Chernobyl remains largely uninhabitable due to high levels of radioactive contamination resulting from the 1986 nuclear disaster. While some areas, particularly the city of Pripyat, are designated as exclusion zones and are off-limits to permanent residents, a few individuals, known as "self-settlers," have returned to live there despite the risks. Limited tourism is allowed under strict regulations, but long-term habitation is not safe due to ongoing radiation concerns.

How is chernobyl like today?

There is a commercial on TV that is about Chernobyl but I don't know if it's real or fake.... but they say that still today Chernobyl is still not okay to visit for chemical reasons. They said a while back that it was okay and they let all kinds of tourists in and turns out it wasn't. I think that there are still people who are living there today because they do no want to give up there home.
