Pripyat is not inhabited in a normal way. There are no children or families and there won’t be. Simply because children eat dirt and dirt is radioactive. Saying it is inhabited like you did implies there is normal life happening. It never will be again.

In a stable world yes, but we also wouldn’t have all those news when Russia puts boxes on solar panels instead of nuclear reactors and we don’t need no fly zones and fog machines around wind turbines.

It does, but you might not notice it since you’re exposed to the smell/taste all the time. But go abroad to Europe or some other place that doesn’t use chlorine for drinkwater treatment and you’d be surprised when you get back how noticeable it is.

Was there, several times, all corners. Sorry to tell you, but your tap water smells like chlorine.
