Ah yeah that's sort of what I thought. It's amazing to me that there are areas you can explore like that, with no suits or anything. But from your article I take it people still do explore the zones that are closed to tourists? Must still be a lot of interesting places to see, deep in the irradiated zones

Nah, the closed zones are not only closed, they are literally deadly. You will get radiation poisoning if you go there. "Stalkers" just visit the zone without permission and explore on their own, they are mostly harmless adventurists. A friend of mine crossed illegally and his group had an overnight stay in one of the abandoned houses of Pripyat. However, there actually is still police in Pripyat and it even has its own road police, so they can catch you if you are not careful.
Yeah that's what I figured. I hope to one day at least be able to check out the safe zones!
