More Extreme Tourism Opportunities in Ukraine

Another radiation site to visit in Ukraine:

" The abandoned uranium mine, located in the Ukrainian village of Dovhyvka, poses a great danger to people and the environment, Oleksiy Vedmidsky, the head of a local group of ecologists, said.
"My particle detector measured 2611 micro Roentgen per hour there," the environmentalist said adding that normal exposure is 30 micro Roentgen per hour. "Even in the Chernobyl zone near the reactor the exposure is 500-600 micro Roentgen per hour," he said."

The government's reaction is very typical:

""People who are spreading alarm used a particle detector not certified in Ukraine," Serhiy Milyutyn, spokesman for Dnepropetrovsk region's administration said when asked.
Vedmidsky said he used a Geiger counter manufactured by a reliable U.S. firm and emphasized that he trusts its readings."
