I read this article discussing how the effects of Chernobyl aren't getting any better. It appears so. Sadly, the toxic material's half-life, is increasing instead of decreasing. The radiation isn't going away either. You may ask, why doesn't it go away? I answer you. Animals and plants keep absorb the radiation, keeping it alive, and also passing it up the food chain when eating each other. This means food restrictions in Europe and the area formerly known as the Soviet Union, is going to last 10-15 more years than thought. No berries or sheep. The ecosystems are going to have to take even longer to recover. Now I have some questions.
1) Are scientists trying to come up with a dispersant?
2) We already put chemicals in our food to make it better, why can't Europeans have the food in the contaminated area and put chemicals in it to disperse the radiations.
3) Can we clean up radiation in the air?
