So, I've been hooked on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, and have since become more interested in the actual history, footage, maps, and photography of that region.
I have already been decidedly interested, previously. Consequently, I have seen some good info like the following:

Awesome website of some woman that road throughout the Chernobyl region. All true with lots of pictures.
Other than that, I have only seen some ok images and footage on National Geographic, History Channel, and similar channels.
Anyone have more to offer?
Let us dance in the glow of the glory of our Communism!

OKAY THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO PUNCH YOUR MOTHER'S CERVIX
Then why does it feel so right
nothing ever happens around here. wheres my meltdown. lucky commie bastards
In Soviet China, sticks chop you!
I mean, how many superheroes got their powers from good old radiation? Lots, thats how many.
Why did we see no Flash's or Spiderman's?
Failed
Not unplanned, I assure you.
t ZeroZero: shut up little man or maybe I won't take you to wear you could have three hot girls in your lap when you come to Shanghai. Maybe I'll take you to where the trannies hang out.
WOULD YOU LIKE THAT, BITCH?
Wee! I like being a nuclear engineer!
Hell yeah!
Punched the OP's mom right in the cervix or took Zero to trannytown, Shanghai?
Or both.
I could do both. I am like. Super.
(which it probably is)
A colleague is reading a book titled "Voices of Chernobyl" or something. Lots of first hand accounts of the victims and such. Looks cool.
You have like, huge balls
I start nuclear classes next semester. I'm pretty excited.
Nuclear decay through various methods of releasing alpha, beta, and gamma particles over several thousands of years.
Pray you have a good textbook. My book was hard to read, so I had a lot of difficulty.
Next fall, I'm taking a Plasma Physics and Fusion Engineering class as an elective. I'm pretty excited.
I'll try. Even though plasma is just ionized gas.
Man, that's awesome. I was thinking about doing fusion instead of power engineering, but I'm not sure yet.
Still have a year to decide, so I'm not too worried.
This is as yet unconfirmed, but most of these people are foreigners owing to the fact that sex-change surgery isn't exactly the hot gossip in China.
I am determined to find out if this place exists... and I would dearly love to bring ZeroZero along with me.
No, there was something on the news the other day about a quicker process to turn it into lead, as in, a few years time instead of a few millenia. I'll go see if I can find it.
GARGANTUAN they are.
NO NO NO NO NO

Facts, yes, are true, and it's still a beautiful story, very moving, and very informative... but it is a piece of mostly fiction.
I'M A TWITTER SHITTER
Well uranium and other things decay into lead on their own, you could probably speed up the process or initiate it elsewhere by doing something like bombarding it with neutrons, or something to that effect anyway. But this is basically transmutation we're talking about, alchemy from the old days. With nuclear stuff it can actually be done, but I doubt it is easy, or cheap. Large scale is probably not feasible.
well then make really small supermagnets and heaters. come on guy, I didn't say it would be easy
I think the easiest way to reduce nuclear waste is to introduce waste reprocessing (which Jimmy Carter banned after taking one nuclear engineering class at Georgia Tech and called himself an "expert" on the subject). Everyone outside the U.S. uses reprocessing to fuel some of their reactors. Basically, they take a waste and separate the fissionable products and stick them back in the reactor.
