You can only say, 23 years later, I-131's radioactivity almost decreases to 1/8 of original radioactivity.

Why is Chernobyl forbidden?
The area where the city of Chernobyl is, is highly radioactive after the nuclear disaster at the nearby power plant in 1986. A few people still live in the city, but the power plant is abandoned as is the nearby city Pripyat.
Is Chernobyl occupied today?
No. Chernobyl is still contaminated with nuclear radiation, making this city unsafe to live in.
Is the chernobyl disaster still going?
Its not. The Beta particles (Iodine 131 ) emmited from the diaster will have been spread far and wide now and will also have been less concentrated, so therefore the actual Iodine 131 emmited from the diasaster is of relativly low harm to us, about as much harm as backround radiation.
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.

What is the most famous nuclear disaster in Europe?
The most famous Nuclear disaster in Europe was the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster in Ukraine. Nuclear radiation from an explosion in one of the four reactors leaked into the surrounding area and the near by city of Pripyat. Over 50,000 people had to be evacuated. 50 workers and firemen were killed and thousands of others died of cancers related with being exposed to the radiation from the disaster. Chernobyl and Pripyat are still heavily radioactive today and can still cause nuclear mutations if exposed for to long.

How was Chernobyl disaster prevented?
By not doing that carelessly planned turbine rundown experiment immediately after shutdown of the reactor and postponing it until just before restartup would have been much safer. But there are dozens of other single things that could have also prevented.
