In all seriousness, i would love to visit Pripyat/Chernobyl.
Beautiful building thanks will defiantly check that out.
No need to be at all. It's very low, and a day trip is no different to radiation from a transatlantic flight.

Chernobyl fall off 
I haven't it's on my must do list.

More i look into it more i want to go! Hopefully i can end up persuading him hes letting the group down.

I've visited Chernobyl myself twice now. Fantastic both times. Climbed most of the way up Duga 3 and also up onto the roof of Reactor 5.
If you want detailed info let me know. I currently do some work for a company that runs tours into the exclusion zone (we put together the Top gear special). Not sure if that violates forum rules! Mods let me know if this counts as advertising or anything.
