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!:
