Re: Exclusion zone... National Geo Mag did a story on the folks still living 
there and there was a TV program also. Both were very interesting.

Something that has struck me about many of the pictures I have seen from the 
exclusion zone is that many of the rooms shown have been looted.  I can 
imagine that over 28 years with no maintenance some windows would break, 
roofs leak, and buildings deteriorate.  Maybe even whole banks of windows 
would break, letting in the weather.  But the furniture wouldn't evaporate. 
The books and toys wouldn't spontaneously dump themselves in a pile in the 
corner.

If someone told me that organized crime has systematically stripped the area 
of everything of value that isn't nailed down, and that bribed officials let 
it happen I would find that less surprising than if this profit center was 
ignored.

Apart from being a little "over the top" on radiation issues (and the whole 
salt consumption thing....) this novel has an interesting (and likely 
realistic) perspective on the issue you mention!:
