Radiation hazards around Semey, Kazakhstan
I am planning a route through Kazakhstan with the view to cross into Russia around the Semey area. Can anyone give some (sensible please!) advice on the radiation and health hazards regarding this area or point to sources of information where I can obtain advice for travel in this region.
I have seen pictures of the Kurchatov area and results of the bomb tests carried out at Semipalatinsk and wondered if it is possible or (relatively) safe to visit this site for myself. Thanks in advance
link to pics of the test site:
