Environment & Health

In Chernobyl, a Ukrainian technician in 1998 checked a spot with a Geiger counter in the forest outside the damaged nuclear plant, which burned in a wildfire in 1992, six year after the worst nuclear accident in history. The fire burned 667 acres. As a consequence, the radioactive fallout was released in smoke aerosols and transported various distances while radioactive ashes remained on the site.
