Staying in the area closest to the explosion can cause severe radiation poising. The reactor that exploded over 20 years ago is now enclosed in a giant concrete shelter to keep the remaining radiation particles inside. The Chernobyl accident was the only incident in history to reach the highest level on the International Nuclear Event Scale, a level 7, which requires "a major accident." The incident resulted in 56 direct deaths to the explosion, and 4000 other people in the nuclear fallout. In total, 366000 people were forced to leave their homes on that fateful April day, and ordered to only take one suitcase, and they were told they would return in 3 days. It has been 20 years since Chernobyl has been inhabited, and any future attempt of settling the area is very slim. "50000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town ...
