Travel Writer: Nicky Larkin’s vodka-filled night in Chernobyl left a dilemma: die of thirst or die of radiation...
The Chernobyl
Hotel is not really a hotel. It’s a big yellow prefabricated fibreglass
cabin-like structure, driven down from Sweden and plonked in place to
house the scientists who come to the exclusion zone. On that particular
week however, Yuri and I were the only guests.
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is about 10km from the Chernobyl hotel. Pripyat, the empty city which was built in 1970 for the workers of the power plant, is about two km from the looming reactors.
Yuri drove at speed towards the empty city, we were
the only car on the road. Within the 30km exclusion zone, there is
another 10km zone around the power plant – the inner zone.
