    @@MarianLuca-rz5kk Chernobyl made an awful lot of it. Before Chernobyl, the quantities would have been smaller, and before the start of nuclear testing, the quantities would have been very small. And now Fukushima made still more of it, although with the mitigating factor of less of it going into the atmosphere (but still going into the ocean as well as the soil and ground water immediately around there) -- the extended fire at Chernobyl really made sure it would get spread widely.

    I was travelling with my dad by train close Moscow a couple of weeks after the plant blew up. I remember the train made a 15 minute stop or something, and we went out to get some air. Some people were selling vegetables near the station and an old lady was selling mushrooms. And the mushrooms looked great. I used to pick wild mushrooms as a kid, so I knew good mushrooms when I saw them. Then a couple of gov't agents showed up -- not cops but they had some kind of government ID and had authority. They confiscated her mushrooms. And she was crying -- she'd spent all morning collecting them. I was just a kid so all of this flew over my head. Of course, when I grew up I learned that mushrooms had soaked up and concentrated the dilute fallout that reached Moscow. And also, that the mushrooms looked so good because the radiation had killed off the parasites.

    Mushrooms are great bio-accumulators of not even just Cesium-137, but multiple different kinds of elements; Pleurotus ostreatus, for example, is capable of concentrating cadmium within it's basidiocarps. On the topic of Cesium-137, however, Gomphidius glutinosus is probably one of, if not the best bio-accumulator of Cesium-137, capable of concentrating it up to 10,000x over normal background levels within their basidiocarp. On the topic of radioactivity, there are also the radiotrophic molds that exist and thrive within the environment of Chernobyl. Fungi are hella cool.

    @@sylv256 Current studies have found that increased melanin content in these fungi correlates with enhanced growth, so we hypothesize that the melanin in radiotrophic fungi helps support an important metabolic reaction of some kind involving radiation, although more evidence is needed to fully prove that it is melanin which is responsible for the perceived radiotrophic abilities. At the very least, we know that melanin in radiotrophic fungi is very much most likely what helps shield them from radiation's damaging effects as melanins are known to be able to absorb electromagnetic radiation due to their dark colors and high molecular weights. The process is called radiosynthesis and doesn't have a lot of study done on it (for obvious reasons), but even if it's not purely radiosynthesis (incorporating other methods of energy generation) or not radiosynthesis at all, these fungi are still very resistant to radiation when compared to most organisms on the planet.

    Mushroom picking is very popular in Czechia, Slovakia and Poland - despite that, life expectancy has been steadily rising in all of these countries and is comparable to developed countries that weren't as exposed to Chernobyl's fallout and where mushroom picking isn't nearly as popular.

    I'm from Slovakia and what you say is true. He didn't show distribution of Cesium for Slovakia but I expect it to be something between Ukrainian an Austrian. So quite low. But there are other factors affecting expectancy. For instance we eat much less junk food than US and have less obesity. So despite more radiation and worse healthcare life expectancy is pretty good.

    It's a case of you might see an increased number of cases of cancer in a population. Your family is too small a sample size to tell anything at all. So let's say a person without exposure has a risk of getting cancer in their lifetime of 20%, you may have a risk of 21% (number taken out of my ass, but you get the point). You will never be able to tell what the cause is, but it may show up in statistics. It has also only been 40 years, not even half a lifetime has passed since chernobyl.

Fun fact - the exit points of the Chernobyl area was a mandatory "beep down" of your clothes/bags. If they detected radioactive particles you'd have to ditch them. The guide joked that the guards used fake detectors to make "hot chicks take their pants off". We all laughed "sort of" but that's messed up!

    Thanks for linking to that detector, still a little expensive for me to play around with, but still good to know, I really was interested in what that software told, so the detector actually can differentiate between different energy of gamma rays? That's actually pretty nuts when you think about it. That said, I don't think those detections from your camera are loops like a cloud chamber, you'd need to have a fairly strong magnetic field to get those from any high energy charged particle, plus photons don't make loops.

    "It's in our oceans and seafood right now." Cause it is irrelevant. Even right at the plant the radiation is minimal, then there was only a very small amount released into the oceans. If you would really care about that then you would mention that China has, for the past decades, released more radiation into the ocean every single WEEK than Fukushima has in its entire livetime (including the meltdown and all the released material there).

    Fukushima had a containment vessel. The only remnant outside of the vessel is the cooling water which is stored. The amount of stored water relative to the amount of seawater even 5 miles from the plant is miniscule. Seawater contains radiation naturally. It's not worth talking about. Quit spreading fear.

    The fallout was not uniform. Czechoslovakia got much less fallout than Austria. Foraging mushrooms in Czechia and Slovakia is very popular and the only risk to your health is if you pick poisonous mushrooms. Also game meat is safe. Some regions in Austria have Cs-137 levels much higher and the wildlife feasting on the mushrooms really is radioactive. But the levels are still very low. Radioactivity can be detected at very tiny levels. To have any statistical risk of consuming "Austrian radioactive mushrooms", you wold need to eat kilograms of them every day for at least 10 years.

    The clouds moved across most of Europe but the radiation only came down where it rained. So some regions got lucky and others now have random spots of radiation based on how much it rained back then. I think what scared people so much isn't the average radiation but how unevenly it was distributed and not knowing how much is in your food.

    I suppose that it is a little off-topic, which is why he didn't mention it, but Potassium-40 can decay into Argon-40 in two ways: usually with an electron capture with an emission of a neutrino and a gamma ray, but also with "beta plus decay": an emission of a neutrino and a positron. That means bananas (and you, if you've eaten bananas recently) are a very small-scale antimatter factory!

    Is it true objects can instantly go from one place to another by controlling the atomic vibration as a whole. As you move any object around the atomic vibration changes. Even when stationary the vibration is constantly changing because the earth is rotating and moving through space. As you walk and move around your atomic vibration changes according to where you are in space and time . If you can control the atomic vibration as a whole, you can make any craft or object go anywhere instantly. You would need something beyond a super computer to make the calculation needed.

    as a member of the mycological society of Munich i would like to point out that different species of mushrooms will have massively different levels of radiation - as in across several orders of magnitude. also yeah, wild boar carcasses, which have to be inspected by law anyway bc of trichines, are also assessed for their levels of radiation and if those are too high (heard of cases of threefold the commonly accepted upper limit) they aren't cleared for human consumption.
