Radiation 14 times the safe level for humans was found in a recent catch, adding to concerns that contamination is continuing more than a decade after the 2011 meltdown.

Radionuclides are higher-mass elements that release excess energy. High-level exposure to these radioactive elements can cause long-term health risks such as an increased cancer risk. Due to their alarming finding, the researchers recommend that the Ukrainian government reinstate the routine monitoring of goods grown in the area, a safety measure that was ceased several years ago.
High levels of cancer-causing radionuclide found in food crops
The Ivankiv district of Ukraine has recorded some of the highest radionuclide concentrations detected outside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – a 30-mile radius around the nuclear plant that remains unoccupied to this day. Located about 30 miles south of the power plant, Ivankiv has emerged as an important agricultural district. However, the soil in the area has low exchangeable calcium values that can increase the amount of radionuclides that can be absorbed by plants.
a long time period. but never before did humans have such a great responsibility to subsequent generations the challenge of creating final repose a tree is huge it s probably the most complex infrastructure project in history and it s a tough test for democracy what is really the right moment to begin it. of knowledge keeps developing in science that means they ll always be progress in what we know final storage in a deep geological repository is one option of keeping the radionuclides away from the biosphere for a very long time as far as we know from the other option would be to do nothing with. archaeologist cornelius holt off from lunar university in sweden agrees that
water. yes michele and that if we re looking at how this bentonite swells to fill the open space maybe to the extent that it becomes completely sealed off. cracks in the rock could be sealed up this way radioactively contaminated water would be sealed in in the simulation only a small portion of the radionuclides managed to escape from a final report the tree that s good news for the client the federal government will like hearing these results but this is what s making some people suspicious. why does a positive imports often must we have to look at all these positive messages in detail do they really help us find a solution to the problem rather they just small interesting effects that can be interpreted either way. vet and con this country feel we have to be really concrete
