Lots of pics and of course she carries around a radiation meter.

She even met a guy who lives there, one of 3,500 who refused to leave. Out of them only 400 survive. She discusses the after effects of the disaster and lots of interesting tidbits.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image17.2.jpg?resize=640%2C422\" width=\"640\" height=\"422\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image12.3.jpg?resize=623%2C354\" width=\"623\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image15.1.jpg?resize=448%2C560\" width=\"448\" height=\"560\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image15.3.jpg?resize=640%2C451\" width=\"640\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image19.1.jpg?resize=339%2C480\" width=\"339\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image23.3.jpg?resize=523%2C369\" width=\"523\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image25.3.jpg?resize=640%2C451\" width=\"640\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"chernobyl\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kiddofspeed.com\/367img\/image22.2.jpg?resize=640%2C451\" width=\"640\" height=\"451\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So speaking of disasters in Russia (seriously, exploding meteor?!?!
