Les incendies qui brûlent des sols et des forêts contenant une grande quantité de particules radioactives entraînent l'aérosolisation de ces particules qui se propagent ensuite, à nouveau, sous le vent :

Fire burning soil and forest that have a large amount of radioactive particles results in the aerosolizing of these particles which then spread, again, downwind:

“Fire is spreading in the Chernobyl exclusion zone after drone crash”

Interesting factoid stated by an MIT professor I'm just hearing at the Clean Air Task Force conference on nuclear energy today in Brussels: in the 40 years since #Chornobyl there have been around 15 fatal cases of thyroid cancer.

Tempted to just switch off for a bit? I once did that in a very drastic way.

I was a young journalist trainee, tired from work. Some free days in the end of April: a news-free period. I vowed not to read the papers, listen to the radio, or watch the news on TV. I switched off radically. Took a walk in the rain - that rain. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/aadc1a14-82af-4df4-9153-12b4b6ed0001

As part of sustaining the traditional #radiophobia in #Germany the Umweltministerium is periodically posting[^1] this scary map. Its purpose is to demonstrate that the negative effects of #Chornobyl disaster last even 40 years after it happened. The color coding for Cesium-137 content is the essence of this manipulation, because red suggests its something dramatically exceeding the norm but the scale next to it shows the highest content is ~48 kBq/m2.

Let’s now convert it into actual radiation dose ingested by a potential consumer. The calculation is conveniently provided by Germany’s own Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz[^2]

The ingestion of 80,000 becquerel caesium-137 corresponds to an exposure of about 1 millisievert for adults.

For reference, a single CT full-body scan delivers 10–30 mSv. So if you somehow consumed all mushroom completely covering 1 m2 of the “polluted” land you’d receive 0.05-0.15 of a CT scan (because the max is 58 kBq/m2 and in the example above they use 80 kBq). But the BfS example actually also conveniently refers to the actual mushroom consumption too:

The consumption of 200 grams of mushrooms with 1,000 becquerel caesium-137 per kilogram results in an exposure of 0.0025 millisievert. This is considerably less than the radiation exposure during a flight from Frankfurt to Gran Canaria. However, if adults eat such a mushroom meal each week, they will receive an additional annual radiation exposure corresponding to about nine flights from Frankfurt to Gran Canaria. Expressed in numbers it is 0.13 millisievert.

P.S. human body naturally emits ~5 kBq from potassium-40 (K-40) all the time

Of course the #nuclear industry marks the 40th anniversary of the #Chornobyl radiological disaster by enthusiastically demanding more nuclear. No word for anyone who lived in #Pripyat or where the downwind plumes deposited fallout. Just more public $$ for them.

Here to witness the consequences of Russia’s reckless attack on #Chornobyl.

40 years on from the worst nuclear disaster in history, it undermines decades of support and investments, for which the EU has been the major donor, to contain the radioactive fallout.

This endangers us all. Russia will be held accountable.

In the meantime, the #EU and @EBRD will #StandWithUkraine and play our part in supporting critical repairs.

Regarding #Chornobyl / #Chernobyl / #Chornobylj , let me remind a couple of things which people abroad may fail to remember.

The disaster was not an accident. #Commies wanted to drain a few more watts from the Nature (now y'all tend to blame #capitalism for that, ha?) and ordered a crazy experiment requiring the majority of safety systems in the reactor to be shut down. What could go wrong, indeed?

After the catastrophe, the reaction of #USSR authorities was blatantly poor. #Communists tried to conceal the event and its impact (while rumours, obviously, started to circulate), and in particular, refused to cancel the demonstration of #May1st in #Kyiv. And don't fool yourself, it was not a kind of intrinsically protest demonstrations (as if any other ones made any sense in a free country) you can see them now on #1May in free world, it was a state event, act of #communism idolatry (and yes, if you had decided to fail to appear, the authorities would have QUESTIONS). So yes, they literally pushed people under radioactive fallout for the sake of their deadly ideology.

In #Ukraine, there is an opinion that Chornobyl disaster was one of the nails in the coffin of the #soviet nidus. Hard to say, but it remains a toxic scar on beautiful Ukrainian Polissja, which will poison the nature for centuries.

40 years since April 26, 1986:

#Chernobyl

The worst #nuclear #disaster in human #history

You can still find traces of cesium-137 and strontium-90 in #Europe's wild mushrooms

#Soviet govt arrogance led to Chernobyl and that warped into Russian govt arrogance leading to the #UkraineWar
