In 1992 while shooting the  medical documentary on Russian doctors, then 
the Chernobyl Children. I asked if it were possible for me and a guide to go 
to Pripyat? When I asked the person the immediate response was... "You must 
be crazy, do you wish to die a horrible death? No one is allowed as it's 
still so HOT humans are not allowed to enter."

I'm quite surprised they now have guided tourist tours, amazing as I 
wouldn't even think of ever doing that for at least an other 5 or 10,000 
years.
