Where did you hear this from? They have sealed the reactor in concrete and it will remain that way for a very long time, because the radio activity is still high enough to kill humans. The area around the reactor has been cleared for something like 20 miles, and no one goes near it.
There is a whole series of shows called "Life after humans" that are based on the findings of Chernobyl and how fast the earth, nature, what have you will reclaim the territory. And yes you are right humans living there is out for sure, but I was using this to illustrate the resilience of both nature and our planet. I think most anything we do is temporary.

Here is an article from 2006 from New Zealand
