“” “” Another Chernobyl lie is that when radioactive cattle from the affected area were slaughtered, instead of destroying the contaminated meat, the Soviets simply mixed it with clean meat to dilute the radiation before selling it.”” “”
It is impossible to do and the entire story is an urban myth.
The problem was that the event produced tens of thousands abandoned households with pricy items by 1980s standards like TVs, stereos and thousands abandoned near brand new vehicles.
There was an electronic alarm system installed and patrols to revent looting but it went into disrepair immediately after Ukrainian independence.
If you look at it now there is not even a single bathtub or pipe and a wire left. Everything was stripped for scrap and sold somewhere.
Really?
A Russian told me the Chernobyl story, along with several other stories about Russia. And it is totally possible to dilute radioactivity to background levels. The principle of dilution works exactly the same for any substance.
