What Chernobyl Looks Like In 2010

An anonymous reader writes "The editor of Phoronix.com has toured Chernobyl's Zone of Alienation (the 30km zone surrounding the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant) to see what the area looks like 24 years after the world's largest nuclear disaster. Many photographs from Chernobyl in 2010 have now been published, showing off the power plant and its RBMK reactors, the town of Pripyat, the town of Chernobyl, and the Red Forest. The 24th anniversary of this deadly nuclear disaster will be on April 26."

    Just as Chernobyl nature has taken back the surrounds of Pripryat, the Chernobyl stories take on mythical proportion.

    Can I ask you a question?

    Listen, just between you and me, did you happen to find any glowing artifacts? I pay top dollar.

    Meet me at the bar 3 klicks south of the downed helicopter. You'll know me by my tattoo and the badly damaged assault rifle I'm carrying.

    I recognize that place.... that's where you take your sniper shot from in CoD4.

    Right! If you can't kill a guy by blowing his entire arm off at the shoulder...

    There's even a mobile phone network there nowadays.

    Aren't they worried about the radiation from the phones?

    Meh, I went there last summer.

    Me too! Almost got killed trying to save my team leader from a bunch of Russian mercenaries while we waited for the chopper evac, but it was still pretty cool.
