mate - just do a little research and go there - east Europe is easily accessible and (if you're british) not expensive to travel around.
Wanted to comment on "war" too but ...
Because it's fascinating! I live in the UAE so can go to a 5-star hotel and sit on the beach any day I want. It's dull.
The Ukrainian currency is quite low at the moment, so a visit to Kiev is very cheap at the moment, and Chernobyl is just up the road.
In terms of safety they give you a Geiger counter so you can what dose you're getting- it's about the same as a long-haul flight as long as you don't wander off.
Chernobyl, and Pripyat in particular, is a powerful reminder of nature. The trees don't care about the radiation, and the whole place is a forest with buildings dotted through it. And it's one of very few examples of somewhere humans once inhabited in large numbers and then all just left.
It's the perfect time to go at the moment too- the new safe confinement "arch" is almost complete so the old sarcophagus won't be visible for much longer, and the old (and HUGE) ICBM-tracking radar station down the road is to be dismantled over the next couple of years.
As for the Ferris wheel, it did run briefly for a few days before the accident, but the official opening was due a couple of days after the evacuation, so it was never "officially" open.
I remember the accident like it was yesterday, I'm guessing a lot of others do too. Must be weird seeing the whole deserted, and now over grown city like that.
Must be really eerie. Isn't the hospital, and possibly other buildings, reportedly haunted?
