Preserving the case around reactor block 4 and not building any new human settlements nearby already is something we will have to do for the foreseeable future. I guess the concrete structure of the buildings in the town itself would last for some time without much maintenance, so IMO the more immediate threat to preservation here would probably be tourists fidgeting with the stuff left behind.
