KIEV, April 22 (Xinhua) -- Chernobyl, a place replete with horrific memories in northern Ukraine, close to Belarus, is now open to tourists, almost 30 years to the date after a nuclear power plant there exploded. It was the worst nuclear accident in human history.
A large tract of land around the plant was designated a forbidden zone and ordinary people were completely prohibited from entering after the disaster occurred on April 26, 1986. The accident released more than 8 tons of radioactive leaks, directly contaminated an area of over 60,000 square kilometers and exposed some 3.2 million people to dangerous levels of radiation.
But, today, 30 years after the catastrophe, ordinary people in Ukraine are allowed to enter some parts of the zone under certain conditions through tour companies for a one-day tour.
Despite that, authorities strictly restrict the number of tourists in the zone and require tour agencies to submit lists of tourists very day. A Xinhua correspondent saw merely 20 or 30 tourists in the zone on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, visitors participating in such tours have to sign a special agreement, promising not to take away anything from the zone, to strictly follow the instructions of the tour guides, and to only take photos in designated areas.
Also, tourists are required to wear long clothes to minimize the exposure of their skin, and they are not allowed to wear sandals or bare their feet because the soil in the zone is seriously contaminated.
A tour guide who called himself Andrew said that this was an adventure tour program, but tourists would be very disappointed if they thought they would chance upon some rare monsters born there after the radioactive disaster.
However, Andrew said that the number of applications to visit the zone has been rising since the beginning of 2015. Recently it has been very hard to get a ticket as the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is approaching.
The Xinhua correspondent saw a large tract of forest around the ruined nuclear power plant, and some wild horses and deer. Andrew said that those animals had been there before the nuclear accident happened.
As for the forest, Andrew said that there are also a lot of forests in other places in Ukraine and that the forest area in the country has not been reduced by the disaster.
Nuclear radiation is known to kill animals and human beings in a very short time, and many abnormal newborns of human beings and animals in the disaster area have been reported.
But Andrew denied some media reports that there were mass propagations of animals or rampages of monsters in the forbidden zone.
Tourists can use bread crumbs to feed fish from an iron bridge in the zone. Although fishing is banned in the zone, feeding fish is allowed as part of the tour program to entertain tourists.
Pripyat, a city near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, was built for the plant's workers and opened in 1970 after the nuclear power plant was put into operation.
Now, the former energy city has become a "ghost town," with trees and grass growing wildly everywhere, even inside the ruined shops, cultural center, restaurants and hotels.
In the center of the city, a rusty ferris wheel still stands in a cultural park. A football stadium, beside the park, has turned into woods, with wooden chairs rotting on the stands. In a school, dusty and shabby desks and stools were everywhere, and textbooks, stationery and glass shards were scattered on the ground.
Some members of rescue teams had stayed in the city during the first ten years after the accident took place. They worked to contain the pollution and clean the contaminated soil.
On a square in front of the No. 4 reactor of the plant stands a sculpture, reminding people to pay close attention to the peaceful use of nuclear energy as well as its safety.
After the horrific events in Chernobyl, researchers in countries around the world have become more vigilant. Now, the security of some 400 nuclear power plants around the world has greatly improved, with safer ones being successively put into operation.

DENVER, the United States, Mar. 1, (Xinhua) -- Newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump was to rewrite the American political playbook by engaging the legal system more than any president in U.S. History, analysts predicted.
Legal experts told Xinhua in recent interviews that by late February about 100 lawsuits on the federal level would have been filed against America's 45th president.
"It's such an irony that Trump uses more legal muscle than any president ever," noted Washington insider and attorney David Richardson.
