    ok… so that just shows they’re idiots. there was not much radiation because most of it was scattered EVERYWHERE. and the radioactive material was very shortlived. Chernobyl is still very hot, especially in the immediate surrounding areas and nothing like after being nuked as the radioactive material left behind is very long lived, thousands of years will have to pass without a major clean up operation to become safe to live there.

      I live thousand miles and almost 40 years away from the Chernobyl disaster. And still we have to test and dispose boar meat regularly because of over the top Caesium-137 polution.

      And if that’s the case, one should explain why that is rather than trying to twist the truth to fit a narrative.

      I agree.
