Today the site remains an exclusion zone and off-limits to visitors, though Lyuba and the few others were eventually permitted to stay.

Today the site remains an exclusion zone and off-limits to visitors, though Lyuba and the few others were eventually permitted to stay. Hundreds of villages in Belarus met a similar fate in the decades after Chernobyl and today approximately 20% of the country remains contaminated to varying degree with fallout including radioactive caesium, strontium and plutonium.
