Yes, I would.
You could probably volunteer to live in Pripyat in exchange for deeds to large chunks of land in the exclusion zone and giving up your right to medical liability claims. I am sure you could get great free health care in exchange for regular health checks and blood samples. You could be a human radiation-pioneer and beat the land rush by 600 years :

Radiation will stay in the Chernobyl area for the next 48,000 years, but humans may begin repopulating the area in about 600 years, give or take three centuries. The experts predict that, by then, the most dangerous elements will have disappeared or been sufficiently diluted into the rest of the world's air, soil and water.
