Can chernobyl still be lived in?

Chernobyl remains largely uninhabitable due to high levels of radioactive contamination resulting from the 1986 nuclear disaster. While some areas, particularly the city of Pripyat, are designated as exclusion zones and are off-limits to permanent residents, a few individuals, known as "self-settlers," have returned to live there despite the risks. Limited tourism is allowed under strict regulations, but long-term habitation is not safe due to ongoing radiation concerns.
