IT'S THE holiday with a difference we've all been been waiting for. The Ukrainian company New Men Travel is launching an "extreme tour" of Chernobyl, site of the world's worst nuclear accident in 1986. It promises visitors radiation monitors, protective clothing and a close-up view of the sarcophagus surrounding the wrecked reactor. You can also get to see the "graveyard" of vehicles contaminated during the clean-up, the abandoned company town of Pripyat and a host of nuclear processing plants.
All this is for $460 if you take a private car and a personal English-speaking guide, or for $340 if you join a minibus tour. According to Dimitri Osyka from New Men Travel, some people might like to "touch the spot of one of the biggest ecological and human disasters". Radiation levels are such that "one short visit should not do any harm to a tourist", he says, though those taking the tour do so at their own risk.
