Tours for the Whole Family! So relevant to Reid's story:
Chernobyl tour - visit the site of the worst environmental disaster in history.
(Ecological / extreme tourism)
8:00 Depart Kyiv. Two-hour ride northwards to the border of the "exclusion zone". The area is 214 km in perimeter.
10:00 - 13:00 Pass the checkpoint "Dytyatky" and enter the "exclusion zone". Visit to the site of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant - an enterprise once employed more than 5000 staff. Observe object "Sarcophagus"- concrete-and-steel shelter covering radioactive masses and debris left after the explosion. Experience the peace and quiet of the ghost-town Prypyat - all 47.500 inhabitants had to abandon their homes the next day after the accident. Explore the deserted apartment blocks, schools, hotels, kinder gardens.
13:00 - 13:30 Lunch (the quality of food is guaranteed).
13:30 - 14:00 A briefing conducted by a specialist of the governmental agency "Chernobylinterinform". Get answers to your questions about the accident, current ecological situation and the future of the exclusion zone.
14:00 - 16:00 Visit to the site of contaminated vehicles. Thousands of tracks, helicopters, armoured personnel vehicles are so soaked with radiation that it is dangerous to approach. Visiting Opachichi and Kupovate villages. Meet the self-settlers, elderly people living in the exclusion zone.
16:00 Leave the exclusion zone
18:00 Arrive Kyiv

No link, but try this:
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the ground and make small clockwise circles with it. Now take your right hand and draw a 6 in the air. Pay attention to what happens to your foot.
