> A nuclear reactor blowing up, though? The immediate death potential is mostly limited to the on-site staff and the "liquidators" (as evidenced in Chernobyl), but the land wide swaths around the site can remain uninhabitable for hundreds of years. Because a bit of land is what we are really running out off. > To this day, wild pigs and fungi in Bavaria (1700 km away!) have to be radiation tested (https://www.welt.de/regionales/bayern/article154639428/Bayer... https://www.welt.de/regionales/bayern/article154639428/Bayer...) due to Cs exposure in the fallout of Chernobyl. Because of massive government overreaction and idiotic regulation that make no sense at all because they are literally based on fake science that was accidentally adopted by government as a bases for regulation.
