8Chernobyl
Chernobyl is infamous for the nuclear accident which took place there on April 26, 1986. This accident, which spread nuclear fallout throughout much of the surrounding country, is generally considered the worst nuclear power plant failure in history. Although radiation levels in the area are still high, there is a surprising level of interest in visiting Chernobyl. The government of Ukraine has declared that radiation danger can be kept to a minimum if tourists obey its rules and regulations.
