I've seen a few videos in YouTube of idiots visiting Chernóbil to take photos, and other about going to Chernobyl with a Geiger detector to find a radioactive speck. I guess you need some dust mask to dig trenches, but I don't think you need a special vehicle to move around. [Anyway, I prefer to be far away, just in case.]
