Ukraine says it will lift restrictions on tourism in the zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 2011, formally opening the scene of the world's worst nuclear accident to visitors.

A limited number of visitors already are allowed into the 30-kilometer (19-mile) exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which exploded and burned in 1986.

Can't say it's going to top my "must see" list. I've always been fascinated by the Chernobyl disaster and the resulting dead area around the plant. Quite a few shows have gone in and shown what the towns look like today. Very interesting and eery stuff. What never ceases to amaze me is the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers and firefighters who contained the fire and got the core covered. They knew exactly what the threat was and still went forward with their mission.

I wonder if the ghost hunters could go there. One expedition allowed in a few years ago found what could be many of the dead still resident. Maybe they should make it a memorial out of respect for the lives it cost and treat it as such.
