Wolves, bears and lynx have rebounded in the radioactive landscape, along with a rare breed of horses native to Mongolia. Scientists say it shows nature’s ability to recover when human activity is removed.

Really, the risk of radiation is pretty damn low. There are some hot spots, and maybe you’d find a hot piece of material (probably not) but it’s mostly just wilderness that has restricted access. It’s not dangerously radioactive. Even in Pripyt it’s mostly fine. You can even get close to the destroyed reactor and be OK. Keep in mind, the last reactor at Chernobyl only stopped operating in 2000.
