Looking at the radiation patterns from the Chernobyl accident itself:

I doubt that radiation from a fire in the area around Chernobyl would be significant, especially in Kazakhstan.
The animals and people who died from the Chernobyl accident were exposed to thousands of times as much radiation as had landed anywhere outside of the Ukraine and Belarus.
- schiffern 11y agoThe spread of radioactivity depends on wind and weather patterns, which aren't constant. The article even mentions recent heavy rainfall in the steppe which could have washed radioactive particles out of the upper atmosphere. It's not that hard to disprove this theory with a Geiger counter, so it seems worth checking.
