Mycio said tourists should wear “something that you wouldn’t mind leaving behind in case it does get dirty.” But most radioactive material has sunk into the soil, and visitors receive a dose comparable to the exposure they would receive on a trans-Atlantic flight.

“The only concern I would have is if too many people come in and it becomes this nuclear Disneyland,” Mycio said. “That would take away from a wildlife sanctuary (that has thrived) in the absence of people.”
