Chernobyl On Two Wheels

Combine a pretty Ukrainian girl named Elena, a big ZX-11 Kawasaki, a Geiger counter and what's left of Chernobyl and you have a winning website in my book. Elena's probably ill-advised forays into the Chernobyl nuclear dead zone reap some really poignant photos and being the daughter of a nuclear physicist, her insight and commentary on the disaster is excellent. I had no idea the scope of the tragedy. Thanks to Elena, now I do.

I saw that site a few months ago when my roomate found it. It's really spooky to think what something like that can take away in an instant.

I always watch gearbits for last few months regularly. I am in this field of radiation protection and safety. In addition to figures,equations,microroentgen we should see such phtographs also ,which gives a different dimension to the subject. Elena you are wonderful and have done a great job for opening eyes of the whole world.
