The Chernobyl meltdown also contaminated vast tracts of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and northern Europe with radioactive cesium. “There are still limitations on the export of sheep from Cumbria, in the U.K., and reindeer from Scandinavia,” Hoffman said. Cesium also contaminated fish from Scandinavia’s northern lakes.
Cesium is absorbed by plants and works its way through the food chain, getting into meat and milk. Unlike radioactive iodine, which has a short half life, cesium lingers in the environment. “Radioactive iodine will be gone in a month,” Hoffman said. “Cesium’s going to be around for decades.”
they ALL contain Plutonium.
Every reactor on the planet contains Plutonium.
Plutonium, 24,000 years.
The Hoffman quoted is a professional expert witness in environment litigation. Why should I believe him?

Lots of stuff contains naturally occurring plutonium. In fact, that’s one of the dangers of smoking. Tobacco, for some reason, contains plutonium, and when it’s burned, and the vapors enter the lungs, that radioactive material clings to cells. Sometimes it forms cancer, sometimes it doesn’t, but it’s always there, in tobacco.
