Most people know Chernobyl as the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster. But the launch of a new television series has only enhanced its reputation as a hotspot for tourism.
It's the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster, responsible for causing an incalculable number of deaths and exposing millions to dangerous radiation.
Today, groups of tourists throng through the abandoned city of Pripyat, next to Chernobyl, to experience deserted nurseries, funfairs, stores and other grim spectacles of the site -- their bleeping radiation monitors adding an eerie soundtrack. Chernobyl and Pripyat have been on the dark tourism map since the radioactive Exclusion Zone surrounding them opened up to visitors in 2011, but --" -- travel interest in the Ukrainian site has grown considerably in recent weeks, according to tour operators.
