However people will not be able to return to live in the evacuated zone for another 24,000 years, Ukrainian authorities say

24000 years... by then we've probably wiped ourselves out with all the chemicals in our food, water and environment.

power 2000 households, nice, they don't mention battery storage.

Do you suppose they forgot about that component?
 
no I think more likely they forgot to mention it, I was wondering if they are using Tesla batteries like we have in South Australia (wind powered), apparently, they work exceptionally well.

A month in, Tesla’s SA battery is surpassing expectations

As I understand it, the solar-panels energy will be amalgamated and fed into the existent electric transmission lines that once powered the Chernobyl nuclear facility.

ok so may be they don't have backup batteries, we've had big problems in South Australia but that was due to a major event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_South_Australian_blackout

The South Australian blackout of 2016 was a widespread power outage in South Australia that occurred as a result of storm damage to electricity transmission infrastructure on 28 September 2016. The cascading failure of the electricity transmission network resulted in almost the entire state losing its electricity supply. Kangaroo Island did not lose its supply,[1] as the Kangaroo Island power station had been built to supply the island for the contingency of a failure in the power cable under the Backstairs Passage.[2]

AEMO identified software settings in the wind farms that prevented repeated restarts once voltage or frequency events occurred too often. The group of wind turbines that could accept 9 ride-throughs in 120 seconds stayed on line through much of the event before the system went black. The rather larger group of turbines that could not accept this many repeated ride-throughs dropped out, instigating the overload and shutdown of the interconnector, and hence the electricity supply. AEMO has suggested better fault ride-through capability for the wind farms. The high wind speed caused 20 MW of wind power to disconnect to prevent overspeed.[10]
 
If one can't live there why are these workers milling around without protective gear?

if they need it, they will ask Mask like you did)

its very a popular tourist- tour in Belarus and Ukraine , if you follow the guiding lines nothing bad will happened to you

1) Living in the Exclusion Zone and spending a day there are vastly different things.

2) They are not near the reactor site. Radiation diminishes the farther away you are. In addition, the damaged reactor (#4) is now encased in a special sarcophagus (2017).

I spent about 8 hours at Chernobyl once (mostly in the deserted town of Pripyat). But I did venture to within 400 meters of the damaged reactor.

My dosimeter (mSv/h) informed me that I was receiving a yearly dose of radiation in only one hour. This was prior to the sarcophagus.

24000 years may be an overstatement, initially they believed the whole area would be uninhabitable, now they have tourists through the area. Many areas the radiation dissipated rather quickly, while some areas like the reactor and certain hotspots still have deadly radiation levels.

Either way for safety reasons inhabiting the area is for a very long time going to be a no go, the solar panels were meant as a way to utilize space where constant manpower is unfeasable, basically making gain from wasted space, which is far better than doing nothing with it.
