As I told you, they climbed into the blown up reactor , which still contained some glowing fuel 10 years after the accident, do you think anyone can find anything more dangerous than that in the Red Forest? Theres a PBS Nova documentary about that survey. They wanted to know how much of the fuel remained in the reactor itself, and how much did seeped down into the basement, so they literally went through everywhere where it could be found. With a few decades passed the really nasty stuff has already gone. And thats only reactor block 4, the other 3 blocks remained operational producing electricity with thousands of workers working there every single day up to 2002 as far as I remember, when the powerplant was decommissioned.

Translation error I suspect, however not certain. He might have meant a Bq ( becquerel ) reading of over 1000. Becquerels measure the rate of radioactive decay, indicating the number of radioactive disintegrations occurring per second within a given volume. If the concentration of uranium in the water is high enough to result in a measurement of 1000 Bq/L or more, it could indicate a significant level of radioactivity and potential health risks, especially if the exposure is prolonged or if the water is ingested. Ionizing radiation can damage nucleotides, being the building blocks of DNA and RNA molecules.

It’s not only about the radiation, but the heavy metals. Uranium is a heavy metal too, and a lot of other heavy metals are deposited from the mining. The actual consequences can’t be estimated until international teams of scientists investigates all the ares where the water ends up (won’t ever happen). And until Russia allows factual information about the radioactive and poisonous deposits from the mining (they won’t, and likely they haven’t even bother to keep records on possible environmental hazards), so calculations can be made.

It is expected that within the next 20 years therefor certain agrarian areas will have increased radiation levels of ground water as it takes a while for it all to reach the ground water and usage of that vertilizer over the decades only increased. edit: grammar

Using this once or a couple of times would not have been a big deal, but as it was used regularly for decades the soil got more and more saturated and the rain water desolved it and washed it downwards. There is a nothern agrarian village where the groundwater already is undrinkable because of it. In other areas it will take longer as the structure of the soil is different everywhere. Still eventually it reaches groundwater. I might be mistaken but the report could have been by DW or maybe NRW. Also my intention is not to make you scared, the effects will still take decades to fully come to fruition and not everywhere equally. I would expect that the water treatment facilities here will do the same as in the 70s with the a-bomb testings worldwide, add jod to the water to mitigate. Maybe other ways will be viable too till then i am no expert.

So now what's your choice, Putin? The fire button or the eject button?

through 45 seconds anyway this physicist, or the translator, makes several errors. Alpha exposure as he describes will not cause cancer. Heavy metal radionuclides will. That is what they have. They emit aphas sometimes, but it is the beta and gamma modes that cause the problems.

While most natural uranium will get passed if it is accidentally ingested, some of it will get absorbed. The uranium that gets absorbed will replace calcium and can stay in the body for years or decades. That's also true for many of other radioisotopes that will be found around natural uranium as most lanthanides and actinides are similar enough to calcium from a chemical perspective for the body not to be able to tell them apart. Natural uranium isn't overly radioactive and isn't much worse than ingesting most other heavy metals. Even U-234 has a half-life of tens of thousands of years with U-235 being in the hundreds of millions and U-238 being in the billions. The real risk from this event will be from all the other radioisotopes that will be in the soil around the uranium that will have built up over the eons. Many of those will be much more radioactive, will stick around in the body for just as long if absorbed, and be more readily absorbed by the body.
