As somebody who made their position as "anti-nuclear energy in Alberta" in the other thread, I have to say that this video isn't at all what I was talking about. I really don't see another accident like Chernobyl happening again- we've seen the aftermath and newer reactors are so much safer.

I think a couple of hundred years until people can live there again. However even now you can go there for very brief periods and be OK. IIRC they have even started shooting movies there, like 28 Days Later; where they need shots of an abondoned city.
