Jdurg:
I've read through many websites of people who lived in and around the area, or still work in the general area.  It's really odd seeing all the photos.  It is indeed a modern Pompeii as everything in that city, and the few surrounding towns, is exactly as it was on that tragic April day in 1986.  Reading through the story of how it all happened, I can't believe the level of stupidity of the people running the place, then I remembered that it was 1980's USSR and it all made sense.

Ya, but all of those anomalies and mutated animals sure are making it tough for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. to make a living there.

edit: and politically stable too, that is an important consideration i guess...

Sounds like a good place to dump the world's nuke trash.

well, i believe there are some great spots in the US too. but its funny, whoever you ask, they say 'its a great idea, but not in my back yard'  ;)

also, the UK tested nukes in australia in the 50's and we are still smarting from that, since effectively no one asked us. the father of a woman i knew died of radiation related cancer from when he was in the navy.

I can see the irony in it. the state i come from (well, its actually a territory) is one of the biggest suppliers of uranium in the world. we just dont want it back  ;D
