The tours to Chernobyl are safe. In what concerns the radiation, the levels of radition in major parts of restricted zone are at levels that would not influence human health even for one month stay.
The route goes through this safe places and approaches the former nuclear plant to distance of few hundred meters.
You can not take anything from the restricted zone, as longterm proximity of radioactive objects from there could cause you health problems.
Currently there are several dozens, mainly elderly, people living pernamently in the zone despite prohibition from the authorities.
