for anyone interesting in the pretty fascinating story of how the threat posed by the abandoned chernobyl plant is being ignored, i recommend the documentary 'chernobyl 4 ever'[1]. it even features parts of the stalker videogame :)

Even thought it's dated, "Inside Chernobyl's Sarcophagus" is still excellent in the former regard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otFQcmE3G5s

Thank you for linking this. Watching Soviet scientists scramble over a jumble of fuel rods, concrete and graphite blocks in their desperate attempt to figure out where all the fuel had disappeared to is both fascinating and deeply scary. As one person in the video says, it's a job they had to do, no matter the cost.

There's a film maker who went straight in without protection 'Chernobyl The Lost Film': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkjAAzkrXSA

Then again, so did many other people there as you can see.
