I wonder how much research is done at chernobyl.

There is no place else like it, and hopefully never will be.

Huh. Wouldn’t we be blessed if a treatment for radiation poisoning comes out of something so bad?.

Hmmm. Oak Ridge (TN) reservation and the quality, sought after deer hunting permits come to mind.

Grammy, I owe you freepmail. I’m going to catch up on the garden before dark (it needs help after my weeklong absence), then I’ll fm you tonight.

This sounds like the opening paragraphs of a new Michael Crichton thriller. Don’t let the fungus out!

‘Wolves Eat Dogs’ - Martin Cruz Smith

An excellent novel set smack dab in the middle of current-day Chernobyl. You’ll learn a lot and be entertained as well. :)

A young Ukrainian lady named Elena toured the Chernobyl exclusion zone a few years back. Interesting pictures and commentary can be found here.

i’m afraid that Chernobyl will be forever barren as are Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Lies!
Lies, more lies and damned lies!

The place will be a desolate, barren wasteland for 100,000 years!

The delusional moonbats, many with "PHD" after their names told us so, ad nauseam. That's why the US hasn't allowed new Nuclear Plants for 40 years.

Good enough for me!

Deep in the radioactive bowels of the smashed Chernobyl reactor... some very hardy fungi which researchers believe aren't just tolerating the severe radiation, but actually harnessing its energy to thrive. "Our findings suggest that [the fungi] can capture the energy from radiation and transform it into other forms of energy that can be used for growth," said microbiologist Arturo Casadevall from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in New York, USA.
