I notice this article propagates the usual monotonous misinformation, confusing mortality or morbidity with attributable mortality or attributable morbidity, respectively, and confusing radioactivity with radiation. Given this, I don't trust anything else they say either.

KIEV, Aug 29, 1999 -- (Agence France Presse)
"Just one day in the Chernobyl radiated zone will leave you with fond
memories," brags a tour operator in Kiev as if he was selling a trip to the
Caribbean. Insanity or educational journey? Dangerous trip or safe
excursion? Those questions do not seem to matter much in Kiev where several
travel agencies are offering a one-day tour in the contaminated area around
the plant.
