Well I am just in this area and I decided that I was NOT going to go to the Chernobyl museum, or visit "Pripyat" on a tour.
I saw a rather good documentary about it on TV, and I remember from my childhood when it happened.
That's enough - I don't want to gloat in it, and I think what happened was extremely tragic.
Apparently there is a higher rate of some cancers in this part of Belarus and lots of people lost their homes.
