How long in years will it take before chernobyl is inhabitable again?

The Chernobyl disaster site is expected to remain largely uninhabitable for several hundred years due to radioactive contamination. Some estimates suggest it may take 300 to 600 years for the radiation levels to decrease sufficiently for safe human habitation. However, certain areas may become safer sooner, with some researchers proposing that parts of the exclusion zone could be livable in as little as 100 years. Overall, the timeline varies significantly depending on specific locations and levels of radiation.
